Lyrics:

I’m reclaiming the trench coat
Who from and what for?
I wear it when I’m headed off to war
The longer the cut, the tougher you are
And mine drags along the floor
Through the sweatshop shrapnel
It gets trapped in my car door
And I’m tall next to small people
And I’m not as poor as you were
And I still get positively sick when all the bellboys call me Sir
Cause you never get used to the power
That a proper trench coat brings
The way that it swishes and swings
It sings

Do you know the history of the trench coat
What it represents and who it’s for
What I want to know is who would want a coat
so close to the floor
I went to the trench coat museum to see ‘em
A thousand different cuts
Like pelts from another dream
Stuffed and bursting at the seams
Cause I’m fishing for a theme
If its somewhere in between
A days honest graft and constantly fleeing the crime scene

The trench coat got banned for a bit
Does that conjure up any weird feelings
Knowing all kinds of twisted mind could find it a prime coat in which to conceal things
You can’t ban a coat can you?
Can you ban a coat?
Nope, they’re just running a racket
The only coat that matters now is a floating coat
So get yourself a life jacket
Can you hack it
Can you hack the heat?
Water rising
Look at your feet man
AAAAAAHHH
Cause whether rented borrowed bought stole second hand or brand new
Mines water resistant and heat proof
My trench coat will see me through

And when I’m gone I want all of my trench coats framed
And my knackered boots and dirty glasses
Tastefully arranged on the plinths in between
Cause when they get to the final exhibition that celebrates my good name
I want you to be on display too

Cause all that really remains of me is
You
