How I Wrote Elastic Man |
| I’m eternally grateful |
| To my past influences |
| But they will not free me |
| I am not diseased |
| All the people ask me |
| How I wrote «Elastic Man» |
| Life should be full of strangeness |
| Like a rich painting |
| But it gets worse day by day |
| I’m a potential DJ |
| A creeping wreck |
| A mental wretch |
| Everybody asks me |
| How I wrote «Elastic Man» |
| His soul hurts though it’s well filled up |
| The praise received is mentally sent back |
| Or taken apart |
| The Observer magazine just about sums him up |
| E.g. |
| self-satisfied, smug |
| I’m living a fake |
| People say, «You are entitled to and great.» |
| But I haven’t wrote for 90 days |
| I’ll get a good deal and I’ll go away |
| Away from the empty brains that ask |
| How I wrote «Elastic Man» |
| His last work was «Space Mystery» in the Daily Mail |
| An article in Leather Thighs |
| The only thing real is waking and rubbing your eyes |
| So I’m resigned to bed |
| I keep bottles and comics stuffed by its head |
| Fuck it, let the beard grow |
| I’m too tired |
| I’ll do it tomorrow |
| The fridge is sparse |
| But in the town |
| They’ll stop me in the shops |
| Verily they’ll track me down |
| Touch my shoulder and ignore my dumb mission |
| And sick red faced smile |
| And they will ask me |
| And they will ask me |
| How I wrote «Elastic Man» |
