Lyrics

Poxy Lips

[Verse 1]

Far down the river

Out in the darkness

Something's out there

Soft red heart

[Chorus]

Aye aye, my merry lads

It's a lively tale, this to tell

Give it a taste, it's worth bottling

We'll do some dancing here!

[Verse 2]

Black spot, white wigs

Sophistication

Lace cuffs, thick fingers

Test the fine steel

[Chorus]

Aye aye, my merry lads

It's a lively tale, this to tell

Give it a taste, it's worth bottling

We'll do some dancing here!

[Verse 3]

Gently the blade slides

Thru sweet white flesh

The warm blood falls

Fills the glass up

[Chorus]

Aye aye, my merry lads

It's a lively tale, this to tell

Give it a taste, it's worth bottling

We'll do some dancing here!

[Verse 4]

Tracks in history

Like piss in the snow

Poxy lips foul breath

Just get up and go!

[Chorus]

Aye aye, my merry lads

It's a lively tale, this to tell

Give it a taste, it's worth bottling

We'll do some dancing here!

[Spoken]

Diseases epidemical in this country

Are tyrannical oppression

And the want of necessities of life

No. A Merry life and a short one

Shall be my motto. Woooo!
