Oh Lordy Lordy (improv) & The Bobcat Blues

This song wasn't actually intended to be as crass as it might seem. Too bad.



Oh Lordy Lordy (improv)

my sister got raped
by a murderer
my sister got her cherry
all popped
my sister ain't got no
protection
my sister went and asked
the lordy

she said
oh, lordy lordy
won't you give me some freedom?

oh, lordy lordy
won't you give me some love?

I've been in this world eighteen years
I ain't been fucked once before
but now, I got a baby on the way

oh, lordy lordy
give me some freedom

oh, lordy lordy
what should I do?

'cause those fuckers
take me down
when I try to kill this baby
I don't want you any more
I never wanted you in the first place
but you mother fuckers had to do it didn't ya?
you raped me like a baby raped a sausage..
fucker!


...And here's a somewhat nicer one for all you chumps out there

Bobcat Blues

No I can't stand it no more
when I sat down to read the morning paper
I hear they're building another mall
now I don't want to be one of those haters
but baby won't you hear me out

they got roads
they got the trains
they got high-rise buildings
water mains
but baby when it all comes down
just where, where we gonna go?

I see limousines
and some buses
pourin' out the old hotel
the driver, he ain't nervous
as he plows into a gaol cell

No I just can't stand it no more
when I sat down to read the morning paper
I hear they're building another mall
now I don't want to be one of those haters
but baby won't you hear me out

I got knife wounds in my back
I got the needle in the arm
and I'm just one of the many
that they raped, tortured and stole

straight from the pages of a rusty old man

do you have work tomorrow?
I know a beach not too far
and it's never too crowded
the forecasts say showers
but they're often wrong

drink red wine and smoke
and lie in the sun...
then when it gets dark
just take the ferry home



it's four AM and raining
I'm trying to get some sleep
thinking about my life
and these girls I met on the street

but now it's time to leave them
and I make my way outside
chasing rainbows in the dirt
seeing shadows in the snow


when I sang my first song
to the river alone
it was like she could hear me calling
she burst out her banks
deprived man of his throne
and signed me a golden letter

when I told my passion
to my very first kiss
she held me hostage for years
it's hard to admit
that a love such as this
should be my only poison

when I saw myself
in the God up above
I just couldn't keep writing
this vision it seems
to fit like a glove
and I fear I can never go home

don't take it from me

will I ever see you again?
we spoke the other day
you ran after realising it was me

god, have I sinned?
"do what you want"
was all he said

so I stalked a chilli girl
but somehow never saw her
now time's ran out
and that chilli girl's already been replaced
