Verse:

C
Starts so slowly just a place to 
stay

Somewhere warm for them to spend 
their days
                       Bb    C
Air is stagnant and he feels unclean

Hair hangs greasy and he smells 
obscene
Ab
Something's happened and it's not so
 good

Broken bottles in the face of love
c                                 
-*Guitar creeps in quietly here*
Mottled flesh under the harsh strip 
light
                         Bb     
Nylon sheets to keep him warm at 
 C
night

Once it started it could never stop
                      Bb        C
Fills his head with a dark damp fog
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
Ab
In the distance is a constant cry

Growing louder as the years go by
C
Days get longer and he starts to 
drink
                         Bb     
Spews his stomach in the kitchen 
 C
sink

Tells his children they should have 
respect
                            Bb     
Tells his wife that she's a nervous
 C
 wreck
Ab
He hates his wife and he hates them 
all

He hates his wife and he hates them 
all

Repeat a few times. Keep this rhythm
 for the rest of the song.
The rest of it is structed in the 
same way, so that's basically it.
Here are the rest of the lyrics. N.B
 Please do not read the lyrics
whilst listening to the recordings.


Can't be bothered when it's all the 
same
Leave it long enough it goes away
In the meantime stomach turns to fat
Tries to tell him what he can't have
 back
She's only jealous and she's telling
 lies
Standing naked in his flesh disguise
Took him years to get into bed
Now he's got her he just wants her 
dead
She wants excitement and she needs 
romance
All she gets are dirty underpants
Stupid animal that can't know why
Something's wrong so someone has to 
die
The wind is blowing and the rain 
pours down
Sends his family on a trip down town
Sees them die in a burning wreck
Sees them burn, smokes a cigarette
He hates his wife and he hates them 
all
He hates his wife and he hates them 
all


He knows it's finished but he can't 
stop now
And he wants to end it but he can't 
see how
And it's all in pieces, thrown it 
all away
Oh but he's not ugly he just looks 
that way
And he wants some quiet and he needs
 it now
But the scream he started's getting 
far to loud
He still pretends he does it just 
for now
His day will come, he'll loose it 
all somehow
Killing time until his ship arrives
Been dead 10 years but he's still 
alive
And the time is wasted and boat has 
sunk
But he hasn't noticed and he comes 
home drunk
He's just dead weight, he'll never 
leave the ground
He tries to stand but he keeps 
falling down
It's hard to know he doesn't count 
for much
He's not a has-been, just a 
never-was
He hates his wife and he hates them 
all
He hates his wife and he hates them 
all

Hates his wife
And he hates them all
