[Verse 1]
I am the message centre
Local and direct
Room to room, an operator
(No calls today, dear, they'll just have to wait, dear)
I call and I collect
(So just strike him softly, away from the body)

[Chorus]
You're made up too shiny today (In so much trouble)
You ought to just piss it away (In so much trouble)
So much trouble

[Verse 2]
I am a manager
And I am in control
As the local delegator
(No calls today, dear, they'll just have to wait, dear)
I offer no guarantee at all
(So don't take it lightly, you're past your sell by date)

[Chorus]
You're made up too shiny today (In so much trouble)
You ought to just piss it away (In so much trouble)
A new typeface, a new day (In so much trouble)
You can't remember ten minutes ago (In so much trouble)
Too much trouble
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la
(You're past your sell by date)

[Chorus]
You're made up too shiny today (In so much trouble)
You ought to just piss it away (In so much trouble)
A new typeface, a new day (In so much trouble)
You can't remember ten minutes ago (In so much trouble)
Just too much trouble

[Outro]
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
La, la, la, la
La, la-la-la-la
