Housemartins, The - I Can't Put My Finger On It Lyrics






As Martin said to Xanthe
As they played with wooden toys
You may have Wendy's playhouse
But where the heel's your boys?
As Paul said to Fifi
As they eyed each other up
You may have better plimsoles
But you can't pee standing up

And I'd like to take the time to bite
Their neck and make it bleed
Or maybe I could cut holes in their
Daddy's Harris tweed

And I can't put my finger on it
Maybe it's something in their food
And I can't put my finger on it
All I know is Christ would've sued

As Sharon said to Jamie
As they sat down for a chat
If you think I'm cooking dinner
Well, prepare to eat dead rat

As Debbie said to Alex
As they held hands in the park
How come you wear Rupert check
When you think you're so hard

I should've done his land rover
To let him know I'd been
Instead I wrote f' off
On the dirt across his screen

And I can't put my finger on it
Maybe it's something in their food
And I can't put my finger on it
All I know is Christ would've sued

I wish I'd let them know that I was here
A drop of arsenic in the wine
Sulphuric acid in the beer

    The Housemartins
    As martin said to xanthe
    As they played with wooden toys
    "you may have wendy's playhouse
    But where the hell's your boys? "
    As paul said to fifi
    As they eyed each other up
    "you may have better plimsoles
    But you can't pee standing up"
    And I'd like to take the time to bite
    Their neck and make it bleed
    Or maybe I could cut holes in their
    Daddy's harris tweed
    And I can't put my finger on it
    Maybe it's something in their food
    And I cna't put my finger on it
    All I know is christ would've sued
    As sharon said to jamie
    As they sat down for a chat
    "if you think I'm cooking dinner
    Well, prepare to eat dead rat"
    As debbie said to alex
    As they held hands in the park
    "how come you wear rupert check
    When you think you're so hard"
    I should've done his land rover
    To let him know I'd been
    Instead I wrote "f' off"
    On the dirt across his screen
    And I can't put my finger on it
    Maybe it's something in their food
    And I cna't put my finger on it
    All I know is christ would've sued
    I wish I'd let them know that I was here
    A drop of arsenic in the wine
    Sulphuric acid in the beer
