In Trouble!
Oh brother, are you in trouble!
Believe me, Baby, when I catch up with you...
You’re gonna be a riding some right real drenching rapids...
All the way down into the old estuary!
And getting into bends like you’ve never imagined!
Oh boy, are you gonna get reimbursement!
Even though me foot’s sore, me spirit drained,
Exhausted in body, mind and emotion,
Soul destroyed...at least times four!
Footed it twice!
Driven to drink and drugs!
And me money spent!
I’m lucky I ain’t been arrested for loitering...
On railway stations and around people’s houses!
I lost me sense of humour a fortnight ago
And let me tell you, it’s gonna take some finding!
Yeah man, there’s gonna be One heap of ripples
Travelling across that old lake!
And the airport express won’t be making no stops!
There’s gonna be Angels crying in heaven, Darling...
When I get a hold of you!
You wanna look into my eyes?
You’ll be lucky, sweetie-pie!
But you’ll be seeing sunrises
And sunsets like never before!
That nursery rhyme you’re sitting on?
Might get a bit bumpy!
Grrrr!
How that brilliant multi-layered-multi-faceted thing!
Has all but destroyed me!
Oh, don’t worry, Baby,
There ain’t gonna be no cross words!
Cos I don’t do’em...not for years upon years, hell!
I figure it like this, one’s got curves,
The other’s straight!
You’re not different?
You’re just wicked!
No-one touches you, no-one comes even close!
You really take the biscuit, Baby!
And you know which brand!
I’m knackered!
