Shoot the Sexual Athlete (Radio Session)

Now I'm in a band, people try to make me do things

Kiss arses and pay tribute

But I'm inclined today to do those things anyway

And I don't care who hears it

Because I'm a fan of the Go-Betweens

A fan of Robert, and I always have been

But I like Grant, not that I've met him

Because he's charming

Of all the stars, and all the would-be stars

I'd take him home to my mum and dad

Yeah, he's charming, but he's a trouble-maker too

He amuses me greatly

I like Lindy and I saw Vickers

Pete stole the set list, and the itinerary

He wrote my name down as "Tour Rent Boy"

It was hard, but so is life

I was making button badges

And I had too much time on my hands

I coloured them by hand

Pere Ubu and the Sugarcubes

Kids came in to watch me

But Pete and Sean just scorned

Just like they scorned Robert

But I secretly loved the big guy

He dressed like Sherlock Holmes

And he fixed us with a quizzative eye

Before singing such romances

That only the sods trampled underfoot by Thatcher

Could appreciate their love

Could appreciate their love
