Loathsome Songtext
von David Shrigley

He was loathsome
He was like a big grey rat from the sewer
He had no business being on television
So I turned it off
And I looked out of the window
For an hour and a half
And then I went to bed
During the night I woke up
And I could not feel my arm
I had been sleeping with it in an awkward position
So I got up
And I walked about


And shook my arm
And I turned on the television
And that loathsome bastard was still there talking
So I made some toast
Preacher is outside the church
Cleaning blood from the steps
Earlier his congregation beat a man senseless
For being a non-believer
"I hope I don′t lose my faith"
Thinks the preacher
"And if I do
I hope the congregation doesn't find out about it"
