Graham Parker & The Rumour - Coathangers lyrics
rate meLET’S GO BACK TO A TIME IN PREHISTORY
WHEN THE WOMEN WALKED OUT TO THE BUSH
WITH A STICK FROM A TREE
WHEN THE MEN SAT AROUND IN THE SAND
AND THE MUD AND THE SOD
WHEN THEY STARED AT THE WILD STARS
AND INVENTED GOD
THE SAME DARK FORCES OPERATE
HERE AND NOW TODAY
THE REPTILIAN BRAIN CREEPS FORWARD
AND COMES OUT TO PLAY
ALWAYS ON THE PROWL READY TO
STRIP YOUR RIGHTS AWAY
TO SEND YOU BACK TO THE BACK ALLEY
BACK TO A DARKER DAY
HERE COME THE WRECKING CREW
SWINGING THEIR HAMMERS
COME ON GIRLS GET YOUR COATHANGERS
THE ANCIENTS ARE COMING BY CAMEL OR LIMOUSINE
TO CRIMINALIZE YOUR BODY AND CALL IT OBSCENE
WORKING THROUGH THE RANKS RIGHT UP
TO THE HIGHEST COURT
COS GETTING KNOCKED UP BY YOUR DADDY THAT’S ALL YOUR FAULT
HERE COME THE JUDGES SWING THEIR HAMMERS
COME ON GIRLS GET YOUR COAT HANGERS
COME ON GIRLS X4
GET YOUR COATHANGERS
COME ON GIRLS X2
GET YOUR COATHANGERS
QUOTING LEVITICUS GENESIS AND DEUTERONOMY
IN THE WORLD OF THE BLIND
THE ONE EYED MAN CAN SEE
ON THE PLANET OF THE MUTE
THE TWO EARED MAN IS FREE
IN THE HALLS OF THE KING
THEY CALL THIS A MYSTERY
YOU MIGHT NEED A STIFF DRINK
MAYBE SOME SLAMMERS
COME ON GIRLS GET YOUR COATHANGERS
COME ON GIRLS X4
GET YOUR COATHANGERS
