"Senile Get" Lyrics

SENILE GET (Julian Cope – 1995)

It's True Life, but it's twice removed
Is it True Life, when it hardly moves?
And when it seeps out of its room
Yeah, it's Life, but it's hardly moved.

Get out of my way, you senile get
Get out of my way, you sniveling wreck
She's got a knife and she's
Threatening every one of us

And in my Rage
And in my Rage

I went down to the corner drugstore
I came back in a semi-rage
And downstairs beneath the kitchen table
Crying, crying sweetly
I did spy me a senile get

Get out of my way, you senile get
Get out of my way, you sniveling wreck
She's got a knife and she's
Threatening every one of us
That's what she did,

(Instrumental break)

I took her down to the
Twilight Home for the clinically insane
I did not stay
I just left her there
Screaming, screaming

I was moving house
When the doctor called
And with great compassion
He said, "We were kind of related
I have the patient sedated"
I'll leave her there
I think I'll leave her there

Get out of my way, you senile get
Get out of my way, you sniveling wreck
She's got a knife and she's
Threatening every one of us
When Life's every last gasp, has gone out of you

In my rage
And in my rage
In my rage
In my rage
In my rage
In my rage,,
