How I love a bouncy melody with a nasty spiteful edge. Probably sorted the middle section after watching a documentary about mid 70s american rock combined with whisky or something...

lyrics

You want it, you got it, you take it, you break now maybe?
You drop it, you stop it, have it and hold it now maybe?
You live well and sleep well despite all the hard sell right baby?
You want it, you got it, you take it, you break now maybe...

Don't make me laugh out loud. Your pains just not allowed.

You grab it, you smash it, you hide it and snide it now maybe.
You hang it to dry it and blame others for it now maybe.
You live well and sleep well despite all the hard sell and that's where you're going and that's all you've got.
You grab it, you smash it, you hide it and snide it now maybe.

Don't make me laugh out loud. Your pains just not allowed.

My bruise times new.
My bruise times two.
My bruise times you.

Don't make me laugh out loud. Your pains just not allowed.

My bruise times new.
My bruise times two.
My bruise times you.

You want it, you got it, you take it, you break now maybe?
You drop it, you stop it, have it and hold it now maybe?
You live well and sleep well despite all the hard sell and that's where you're going and that's all you've got.
