Track 15 from "This Machine Kills Bathos" LP (Disc 1), by Patrick Porter (2006)

lyrics

STEPMOTHER BLUES
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter c. 2006)

I am a tabletop
Fitted with doilies
They have screwed
My hands to the carpet
I wanna take a walk around the chopping block
On my hands and knees
Pretend I can reconsider my position

Hate me like
You hate the world
Sleeping in my stepmother
Yellow brace to break my back

I am a coffee pot
Drip hot morning
Always pissing bile into the beaker
I wanna take a walk around the chopping block
On my hands and knees
A forced return for economic reasons

Hate me like
You hate the world
Sleeping in my stepmother
Yellow brace to break my back
