"Oliver Twisted" lyrics
Once I had a friend called Oliver Twisted
Who used to think he was a brand of the gifted
Stupendously handsome, beautifully smart
He had no heart
On his own he was all alone
He wanted more than he ever got
Once I had a friend called Oliver Twisted
Who took life so slow that he occasionally missed it
Permanently senseless, never on this plane
He had no brain
On his own he was all alone
He wanted more than he ever got
Once I had a friend called Oliver Twisted
Who lived on the edge or so he insisted
Inevitably careless, hated rock-'n'-roll
He had no soul
On his own he was all alone
He wanted more than he ever got
Who used to think he was a brand of the gifted
Stupendously handsome, beautifully smart
He had no heart
On his own he was all alone
He wanted more than he ever got
Once I had a friend called Oliver Twisted
Who took life so slow that he occasionally missed it
Permanently senseless, never on this plane
He had no brain
On his own he was all alone
He wanted more than he ever got
Once I had a friend called Oliver Twisted
Who lived on the edge or so he insisted
Inevitably careless, hated rock-'n'-roll
He had no soul
On his own he was all alone
He wanted more than he ever got
