Ballad For The Touch-Deprived 

I went to the doctor to examine my foot
It felt mistreated by a kinky boot
I took my shoe off and I felt his hand
It must have been the first time since I joined this band

I called the masseur to rub my back
His name was Jacob but I call him Jack
I felt self-conscious while removing my clothes
I lack human contact I ‘m afraid it shows

I’m living my life in perfect bliss
Though there’s one thing I truly miss
I sing this ballad for the touch-deprived
If you hold my hand I’ll be revived

I went to the shop to try on a dress
I wished to dazzle and impress
When the salesgirl came to zip me up
Her sudden touch made me jump

Oh yeah it made me jump

I do shiatsu with a girl named Clare
I pay good money in return of care
And when she presses my meridian points
I hear the groan from all my joints

I’m living my life in perfect bliss
Though there ‘s one thing I truly miss
I sing this ballad for the touch-deprived
If you hold my hand I’ll be revived
