lyrics

Sympathy shag,
Sympathy shag,
I'm holding out for a sympathy shag,
Sympathy shag,
Sympathy shag,
I'm holding out for a sympathy shag.

I hate myself and I'm very, very lonely,
You're so beautiful - why don't you phone me?
I want to tell you all about the problems I have,
All the unresolved issues with my Mum and Dad.

Maybe we can write sad poetry,
Eat ice cream and watch TV,
You can hold and comfort me,
We'll be happy - wait and see.

I don't want to have sex with you,
Not unless you want me to,
I have problems down below,
There's something that you should know.

I've never been intimate,
Maybe you can help with that,
I'm a little lost bobcat,
You can fix me just like that.

You are everything to me,
You can make me cups of tea,
Tell me everything's alright,
Cry ourselves to sleep at night.

Combining the power of humour and groove into a heady brew, The Victor Pope Band will offend and delight you in equal measure. One taste of their poison and the words will be engraved eternally on your brain… Victor Pope is Love! ... more
