The clock ticks, I'm sitting in my chair, The steam grows, I can't help but stare. There is a perculiar smell wafting through the air. I came round for dinner at your house, Your mum stood cooking in her blouse, I sat at the table, quiet as a mouse.
I'm a man of many tastes, Won't let the good stuff go to waste. I'll always try my best, Can't swallow what I detest.
Then I got home from work at nine, It was a satisfying day, it was fine (?), But then his life stopped, (?) He sits down to die. Supper time, my hands start to shake, Is this really my fate? I can't believe what I'm seeing on my plate.
I'm a man of many tastes, Won't let the good stuff go to waste. I'll always try my best, Can't swallow what I detest. (x2)
Do you think that I'm insane? Give me a kiss, Lorraine. (?) I'll say "no thank-you, ma'am, I'll have bread and jam, Red meat is overcooked, I guess I'll huddle in the serviette (?) That reeks, the cheese, it smells like feet, I don't wanna die after I eat."
I'm a man of many tastes, Won't let the good stuff go to waste. I'll always try my best, Can't swallow what I detest. (x3)
