I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I feel it coming on again
Just like it did before
They feed your pride with boredom
And they lead you on to war
The way you treat each other
Really makes me feel ill
Cause if you want to fight
Then you're just dying to get killed
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
A pox upon the media
And everything you read
They tell you your opinions
And they're very good indeed
I wanna destroy you
And when I have destroyed you
I'll come picking at your bone
And you won't have a single atom left
To call your own
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you

Old Pervert

I'm an old pervert and I hang around under the bridge
I'm an old pervert and I hang around under the bridge
I won't do you no harm, I just wanna show what's in my fridge
So come on little girl, is your name Hester or maybe it's Midge?
Well, they say that I'm weird and disinfectant is the only thing I drink
They say that I'm weird and disinfectant is the only thing I drink
Ah, but cleanliness of the soul is more important, don't you think?
And I could show you one or two things right there in my sink
So come on baby
I'm an old pervert and I just don't get around much anymore
I'm an old pervert and I don't get around much anymore
Sometimes I feel it evaporating through the door
But come on pretty baby and I show you how I let you score
Ha ha ha ha
Yeah, baby

Kingdom of Love

In the spiritual kingdom of love
You're the one that I'm thinking of
Yeah, in the spiritual kingdom of love
You've been laying eggs under my skin
Now they're hatching out under my chin
Now there's tiny insects showing through
Ann all them tiny insects look like you
In the primitive jungle of love
It's funny what you're capable of
Yeah, in the primitive jungle of love
Ah, the way you look and all the things you said
If look could kill then baby I'd be dead
Either someone's cloned you and you aren't
Or you've grown out of me just like a plant
Ain't no way I'm gonna be anything I oughtta to be
All I want to do is be your creature
Ain't no way I'm gonna be anything I want to be
All I want to do is be your teacher
In the physical kingdom of time
I guess that your dish is full of slime
Well, in the physical kingdom of time
You know, I would ramble all through time and space
Just to have a duchess lick at your face
You're the one I love or so it seems
Because you've confiscated all my dreams
Yeah

In leather shoes
I get the blues
So I walk the streets
In my plastic feet
And my blue velvet trousers make me feel pink
There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
In my paisley shirt I look a jerk
And my turquoise waistcoat is quite outta sight
But oh, woah, my haircut looks so bad
Vegetable man, where are you?
So I change my hair
And I buy my jeans
And I cover them up with a lettuce cup
My pants and socks with water and epoxy
Don't take long about my old socks
We'll wash my watch with a plant base, outta date,
In a little hole there all alone
It's what I got
It's what I wear
It's what you see
It must be me
It's what I am
Vegetable man
Ah-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-oh
I've been looking all over the place for a place for me
But it ain't anywhere
It just ain't anywhere
Vegetable man
Vegetable man
Vegetable man
Vegetable man
Vegetable man
Vegetable man
Vegetable, vegetable man
Vegetable man
He's the kind of fellow you've just got to see if you can
Vegetable man

Strange

And I go downstairs the candle throws a shadow over me
And when I get downstairs I pass the place she always used to be
And it's strange how no one else can see
Strange, no one else but me
And when I kiss her mouth I raise the lid and lower it again
And when I kiss her mouth I never cry, I'm just like other men
But it's strange how no one else can see
Strange, no one else but me
And so she lies there in the freezer looking elegant and tall
Oh, she could lie there for a century and never change at all
And it's strange, how no one else can see
Strange, no one else but me
No one else but me
