Yr' Head Is A Rock (song)

Additional Information
In the booklet in the album there is a typo in the lyrics for this song, in the seventh line it says 'You,ve got the right idea'.

Song meaning as told by Jon: "Yr' Head Is A Rock is a bit confusing really, some of it is about losing good people to the dream machine, meaning the advertising world - creativity being wasted on selling products which are pretty much meaningless. That's what the song's about pretty much". Rip It Up, Oct. 1996

Lyrics
Worked so hard to get your credentials So young, so hip, so experimental But you'll play the game in the end So young, so hip, so perfectly able You got a major talent For making foolish things seem perfectly balanced You've got the right idea The world's full of suckers So won't you come along..

Your head is a rock and it's doing in mine If there's somebody in there Just leave me a sign? No, no, your head is a rock

So young, so hip, so experimental Worked so hard to get influential But you play the game You just the same And the time keeps on tickin' You've developed a habit Fro making foolish things Seem perfectly balanced And you don't even know yourself You're the fool

Behind that perfect smile The hunger won't subside The jaws stay open wide Don't play me, you're not so young, so hip

We shall not cop out
