Wild Beasts Cheerio Chaps, Cheerio Goodbye song lyrics

Sour metal smells in a lonely barrel

don't render me the sorriest parody...

Potty gobbed fickle mob clamour for climax

don't render me the sorriest parody...

Be blasted or be lambasted instead

don't render me the sorriest parody...

Cheerio chaps, cheerio goodbye

Cheerio chaps, even cheer me if I die

For me snivellin', for me sufferin', for me constant cowerin'

I get this...

My pain played back, like crude happy slap, and for the laff

I get this...

Another cosmos, beneath the big top, when I belly flop

I get this...

no not hugged or hand shook

just left bereft, well walloped, wanting to have warwhoopfully have wept

So I gloat with, with gritted grin

To cheat my chin into keeping the womanly wibbling in

Cheerio chaps, cheerio goodbye

Cheerio chaps, even cheer me if I die

For me snivellin', for me sufferin', for me constant cowerin'

I get this...

My pain played back, like crude happy slap, and for the laff

I get this...

Another cosmos, beneath the big top, when I belly flop

I get this...

a requiem in a circus tent...
