Lyrics

A cripple walks amongst you, all you tired human beings
 He's got all the things a cripple has not, two working arms and legs
 And vital parts fall from his system and dissolve in Scottish rain
 Vitally, he doesn't miss them, he's too fucked up to care
 Is that you in front of me?
 Coming back for even more of exactly the same
 You must be a masochist
 To love a modern leper on his last leg, on his last leg
 ♪
 I crippled your heart a hundred times and still can't work out why
 You see, I've got this disease, I can't shake and I'm just rattling through life
 Well, this is how we do things now, yeah, this is how the modern stay scared
 So, I cut out all the good stuff, yeah, I cut off my foot to spite my leg
 Is that you in front of me?
 Coming back for even more of exactly the same
 You must be a masochist
 To love a modern leper on his last leg
 Well, I am ill but I'm not dead and I don't know which of those I prefer
 Because that limb which I have lost, it was the only thing holding me up, holding me up
 Well, I'm lying on the ground now and you're walking through the only door
 Well, I have lost my eyesight like I said I would, but I still know
 Oh that is you in front of me
 And you are back for even more of exactly the same
 Well, are you a masochist?
 To love a modern leper on his last leg
 And you're not ill and I'm not dead
 Doesn't that make us the perfect pair?
 Just you and me, we'll start again
 And you can tell me all about what you did today
 What you did today
