Feel free to add lyrics from unreleased/alternative versions of songs on the TM 4CD in this thread! I
I really kicked on this release’s
Bent Livingroom Song – “The Entertaining Ape” – so here’s the lyrics as I hear them:
it’s such a soulful, sister
our dying breed
but as i’m getting older
that’s just the kind i need
it’s not a pretty picture
just runny paint
and as i’m getting closer
it’s getting weak and faint
what I know, what I know, what I know
won’t kill me
and in my brighter moments I can even laugh at myself
what I know, what I know, what I know
won’t kill me
but it doesn’t really help me either and
i ain’t old enough to die
now i’m old and wasted
bent out of shape
a forgotten relic
an entertaining ape
I should have checked the options
read the smallest print
but like any jerk
i didn’t take a hint
what I know, what I know, what I know
won’t kill me
and in my brighter moments I can even laugh at myself
what I know, what I know, what I know
won’t kill me
but it doesn’t really help me either and
i ain’t old enough to die
