My actions are in no way born out of some sort of Darwinist offensive
G                Em            G                      D
I just get a bit fidgety times; thumbs twiddle in the middle of a funfair

G                Em                   G              D
Straightways the floor gets slippery, eyes glaze and Bobby's getting jittery
G               Em                   G                     D

Brickbats for Sottsass,   bouquets for the chuckling footstool

In the heart of darkness there are no hassle free cabinets
G            Em             G        D
Sometimes occasional tables, mid-air look kind of dangerous

Three cheers for the infinite leaflets, ticker tape got me thinking of Kempes

Funky fabric, hip hip hooray, there's no stopping him, rip rip away

Heaven yes, distant now, one imagines after this lot
G          Em            G              D
Still gasp at his agility albeit in the tree of tranquillity

G                       Em                  G                      D
