Current song lyrics
I am tall and I am thin<br />Of an enviable height<br />And I've been known to be quite handsome<br />In a certain angle and in certain light<br /><br />Well I entered into O'Malley's<br />Said, "O'Malley I have a thirst"<br />O'Malley merely smiled at me<br />Said "You wouldn't be the first"<br /><br />I knocked on the bar and pointed<br />To a bottle on the shelf<br />And as O'Malley poured me out a drink<br />I sniffed and crossed myself<br /><br />My hand decided that the time was nigh<br />And for a moment it slipped from view<br />And when it returned, it fairly burned<br />With confidence anew<br /><br />Well the thunder from my steely fist<br />Made all the glasses jangle<br />When I shot him, I was so handsome<br />It was the light, it was the angle<br /><br />Huh! Hmmmmmm<br /><br />"Neighbours!" I cried, "Friends!" I screamed<br />I banged my fist upon the bar<br />"I bear no grudge against you!"<br />And my dick felt long and hard<br /><br />"I am the man for which no God waits<br />But for which the whole world yearns<br />I'm marked by darkness and by blood<br />And one thousand powder-burns"<br /><br />Well, you know those fish with the swollen lips<br />That clean the ocean floor<br />When I looked at poor O'Malley's wife<br />That's exactly what I saw<br /><br />I jammed the barrel under her chin<br />And her face looked raw and vicious<br />Her head it landed in the sink<br />With all the dirty dishes<br /><br />Her little daughter Siobhan<br />Pulled beers from dusk till down<br />And amongst the townfolk she was a bit of a joke<br />But she pulled the best beer in town<br /><br />I swooped magnificent upon her<br />As she sat shivering in her grief<br />Like the Madonna painted on the church-house wall<br />In whale's blood and banana leaf<br /><br />Her throat it crumbled in my fist<br />And I spun heroically around<br />To see Caffrey rising from his seat<br />I shot that mother fucker down<br /><br />Mmmmmmmmmm Yeah Yeah Yeah<br /><br />"I have no free will", I sang<br />As I flew about the murder<br />Mrs. Richard Holmes, she screamed<br />You really should have heard her<br /><br />I sang and I laughed, I howled and I wept<br />I panted like a pup<br />I blew a hole in Mrs. Richard Holmes<br />And her husband stupidly stood up<br /><br />As he screamed, "You are an evil man"<br />And I paused a while to wonder<br />"If I have no free will then how can I<br />Be morally culpable, I wonder"<br /><br />I shot Richard Holmes in the stomach<br />And gingerly he sat down<br />And he whispered weirdly, "No offense"<br />And then lay upon the ground<br /><br />"None taken", I replied to him<br />To which he gave a little cough<br />With blazing wings I neatly aimed<br />And blew his head completely off<br /><br />I've lived in this town for thirty years<br />And to no-one I am a stranger<br />And I put new bullets in my gun<br />Chamber upon chamber<br /><br />And I turned my gun on the bird-like Mr. Brookes<br />I thought of Saint Francis and his sparrows<br />And as I shot down the youthful Richardson<br />It was St. Sebastian I thought of, and his arrows<br /><br />Hhhhhhhhhh Mmmmmmmmmmmm<br /><br />I said, "I want to introduce myself<br />And I am glad that all you came"<br />And I leapt upon the bar<br />And shouted out my name<br /><br />Well Jerry Bellows, he hugged his stool<br />Closed his eyes and shrugged and laughed<br />And with an ashtray as big as a fucking really big brick<br />I split his skull in half<br /><br />His blood spilled across the bar<br />Like a steaming scarlet brook<br />And I knelt at it's edge on the counter<br />Wiped the tears away and looked<br /><br />Well, the light in there was blinding<br />Full of God and ghosts of truth<br />I smiled at Henry Davenport<br />Who made no attempt to move<br /><br />Well, from the position I was standing<br />The strangest thing I ever saw<br />The bullet entered through the top of his chest<br />And blew his bowels out on the floor<br /><br />Well I floated down the counter<br />Showing no remorse<br />I shot a hole in Kathleen Carpenter<br />Recently divorced<br /><br />But remorse I felt and remorse I had<br />It clung to every thing<br />From the raven hair upon my head<br />To the feathers on my wings<br /><br />Remorse sqeezed my hand in its fradulent claw<br />With its golden hairless chest<br />And I glided through the bodies<br />And killed the fat man Vincent West<br /><br />Who sat quietly in his chair<br />A man become a child<br />And I raised the gun up to his head<br />Executioner-style<br /><br />He made no attempt to resist<br />So fat and dull and lazy<br />"Did you know that I lived in your street?" I said<br />And he looked at me as though I were crazy<br /><br />"O", he said, "I had no idea"<br />And he grew as quiet as a mouse<br />while the roar of the pistol when it went off<br />Near blew that hat right off the house<br /><br />Hmmmmmm Uh Uh<br /><br />Well, I caught my eye in the mirror<br />And gave it a long and loving inspection<br />"There stands some kind of man", I roared<br />And there did, in the reflection<br /><br />My hair combed back like a raven's wing<br />My muscles hard and tight<br />And curling from the business end of my gun<br />Was a query-mark of cordite<br /><br />Well I spun to the left, I spun to the right<br />And I spun to the left again<br />"Fear me! Fear me! Fear me!"<br />But no one did cause they were dead<br /><br />Huh! Hmmmmmmmmm<br /><br />And then there were the police sirens wailing<br />And a bull-horn squelched and blared<br />"Drop your weapons and come out<br />With your hands held in the air"<br /><br />Well, I checked the chamber of my gun<br />Saw I had one final bullet left<br />My hand, it looked almost human<br />As I raised it to my head<br /><br />"Drop your weapon and come out!<br />Keep your hands above your head!"<br />I had one one long hard think about dying<br />And did exactly what they said<br /><br />There must have been fifty cops out there<br />In a circle around O'Malley's bar<br />"Don't shoot", I cried, "I'm a man unarmed!"<br />So they put me in their car<br /><br />And they sped me away from that terrible scene<br />And I glanced out of the window<br />Saw O'Malley's bar, saw the cops and the cars<br />And I started counting on my fingers<br /><br />Aaaaaah One Aaaaaah Two Aaaaaah Three Aaaaaaah Four<br />O'Malley's bar O'Malley's bar
