Your Dictionary, lyric by Xtc

from the songs album Apple Venus, Pt. 1

H-a-t-e
Is that how you spell love in your dictionary
K-i-c-k
Pronounced as kind
F-u-c-k
Is that how you spell friend in your dictionary
Black on black
A guidebook for the blind

Well now that i can see my eyes won't weep
Now that i can hear your song sounds cheap
Now that i can talk all your corn i'll reap
I'm not so sure that joey wed a virgin mary
There are no words for me inside your dictionary

S-l-a-p
Is that how you spell kiss in your dictionary
C-o-l-d
Pronounced as care
S-h-i-t
Is that how you spelt me in your dictionary
Four-eyed fool
You led 'round everywhere

Now that i can see it's the queens new clothes
Now that i can hear all your poison prose
Now that i can talk with my tongue unfroze
I'm not so sure of santa or the buck-tooth fairy
There are no words for me inside your dictionary

Now your laughter has a hollow ring
But the hollow ring has no finger in
So let's close the book and let the day begin
And our marriage be undone
