Lyrics

I think my watch has bust and so has time
I borrowed all my love so nothings mine
There's nothing decent on the TV page
Like a new town animal in a furnished cage
It's gone eleven and the bar is shut
I'm sitting waiting like a real good mutt
I watch TV with an actor's rage
Like a new town animal in a furnished cage

My guitar teacher is an XTC fan like me, and he told me to try to figure out
some songs as homework assignments.  I've been really into "New Town Animal"
all week, so I took a stab at it.  I'm pretty sure these are right.
