The Modern Leper

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've crippled your heart a hundred times
 And still can't work out why
 See, I've got this disease, I can't shake
 And I'm just rattling through life
 Well, oh, this is how we do things now
 This is how the modern stay scared
 So I cut out all the good stuff
 Yeah, I cut of 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
 I am ill but I'm not dead
 And I don't know which of those I'd prefer
 Because that limb which I have lost
 It was the only thing holding me up
 Holding me up
 I'm lying on the ground now
 And you walk in through the only door
 Well, I have lost my eyesight like I said I would
 But I still know
 That that is you in front of me
 And you are back for even more of exactly the same
 Well, are you a masochist?
 You love a modern leper on his last leg
 You're not ill and I'm not dead
 Doesn't that make us the perfect pair?
 You should sit with me and we? ll start again
 And you can tell me all about what you did today
 What you did today
