Stereolab Margerine Rock lyrics

The beauty of this creature
Could only be equaled by
The extent of its paradox
Only be equaled by

Because it wanted two things
Opposite and conflicting

It wanted the light
It wanted everything in sight
Wanted to dominate
Or at least to participate

But only in their comforts
Of its chair and its slippers


The curiosity of the extra-ordinary creature
Was indeed limited because it could not suffer
The unknown in any shape or form
At the same time of wanting to look everywhere

Set up [Incomprehensible] at the top of its tower
The creature revealed in being a spectator
Through the glass what a glorious view
Relishing the gift of so much transparence

Relishing the gift of so much transparence
Having had absolutely no influence
