Is That A Line? Songtext

Just being here is all I attempt
You could maybe say
I'm conducting a sociological survey
I ain't ripped off or sucked in
On a neater kind of holiday
Can anybody tell me,
Who is the grand poobah around here?
There's many people under impressions
I've wanted to know all year
A person i know is a pornographic philosopher
She's a dirty joke from one end
Of the town to the other
I think there must be some mistake here
She's younger than me
Yet older than my mother
I can't decide if this is lively or lugubrious
But I ain't gonna start thinkin' about it
Cos loose lips sink loose ships
Pacemakers molest loose hips
Personally I can do without it But when the asterisk takes over
Is when you should worry
But never revive your process in pain
Cos who knows - in a week or two
You may wish you hadn't and make a trip down
Memory lane
Now i can't decide
If it's viscereal or visceral
I've heard of people who are in no hurry
People who are like a dodgy curry
Even more people who don't wanna worry
Who get in a flurry
Say they're sorry/ don't say there sorry
Don't you call it a "corrie"?
Here comes a line

Is that a line?
For every cloud that has a silver line
You'll find one that has decided to lead a life of crime
Wito will dust off the career of a weather-eater
In his prime
IS THAT A LINE?
When there seems to be no obstacles in the way
when I ask if my human objects ok
when feel a neater feeling than you feel
IS THAT A LINE? IS THAT A LINE?
Would you please appease my pleas
Or peas pudding peas and plum pudding please
I know frozen food doesn't grow on trees
IS THAT A LINE?
if I offer you a better deal
If I polish up some rods of shiny steel
If one make out one knows how another one feels
IS THAT A LINE?
Person can't keep down person's bile
when person realizes calm down for a while
IS THAT A LINE?
darling any day you'll get my vote
darling I just love you for your new fur coat
or is that your hairy shoulders
you could just about part your spine
IS THAT A LINE.. IS THIS A LINE
IS THAT A LINE

Not so much hitting as missing
See you at the next bout of pretend kissing
One spreads ones spit around too much
Bye bye saliva-keep in touch
IS THAT A LINE
Beware of these danger spots
The place where old mattresses go to rot
The trouble with old actresses is
That they're always got
The same old plots
I know your line - I know your lines
IS THAT A LINE
IS THAT A LINE?
