"The TAB Took My Baby Away" lyrics

It was like drowning in the river at night
Stepping in from a hissing road
The carpet's damp and I saw the lights
Were a twinkling constellation of odds
I whispered a prayer to the TV sky
And a faceless voice said, "Are you being funny?"
It's a question of faith, honey

The T.A.B. took my baby's money
The T.A.B. took my baby's money

It was a baptism, old and cold
Bound and gagged with sweat and mould
And frothing mouths and steaming hides
High definition bloodshot eyes
If you treat me like a dog, baby
I'll run 'til I die, baby
The flesh I loved sinks into decay

The T.A.B. took my baby away
The T.A.B. took my baby away
The T.A.B. took my baby from me
Now, baby, it's just a moment in the scene
