Nothing Much – 3rd November 2001

I’m pretty damn good at nothing
Much at all
Jack of all trades with no
Trades to ever call


Everything must be in the right place
Line it up, symmetrical and straight
The sequence is so important too
Each placement

Line it up, make it perfect
Symmetrical and straight
Dust it, dust it, dust it
Now do you feel great?

Took you all day
To make your muscles move
Counting each one in sequence
Got it wrong, start again
Start again from the beginning
