I Remember Wonkier Times

From Intelligent Shit Music

Eighth track from V: The Meandering Notes of Men in Goats, the probable 'single', if you can call it that.

Lyrics

I've been sitting in this goat for so long
that I've forgotten what it feels like
to eat a cake or go for a hike

And I've been counting down the zuma balls
for the day I find a way out
the day somebody hears my shout


so when you look down at me and spit
when you trample on my face and throw me in a pit
when you curse my name and tell me i' deserve to be dead
please remember where I've come from instead

oh because

I remember Wonkier times
I stood proud in my goatskin
And sung about grapefruit and lime
Now look me in the eye and dont you try to deny
you dont feel a little sorry for me
the goat coated man shunned by society


Oh god knows I've done my bit for mankind
I fought a giant in the valley
I made a snow plough from nothing but twine

Oh god knows I never put a foot wrong
my only crime is a pair of horns
and full body hair thats too long


so when you look down at me and spit
when you trample on my face and throw me in a pit
when you curse my name and tell me i' deserve to be dead
please remember where I've come from instead

oh because

I remember Wonkier times
I stood proud in my goatskin
And sung about grapefruit and lime
Now look me in the eye and dont you try to deny
you dont feel a little sorry for me
left out to die in the old country
even natural disasters score better than me
the goat coated man shunned by society


I havent slept in over 800 weeks
thats pretty weak
baby, baby thats pretty weak
