The Modern Leper - Frightened Rabbit

A cripple walks amongst you
All you tired human beings

He's got all the things a cripple has not
Two working arms and legs

Vital parts fall from his system
And dissolve in Scottish rain

Vitally he doesn't miss them
He's too f**ked up to care

Is that you in front of me

Coming back for even more of exactly the same

You must be a masochist

You love a modern leper on his last leg

On his last leg

I've crippled your heart a hundred times
And still can't work out why

See  I've got this disease  I can't shake
And I'm just rattling through life

Oh  this is how we do things now
And this is how the modern stay scared

So I cut out all the good stuff
Yeah  I cut of my foot to spite my leg

Is that you in front of me

Coming back for even more of exactly the same

You must be a masochist

To love a modern leper on his last leg

I am ill but I'm not dead

And I don't know which of those I'd prefer

Because that limb which I have lost

I was it the only thing holding me up

Holding me up

I'm lying on the ground now
And you walk in through the only door

I have lost my eyesight like I said I would
But I still know

The that is you in front of me

And you are back for even more of exactly the same
Well  are you a masochist

You love a modern leper on his last leg

You're not ill and I'm not dead

Doesn't that make us the perfect pair
Should sit with me

Start again

And you can tell me all about what you did today
What you did today
