PAT THE ALMIGHTY

Oh here he comes you’d better watch your step, Pat the Almighty
Pat looks at you from the corner of his eye
Like he’s really interested in the person deep inside
A natural curiosity, an attention seeking atrocity
He likes his music indie and his hair bleached like the sand
Bleached like the sand

Oh here he comes you’d better watch your step, Pat the Almighty
Oh here he comes you’d better wash your hands, Pat the Almighty
Pat sips his drink from the corner of his eye
He’s a real smooth operator, an eco-friendly guy
He used to be a marxist but now he’s found a band
And he thinks that he’s a heathen but in fact he loves his hand
He loves his hand

The kid’s a fucking star he should be wearing gold lamè
There’ll be nothing left for no-one at the end of the day
The kid’s a fucking star he should learn to move and sway
If he’d only stay in tune we could all be on our way

Oh here he comes you’d better watch your step, Pat the Almighty
Oh here he comes you’d better watch your chords, Pat the Almighty
Pat moves in circles that keep on going round
He’s a carousel with attitude, the best ride in town
Pat taps when he’s drinking, especially when he’s thinking
He believes in getting in there, being the king of all the facts
Of all the facts

The kid’s a fucking star he should be wearing gold lamè
There’ll be nothing left for no-one at the end of the day
The kid’s a fucking star he should learn to move and sway
If he’d only stay in tune we could be all on our way

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh

Wants a jukebox in the bedroom, Coke machine in the hall
And a rake of rare guitars hanging on the wall
Gold disks in the bathroom, platinum on the door
And a pocket calculator keeping tabs on it all

The kid’s a fucking star he should be wearing gold lamè
There’ll be nothing left for no-one at the end of the day
The kid’s a fucking star he should learn to move and sway
If he’d only stay in tune we could be all on our way

Oh here he comes you’d better wash your hands, Pat the Almighty
Oh here he comes you’d better watch your step, Pat the Almighty
