The Sound of Communism

And every cloud went round in double time
And every hound sat down and caught the eye
Of every human who was any kind of person
Who deserved to see the world in bloom

Not everyone I knew liked technicolour
Leave the greens and blues and every other
Sad reminder of you with my great grandmother
I never really knew her but she's family

Oh when the family plot is full of bodies
Dump me in the spot I always wanted
When the cavalries got no one to worry
I'll be ducking a ten gun salute

Well that's a really nice dress where did you get it
I had one just like this but I got in wet
And you can see right through it I'm full of shit
And no one wants to get shit on their hands

So wash my body and my trendy haircut
In the lobby of the Holiday Inn
And when valet prangs my Ford again
Jonathan ain't having fun today

It's four AM, it's not! It is! It isn't
Take this ballpoint pen and shove it in
I never liked the sound of communism
Call me lazy but I hated working there

And every fear I had came true at once
A giant spider web in the Midlands
Oh I was only ever having fun
And though I'm soaking wet I don't regret a thing

I pissed my pants is what I meant just now
In case you didn't understand how
A full grown man like me could nearly drown in wee
