Pulp Lyrics
"I Spy"

I spy a boy
And I spy a girl
I spy the worst place
In the world
In your whole wide world
Oh you didn't do bad
You made it out
I'm still stuck here
Oh but I'll get out
Oh yeah, I'll get out

Cant you see a giant walks among you
seeing through your petty lives?
Do you think I do these things for real?
I do these things just so I survive
And you know I will survive
It may look to the untrained eye
I'm sitting on my arse all day
I'm biding time until I take you all
My lords and ladies, I will prevail, I cannot fail
Coz I spy!

Oh I've got your number, taken notes
I know the ways your minds work I have studied
And your minds are just the same as mine
Except that you are clever swines
You never let your masks slip
You never admit to it
Youre never hurried
Oh no no no
And every night I hold my plan
How I will get my satisfaction
How I will blow your paradise away
Away
Away.... Coz I spy!

And it's just like in the old days
I used to compose my own critical notices in my head
The crowd gasp at Cocker's masterful control of the bicycle,
skilfully avoiding the dog turd next to the corner shop
Imagining a blue plaque
above the place I first ever touched a girl's chest
But hold on, you've got to wait for the best
You see you should take me seriously
Very seriously indeed
Cause I've been sleeping with your wife
for the past sixteen weeks
Smoking your cigarettes
Drinking your brandy
Messing up the bed that you chose together
And in all that time I just wanted you
to come home unexpectedly one afternoon
and catch us at it in the front room

You see I spy for a living
And I specialize in revenge
On taking the things I know will cause you pain
I can't help it, I was dragged up
My favorite parks are car parks
Grass is something you smoke
Birds are something you shag
Take your "Year in Provence"
and shove it up your arse

Your Ladbroke Grove looks turn me on, Yeah

With roach burns in designer dresses
Skin stretched tight over high cheek-bones
And thousands of tiny dryness lines
Beating a path to the corners of your eyes
And every night I hatch my plan,
It's not a case of woman v. man
It's more a case of haves against haven'ts
And I just happen to have got what you need
Just exactly what you need, yeah
La la la la la la la la la la
In the midnight hour
La la la la la la la la la la
I will come to you
I will come to you
I will take you from this sickness
Dinner parties and champagne
I'll hold your body and make it sing again
Come on sing again
Let's sing again, oh yeah
Cos I spy!
yes I spy

I spy a boy
And I spy a girl
I spy the chance
To change the world
To change your world
