The Trench Coat Museum

I'm reclaiming the trench coat Who from and what for? 'Cause I wear it when I'm headed off to war (yeah) The longer the cut, the tougher you are And mine drags along the floor Through the sweatshop shrapnel It gets trapped in my car door And I'm tall next to small people And I'm not as poor as you were And I still get positively sick when all the bellboys call me Sir Cause you never get used to the power That a proper trench coat brings The way that it swishes and swings It sings Do you know the history of the trench coat What it represents and who it's for What I want to know is who would want a coat So close to the floor I went to the trench coat museum to see 'em A thousand different cuts Like pelts from another dream Stuffed and bursting at the seams Cause I'm fishing for a theme If its somewhere in between A days honest graft and constantly fleeing the crime scene The trench coat got banned for a bit Does that conjure up any weird feelings Knowing all kinds of twisted mind could find It a prime coat in which to conceal things You can't ban a coat can you? Can you ban a coat? Nope, they're just running a racket The only coat that matters now is a floating coat So get yourself a life jacket Can you hack it Can you hack the heat? Water rising Look at your feet man AAAAAAHHH Cause whether rented borrowed bought stole second hand or brand new Mines water resistant and heat proof My trench coat will see me through And when I'm gone I want all of my trench coats framed And my knackered boots and dirty glasses Tastefully arranged on the plinths in between Cause when they get to the final exhibition That celebrates my good name I want you to be on display too Cause all that really remains of me is You
