lyrics

Formica

Look at me I’m very happy
Watching my square box T V
Eating my square box TV dinner
In my rabbit hutch house
On a Brookside street
I twitch my nets at the neighbours
They twitch their nets back at me
I wonder what the milkman could be doing
To the woman
At number 23.

I bought new white kitchen worktops
I’ve wanted them all of my life
My wife she managed to damage them
So I carved her up with a knife
You can blame violence on drugs or the telly
You can blame it on just what you like
I know it’s because formica
Is beautiful and shiny and white.

I buried my wife in the garden
My neighbours think that she left me
They don’t know I am a nutter
Capable of murder
In the first degree
I killed her cos I didn’t like her
I traded her in for formica
It doesn’t nag
It doesn’t refuse to shag
And it’s beautifully wipe clean and whiter.

I love it here in suburbia
Nobody here questions me
I go to church every Sunday
And I’ve got the cleanest car on the street
So I think I’ll lie low here in suburbia
In my rabbit hutch house hat I’ve bought
And hope nobody digs up the garden
Cos it’ll never stand up in the court
When I say…

I killed her cos I didn’t like her
I traded her in for formica
It doesn’t nag
It doesn’t refuse to shag
And it’s beautifully wipe clean and whiter.
