lirik lagu half man half biscuit - gubba lookalikes
they come from underneath the stairs
into my room but no-one cares
they’re on the bus and on the train
they’re knocking on my window pane
oh mother, telephone the nurse
can’t you see its getting worse?
i close my eyes, yet still it seems
everybody in my dreams
gubba lookalikes
gubba lookalikes
i wake up screaming in the hall
i didn’t mean to wake at all
i run and lock the bathroom door
turn on the taps and out they pour
through all the villages and towns
a thousand sandy-coloured clowns
i try and escape down private drives
and then i reach for readers’ wives
gubba lookalikes
gubba lookalikes
[spoken]
in order to fling off this curse
i spend all day drinking in divers
taverns with smarmy acrobats and balding senators
but after a while they too adopt the likeness
and begin to breed like town pigs.
as a drunken lump i fall into a state of blissful unconsciousness
but the moment is fleeting
and i awake once more in despair
and in my final agonies, believe myself lost.
gubba lookalikes
gubba lookalikes
in every building, every play
on every public right of way
on every flag i see unfurled
in all the grounds in all the world
on one-armed bandits in the bar
in the back of every car
and even on my dying day
they’ll refuse to go away
though i walk among the light
something somewhere won’t be right
while as once my uncle keith
says “there’ll never be relief”
it will go on and on and on and on and on…
gubba lookalikes
