The Mekons – Hard To Be Human Again Lyrics

I made a mistake
When I looked over my shoulder
Cromwell was right behind me
In the driving rain
I came out of the bathroom
Looking for my ticket
Its hard to be
Hard to be human again

Well Ive been punched and beaten
Though it never shows
Im going up to Sheffield
I dont know when Im coming home
He took me in a corner
And I dont know why
I was looking for a friend
He shaved me dry

Never been in trouble
Dont call me on the phone
Put the blower in the bathroom
Burn the house and start from scratch
Searching for existence with my red, red wine
Its hard to be
Hard to be human again

There was a caravan
Leaving in the dusk

I saw a man hold a chicken to his head
Im telling you baby
I go up and I come down
It hard to be
Hard to be human again
