Lyrics
I have been smashed again
With the men from the old Valhalla road crematorium Boring them with the same old patter
I am a simple man Not much to gain or lose And I don't know why I held out so long for me and you
Until he drew a swallow on my neck And more I will not say He drew a swallow deep and blue And soon, everyone knew
Then I was wrecked again With the men full of bluff and ardour From a well-known funeral parlor
I am a simple man Not much to gain or lose Older, wiser Never applies to me
And so he drew a swallow on my neck And more I will not say He drew a swallow deep and blue And soon, everyone knew
You have been telling me That I have been acting childish Foolish, ghoulish and childish Oh, I know, I know, I know I know, I know But I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind
