about

First released by Philip and His Foetus Vibrations in 1982 on Self Immolation

lyrics

If a person gets the cartoons wider than wide
And sits around talking 'bout the flower plateau
You talk the time and the coma’s brought you to night time
This is the bane of your life

If a person kills the snake inside their trousers
And can’t remember who killed everything inside us
If a person feels fine inside the auto drive
The riches pay the pesticide, this is the bane of our life

A face like a patchwork quilt
Made up of rashes sewn together by guilt
And if there comes a time for the third and final value
You’ll be the one to be hung, stretched, strapped and strung up

What is the bane, what is the bane of your life, tell me, what is the bane of your life - 3 x

A row of schoolboys bending under the whip
This is something that nobody likes
But if that means redemption, sisters
This is the bane of our lifes

A strange aroma of something hideous man
Believe me is not a pretty sight
Like a work man spending a sleepless night
Cause he’s put out of site
This is the bane of my life

A face like a patchwork quilt
Made up of rashes sewn together by guilt
And if there comes a time for the third and final value
You’ll be the one to be hung, stretched, strapped and strung up

What is the bane, what is the bane of your life, tell me, what is the bane of your life - 3 x

A drug and a plug, that leave their own stratum dry
It keeps on rolling in ever decreasing circles
Like an old black hole in the sky.
And take all mothers with them
As far as I’m concerned
Nothing questioned, nothing talked, nothing less
Noting given, nothing learned

A face like a patchwork quilt
Made up of rashes sewn together by guilt
And if there comes a time for the third and final value
You’ll be the one to be hung, stretched, strapped and strung up

During his stay in Sudan Omo Santana met the wonderful Nancy in Khartoum.

Now the Stock Exchange Girls are ready for adventures around the world. ... more
