Hung On A Wire Lyrics by The Bevis Frond

Focus on Nature

2024

Impotent, celibate, anyone care?
You drain out the fluid & you fill it with air
Fully inflated and ready for use
You work like a dream but your rivets are loose
I can't help it, I'm not young
I burn in the cold & I freeze in the sun
Will you fix me a drink & give me something to eat
I'm sick & unsteady and dead on my feet
Can you help me, can you tell me, where I go to now
I'm waiting, stagnating, can you help me down
I'm not t-shirt, or a yoke skirt, or an old ball gown
Can't run from the factory fire
They got me hung on a wire
Well, I got to admit you got a real good act
You proved everyone wrong
And the gigs are packed
You're getting proper reviews
You behave like a star
I find it hard to believe
That you made it this far
You got celebrity fans & the transit's sold
You don't carry your gear through the rain & cold
You got the whole top floor of a hip hotel
And you don't have to worry if the merch don't sell
Well, that's showbiz, tell me what is
Well just watch me move
They adore me, they applaud me
It's a prayer come true
When you see me, you want to be me
But you'll still be you
You're high, but they're pulling you higher
They got you hung on a wire
If you take your buddies along for the ride
They can help you rebuild
When the walls subside
You got brickies & roofers & statisticians
But one of these days they're gonna die or split
They're gonna get fed up with your constant shit
You're gonna wake up one morning and be like me
An overgrown kitten stuck up a tree
And when you cry out, you're gonna
Find out that you're out of luck
There's no mattress, no airbag, and no fire truck
And those near you, they don't hear you
They don't give a fuck
We're meat waiting for a buyer
They got us hung on a wire
