And modern bodies too
And modern buddies too
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norma Major.
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer.
Norma Major is the wife of former British Prime Minister John Major.
I am still living with your goat
Lonely and dreaming of a wet coat
I don't wanna be your down town
I don't wanna be your stupid chicken
With my big black boobs and a can of mase
I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't wanna be your down time
I don't wanna be your stupid game
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I am still living with your goat
I am still living with your ghost
I could be a gay presenter, or space invador.
I could be a caped crusader, or space invader.
I could be a super model or Norma Major.
I could be a super model or Norman Mailer.
Norma Major is the wife of former British Prime Minister John Major.
I don't wanna be your downtown,
I don't wanna be your stool pigeon
I don't wanna be your downtime,
I don't wanna be you stupid game
I don't wanna be your good time
I don't wanna be your fallback ruck anymore
I don't wanna be your good time
I don't wanna be your fallback crutch anymore
I don't want to be your down tide
I don't want to be your stool picking.
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game.
I don't want to be your down time,
I don't want to be your stool pigeon.
I don't wanna be your down time
I don't wanna be your stupid game.
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stoop again.
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game
At first, I used to think the lyrics went "I don't want to be your downtime, I don't want to be your stool pigeon" (which has already been listed here). Then I 'corrected' myself, but STILL had it wrong!
I don't want to be your downtown
I don't want to be a stupid king.
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game.
I just wanna feel some dark side
I just wanna feel some sunshine
I'm still dreaming of your ghost
I'm tired of living on the west coast
I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I'm still living with your goat.
I'm still living with your ghost.
I'm still living with your goats.
I'm still living with your ghost.
I'm still sleeping with your goat
I'm tired of living on the West Coast.
I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the West Coast.
Santa Monica on the bonaparte
Santa Monica on the Boulevard
Stand across the break up
Swim out past the breakers
Swear our backs are breaking.
Swim out past the breakers.
Swim out past the breakers
Leave your fat behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
We all live inside the ocean
We can live beside the ocean
We can live inside the ocean
We can live beside the ocean
We can stand outside the ocean
Leave them all behind
Walk across the break-up
Watch the world die
or
We can walk across the ocean
Leave the world behind
Swim across the break-up
Watch the world fly.
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die.
We could live inside the ocean
We can live beside the ocean
We don't live inside the ocean
or
We don't live beside the ocean
We could live beside the ocean
We get lepars out of the ocean
Leave their arms behind.
We could live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind.
With my big black 'umpfh!' in an old suitcase.
With my big black boots in an old suitcase.
