Lyrics

Oh, there's a place for you
You'd better stay in it
A place for everything
and of course all you can do is talk about it

Oh, you've got it all
Yes, you've got it all
Yes, you've got it all
You've got it all
It let you down

Now it doesn't seem so simple
that dirt gets everywhere
And your mouth won't get you out of it:
standing naked, standing bare

Oh, you knew it all
Yes you knew it all
Yes you knew it all
You knew it all
It let you down

Now see it all burning, your contract in ashes, your clean-living lovers, your reasonable wishes, timetabled kisses, your well rehearsed phrases, your separate bedrooms, your forbidden places. Out on the moorland, you're naked and bleeding with no sign of shelter and no place to hide in. You're screaming for mercy, abandoned, forsaken, screaming for mercy, and then you awaken.

La la lala lala lala la la la ...
