Rating Animals By Style

from Lovin' The Time Of Collar, Huh? by Rob Britton

/

about

A true story about repetition.

lyrics

By the back wall
Above the skirting
Where the curtain
Bleeds the sun

A reminder
Of the battle
We couldn't lose
But we never won

Now there's nothing
But this marking
And confusion
What have we done?

You don't remember
I don't believe you
Another loss then
We've never won

Every time I go away
Animals just block my way

And as the curtain calls
I'm climbing up the walls
I'm rating animals
And as the curtain falls
I'm clawing at the walls
I'm rating animals by style

Is this all then?
Apartment broken
With a promise
But never fun

Lit by computer
I cannot help her
But I get the
Dishes done

There was a kid who
Tried to tell me
That the city
Would get it done

But he got older
And the light dimmed
And all his watches
Have ceased to run

Every time I go away
Animals just block the way

And as the curtain calls
I'm climbing up the walls
I'm rating animals
And as the curtain falls
I'm clawing at the walls
I'm rating animals
And as the curtain calls
I'm climbing up the walls
I'm rating animals
And as the curtain falls
I'm clawing at the walls
I'm rating animals by style

And in the end I
(Oh are you leaving?)
Made it past them
(Then take the ceiling)
Scrubbed the skirting
(Or take the window)
And now I'm gone
(Go on, run)

Lock the windows
(Cos I'm still breathing)
Pull the latches
(I'm still seeing)
Let the air out
(Animals here)
Panic done
(You're never done)

Just can't stop making albums, it seems! I am also in Luxembourg, Menaces, Laverne and Keith Top of the Pops and his Minor UK Indie Celebrity All-Star Backing Band, so go and look at their pages. They're good!
