Serves them bloody right,
for Hank to chop off their heads!
Kate and "Nan the Whore".

Sonny's a rent-boy

Sonny's a rent boy,
always collecting his dues
down at Neverland.

A daily basis;
carrot juice every morning.
It keeps me going.

Messing with numbers,
creates much frustration for
the math-disabled.

So just take your pick
and stick it where there's no sun -
Way down in the mine.

Way down in the mine,
small birds in wire cages die,
sacrificial lambs.

Sacrificial lambs -
Nowhere near as stringy as
sacrificial sheep.

in a dinky Ford
or a fair dinkum Holden,
lovers take back seat.



* Holden = GM vehicle in Australia.

Lovers take back seat.
Policemen shine their flashlights,
love can be blinded.

Love can be blinded
by wearing glasses too dark
or maybe too bright.

Or maybe too bright,
the daylight creeps through curtains,
wakes me before six.

Wakes me before six,
shakes me just after seven.
Let me die in peace.

your awful nagging!

Your awful nagging
complements your sagging skin
and fold-away chin.
