Getting on the bus The piccadilly groms Thinks that life is tough, but Knows that she belongs She's better than the rest She stands out from the crowd Although she's dressed in black 'Cause colours aren't allowed Although they look the same I find myself drawn to the Long-haired one on the far left Though her friends are wearing Korn hoodies and some of them are celebrating Green Day, and they've been shit for years But the girl in the Kid A top, I bet she's great I bet she likes to get down when the beat form Ideoteque hits the ground And I bet she likes to stay up late and listen to Motion Picture Soundtrack And knows all the words to the third verse There's something about those moshers The large and lumpy huggable girls That you know are just above you and You just want them above you and 'Though her friends still idolise Curt Cobain don't you dare take his name in vain She'll prefer meoltonin to lithium and Campaign for fairtrade In her boudouir i'd get dirty Put the stereo up to thirty I'd give her my three fingers To the soundtrack of Treefingers And in the morning i'd wake up With my Morning Bella She'd find herself next to and Optimistic fella Oh the girl in the Kid A top, i can wear the frock We can hit the floor, if they ever play How Can You Be Sure And we can go to Jilly's Rockworld and sit around and mock, girl As they jump around and lose it to that naff nu-metal music I'm just sick of being human.

They couldn't make it yellow And nor was it cyan What's in the purple bottle - What are they denyin'? Purple Milk Purple Milk How much fat's in purple milk? I reckon it's a quarter You bet that it's three and on the wager is riding 20p Purple Milk Purple Milk How much fat's in purple milk? But when we went back to Spar The purple milk was gone and no-one there knew what we were talking about Purple Milk Purple Milk How much fat's in purple milk? we'll never know How much fat's in purple milk we'll never know How much fat's in purple milk

about

Bruised Pilgrim was recorded live at pilgrim caverns in a weekend of november 2008 by Andrew Gardiner, with overdubbed vocals and percussion. It's all kinds of rocking, from jaunty indie to fierce counting-core; we're really, really proud of it.
