Lyrics

Germany

Better son, better son I know I should have been a better son Makes me feel like the one, the one Surrey, surrey Sat in the dark in his latter days Makes me feel pretty strong, strong Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Murder, murder You said you're too soft for murder Makes you feel pretty strong, strong Can't lay, can't lay Mother of two kids from Adelaide Makes you feel pretty strong, strong Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Ha, ha, hey Balling upon the laudanum Medicine, medicine I know that I need some medicine But it won't make me feel strong, strong Holiday, holiday I know you want to go on holiday But it won't make you feel strong, strong
