lyrics

Wear-Wear-Wearside-Wearside-Wearside
Wear-Wear-Wearside-Wear-Wearside

‘I’m Jack
but Lord I was disturbed
there’s plenty of them knocking about
they never learn do they George
Jack the Ripper
I’m Jack’

Tripping out to hymns on the radio
chest-bone clicking in the clinical echo
stains on the carpets dog-ends in the sink
coma afternoon getting for the drink

W-E-A-R-S-I-D-E

His mam she always said he was emotionally unwell
a joker and a hoaxer and he’s on his way to hell
stumbling down a road signposted death and dereliction
the highlight of his day’s picking up his methadone prescription

Wear-Wear-Wearside-Wearside-Wearside
Wear-Wear-Wearside-Wear-Wearside

Daddy made his brain jerk
Mummy made his heart hurt
Daddy made his brain jerk (Daddy made him cry)
Mummy made his heart hurt (Mummy made him want to die)

W-E-A-R-S-I-D-E

Wear-Wear-Wearside-Wearside-Wearside
Wear-Wear-Wearside-Wear-Wearside

‘I’m Jack’
