about

We are all addicts. We all get our kicks from something. Our egos will not let us alone and so we improvise. In the video, Yeta is a lovely young man who becomes a gloriously glorious woman. His obsession. A song listing all the things we obssess about. But only the nice things.

lyrics

Cindy get’s a kick from leather
Wendy reads the weather on TV
John the junkie
Thinks it’s funky
Ernie dresses up as Elvis Presley
Stan’s the man who thinks she can
And wants to rule the world
Before she’s thirty
And every Sunday is the one day
Father Frederick Drinks his bowl of plenty
Terry’s turning up the hi-fi
Turning over Playboy’s sticky pages
Charles prefers the Country Life
But no-one’s burst his bubble
For simply ages
Two hundred miles an hour
Isn’t fast enough for Valerie and Flo
Doreen’s never been
But what she’s never had or seen
Will never hurt her

Everybody’s hooked on something
Everybody’s hooked on something nice
Everybody’s hooked on something
Everybody’s hooked on something nice

My other car’s a Jaguar
The sticker says on Bobby’s three-wheeled racer
Zak is back and screaming loud
But he can’t hear a bloody thing
Above the silence
One-nil up with ten to go
The pressure and the tension is unbearable
A birthday cake
Will take away the bitter pill
We often have to swallow
And Joy believes in lettuce leaves
For keeping body beautiful
Cause she’s a model

Everybody’s hooked on something
Everybody’s hooked on something nice
Everybody’s hooked on something
Everybody’s hooked on something nice

It never rains It only pours
Say hello to her indoors
I’ll do the dishes You do the floors
The garden’s looking lovely
For this time of year

Coming back for coffee, love?
She knows you know
You know she does
Do you think it’s big enough?
You would be surprised
At all the things I hear

Everybody’s hooked on something
Everybody’s hooked on something nice
Everybody’s hooked on something
Everybody’s hooked on something nice
