Lyrics
Domestic Animal
He's crawling from the bathroom
He's sinking in the carpet
He's looking out the window
Wishing that he could get outsideChorus:
He's got a vague feeling that it could have been important
He's got a vague feeling that it could have been allIn the springtime cats have sex
In the springtime rats have sex
In the springtime fish have sex
But Our domestic animal stays very good indeedHe won't make an exhibition
He won't watch your television
He won't drink your new French wine
And he won't steal your convertible razorblades
And he won't care about the stuff you eat
Because he hasn't got time
He's still considering
Still consideringChorus
Happy animal in the spring
Happy animal in the spring
Domestic animal in the spring

Distressed Gentlefolk
We were deeply confused young men when we made this record. Max, Jones and I had all been drinking dangerously for over a year now. Generally, we had it down in concert. In just about every other department, however, we were coming to bits, individually and collectively, and to me this record actually shows the morbid state of things at the time.
The Wasted Years
Featuring ‘Bath Of Bacon’, ‘A Scandal In Bohemia’, ‘Sex And Travel’ and ‘Distressed Gentlefolk’.
