Fat Kids In Photographs Songtext / Lyric

There are people who love

Their fathers, their mothers

Their sisters, their brothers

And all of their children to death

Such casualness



Do you not know unless

You caress their bodies

As they got undressed



She smiles, shrugs off her clothes

Says that's when I know

The only thing keeping you here

Is the time that you spend

With the money they send

To keep you in love and warm beer



And the feeling comes and goes

And after all that don't you know

That you're still bound to fall

And love can kill you after all






And so when she goes

And cries at your feet

You can't help but wonder

At the deceit that you've spun

And who you've become

And where'd she go wrong

To put up with this for so long?



And when he's got time to himself

He looks for his daughter

On the pornography shelves

Of Woolworths and Boots

God they look so cute

Done up in their nude birthday suits



And the feeling comes and goes

And after all that don't you know

That you're just going to laugh

Like those fat kids in the photographs



And the feeling comes and goes

And you can mop up. Don't you know

That we're all bound to fall

And love can kill you after all?
