Lyrics
Call me sad, call me misunderstood,
Call me back, I always knew you would.
You know I'm so bad, it makes me rather good
Call me dirty, you're the one to know
Does your filthy linen ever show?
Yes, I'll keep it to myself, just let me go.
And you wrap me up and you put me down,
You don't want to know when I'm around.
And you slip you in and you slip me out,
And I come up smiling.
I can dance but only when you sing,
I can make your party really swing,
'Cause you're all my little puppets on a string.
And you wrap me up and you put me down,
You don't want to know when I'm around.
And you slip you in and you slip me out,
And I come up smiling.
And you came to play just the other day,
And you like your Indian take away.
And I give you hell and you pay me well,
And I end up laughing.
I'm best when I'm forcing recompense,
Think you're in control but way past tense,
Jabber gentlemen, no longer making sense.
What a pasting you took from my hand,
Red, your glowing Times on Sunday brand,
I can make you Neill as much as I can stand.
And you wrap me up and you put me down,
You don't want to know when I'm around.
And you slip you in and you slip me out,
And I come up smiling.
And you came to play just the other day,
And you like your Indian take away.
And I give you hell and you pay me well,
And I end up laughing.
