Nodding Dog

from Toynbee Tile by Dan Cooper

/

lyrics

You were my peach preserve
My perfect petal
My touchy nerve
My heavy metal

Stomach grumbles
Heart murmers
They tell me I didn’t deserve her

My nirvana
My libido
She’s cinemon sweet
I’m a cheap Cheeto

Gimbles thimbles
Fishing for root beer
At the root canal

Bailed out the dog house
But the doubt shouts round the roundabout
Won’t find truffles in this trough
Tell me to clear off
And you can chew my ear off
But I’ll still be your nodding dog

High tailed out the slaughter house
Thou shalt wear the daughters blouse
Willfully wanting never enough
Tell me to veer off, steer off
But you can’t glue this ornament
‘Cos I’ll still be your nodding dog

You were my tide to turn
My terrible chemical
Your cat got my tongue
And my stolen medals

Bed and breakfast
She burnt it
They tell me I earned it

My double denim
My pizza necklace
She’s summer freckles
I’m summed up as feckless

Grimacing timber
Kissing hers out the window
For the foreseeable future

I don’t fancy seeing the bigger picture
I’ve got demons in my boiler
They drink my dirty water
They think they’re in paradise

Mans got a thermos in the rave
We don’t act our age like we did in the old days
We’re having light bulb moments
Discussing which bulbs got the best components

Bailed out the dog house
But the doubt shouts round the roundabout
Won’t find truffles in this trough
Tell me to clear off
And you can chew my ear off
But I’ll still be your nodding dog

High tailed out the slaughter house
Thou shalt wear the daughters blouse
Willfully wanting never enough
Tell me to veer off, steer off
But you can’t glue this ornament
‘Cos I’ll still be your nodding dog
