Lyrics

Kingpin on a cut back
Kingpin on a cut back
With sunken eyes

Big cheese in a bedsit
Big cheese in a bedsit
A shit disguise

Stick and move, say you want to try me
You should have left me just where you found me
See you're dreaming, thinking what it could be
You'll have to trust me, just don't believe me

Reap what you sow
Comeback kid says hello
Here, here we stand
Side by side
Don't let go of my hand

Sasquatch in a bin bag
Sasquatch in a bin bag
It's no surprise

Nosebleed in a pound shop
Nosebleed in a pound shop
Spitting flies

Stick and move, say you want to try me
You should have left me just where you found me
Say good night, I'm 'bout to hypnotise you
Here it comes, I just thought I'd warn you
