Lyrics:Your Dictionary

by XTC

Album version:

H-A-T-E Is that how you spell love in your dictionary K-I-C-K Pronounced as kind F-U-C-K Is that how you spell friend in your dictionary Black on black A guidebook for the blind Well now that I can see my eyes won't weep Now that I can hear your song sounds cheap Now that I can talk all your corn I'll reap I'm not so sure that Joey wed a Virgin Mary There are no words for me inside your dictionary S-L-A-P Is that how you spell kiss in your dictionary C-O-L-D Pronounced as care S-H-I-T Is that how you spelt me in your dictionary Four-eyed fool You led 'round everywhere Now that I can see it's the queen's new clothes Now that I can hear all your poison prose Now that I can talk with my tongue unfroze I'm not so sure of Santa or the buck tooth fairy There are no words for me inside your dictionary Now your laughter has a hollow ring But the hollow ring has no finger in   So let's close the book and let the day begin And our marriage be undone
