you bite through the big wall
the big wall bites back
you siy there and sulk sit there and bawl
you are so pretty when your on your knees
disinfected and eager to please
sometimes you sulk
sometimes you burn
god rest your soul
when the loving comes
and we’ve already gone
just like your dad
you’ll never change
each time it comes
it eats me alive
I try to behave
but it eats me alive
so I declare a holiday
fall asleep
drift away
If you hate me, why don’t you go?
And if you love me, why don’t you let me know?
But you just won’t give me an inch, so
You just sulk
Why do i want to hide whenever you show up?
You know your moods just make me want to throw up
Why don’t you just bloody well grow up?
You just sulk
All of the time,
Why don’t you pick me up or throw me a line?
All over the place,
Why don’t you tell me what you think?
Come on and tell me to my face
If you love me, why don’t you show it?
If you hate me, why don’t you let me know it?
Why don’t you just pick up something and throw it?
You just sulk
If you want to bend my arm,
Well you could do it with a little more charm,
But you just couldn’t bear to do me any harm
So you just sulk
And you tell me that you want to quit
And then you treat me like a piece of shit
And when i ask you, what’s that got to do with it?
You just sulk
Ad lib, and fade

You bite though the big wall, the big wall bites back.
You sit there and bawl, you are so pretty when you’re on your knees.
Disinfrected, eager to please.
Sometime you sulk, sometimes you burn.
God rest your soul when the loving comes.
And we’ve already gone.
Just like your dad, you’ll never change.
Each time it comes, it eats me alive.
I try to behave, but it eats me alive.
So i declere a holiday.
Fall asleep, drift away.
