Clean Steve — текст песни (Hitchcock Robyn)

man next door came round one night
to ask me for a drink
i said i didn`t anymore
he said, `that`s what you think`
a tendril curled around his leg
as he got up to leave
he said, `a friend of yours was here
but we all call him steve`
clean steve
clean steve
they don`t come any dirtier than me
better watch out all you space cats
clean steve is a mineral man
my cousin bruce came round to stay
the father of my son
he tore apart a stethoscope
and pointed at the sun
`there`s tentacles between our worlds,`
he said, `so i believe`
i said, `the man next door`s best friend
was making videos with clean steve`
you could have knocked him down with a feather
clean steve lent me a pound
in nineteen seventy-four
that was a lot of money then
i was extremely poor
we had a party three years later
clean steve wore a robe
he brought a new nick lowe cassette
and played it in the road
clean steve
clean steve
they don`t come any dirtier than me
better watch out all you space cats
clean steve is a mineral man
i called up mark ellen
but he wasn`t really in
instead i talked to his wife claire
about some gigs she`d seen
clean steve was outside the house
watching both his feet
we all had dinner with him once
he gave us lots to eat
there`s some real people in the world
and some who are pretend
clean steve is making videos
with the man next door`s best friend
he`s good at playing frisbee
and his teeth are shining bright
i think he comes from liverhead
if all my facts are right
clean steve
clean steve
they don`t come any dirtier than me
better watch out all you space cats
clean steve is a mineral man
