The version on the inner sleeve of Keynsham (as often happens) is slightly different from what's actually performed on the album. However the printed words do fit the live version on Unpeeled. This is a transcription of the Keynsham performance.

I'm going to get you in my tent..tent..tent..tent..tent
Where we could both experiment..ment..ment..ment..ment
Yeah, yeah, yeah it's so convenient..ent..ent..ent..ent
Let's take a taxi to my tent
Oh yeah my love is so inscrutable
In a Stoic sort of way
But my baby is as beautiful
As a tourniquet
I'm gonna
I'm gonna
I'm gonna
I'm gonna
I'm gonna
I'm gonna
I'm gonna get you in my tent..tent..tent..tent
Wow oh oh it's only common sense..sense..sense
I know that you won't mind the stench..stench..stench
Of the Sacrament
I won't let this love destroy her
I can't control this paranoia
I'll have to get a showbiz lawyer
To stop me
Kill, smash, bash, thrill, spill blood, fight, bite, scratch, scream, tear, spit, shout: TENT TENT TENT
Here I am laughing like a lunatic
That just got away: (laughter)
Howling like a hypocrite
At an Auto-Da-Fe
I'm gonna get you in my tent..tent..tent..tent..tent
Find out where the Woozle went..went..went..went..went
We'll fill his footprints with cement..ment..ment..ment..ment
Then dance the Tango in my tent
