Bottlenose

from Bottlenose (Single) by Laurie Shaw

lyrics

Helen of Troy sits comfortably in the passenger seat
With the British numberplate
It reads: W Z V - 1 6 2
Did I step up the plate, step up to the plate for you?
Oh Helen what do you know of this world?
(I know nothing)
My brief stint in the wilderness wasn't dull
I found a sword and I followed the torch light to trouble

Yes Yes

Bates’ Paradise
Lethargic lips tip the glasses
With Robert Fripp style guitar lines
Ladies Of The Road
Really ugly references
Something feels finished, something feels done
It’s not the kettle, it’s not the scum

Oh Helen, what do you know of this world?
(I know nothing)
You changed form in the room with the second floor
"Earth customs" in early computing display

I found your double upstairs
She was carrying THREE PINTS AT ONCE
She was living in the suit of a dead woman
She was swimming in the vase at the table
Alright, really loopy loopy loo
Lucy Lucy Lucy on the emergency mush
I pulled up a seat and it turned into a dolphin
Dolphins are rubbish
Dolphins are rubbish,
Get their noses stuck in the bottle

Helen’s nose is trapped in the bottle
Look!
Lucy’s nose is trapped in the bottle
Like a dolphin
If you’re a mammal then get on land!
Like a dolphin

Helen’s nose is trapped in the bottle
Lucy’s nose is trapped in the bottle
I put my nose - - - I trapped it in a bottle
Bottlenose
Bottlenose
Bottle knows what I’m talking about
Bottlenose , bottlenose
Bottle knows what I’m talking about
