Analysis of Remorse
Tony Woodward 1946 (Cheshire)
Squeaks open an eye
Decides to lie
In this soft bed
whilst the head
Sez, don't move,
FOR GODS SAKE!!
Don't move
For, to move is to die
Drowned in a sea of pain
Walking iss verboten,
Ahhh Jesus a world of pain
A round of bread and butter
Is a miracle, oh yay, oh yay
Der fog may lift,
Who knows,
Even worse, who cares
I tell you now,
I care.
And yet, the night before,
Was all and more
I was de man
Mit der worldt
In der handt,
Polyglot came easy,
Any body any language,
No problemo, eh,
A chinese girl
Said, nee how mah,
Me said, pretty damn gud, eh
Der Polyglot
C'est moi,
Une Carton de Moet
Came my way,
Delivered by two dudes
One day
A life, alcohol,
A life, good times,
A life, stupide,
Remorse,
of course,
Do it again???
