Blues Geordie Greep

[Verse 1]
You’re all grown up
You have your own stove
And your own pair of oven gloves
You have arrangements and assignations
You keep up appearances and have a reputation
You sit in the park and work on your sonnets
You talk about yourself in the past tense
You have opinions that can’t be shaken
And morals firm

[Bridge]
Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean?
Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I mean
Is your favourite turn of phrase
You know what I mean, you know what I mean
You know what I mean, you know what I mean
Is your second favourite turn of phrase

[Verse 2]
You can speak English better than anyone
And you can cursе like no one evеr has done
And you have a bigger dick than any man who’s ever lived
And you can cum more than a hundred stallions
In a room that smells of cigarettes and carrion
Under sheets freezing cold with damp
You voyage far and wide across plain and ocean
Steppe and marsh on celestial bridges
And knock down doors and climb in windows
And listen in, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
Can you hear that?
The signs of life?
Not yet awake?
The stirring, the screwing up of eyes?
A blanket that forms mountains
The valley between knee and cheek
The steep slide down to the feet
The toe poking out—be careful, don’t touch!
Have discipline, my boy; just watch—stay outside, stay outside
In the cold
Can you feel it, you can feel it, you can feel it
See? There’s a universe in this room
You scrounger of toilets and pillager of tombs
You don’t have to work because working is for schmucks
You know God will light your way
You are ready to admit to murder, to assault
To robbery, to pederasty, to fraud
You are ready to take the blame for every crime of all men
But the jury is out to lunch
