“Rats”    (Barrett)
Got it hit down
Spot knock inside a spider
Says: "That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"

"That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Says: "That's love - All know it
TV, teeth, feet, peace, feel it...
"That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
"That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"

Like the fall that brings me to
I like the fall that brings me to
I like the cord around sinew
I make a cord around sinew.

Duck, the weight to least is lest
Tea craving of the metal west
Hell tomorrow's rain and test
Hell tomorrow's rain and test
Love an empty son and guess
Love an empty son and guess
Pimples dangerous and blessed.

Heaving, arriving, tinkling
Mingling jets and statuettes
Seething wet we meeting fleck
Seething wet we meeting fleck
Lines and winds and bib and half
Of each fair day I give you half
Of each fair day I give you half
I look into your eyes anew,
Bathe in the sun for you...

Bam, spastic, tactile engine
Heaving, crackle, slinky, dormy, roofy, wham
I'll have them, fried bloke
Broken jardy, cardy, smoocho, moocho, paki, pufftle.

Sploshette moxy, very smelly,
Cable, gable, splintra, channel
Top the seam he's taken off.

Rats, rats lay down flat
We don't need you, we act like that
And if you think you're un-loved
Then we know about that...
Rats, rats, lay down flat!
Yes, yes, yes, yes, lay down flat!
