lyrics

She showed up at her psychiatrist
She blew her nose, and he looked delighted
The tumours spilled out into her handkerchief
The good doctor lit his pipe and grinned
‘Cause everybody knows her paranoia
was solely cause by a trans-dimensional shift
She files her teeth down for all of her boy-friends
and everybody calls her Mean Old Missus Schmidt
She can’t stand romantic melodies
She don’t get, where she fits in
She just bolts and shudders miserably
Mister, mister! Try again

Don’t linger long by the cemetery
You can’t be sure where all those hands have been
Don’t let the boys help with that load you’re carrying
Gallantry’s dead, and what’s more it’s a sin
Take it as it comes and choke it down
Take it as it comes and choke it down
Take it like a lover and choke it down
Take it as it comes and choke it down
She can’t stand romantic melodies
She don’t get where she fits in
She just bolts and shudders miserably
Mister, mister! Try again…
