Worm and the Rattlesnake

Kevin Godley, Lol Creme

[Verse 1]
I wanna take you to the Garden of Eden
Where they play Duane Eddy not Bert Weedon
Wanna mingle with the riff raff and be a rebel
So echo the bass and turn up the treble
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I wanna smoke my cigarettes in peace
I wanna brush out the parting and comb in the grease
I wanna trade my tie for studs and buckles
And tattoo your name across my knuckles
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
I wanna tell the world she belongs to me
I wanna carve the news in the bark of a tree
A cupid's heart with an arrow going through it
The stupid part is even then I knew she was wrong for me
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
I was as jealous as hell 'cause he was just a kid
And he could walk on the waltzers like Jesus did
He said, "You try it," I said, "It's a piece of cake"
But I knew he knew I was a worm not a rattlesnake
Oh yeah

[Verse 3]
The summer rolled by like a white walled tyre
Then the candy floss became barbed wire
She said, "You're different, you're not the same
You're just a Jew looking for a Christian name"
Oh yeah (Yeah yeah yeah), oh yeah (Yeah yeah yeah)
Then they chased me through a booming cage of arks
Of hissing blue Flash Gordon sparks
Where dodgems dance on clubbed iron feet
Kicking each other to death to the beat
Oh yeah

[Verse 4]
How come you still invade my dreams?
You belong in my Quiff Street fairground teens
I don't even know if she's still alive
If she is, she's probably married with five kids by now
Oh yeah
And I wonder if her husband carries a gun?
Did he throw away his life in a chicken run?
You know I think she made a big mistake
She should have fallen in love with the worm not the rattlesnake
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
