Man next door came round one night
   to ask me for a drink
   i said i didn't anymore
   he said, 'that's what you think'
  
   a tendril curled around his leg
   as he got up to leave
   he said, 'a friend of yours was here
   but we all call him steve'
  
   clean steve
   clean steve
   they don't come any dirtier than me
   better watch out all you space cats
   clean steve is a mineral man
  
   my cousin bruce came round to stay
   the father of my son
   he tore apart a stethoscope
   and pointed at the sun
  
   'there's tentacles between our worlds,'
   he said, 'so i believe'
   i said, 'the man next door's best friend
   was making videos with clean steve'
  
   you could have knocked him down with a feather
  
   clean steve lent me a pound
   in nineteen seventy-four
   that was a lot of money then
   i was extremely poor
  
   we had a party three years later
   clean steve wore a robe
   he brought a new nick lowe cassette
   and played it in the road
  
   clean steve
   clean steve
   they don't come any dirtier than me
   better watch out all you space cats
   clean steve is a mineral man
  
   i called up mark ellen
   but he wasn't really in
   instead i talked to his wife claire
   about some gigs she'd seen
  
   clean steve was outside the house
   watching both his feet
   we all had dinner with him once
   he gave us lots to eat
  
   there's some real people in the world
   and some who are pretend
   clean steve is making videos
   with the man next door's best friend
  
   he's good at playing frisbee
   and his teeth are shining bright
   i think he comes from liverhead
   if all my facts are right
  
   clean steve
   clean steve
   they don't come any dirtier than me
   better watch out all you space cats
   clean steve is a mineral man
