lyrics

The Sloth of the Metropolis left his lair and went wandering the streets of Glasgow. He’s drank plenty wine, but still feels thirsty. Maybe this newsagents can help him out?

He goes in for a can of juice. Looking down the aisles, all he sees is stacks and stacks of pornography.

“What’s this all about? I thought the sign outside said this was a newsagents?” he asks the shopkeeper, pointing out the utter absence of newspapers, never mind a can of something sweet.

The newsagent gives a sly smile, glad to have a captive audience.

“You really want to know? Well, let me tell ya…”

For every single thing
That you can think of
There's a person
Getting sexual arousal
There are thousands upon thousands
Of paraphilias, fetishes
I believe there is
More than you can mention
It's insane, more than you can name
Some of them are simple
Like age, face, race, waist
Tits, lips, other bits,
Then it gets serious
Donkey dicks, asphyxiation
Nappies, feces, amputation
Forniphilia; turning someone into furniture
Klismaphilia; when you're really into enemas
Plushophilia; taking teddy to bed
Necrophilia; when you're better off dead
I just try to supply to the customer
What he's lusting for, wanting more,
Need another score
More than just a business,
An important public service
You all deserve this so i have to serve this.

I am a humble newsagent
with a real clear mission in mind
Whatever turns you on,
on my shelves I hope you will find
I am a humble newsagent
with a real clear mission in mind
Covered up in plastic coloured silver,
your phantasy is somewhere inside
Is somewhere inside…"
