You’re My Germ

Peg's gone in, into the river
She's going deeper into the river
And she can't swim
No, she can't swim
She couldn't swim
Nil, naught, goose egg; a big one
We can't all be disabled single parents
Thanks for making that unambiguous

Just a few bad decisions, and a few bones of contention
There are people who have nothing
They live here, too

The house always wins
The house always wins
You wouldn't hear it
All from the voices in the sink
You are, you are, you are
Oh grief, I'm out of time

Wee children in this town don't like me here
Don't make sound
Some wildlife to see
Some industry, some history
Incidental salinity

Depending on your long term goals
You might just let go of the suckling babe
Well, if this is what you're working towards
Where's the food for my nines?

There are things we call our own
For some people it's a task
For some people it's a home, sure, that's fine
Countermeasure
Counteragent
Counteractant
C-c-cowboy in love

Where you sleep and eat fruit
Where you sing stupid things

(You're my germ, you're a good person)
(You're a daft apeth)
(You're a goddamn paradigm, I reckon)

Tell them I'm sorry
Tell them there's something wrong with me
Tell them I love them
Tell them I tried my best

I got up early that day and walked for a long time
Really was no problem
When I did it, I felt fine

(Never found my body)
(Never found my body)
(Please don't be sad)
(Never found my body)
(Never found my body)

Never found my body
Never found my body
Try to be proud
Never found out how people can ignore it all
