I spy a boy
I spy a girl.
I spy the worst place in the world
In the whole world
Oh you didn't do bad
You made it out
I'm still stuck here
Oh but I'll get out
Oh yeah I'll get out...


Can't you see a dragon walks among you seeing through your petty lives?
Do you think I do these things for real? I do these things just so I survive.
And you know I will survive
It may look to the untrained eye
I'm sitting on my arse all day
But I'm biding time until I take you all on
My Lords and Ladies,
I will prevail
I cannot fail
Cause I spy

Oh I've got your numbers taken notes and all the ways your minds work I have studied
And your mind's just the same as mine except that you're clever swines
You never let your masks slip, you never admit to it, you're never hurried.
Oh no no no.
And every night I hold my plan how I'll get my satisfaction
How I will blow your paradise away
Away
Away
Cause I spy.

It's just like in the old days - I used to compose my own critical notices in my head.
The crowd gasps at Cocker's masterful control of the bicycle
Skilfully avoiding the dog turd next to the corner shop.
Imagining a blue plaque above the place I first ever felt a girl's breasts,
But hold on...
You've got to wait for the best

You see you should take me seriously.
Very seriously indeed
Cause I've been sleeping with your wife for the past sixteen weeks
Smoking your cigarettes
Drinking your brandy
Messing up the bed you chose together
And in all that time I just wanted you to come home unexpectedly one afternoon
And catch us at it in the front room.

You see I spy for a living and I specialise in revenge
I'm taking the things I know will cause you pain.

I can't help it, I was dragged up
My favourite park's a car park
Grass is something you smoke
Birds is something you shag
Take your year in Provence and shove it up your arse

Your Ladbroke Grove looks turn me on, yeah.
With roach burns in designer dresses
Skin stretched tight over high cheekbones
And thousands of tiny dryness lines beating a path
Beating a path to the corner of your eyes

And every night I hatch my plan
It's not a case of woman v man.
It's more a case of haves against haven'ts
And I just happen to have got what you need,
Just exactly what you need!

In the midnight hour
I will come to you
I will take you from this sickness, dinner parties and champagne
I'll hold your body and make it sing again.
come on - sing again,
let's sing again.....
'Cause I spy

I spy a boy and I spy a girl.
I spy the chance to change the world
To change your world....

Just little things -

and all the ways your minds work I have studied

"I know the way your minds work, I've studied."

And your mind's just the same as mine except that you're just clever swines

"Except that you are clever swines."

I never could work out that Lords and Ladies line either, but with the lyrics there, you can understand it. Bloody Jarvis should enunciate better! ;-)

Mmmm, revenge.

Nup. As you said...Enunciation. He does sing "and all the ways your minds work"

Trust me :) I've played this a lot more than you have :P (and have better quality audio equipment.)

I don't know why the fuck I put Just in that second line. He doesn't sing "you are" just "You're clever swines" I blame the fact that I was doing it from memory on an hours sleep with fifteen fuckin' things going on in the background...daft co-workers not knowing about power rails on a server *grumbles irritatedly*
