Sally and Shank didn't know romance Sally was ugly and Shank was rank But Shank didn't have anyone else to thank Sally would drink and Shank drank Shared a squat on a building site Had no rats if they killed them right Home for a home but it didn't feel right No mans land where the children fight The day he begged and Sally she tricked The shops they lift, and if they were slick Sometimes they robbed, the pockets they picked From squat to squat, the pigs they evict Sally was lonely, Shanks wasn't there Shanks would bone and Shanks didn't care Thinking if only he wasn't there Having to roam, the cupboards were bare Sally was gin and Shanks was sky Shanks was absent, she always asked why She'd ask the truth and Shanks would lie You would have thought that Shanks wanted to die Been out all night in a drinking den Safe to say he wasn't thinking when Got back home about six a.m Lay next to his wife comatose agin The alarm went off, got the fright of his life Said "dammit, I gotta get home to my wife" She'd had enough of the cheating and strife Threw the phone in his face and picked up a knife Screamed in his face, "where the hell have you been?" Hit him in the head with a rolling pin He went down like a bowling pin She sat in the kitchen with a bottle of gin Who does he think that he's kidding in ridding The woman by which he was bitten You're getting the picture, you know that he's smitten He's sitting, he's thinking his thoughts are forbidden, he's wishing Who does he think that he's kidding in ridding The woman by which he was bitten You're getting the picture, you know that he's smitten He's sitting, he's thinking his thoughts are forbidden, he's wishing She called up her brother said "you got to come over" Five foot six not the heaviest load Rolled up his body in back of the Rover Dumped in the river now Shanks it's over Drove off and waved to the corner You know they felt bad for the loner Thinking that he was going to hell to roam But in fact it was only a coma He woke up feeling the pain of a dagger Got to the surface and out he staggered If he wasn't before then now he was haggard Headed to the centre in search of a lager Got to the centre and begged on the street Had a little nap on the hard concrete Can of special brew then back on his feet Sat back down, held his head and weeped Who does he think that he's kidding in ridding The woman by which he was bitten You're getting the picture, you know that he's smitten He's sitting, he's thinking his thoughts are forbidden, he's wishing He's open the lid, you're hoping he did Wherever he hid, he could never get rid The feeling's appealing, concealing the healing The villain is still up for killing for shilling You know when he's down in the gutter, he utters A word to the wise and he stutters, he mutters He's eating his bread and his butter, say's f*ck it No luck and its making him shudder, it's shut In the back of his mind, lacking the time Attacking the crime, hacking the mind He walks, he roams, always alone He chips his own tomb stone Who does he think that he's kidding in ridding The woman by which he was bitten You're getting the picture, you know that he's smitten He's sitting, he's thinking his thoughts are forbidden, he's wishing Who does he think that he's kidding in ridding The woman by which he was bitten You're getting the picture, you know that he's smitten He's sitting, he's thinking his thoughts are forbidden, he's wishing
