Auteurs - Idiot Brother lyrics

rate me

They were hanging on<br />

For grim life<br />

They were clutching<br />

At straws<br />

They were sure<br />

That the ship was at port<br />

As it sailed far from shore<br />

They were keen philosophers<br />

They were keen on hurt<br />

They were like<br />

A pair of dumb dogs<br />

Rolling in the dirt<br />

(That's) you and<br />

Your idiot brother<br />

Waiting in the wing<br />

Which one holds up the other<br />

Which one pulls the string<br />

One bite of the apple<br />

One chop at the tree<br />

Is your word<br />

As good as your bond<br />

Your stammer, your honesty<br />

You could have it for free<br />

Because nothing works<br />

For no-one<br />

And that won't work<br />

For me<br />

Nothing works<br />

For no-one at all<br />

No-one works for free<br />

We were<br />

Getting on famously<br />

I was doing my bit<br />

They got no claim on me<br />

So send me a writ<br />

I was walking<br />

Around your house<br />

In the middle of the night<br />

Home medicine erotica<br />

Is your prescription right?<br />

I want to kill your sister<br />

With some business advice<br />

Never question your loyalty<br />

On the telephone line<br />

And what about<br />

Our fat friend<br />

With the golden ear<br />

Upped and left<br />

Turned down<br />

Your best shot<br />

Now you're in arrears
