| SPILT BEANS |
they'll do you down - and they'll do it again
when all the dead body heavyness splits your spine
what's your game - what's his line
late home - no TV
walk with the zombies - talk to the sea
sand in your shoes - money in your jeans
it's no good crying over - spilt beans
offer you assistence in the firm's vans
with the stupid stories and the bad dream lovers
clean socks - love their mothers
and the ghost train trashed the tunnel of love
fingers bleed - better wear your gloves
and wave on wave of germoline
says no good crying over - spilt beans
poison pens and begging letters
finger bells - ding ding ding
like they was in some sort of sling
paidback - with just one look
a prayer wheel and a big fat book
tells you not to be clever but clean
and close to the real meaning of the beans
the magnificent seven - the terrible ten
lord rockinghams eleven and the famous five
three men in a boat - the good lady wives
twelve apostles and the fiddlers three
ten green bottles and the three degrees
and all the oval teenage beauty queens
crying about everything but - spilt beans
to the annorexia housemaid's knee
who made groovy gravy oh mother of meat
since we've wed all I do is eat
to fat to fuck - sorry about that
i got a scrotum fitted with a thermostat
switch in the kitchen - giggle and scream
don't let me hear you - spilt beans
