Satellite Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Suburban kid, and you got no name
You're too dumb, baby, and you got no brain
I bet you're all so happy in suburbian dreams
But I'm only laughing; you ain't in my scheme

[Chorus]
Baby
I love you
I love you
I love you

[Verse 2]
I only ever listen when you're on the phone
From your safety-restricted zone home
When I got nothing better to do
Then there's always you; you're good for my shoe

[Chorus]
Hey, babe
I love you
I love you
I love you

[Verse 3]
You look at me, and you just can't tell
You're looking like you just came outta hell
Acting like a dirty lavatory
There ain't no bid for your chastity
[Chorus]
Hey, baby
I love you
I love you
I love you

[Refrain]
I'm in love
I'm really in love

[Verse 4]
Try and join the scene, but you're too obscene
You're looking like a big, fat, pink, baked bean
How did you figure that you'd be any use
When all's you're gonna get is my abuse?

[Chorus]
Hey, babe
I love you
I love you
I love you

[Verse 5]
You know I don't like where you come from
It's just a satellite of London
And when you look me in the eye
I just remember I wanna die
[Chorus]
Hey, babe
I love you
I love you
I love you

[Outro]
I can't take no more
Just stop
