anyone picking up the lyrics to this great song? I'm specifically wondering if 'toes on the mental border' is what's being said.

and how taboo is it to ask about lyrics?

is that the one they wrote in under an hour? [edit: ah yes, for BBC Radio Wales]

I love that song. trying to recall how it goes. has a 'march' pace to it?

so presumably the song - as B-side on Adeadenemyalwayssmellsgood single - is the live track not 'studio recorded/produced/mixed'?

the song has just emerged in my head - I thought it sounded like a nursery rhyme... appears to be lifted/inspired by "what shall we do with the drunken sailor?" - but more punchy, less 'sing-songy'. I think it's a fantastic song, the pace makes it.

not heard this song in over a year...

lyrics along the lines of:

What can we do with the terrible lies, now that they never made bail?
What can we do with their terrible skin-care regime now the banks have fallen.

This is the best I could come up with:

What will we do with the favourite sons?
Now that they’ll never make bail.
What can we save for the petulant souls?
Now that the gisms are saved.

What should we do? … (high squeaky voice)… change of heart.
What will we do with the favourite sons? Now that we need them.

Toes from the mental border. (my best guess, and yours)

What will we do with the miserable lives?
Now that the collars won’t fit.
What can be said for the terrible (?)
Crazy now, the night is falling.

What should we do? … (high squeaky voice)… change of heart.
What will we do with the miserable lives? Now that we need them.

Toes from the mental border.

*wipes tea from monitor*
Good lord! Gisms?

I think it's gizzards.
