Mr Sketchy Songtext

von Will and the People

Mr Sketchy,
I'll see you later
Glad you let me put this on paper
You creep through my soul once more
It creeps when I go door to door to door
Mr Blackthumb,
Who plays the upstrum
He is Wilson, bashed up the big drum
He's flaking,
Alienating and taking,
Commiserating.
Lay me down
Playing the clown
Coz I'm not mad
All this roughed up sleeping
And it's time
I tried to close my eyes
Which now don't half look like mine
And I've been up self seeking
But it's time
I tried to close my eyes
So I can see myself shine
Chill me out
This house is clinical
An energy vampire sucking on me
All the things I do when I'm alone
I think I'm crazy on my own
Walk around,
Back and forth
Go up and down
South then north
Ring-a-ding-ding-phone
It makes me shiver
I exercise my face in the mirror
Lay me down
Playing the clown
Coz I'm not mad
All this roughed up sleeping
And it's time
I tried to close my eyes
Which now don't half look like mine
And I've been up self seeking
But it's time
I tried to close my eyes
So I can see myself shine
It's here,
A bitter blues it sits here
I got no idea how it got here
Like stonehenge and the sun
I took home a ticket
And I never felt better
What about the time
When you said I was a traitor
I gave my last rolo to you
So
Lay me down
Playing the clown
Coz I'm not mad
All this roughed up sleeping
And it's time
I tried to close my eyes
Which now don't half look like mine
And I've been up self seeking
But it's time
I tried to close my eyes
So I can see myself shine
All this roughed up sleeping
And it's time
I tried to close my eyes
Which now don't half look like mine
And I've been up self seeking
But it's time
I tried to close my eyes
So I can see myself shine
