lyrics

So you want to win the parking wars
Get the top job
Despite your fatal flaws
Get away with screwing your wife’s flying monkey
Retire early to a place in the country
Get the rewards with none of the work
Leave your detractors in a world of hurt
Burn down the church while your ex gets re-wed
Seem to punch above your weight in the bed
If you want some nasty business
Or you need some dirty tricks
I’m your man
Wear Father Cotton’s cassock the wrong way round
Paint an eye on the nose of Coco the Clown
All you need to do is follow these lines
When you’ve replaced your skin with lemon rind
Put a fly’s heart in the empty shell
Of the bullet Hitler used to shoot himself
Swallow it whole while saying the spell
Cross my heart and hope to Hell
If you want some nasty business
Or you need some dirty tricks
I’m your man

Can you smell Daz and Benzedrine?
I’m here to assist with your evil scheme
I’ll serve it you on a plate to eat
Can you taste dirt and rotten meat?
You put a foot wrong when you worked the charm
Now it will cost you a leg and an arm
And you head and your heart
And your soul and your balls
I’m dragging you back through a crack in the wall
If you want some nasty business
Or you need some dirty tricks
I’m your man

Members continued in music separately in bands as diverse as The Cuban Boys; Network23 & Now Zero. Briefly reunited to revisit the joys of the old gothic. Not the same as the new gothic ... more
