the half of it: twats


ay you ay you mae ere ay you ay ay you
ay lissen ayou lissen' no ay ay you mae twa

my hand a hammer and i'm tanked up ready to roll
this street's a stockade and i'm gunning for gold (liquid gold)
holes fit for heroes fill mine in down at the dole
this head this bottle come to blows come to blows


i'm in the sally army bang that drum bang that fuckn drum
hallelujah queen and country i'm a bum
fuckn scum giro guerilla war on want duty free
i'm loaded esso blue iou tnt
yeh gimme a tea - (t)
ased givus a tea - (t)
angimme a w - (w)
angivus a a - (a)
wassa? - (twa)
wassa? (twa)
wassa? wassa? - (twa twa)
street fulla - (twats)

i've lapped up heaven on the front line
laid down my life in '44 (and '45)
i'm punch drunk there's still a war on (it's live live live)
give me full monty evermore (fight the good fight)

shellshock disabled army ~~~~~~ cain it must be cain
to absent friends cut the throat then down the drain
lest we forget this firewater rattlesnake on the brain
rate of exchange root of evil will repay will repay

i'm in the sally army sign that pledge sign that goddm pledge
jesus saves collection plate roof over head
onward christian soldiers searching as to war
we offer you the chance to give before we take it all by force

so: gimee a tea - (t)

i've lapped up heaven on the front line
laid down my life in '44 (and '45)
i'm punch drunk there's still a war on (it's live live live)
give me full monty evermore (fight the good fight)

i'm social worker undercover sas knight of the road
avenging angel out of pocket humble servant rag and bone
keep up the spirit bottleneck and flood the throat
light up my lucifer god bless i like a blow (oh no!)
