Wanna Cocktail Hate Tale (Riley)

Appears on:
 Fancy Meeting God

Marc Riley - Guitar, Organ
Pete Keogh - Bass
Paul Fletcher - Guitar
Eddie Fenn - Drums

Everyone hates a traffic warden even those without a car
Everyone hates a charity worker in the home of the cocktail bar

Talk to an old man at 25 and he'll tell you what he's heard
But question his motives and meaning will he stand by his word?

To be a man of real worth and a man of wit and words
He must stand by his subjects and objects not cower in the dirt

Did you know if every Chinese person in the world went for a drink
It wouldn't be nice

Everyone hates a traffic warden even those without a car
Everyone hates a charity worker in the home of the cocktail bar

Everyone hates Melvyn Bragg even those with a nasal whine
Everybody hates Bob Monkhouse, the home of tearjerk slime

Everyone hates Jockey Carson the too-good ... or after being a pygmy person from the fall of '64

As the voyeur serves of how to learn to sweep off dandruff first
Or to make mistakes are not written
I chose the former

Well I made more fucking mistakes
Well that's nice innit
