lyrics

Papa don’t like his view unsightly
Can’t take all this abuse so lightly
Like a man on a mission
Who doesn’t get much frisson
He shouldn’t get away scot-free

Like a scrote who’s going missing
He doesn’t get much kissing
And then he gets away scot-free
Ah-ha

[And the word for today is “Boron”]

You are the reason we can’t have nice things
You are the reason we can’t have nice things
You are the reason we can’t have nice things
You are reason, you are the reason

Papa don’t see these empty shelves
Can’t captivate the hearts themselves
Like the lollipop he’s kicking
It doesn’t get much licking
He shouldn’t get away scot-free

In an eerie situation
Stole the pulse of all the nation
To give it all away scot-free

[And the word for today is “Mange Tout”]

You are the reason we can’t have nice things
You are the reason we can’t have nice things
You are the reason we can’t have nice things
You are reason, you are the reason

[And the word for today is “Corridor”]

You are the reason we can’t have nice things
You are the reason we can’t have nice things
You are the reason we can’t have nice things
You are reason, you are the reason
