Manic Street Preachers - Take The Skinheads Bowling Lyrics

Manic Street Preachers Lyrics

"Take The Skinheads Bowling"
(originally by Camper Van Beethoven)

Every day I get up and pray to Jah
And he decreases the number of clocks by exactly one
Everybody's coming home for lunch these days
Last night there were skinheads on my lawn

Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling

Some people say that bowling alleys got big lanes (got big lanes, got big lanes)
Some people say that bowling alleys all look the same (look the same)
There's not a line that goes here that rhymes with anything (anything, anything)
Last night I had a dream but I forgot what it was

Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling

I had a dream last night about you, my friend
I had a dream, I wanted to sleep next to plastic
I had a dream, I wanted to lick your knees
I had a dream, it was about nothing

Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling

Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
Take the skinheads bowling
Take them bowling
