lyrics

The men have all got TB
And the girls have all got VD
Some joker here is taking the urine
I was talking to a midget
And he had a missing digit
On his hands could only count from one to nine
Everything here's bent and broken
I've spent all of beer tokens
I'll go back soon to my home-brewed rotgut wine
I peel off this bottle's label
I'll drink till I'm disabled
Underneath this table you will find...
Your Ugly Valentine - your Ugly Valentine
I know I'm no oil painting and I drank the turpentine
Your Ugly Valentine - your Ugly Valentine
I'll never win a beauty contest with a mug like mine.

Lost my money on the gee-gees
I feel like some manky squeegee
Put out to dry upon your washing line
This charming chap that you once courted
You'd like to see hung drawn and quartered
They should at least deport this useless swine
My breath smells like a dog's bowl
I feel rough as budget bog-roll
Life has lost it's sparkle - lost it's shine
The pain it gets no better and the rain seems to get wetter
Underneath this table you will find...
Your Ugly Valentine - your Ugly Valentine
I'm not a pretty picture sitting here and slurping wine
Your Ugly Valentine - your Ugly Valentine
I look like something that's just been fished out of The Serpentine
Your Ugly Valentine - your Ugly Valentine
I know I'm no oil painting and I drank the turpentine
Your Ugly Valentine - your Ugly Valentine
I'll never win no beauty contest with a mug like mine.

Nigel Burch and the Flea-Pit Orchestra London, UK

'Flea-Pit Music' has been (intoxicating and) invigorating music fans for over a decade. Best described by The Guardian as “a cross between the music of Ian Dury, Brecht and Weil, an Irish pub band and a 1950s skiffle group. Songs of urban alienation with plenty of fierce, spontaneous playing", their original sound is personified by the dark social commentary of Burch's lyrics and vocals. ... more
