Lyrics XTC – Crocodile

Crushed on landing
You may have walked out
But I’ll swallow up my fate
Scene two sitting
Man in kitchen
Bit cold and lifeless like
The burger on my plate
But there’s one emotion I’m afraid of
Hear him scratching gently to be fed
I can’t stand it when he sits there smiling
I don’t want him nesting in my head
Crocodile
No you won’t make me jealous
That she left me for him
Get away
Crocodile
No you won’t make me jealous
I’m not letting you in
Scene three lying (through his backteeth)
Speared and dying (bitten beneath)
I’ll crawl the wall to hand there
Skinned and stuffed with drink
But there’s one emotion I’m controlling
Green eyed monster with his jaws spread wide
(But he’s your pet now
You can’t run away and hide)

I can’t stand it when he sits there crying
I don’t want to throw myself inside
Crocodile
Getaway
(Crocodile
With the jaded jealous smile)
