Taboo Lyrics - Fascinating Aida

[Adèle] 

We agonise over every single word that we put into our songs! 

And, of course, there are many subjects that we'd never dream of touching in songs, such as... 

... 

unwanted facial hair... 

[Dillie] 

Smegma! 

[Liza] 

... Ipswich... 

[Dillie] 

... or how about: 

Inviting a vegetarian to a barbecue? 

[Adèle] 

Yelling TITANIC! on the QE2!

[Liza] 

Meeting Prince Andrew and asking "What do you do?" 

[All] 

It's taboo 

It's taboo 

It's taboo! 

When you're kissing, it's having bad breath 

With your granny, talking 'bout death 

If you're an actor, quoting Mac... 

It's taboo, it's taboo, it's taboo. 

Taboo is doing things that are sadly mistaken 

Like saying Mohammed was partial to bacon 

Asking Justin Bieber for a lift in his motor 

Going to the ladies and leaving a floater! 

Telling Mick Ken he's done a wonderful job 

Posting a letter in Cherie Blair's gob 

Telling Bruce Forsythe to bloody well quit 

Or asking Rolf Harris to babysit!

[Liza] 

So is it wise to go out in a crop top if you've got several babies? 

I'd have to say no - it's not nice for us! 

And is it wrong to make love to a sheep when you're not wearing wellies? 

I'd have to say yes! 

[Adèle] 

Oh, but why? 

[Liza] 

They might run away! 

[All] 

Picking your nose at an interview 

Keeping your mouth open when you chew 

Hogging the loo when there's a queue 

It's taboo, it's taboo, it's taboo! 

[Liza] 

Doing a bunk on your wedding day 

[Adèle] 

Sleeping with your brother when his wife's away 

[Dillie] 

Admitting to the world you're a lousy lay 

[All] 

It's taboo, it's taboo, it's taboo! 

Taboo is when you break society's rules 

Like having a pee in a swimming pool 

Telling Harry Styles his hair is skanky 

Eating the bogies from a stranger's hanky! 

Getting one over when your knickers aren't clean 

Rogering yourself with an aubergine 

Informing your hostess her dinner's a disgrace 

By spitting out the gristle in her husband's face! 

[Adèle] 

So should you ask the Dalai Lama if he misses Nepal? 

I have to say no! 

He comes from Tibet! 

And should you use your sphincter to whistle the death march from Saul 

I'd like to say yes, 'cos it's jolly good fun! 

[All] 

Discussing the details of your diarrhoea, 

Giving your best friend gonorrhoea, 

Sticking your tongue in the vicar's ear 

It's taboo, it's taboo, it's taboo! 

[Liza] 

Telling Madonna she's obsolete 

[Adèle] 

Sniffing Boris Johnson's bicycle seat 

[Dillie] 

Asking Oscar Pistorius "Do you miss your feet?" 

[All] 

It's taboo, it's taboo, it's taboo. 

[Dillie] 

So if you ask me if taboo is crazy convention 

I have to say yes, I have to say yes 

And if you ask me if... 

/spoken/ 

we'd've included all the other taboos that we read about, 'cos we did an awful lot of research for writing this song - we read Freud and Kant and Young, and there were lots and lots of other taboos we wanted... 

/sung/ 

... to mention 

I have to say no! 

[Adèle and Liza] 

Oh why, man? 

[All] 

Because they're taboo! Whoo!
