lyrics

What's in the odd sock draw?
What's in the odd sock draw?

Kind, honest, brave and true
That’s not me and that’s not you.
Quiet despair gets you nowhere
Kick off a lot 'bout what you’ve not got.

That’s what’s in the odd sock drawer
That’s what’s in the odd sock drawer

By the power invested in me
I’m powerless can’t you see?
By the power invested in us
You never know we could change some stuff.
Just cos you’re right, don’t make it right
Just cos you own it, don’t make it yours.

That’s what’s in the odd sock drawer
That’s what’s in the odd sock drawer

He lives on vegetables
Advises abstinence from chemicals
He’s always hungry, he’s always hungry
Could turn rabid and eat yer baby

He’s in the odd sock drawer
He’s in the odd sock drawer

As I witness the perishing of my brilliant brain
The smart ones cross their legs
All wearing matching socks

I’m in the odd sock drawer
Get in the odd sock drawer
