A penny for the ferry man
To sail the river styx
Across the murky
Waters the dead man sits
"Why won't he die" I ask
"He lost his way" He says
"And since he's disembarked
That's were he's sat"
Not saying anything, not hearing anything
Just mumbling about his coin
Not understanding, not comprehending
Just repeating the same old line
Stuck on the shore
The ferry's gone away
"Follow me" I say
"I know the way"
"Have you got my coin?" he asks
"Follow me" I say
"Well if you see that boatman,
Tell him I want it back!"
Not saying anything, not hearing anything
Just mumbling about his coin
Not understanding, not comprehending
Just repeating the same old line
Not understanding, not comprehending
Just repeating the same old line
Just repeating the same old line
Just repeating the same old line
Just repeating the same old line
Just repeating the same old line

What has she done?
She's flaunting her rank
In the deep end
Is she screaming pain
Rape the willing
Plan the cigarette
(Chores)
Take a look at her now
Take a look at her now
She's got her head in the ground
Take a look at her now
Look at her now
Just look at her now
She's wading out
I think shes gonna drowned
Oh what have you done
How appropriate
In this establishment
Have you ever had a pet?
In a way I hope it's not myth
They lie awake to live with this
How does your life draw on for you
(Chores)
A complaint for every comment
And did I mention give me attention
I hoped it dragged on 'till mornings open
And not a single sigh for prevention
(Chores)

Spinning the key around
Spinning the key around
Backwards and upside down
Destroying the peace I've found
Just spinning the key around
Spinning the key around
Backwards and upside down
Destroying the peace I've found
Just spinning the key around
Spinning the key around
Spinning the key around
Spinning the key
Just spinning the key
Spinning the key around
Backwards and upside down
Destroying the peace I've found
Just spinning the key around

The Apple Orchard

The absent man in the doctors dress
With smiling eyes and spotted flesh
Swore to be there to the breeze
But the wind blew away the leaves
And I stood on tipi-toes
And I reach to where the apple grows
But the ground sunk beneath my feet
And the spotted man slapped my hand
So I turned the other cheek
The absent man amoungst the trees
With salted hair and hawaiian sleeves
Wandered round all in distress
And couldn't find his apple pest
For I had gone and left he fold
To be the shepherd of my own apple grove
And the sky fell into my palm
And the spotted man begrudge my lamb
But will never hear my psalm
The absent man in the doctors dress
With smiling eyes and spotted flesh
The absent man in the doctors dress
With smiling eyes and spotted flesh
The absent man in the doctors dress
With smiling eyes and spotted flesh

Little Johnny Sunshine was a magical boy
Little Johnny Sunshine made his own toys
With a hammer, and a nail, and a tail of a kat
"Well, Nail that sucker let's hit it with a bat!"
Little Johny Sunshine having some fun
Frying his brains out, shot it with a gun
Well, Where's he gonna be when Jesus comes?
Playin Kitty-Kat baseball, Kitty-Kat baseball!
Princess Amy, such a pretty girl
Princess Amy, wanted the whole world
With her hair, and her nails, and a firm tight ass
Well, She was certainly guaranteed all that
Princess Amy having some fun
Three kid no job, should have had a condom
Where's she gonna be when Jesus comes?
Living on Welfare, Living on Welfare!
