I know only fools have needs
But this one never begs.

I lay on the bed with you
We could make some book of records.

I showed up late one night with a neon light for an easer.
I showed up late one night with a neon light for a knees-up.
I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa.
I showed up late one night with a neon light for a pizza.
I showed up late one night with a neon light for an easer.
I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa
I showed up late one night with a neon light for a Beezer
I showed up late one night with a neon light for an visa.

I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa
My voice too rough for cigarettes.
or
My voice too rough from cigarettes.
My voice too rough with cigarettes.
My voice too wrong with cigarettes
My voice too rough with cigarettes
Only fools have knees, but these ones never bend.
I know only fools have needs, but this one never begs.

We could play some beat-up records.
or
We could play some Beatle records.
We could make a book of records.
You're very, very fat
You better you better you bet
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up all those records.
Your dog keeps licking my nose
And chewing up all those letters.
Your love keeps nickin' my nose.
or
Your dog keeps nippin' my nose.
Your dog keeps lickin' my nose.
