Crocodile Lyrics by XTC

Nonsuch

1992

Crocodile
No, you won't make me jealous
That she left me for him

Scene one standing
Crushed on landing
You may have walked out
But I'll swallow up my fate

Scene two sitting
Man in kitchen
Bit and cold lifeless
Like the burger on my plate

But there's one emotion I'm afraid of
Hear him scratching gently to be fed
I can't stand it when he sits there smiling
I don't want him nesting in my head

Crocodile
No, you won't make me jealous
That she left me for him
So get away

Crocodile
No, you won't make me jealous
I'm not letting you in

Scene three lying (through his backteeth)
Speared and dying (bitten beneath)
I'll crawl the wall to hand there
Skinned and stuffed with drink

But there's one emotion I'm controlling
Green eyed monster with his jaws spread wide
(But he's your pet now)
I can't stand it when he sits there crying
(You can't run away and hide)
I don't want to throw myself inside

Crocodile
No, you won't make me jealous
That she left me for him
Get away

Crocodile
No, you won't make me jealous
I'm not letting you in
So get away

Crocodile with the jaded, jealous smile
Crocodile with the jaded, jealous smile
Crocodile with the jaded, jealous smile
Crocodile with the jaded, jealous smile
