LYRICS
ALIENS TOOK MY STEREO
What’s that I spy upon afar?
Two weird geezers sitting in a car
Staking out my bedsit while I eat my Chinese
Who’s that there knocking at the door?
Same two blokes I talked about before
Realised they were aliens and fell to my knees
Unholy visitation
I prepared for annihilation
All they did was barge into my flat and steal my things
Men are coming in my room and taking things away
They’re taking my stereo away
I knelt awestruck and overcome
Thought they’d kill me with a laser gun
Paralysed with dread and discombobuled with fear
Thought they might devastate the globe
Or subject me to an anal probe
But they just ignored me and nicked off with my gear
Don’t tell me I’m naive
Why won’t anyone just believe?
The truth is out there, way out there, so out there that it’s here
Men are coming in my room and taking things away
They’re taking my stereo away
Aliens came in my room and took my things away
They’re taking my stereo away
Maybe they were burglars and my spaceman theory’s wrong
But why would someone try to burgle me unless they came from
Mars?
My Dad said they were bailiffs but he always hides the truth from me
Like all those little liars in the White House and the Pentagon
They loaded up their van with all the stuff that they had taken
Then without so much a by your leave got in and buggered off
I tried to say goodbye in Martianese but I don’t know any
Apart from “bartiklartikantiko” which means “Hello”
Men are coming in my room and taking things away
They’re taking my stereo away
Aliens came in my room and took my things away
They’re taking my stereo away
Fishnet Brando
Aliens Took My Stereo
All I Ever Do (is sit in my room)
The Cowboy Astronaut of Mother’s Day
Everything is Wrong
Music for Televisions
When the Forest Smells
I Am a Video
Dead Men Don’t Cry
Pinch Me, I Must Be Dreaming
