I Travel in Biscuits Songtext

von John Cooper Clarke

The sound of the daylight
The smell of the urine
The rain on the drainpipes
The filthy two-two time
I should know better
How an animal feels
A real go-getter
A wolf on all wheels
White collar whizz kids
Button three mohair
I travel in biscuits
Getting me nowhere

Munchety munch
This is the punchline
Crunchety crunch
They last you a lunchtime
Who can resist it
Who can be so square
I travel in biscuits
Getting me nowhere

Can you afford it
This is the crunch
Orders are audits
A kiss or a punch
A dangerous neighborhood
Don't push it too far
I feel like i'm made of wood
I stay in the car
I had to risk it
I had to go there
I travel in biscuits
Getting me nowhere

The critical daylight
The smell of the urine
The rain on the drain pipes
The filthy two-two time
Life is precarious
A long way from home
In alien areas
Always alone
I look like a misfit
No one i know there
I travel in biscuits
Getting me nowhere

Munchety munch
This is the punchline
Crunchety crunch
They last you a lunchtime
Who can resist it
Who can be so square
I travel in biscuits
Getting me nowhere
I had to risk it
I got to go there
I travel in biscuits
Getting me nowhere
I look like a misfit
No one i know there
I travel in biscuits
Getting me nowhere
