Fancylad, fancylad, |
|
How did you blow your inheritance, fancylad? |
|
Sing me your parents' embarrassment, fancylad |
|
Sing to me your pink-flowering thorn |
|
You never asked to be born |
|
Your woes, they shine like tiny gemstones |
|
What an exquisite collection, such an exquisite collection |
|
Shall I tell you whether they're real or not |
|
Before I cut them to perfection? |
|
The better to bedeck you |
|
What an exquisite collection |
|
Fancylad, fancylad, |
|
How did you blow your inheritance, fancylad? |
|
Sing me your parents' embarrassment, fancylad |
|
Sing to me your pink-flowering thorn |
|
You never asked to be born |
|
Your wound, wherever did you find it? |
|
Wet-petalled like a vagina |
|
Shall I straighten this crooked boutonniere? |
|
It shouldn't be pinned onto your coat |
|
Plant it deep in your heart's hole |
|
Wherever did you find it? |
|
Fancylad, fancylad, |
|
How shall I write your biography, fancylad? |
|
Five hundred diary pages about your dad |
|
Sing to me your pink-flowering thorn |
|
You never asked to be born |
|
You never asked to be born |
|
You'll live, you'll live, you'll live |
|
All cried out like a girl but you'll live |
|
Mama's little mixed-up man |
|
You'll live, you'll live, you'll live |
|
All cried out like a girl but you'll live |
|
Mama's little mixed-up man |
