Lyrics

Things I Love To Hate


The things I hate I'll now relate
In no special order
Like grumpy, overofficious staff
At the US border
Castrated ewes, too long queues
In which I have to wait
These all make me quite displeased
Things I love to hate


The things I hate aren't for debate
And they're never altered
Like folk who gape, barbary apes
That inhabit Gibraltar
Men called Keith who click their teeth
And pontificate
Those tend to get up my nose
Things I love to hate


The things I hate I calculate
Will multiply no doubt
Like folk who moan on mobile phones
And cry and swear and shout
Beloved friends who just won't bend
And who can't relate
So you see they bother me
Things I love to hate


Chorus


I must confess I do obsess
About things on my list
But if I quit compiling it
How could I exist ?

Verse


The things I hate I cogitate
Do offend my senses
Like language nerds who use their words
In past and present tenses
Partners in crime who leave on time
But always turn up late
Surely will, I've had my fill
Things I love to hate
