Lyrics Ouch Monkeys - The Teardrop Explodes, Ross Cullum, Christopher Merrick Hughes

Ouch Monkeys

Mother, I heard you call my name, but now
They say I have to leave the village now
Please, please, don’t disappoint me with your tears
Stand proud and stay, salute me when I leave
Oh, such foolish thoughts
Tearing at the very soul
Unconfirmed reports
Fighting by the dawn patrol
Crushed in lions' jaws
Battles with the torn apart
I can fight no more
Confusion in the very heart
Heart of the actual king
As night arrives, see monkeys climb down from the trees
And who has ever seen such foolish ones as these?
The monkey quivers with its guts torn open wide
Big jungle cats surround the conquered side
Oh, such fun and games
Fire bites to burn the soul
And decorate the damned
Try to hide the poor insane
They must, but don’t fall
Games that always end in tears
your tales
In fear of the approaching years
In fear of the actual king
A trail of blood, a trail of fire lights up the night
Appending scenes of chaos caught in beams of light
I perched and, elastic world
Just plant inside
Oh, such fun and games
