| Verse: |
| C | |
| Starts so slowly just a place to stay |
| Somewhere warm for them to spend their days |
| Bb | C | |
| Air is stagnant and he | feels | unclean |
| Hair hangs greasy and he smells obscene |
| Ab | |
| Something's happened and it's not so good |
| Broken bottles in the face of love |
| c -*Guitar creeps in quietly here* |
| Mottled flesh under the harsh strip light |
| Bb | C | |
| Nylon sheets to keep him | warm at | night |
| Once it started it could never stop |
| Bb c |
| Fills his head with a dark damp fog |
| Ab | |
| In the distance is a constant cry |
| Growing louder as the years go by |
| C | |
| Days get longer and he starts to drink |
| Bb | C | |
| Spews his stomach in the | kitchen | sink |
| Tells his children they should have respect |
| Bb | C | |
| Tells his wife that she's a | nervous | wreck |
| Ab | |
| He hates his wife and he hates them all |
| He hates his wife and he hates them all |
| (Break) |
| Youll have to listen to the record to get the timing right. |

| Repeat a few times. Keep this rhythm for the rest of the song. |
| The rest of it is structed in the same way, so that's basically it. |
| Here are the rest of the lyrics. N.B Please do not read the lyrics |
| whilst listening to the recordings. |
| Can't be bothered when it's all the same |
| Leave it long enough it goes away |
| In the meantime stomach turns to fat |
| Tries to tell him what he can't have back |
| She's only jealous and she's telling lies |
| Standing naked in his flesh disguise |
| Took him years to get into bed |
| Now he's got her he just wants her dead |
| She wants excitement and she needs romance |
| All she gets are dirty underpants |
| Stupid animal that can't know why |
| Something's wrong so someone has to die |
| The wind is blowing and the rain pours down |
| Sends his family on a trip down town |
| Sees them die in a burning wreck |
| Sees them burn, smokes a cigarette |
| He hates his wife and he hates them all |
| He hates his wife and he hates them all |
| He knows it's finished but he can't stop now |
| And he wants to end it but he can't see how |
| And it's all in pieces, thrown it all away |
| Oh but he's not ugly he just looks that way |
| And he wants some quiet and he needs it now |
| But the scream he started's getting far to loud |
| He still pretends he does it just for now |
| His day will come, he'll loose it all somehow |
| Killing time until his ship arrives |
| Been dead 10 years but he's still alive |
| And the time is wasted and boat has sunk |
| But he hasn't noticed and he comes home drunk |
| He's just dead weight, he'll never leave the ground |
| He tries to stand but he keeps falling down |
| It's hard to know he doesn't count for much |
| He's not a has-been, just a never-was |
| He hates his wife and he hates them all |
| He hates his wife and he hates them all |
| Hates his wife |
| And he hates them all |
