lyrics

the girl whos fingers got stuck in her ears

My mind is full of nasty things
hiding from the world
my mother chased them in there
when I was a little girl
theyve lived in there so long
theyve interbred with my brain cells
ii dont know why she left them there
cos I'm not a naughty girl

I got my index fingers
& poked them in my ears
to push the nasties out
& make my head all clear
but the nasties grabbed them tightly
wouldnt let me pull them away
so dont tell me that im bad
cos I cant hear a word you say

now mum has to feed me
& help me change my clothes
mum can you come quickly
you need to blow my nose
if only you hadnt called me
all those awful names
mum you are so silly
you only got yourself to blame

I wish my mind was full of lovely things
the loveliest in the world
like perfume & expensive clothes
makeup, jewellery, pearls
I would be so happy
if they befriended my brain cells
my fingers might slip out
& I might be a lovely girl
