Lyrics

In the beginning there was nothing
To be honest, that suited me just fine
I was three weeks late coming out of the womb
In no great rush to join the rest of mankind
Where there were:

Further complications
Further complications in store, yeah

I was not born in wartime
I was not born in pain or poverty
I need an addiction, I need an affliction
To cultivate a personality
I need some:

Further complications, oh
Further complications in store, yeah
Your life is just a carrier bag

The enemy without has moved in somewhere else
If your parents didn't screw you up, why not do it yourself?
Go fight your battles - go to a disco
You wanna suffer? Go to a rock show

Do you follow me? (Follow me)
Then follow me (Follow me)
Do you follow me? (Follow me)
Then follow me
Follow me to:

Further complications
That's right
Further complications in store, yeah
Your life is just a carrier bag
Over-fill it and the straps will snap

I used to think that people all chose the lives they led
But so many different choices that you've got to make instead
Don't write a novel - a shopping list is better
It's a complicated boogie and I don't know any better, baby

Further complications
Oh!
Further complications in store, yeah
Your life is just a carrier bag
Over-fill it and the straps will snap

Further complications
Further complications
Do you follow me?
