The Demon Plasterer

from Head in the Sand by Muddy Suzuki

lyrics

Thanks for listening this far
and I hope that you are amused by what you hear.
But if you're expecting insight
I would recommend you have a look elsewhere
because I'm not so sure that what I think is worth its weight in ink,
nor time it takes to sink into your head.
You're better off with Proust instead.
Please don't put me on a pedestal as I will only wobble off
and we will have to cough to cover my embarrassment.

If one plus one equals two, what about you?
When you drink tea under a tree, isn't it me?
Why mustn't a gnome take out a loan on his new home under the Straits of Dover?
Who put the 'p' into psephology?
Kind of questions running round and round in my mind all of the time.
(Time to time)

Here is something 'bout myself:
I'm ruining my health and feeling on the shelf.
(BOOM BOOM)
So my overdraft is used to subsidize the booze that keeps away the blues
and brings them back again and muddles up my brain.
A state of public shame that I could do without.
Regressing fast into a lager lout.
Stick your head into the sand, my friend.
If you're worried 'bout your nasal hair or ragged underwear upon your
(BOOM BOOM BOOM)
You could say that I'm exaggerating
while I'm badger-baiting in the morning sun.
If this song has any point then
pass around the Jointace tablets for your knobbly kneecaps.
Time for a re-cap.
(One more time...)
Stick your head into the sand, my friend.

I've got nothing else to say.
