(difford/tilbrook)
Give me a plate and Id break it
Show me a smile and Id cry
Give me your love and Id hate it
Tell me the truth and Id lie
Give me a crust and Id burn it
Show me the way and Id shout
Give me a page and Id turn it
Well you could never put me down
Misunderstood like a cockroach
(as tasty as a crab)
Who just tries to live for the day
(my worlds on my back)
People wont need to be frightened
(as frightened as I am)
Excepting I was born this way
Dont sweep me under the carpet
(tomorrow Ill be there)
Dont file me away for my sins
(theres some I can repair)
Friends are now beginning to say
(so pleased with their despair)
How come I dont talk to him
I didnt talk to him
Give me an egg and Id suck it
Show me the sun and Id freeze
Give me a nest and some honey
Keep all the birds and the bees, please
Helplessness under my wing
People said dont talk to him
