lyrics

WISH UPON A CHICKEN BONE

She kissed me square on the teeth
While I was smiling and to my relief

Things happened In spite of me
Love grows like a coral reef

Hold on for long enough
And every thought that ever there was

Will cross your mind In a fork lift truck
Just looking for Baggage to pick up

CHORUS
Superstition
Suspicion
Contrition
Sanctimony
My ambition
A quick incision
And remove them all
From the dictionary

The whole truth takes a running jump
And perception morphs Into nothing but

A self fuelling dichotomy
Wraps itself round your cable TV

Can she just shrug it off
Or will it all just become too much

Love, faith, hope and trust
On a die And you can throw it twice

CHORUS
Repeat

You might wish on a chicken bone
Knock on wood hope you’ll find her home

Will and want your mobile phone
To come alive and show her face

Meanwhile back at old Methuselah’s
You drop your paunch and all pretence

Can you be as happy now as then
Decaying functions waiting round the bend

CHORUS
Repeat
