Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wash with new soap behind the collar
Keeps a clean mental state
Don't usually bother in cold weather
But still I'm getting into work late
[Verse 2]
And I don't need the practice
I've been making plans
(For the future)
Become an unconscious man
(All for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
(We don't think so)
(You seem star-shaped)
[Verse 3]
I have a couple at the weekend
Keeps up camaraderie
And my mind boggles in the muddle
At the possibilities
[Verse 4]
And I don't need the practice
I've been making plans
(For the future)
Become an unconscious man
(All for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
(We don't think so)
(You seem star-shaped)
[Verse 5]
And I've been making plans
(For the future)
Become an unconscious man
(All for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
(We don't think so)
(You seem star-shaped)
[Verse 6]
I wash with new soap behind the collar
Helps keep down the laundry
And now I bother in cold weather
Because it cleans me mentally
[Verse 7]
And I really don't need the practice
I've been making plans
(For the future)
Become an unconscious man
(All for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
(We don't think so)
(You seem star-shaped)
[Verse 8]
I've been making plans
(For the future)
Become an unconscious man
(All for the good)
I feel so unnecessary
(We don't think so)
(You seem star-shaped)
