Gaskrantinstation - Lyrics - Headless Chickens

The Headless Chickens were a New Zealand band. Going against the grain of the Dunedin sound that dominated the Flying Nun Records roster at the time, the Headless Chickens made extensive use of electronic instruments in their music.

My name is Ivan, my occupation? Well I've been working 20 years At the gaskrankinstation downtown. I love the cars, y'know, without me they wouldn't go very far I love the smell, I like my work But my wife Sometimes she makes me feel like such a jerk When I can't get it up Sometimes I look at her And I don't feel anybody there. I've got a cat called Ed And he's a vicious little *** When it comes to being fed. I've got a TV set or two But we'll have to get a man in 'Cos one of them blew up. Maybe one day I'll take up the piano again But, oh, you know, what the hell? Most of the time everything is just Swell around here. (more to come....)
