(Difford/Tilbrook)
Give me a plate and I'd break it
Show me a smile and I'd cry
Give me your love and I'd hate it
Tell me the truth and I'd lie
Give me a crust and I'd burn it
Show me the way and I'd shout
Give me a page and I'd 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 worldЎЇs on my back)
People won't need to be frightened
(As frightened as I am)
Excepting I was born this way
Don't sweep me under the carpet
(Tomorrow IЎЇll be there)
Don't file me away for my sins
(ThereЎЇs some I can repair)
Friends are now beginning to say
(So pleased with their despair)
