lyrics

Everything you do
You do in such a special way...
If you weren't around I wouldn't know what to do with myself all day

The thoughtful presents that you bring
Show me how much you care
From dubious stains on the carpet to a sink lined with pubic hair

You're always leaving me pieces of you
So our apartment feels more like a home
From week old dishes encrusted with food
To foot-long shit stains on the toilet bowl

I can't piss without you shouting at me through the key hole
My optometrist's amazed at my eye-muscle control
It's the strenuous work out they get with each roll
You put the hate into housemate

It's like you have a second sense
As soon as I vacuum the floor
You keep me on my toes by spreading stale sausage rolls
And broken glass wall to wall

And every night you lose your keys
You're knocking on my window pane
At 4 o'clock and then you windmill your cock
To try to put a smile on my face

If I move things while cleaning you say you're appalled
And then you steal and deface my possessions
You leave doors unlocked and all your jocks in the hall
And so my friend I have to make a confession...

I can't have guests without you prancing in and out in the buff
You don't have your rent, but for your facials you've got more than enough
But you don't know what I'm exfoliating with your toothbrush...
You put the hate into housemate

Oo, you make Narcissus look shy, you're so vain
A shaved, rabid monkey would be simpler to train
And wouldn't think 'Sister Act''s a better film than 'Citizen Kane'
You put the hate into housemate
You'd make a tapeworm wanna vacate
You put the hate into housemate.
