This is for the fingers
This is for the nails
Hidden in the kitchen
Right behind the scales

I'm wasting fingers like I had them to spare

Plugging holes in the Zuiderzee
A
Punishing Paul for Peter

Don't ever trust those meters

In another country
With another name
Maybe things are different
Maybe they're the same

little practice and some holiday pay

We're on a train to nowhere
