Things I Need Songtext
von Eat

These are the things that I need

Confident demands, evidence, an alibi
New shoes, aspirated, vomit, blood, Spanish Fly
L. Ron Hubbard, wasted in my cupboard
A flair for rhythm & blues
A flair for rhythm & blues
Percentage cuts, stress cards, inflation, blow me up
A well-attended cemetery, TV, an image
A fridge to store the beer
A grasp for the facts, a grasp for the facts
You know you can′t go wrong with a grasp for the facts

We got a place in a space race, home's another planet
Jetpack medication
I′m drowning in an ocean
Of calamine lotion
The science of sex, a bed of nails
Doctor Who
I love you, Doctor Who
If you think Doctor Who


Oh yeah
I'm a sport, ain't I?
Ain′t I?

Soap on a rope, faith and hope
And Larry′s words of wisdom
But when Larry speaks, you know I hate to listen (Hate to listen)
Perpetual shape, a box of matches
Expert, expert, sadist with a license
Rocks and girls, information
Future, past, best for first
An occupation, a nation, but what does it give me?
Just Roy Hurd's cheesy smile on daytime TV

Yeah!
Yeah, I′m glad he's not gone, I need protection


A beat, you know there′s nothing like a beat
To keep you on your feet
I could be the Spiderman, Harriet, Charlie Chan
Dressed in the rain
A world war three in 3-D
Agent Orange
Softpack, software, Zen and the motorbike
The motorbike
The motorbike
The motorbike
The motorbike
The motorbike
The motorbike
Zen and the motorbike

Who wants to work for the fifty years
For the ten quid cheque and the Glycerine tears?
Who wants to work for the fifty years
For the ten quid cheque and the Glycerine tears?
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me, no

That's how I like it, yeah!
I am the happy shopper
I am the happy shopper (Happy shopper)
I am the happy shopper (Happy shopper)
I am the happy shopper
I am the happy shopper
I am the things that I need
I am, I am, I am the happy
I am the happy
Am, am
I am the happy
These are the things that I need
These are the things that I need
And there′s more
Oh shit, and there's more
These are the things that I need
These are the things that I need
I am, I am
I am, I am
I am, I am
I am, I am
