Watch That Grandad Go

Bauhaus

I'm sitting tight 
I'm holding still 
The flowers bite 
The cobweb's still 
We walk in file 
We stand in line 
The drug is in 
And we (did not)

Since you've been so lonely 
Pain will cease to tease you 
Scars may not be ugly 
A doll's leg fits around you 

Why is everybody burning sky 
Misfit plug and chicken pie 
Walk in file and dance in line 
Straightedge tango sequins shine 

The ground is steady 
The stiff is stiff 
The cobweb's torn 
The tide is tired 
You're so alone 
You're so awake 
You wish you'd never been awake 

The knock goes off and the knock goes out 
The city spills 
There's a (lover who screams)
The sickness fills 
When the night gets tough 
You wish you'd never been so so so skinny 

(walk in line dance in file) 

Sicking all night and working all day 
Spin with fright when you're finding no way 
And the drums get dark in night or day 
Sicking all night and working all day 

See my grandad go... 

(walk in line dance in file) 

Walk and dance in single file 
Right up to the bread in here 
Couldn't find the bread in there 

We couldn't find the bread 
And we couldn't find the heart 
And we worked so hard 
We worked so heartbeat 

If I look up there 
If I look a fool 
If I look up there 
If I look a fool 

Jack went up the 
Jack came down the 
Jack and Jill 
Went up the hill 
Jack came flying down the still 
Jack what're you doing Jack? 
I don't know - I'm back! 
Oh no! 

I told you not to put on those trousers 
Don't put on the trousers, don't put on the trousers 
Your dress is too starched 
It's too starched 

You got a high class face today 
You ought to have used nailpolish 

Lights out fast and sleep at night 
Lights out fast and sleep at night 
Turn the light out 
Get into bed 
Cover yourself up 
Your head 
Your head 
Your head 
Your head!
