lyrics

And lo! on the fifth of the sixth


born to be stiffed by the ethics and quarrels


that loathed to see him resting on his laurels


he said, "fuck your morals"


Was his own man for bad or worst


An also-ran spawn of the cursed by sick fate


And finding love a test would surely dictate
that he would pick hate


And time would prove a weapon


His crime would be to breath the air


He would stain the sheets of the Black Country



And in good stead for later life 


he made the bed, his future wife was cooking


a soon come life for them, as she was looking


at the rucking


A class mates ears in either hand


on to the tears he did expand with spittle
The spite inside the phlegm was uncommittal,


so pre-marital


And the pome it had been tasted


'Twas the homophobic, racist flirt


that she would wed in the Black Country



Into the snare of wilted flowers


she rushed to share her youthful hours with learning


that tolerance and reason are for burning


and he's not for turning


And once upon ago the sex


would pretend not to know the hex of violence


The days it would plot treason drunk on silence,


a potent alliance


And a thorn he'd always carry


and still born is what she asked to be


Got divorced from hope in the Black Country



Her sell by date it came and went


Stood at the gate of heaven, bent on boredom,


the born and bred qualifier for whoredom,


he got the chore done


He'd borrow cash and grass his pals


and scratch his rash and ever shall be a user


The empathetic liars down the boozer


they love a loser

But overpriced is such a friendship


and they thank Christ he drank himself to death


He was a boil on the arse of the Black Country



And the despair that had been suffered


offered no prayer for the belated death


of that ugly child from the Black Country


No, they'll mourn him not in the Black Country

(Robert Lloyd / Peter Byrchmore)
