Bugman Lyrics
[Intro]
Bugman, bugman
[Verse 1]
I am an ex offender
They let me out in the summer
I think I was in a coma
I didn't know what to do
Oh no
[Chorus]
You go hang around, go 'round
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the bugman
You go hang around, around
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the bugman
[Verse 2]
I got no sense of existence
I know the nodding dogs
I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
You go hang around, go 'round (na, na, na na na)
I'll watch myself look out (na, na, na na na)
Look out for the bugman (na, na, na na na)
You go hang around, around (na, na, na na na)
I'll watch myself hang on (na, na, na na na)
Look out for the b-b-b-bugman (na, na, na na na)
The b-b-b-bugman
The b-b-b-bugman
The b-b-b-bugman
Oh bugman!
Bugman, bugman
[Verse 1]
I am an ex offender
They let me out in the summer
I think I was in a coma
I didn't know what to do
Oh no
[Chorus]
You go hang around, go 'round
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the bugman
You go hang around, around
I'll watch myself hang on
Look out for the bugman
[Verse 2]
I got no sense of existence
I know the nodding dogs
I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
You go hang around, go 'round (na, na, na na na)
I'll watch myself look out (na, na, na na na)
Look out for the bugman (na, na, na na na)
You go hang around, around (na, na, na na na)
I'll watch myself hang on (na, na, na na na)
Look out for the b-b-b-bugman (na, na, na na na)
The b-b-b-bugman
The b-b-b-bugman
The b-b-b-bugman
Oh bugman!
[Verse 3]
I go out in the city
I stay away from the bugs
Oh yeah

About
Genius Annotation
This song is very much about drugs (the all out freakout accompanying the lyrics drive this point home, including a superb guitar performance from Graham Coxon): the ‘bugman’ was Damon Albarn’s drug dealer.
