Lyrics:
You'll be sorry when the sun has roasted you to
Lobster red, nothing said
When yellow has turned green to brown, divide by four
Multiply by nine, describe your divisions, anatomical derision
Lobster head and lobster feet
On arriving with a third language
Tucked into your brief case, next to your toothbrush
Along with a copy of the Nouvelle Observateure
While your sons and daughters who registered naught
Under intensive electronic scanning
You regard your body with regard to events
With which nothing planned
Never lacked a sense of theatre
On returning with the tab you've gained
A head of world service, the best of your culture
An evening of fun in the metropolis of your dream

  • When people refer to the "most underrated band" they refer to the Wire...

  • @sidgenocid hell yeah, man. it's sickly amazing how underrated they are taking they are fucking amazing. Underrated, overlooked, you name it, they've gone through it all, but they are still making music cause it's what they care about the most. It's anybody's loss who doesn't know about them.

  • Help me in Hell -NIN is what it reminds me of.Not the 'same' but it does at first.

  • my god that's beautiful

  • Ahhh bliss found it any song with the line never lacked a sense of theatre is wonderful...Wire were simply one of the greatest bands in history

  • I will be partial but Wire; Monochrome Set, and XTC are the lost treasures of pop culture.. they should be studied in seminars in Universities at leas,t now that we lost hope this is the music we would love to dance in the streets

  • I have this thing with Wire' s song titles...I remember a riff, a song and then I have to go through all their stuff to hear the song I had in mind. Sometimes they keep me busy for hours, and I like it...

  • I always loved the way Colin practically spit out his lyrics.
