Songtexte What On Earth Is It (You Take Me For?) - Madness
I
can
barely
keep
the
pace
as
I
bolt
out
the
door
The
watershed
dissolves
into
families
at
war
The
crude
tube
bogs
me
out
with
a
cucumber
sandwich
Between
the
cause
and
the
emotional
damage
What
on
earth
is
it
you
take
me
for?
Is
your
ego
doing
battle
with
the
ratings?
Mocking
me
afflicted
to
the
very
core
Take
responsibility
for
your
failings,
matron
(Take
the
money,
open
the
box)
(Take
the
money,
open
the
box)
The
problem
as
I
see
it
and
I'm
not
one
to
judge
But
your
void
of
compassion
takes
a
dive
in
the
sludge
Oh,
what
on
earth
is
it
you
take
me
for?
Do
you
judge
me
purely
on
the
ratings?
You
bend
me
like
a
pretzel,
now
I'm
down
on
all
fours
The
money
box
is
open
for
the
takings,
matron
Abigail
and
Brittney
perform
the
truffle
shuffle
They
are
having
a
go
in
all
the
kerfuffle
Now
don't
squirm
in
your
chair,
you
are
the
sole
director
So
just
pull
the
fucking
plug
out
from
its
connector
Gawping
at
the
dot,
disappear
into
the
screen
Stand
up
to
attention
for
your
country
and
queen
Fellow
brothers
and
sisters,
follow
your
instinct
Avoid
being
sucked
into
the
prosperous
jive
(Take
the
money,
open
the
box)
(Take
the
money,
open
the
box)
I
can
barely
keep
the
pace
as
I
bolt
out
the
door
The
ninth
bell
tolls
and
it's
Pussy
Galore
What
on
earth
is
it
you
take
me
for?
Do
you
judge
me
purely
on
the
ratings?
You
bend
me
like
a
pretzel,
now
I'm
down
on
all
fours
The
money
box
is
open
for
the
takings
What
on
earth
is
it
you
take
me
for?
Do
you
judge
me
purely
on
the
ratings?
If
I
bend
just
a
little
further
more
I'm
likely
to
chuck
up
upon
your
failings'
railings
What
on
earth
is
it
you
take
me
for?
(Take
the
money,
open
the
box)
Do
you
judge
me
purely
on
the
ratings?
(Take
the
money,
open
the
box)
You
bend
me
like
a
pretzel,
now
I'm
down
on
all
fours
(take
the
money,
open
the
box)
The
money
box
is
open
for
the
takings
(take
the
money,
open
the
box)
What
on
earth
is
it
you
take
me
for?
