Fat Children Songtext

von Jarvis Cocker

Last night I had a little altercation -
They wobbled menacingly
Beneath the yellow street-light:
It became a situation.
They wanted my brand-new phone with all the pictures of the kids and the wife.
A struggle ensued
And then fat children took my life.
Fat children took my life. Oh.

Well, some passers-by took me to the station.
The Police Force was elsewhere -
Putting bullets in some guy's head
For no particular reason.
So I died in the back of the cab
But I'll be back to haunt them.
This thing does not end here:
My spirit walks the streets of Tottenham,
Singing: fat children took my life. Oh.

Oh, the parents are the problem;
Giving birth to maggots
Without the sense to become flies.
So pander to your pampered little princess -
Of such enormous size. Oh.
