Oh ...
i have been smashed again
with the men from the
old valhalla road crematorium
boring men with the same old patter
I am a simple man
not much to gain or lose
and i don't know why i held out
so long for me and you

until he drew
a swallow on my neck
and more, i will not say
he drew
a swallow, deep and blue
and soon, everyone knew

then i was wrecked again
with the men full of bluff and ardour
from a well-known funeral parlour

i am a simple man
not much to gain or lose
older and wiser
never applies to me

and so he drew
a swallow on my neck
and more, i will not say
he drew
a swallow, deep and blue
and soon, everyone knew

aah ...
oh ...

you have been telling me
that i have been
acting childish
foolish, ghoulish and childish
oh, i know, i know, i know !
i know, i know, i know
but i don't mind
i don't mind
i don't mind

ah ...
i don't mind
ah ...
