VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR lyrics : "Nutter Alert"

It might come in a letter,
darkness falls in a telephone call;
I await the unexpected

with one ear to the party wall.
Is it the pricking of the conscience,
is it the itching of hair shirt,

is it the dictionary definition
of a precipice to skirt?
It's the nutter alert.


Though this face is familiar
something in it has bred contempt;

I never asked for your opinion
or your back-handed compliments.
Oh, but here comes that special nonsense

all the words out in a spurt,
the unhinging of the trolley
as the mouth begins to blurt...

it's the nutter alert

I can see we're in trouble

from that glint in the eye you've got;
there's no sense to the story,
comprehensively lost, the plot.

And how contorted is that logic
you so forcefully exert:
you're a car crash in the making,

head-on, that's a racing cert.
It's the nutter alert,
this is the nutter alert.
