"Lives Left Out To Dry" lyrics

When Dodger left Susan stopped caring
How could you blame her as she fetched the tubes and fetched the paper
Things escalated rather quickly, a tumbler went down
She died quietly watching Strictly Come Dancing

Cosmic love bore cosmic sadness
Green eyes sublime, she came alive with a machine gun and a dachshund
Having been remade in my literary blue
I've said my piece but I've made peace to stand and speak when I am spoken to

Two up, two down, inherited frown
There's a mood going round and the rumours abound
There's a gap in your mystery, Marple
There's a fly in the soup of your soul
You undoubtedly have been exposed
As a milquetoast keyboard warrior
Sheepishly you bleet until the cow comes home
Till the cock cries crow
Till the goose gets loose
Pain is the admission fee into your new life

Holding aloft a handful of grenades
Green eyes protruding bare feet on sandstone
It's a common law marriage of the mind
Sober and sincerely a commedia dell'arte
Don't you start
Them lives left out to dry
like bedsheets on a clothesline through which the sun shines
The sun shines through
Bonfires on a beach we beatify
Them beatified bonfires on a beach we dance around in dreamtime

Two up, two down, inherited frown
There's a mood going round and the rumours abound
There's a gap in your mystery, Marple
There's a fly in the soup of your soul
You undoubtedly have been exposed
As a milquetoast, as a keyboard warrior
Bah bah sheepishly you bleet until the cow comes home
Till the cock cries crow
Till the goose gets loose
Pain is the admission fee into your new life

Unborn child of my imagination
Death comes to those who wait for it
Unborn child of my imagination
Death comes to those who wait for it

When Dodger left Susan stopped caring
She died quietly watching Strictly Come Dancing
