The Fratellis

Henrietta we got no flowers for you
Just these three miserable cunts
Sitting on the back seat banging on the off beat
We know you love us and you probably do
Although you’re husband may cut us
He’s such an animal though everything is possible

Give us a kiss and maybe we can go out
It’s hard to miss you when you follow us about
Buy us some shoes and maybe take us for cola
We’ll get you there in some filthy big gondola

Clean out the bank and bump off your daddy
You can come live with us among the has beens
and the addicts
These are crazy times down at Costello music
You can answer the phone and talk nice
Anyway you choose it, come on

Dear Henrietta we’re just three lonely boys
Though the girls love us we’re so
Into you incredibly we’d love to see you terribly
We’d love to hate you but we don‘t have no choice
Come be our wa ha ha ha
Honey, honey three four one time once more

Give us a kiss and maybe we can go out
It’s hard to miss you when you follow us about
Buy us some shoes and maybe take us for cola
We’ll get you there in some filthy big gondola

Clean out the bank and bump off your daddy
You can come live with us among the has beens
and the addicts
These are crazy times down at Costello music
You can answer the phone and talk nice
Anyway you choose it, come on

Clean out the bank and bump off your daddy
You can come live with us among the has beens
and the addicts
These are crazy times down at Costello music
You can answer the phone and talk nice
Anyway you choose it, come on

Tell me where you been to
Point me to the door
I've seen you around
But I really can't be sure
If all the action men are busy
Climbing up the wall
Banging on the window
Tearing down the hall

And the last chance girl
In her first dance swirl
Lays her head down on the wooden floor
Won't be dancing any more

And where do they go when the thrills have gone
The last song plays down in Babylon
Five hundred kids shout "what's the deal?"
It's a very confusing way to feel

The radio is silent
Except for wicked bands
Sounded like the last one
Always in demand
And now the city is off limits
To everyone in blue
Nothing's getting in there
No-one's getting through

And it's no surprise
When the last guy dies
And the girl upon the wooden floor
Won't be dancing any more

And where do they go when the thrills have gone
The last song plays down in Babylon
Five hundred kids shout "what's the deal?"
It's a very confusing way to feel

Well just slow down come on Lupe Brown
Tell Desdemona that I'm ready to leave
Well she's nothing much to look at and she's hard to believe
Don't go down, throw your arms around
Every little psycho that you happen to see
Well you meant everything to them but you meant nothing to me

Well your girlfriend made me itch
And though I'll keep you in mind I would be happy to switch
I don't know where you got that voice
But I would sell it to London if you gave me the choice

Check those old clothes and those red bows
though you're a scrawny pup I would be happy just to cheer you up, oh yes

Well you just slow down, come on Lupe Brown
Tell Desdemona that I'm ready to leave
Well she's nothing much to look at
and she's hard to believe
Don't go down throw your arms around
Every little psycho that you happen to see
Well you meant everything to them but you meant nothing to me

You got nothing I wish to steal
Cause i got nothing to give you on account of Lucille
She don't walk like a cripple should
Well she's Colombia's finest oh, she's better than good
Wednesday's DJs came in side ways
Yelling for the mother of the sister and the brother of Orla the tease

Well just slow down come on Lupe Brown
Tell Desdemona that I'm ready to leave
Well she's nothing much to look at and she's hard to believe
Don't go down throw your arms around
Every little psycho that you happen to see
Well you meant everything to them,
but you meant nothing to me

Well let me tell you something, let me tell you so
This could be the one thing that you really need to know
You got to stop once in a while and shake off that face of yours
Cause nothing comes easy no it just comes free
You could sing it better if you'd sing it for me,
oh sister

Well cannot claim this advice as my own
I learned it in the gutter one night coming home
She said Don't you look ridiculous
I checked her out meticulously
And though I would've stopped to argue
but my teeth were broke
I said I'd love to contradict you but my life's a joke, oh sister

She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
the books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up and here we go
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer, come on

Well I'm a lucky man and maybe so is she
And maybe this is just the way it has to be
It's all based on speculation seems a crazy occupation to me
And though I didn't much believe her I was bound to call
I really didn't want to miss a single thing at all, oh sister

She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
the books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up
and here we go
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer, come on

She said I'm no genius and I've lost my self
the books are on the table and the secret's on the shelf
And it's one time keep it slow wind them up
and here we go
Get it right today and you may still be here tomorrow
Some said she was saintly to some she was a singer
Me I only knew here as an acid jazz singer
I haven't seen her lately man I have to ring her
Put your hands together for the Acid jazz singer, come on

Aahaahaha
Well once I was peruaded to open up my head
I told them how it was and went and got it wrong instead
I said would you believe me if you only knew
I'd been stealing everything this conversations through

And the boy cried hang him at three
I saw him on the front page laughing at me
He worked in a fairground in a tall hat
He's a liar he's a liar and a good one at that
Say what you want to say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey kick like a mule
I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel

So I told them all I could about what could they expect
But I lost my sense of smell and I gained myself respect
They told me I was curious I told them they were slow
They asked me were I get this stuff I told them I don't know

And the boy cried whoopy de dee
There's a woman with a mustache who won't let me be
Though she was born on a monday
She's a hundred and four
She's a liar she's a liar and a little bit more
Say what you want to say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey kick like a mule
I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel

And the boy cried hang him at three
I saw him on the front page laughing at me
He worked in a fairground in a tall hat
He's a liar he's a liar and a good one at that
Say what you want to say what you will
Write your number on my telephone bill
Walk like a monkey kick like a mule
I could be your beggar but i'd rather be just as cruel

Babydoll,
Do you believe they'll catch you when you fall?
And when morning comes
The sun is gonna shine
Don't forget your minor key's
Your half lit cigarette
Cause when morning comes
God knows that you'll be mine

So let me in
I'm ready to beg and to sing for my sins
Not leave it to chance
And sweet coincidence
Well that's just crazy
And you know it's true

Well they said you was long gone
I just laughed and said alright
Bring her home tonight
And I heard you was graciously put on
I just laughed and said good night
Guess it's alright

Babydoll,
The men who hang like flowers in you're hall
Are asking when you're love is gonna show
And who knows why
The love you need will always pass you by
Well I heard it's true
You're love is gonna grow

So let me know
Cause I can stay or honey I can go
Just to wherever you tell me so
And find my place there and there I'll stay

Well they said you was burned out
I just laughed and said come on
She's not burned she's just gone
And it took me too long till I found out
Faces that you know the best
Oh well I guess
And they laughed when you said you was leaving
Everybody knows you well
Cept for me, can't you tell
And you watched from the wings of the late show
Roses by you're feet, of red
All for me you said

Babydoll

Mistress Mabel seriously wrong
Clears my table, badly, then she's gone
Takes a liberty if you let her
Yes she's old but she should know better
Oh dear Mabel please don't put me on

Mistress Mabel all the kids agree
You're unstable curious and free
Wind them down and then keep them kickin'
Sunken eyed and all panic stricken
Oh dear mabel it still worries me

Hem line rat bag so they told her
Last nights name tag across her shoulder
And tell me where all the days have gone
When You rocked my cradle, tell me Mabel
Where'd you go when you can't go on
With this filthy fable, tell me Mabel

Mistress Mabel wont you marry me?
I'm unable to take it seriously
I'll be good and you'll be a minute
I wish you would or I'll drop you in it
Oh dear Mabel wont you marry me?

Hem line rat bag so they told her
Last nights name tag across her shoulder
And tell me where all the days have gone
When you rocked my cradle, tell me Mabel
Where'd you go when you can't go on
With this filthy fable, tell me Mabel
Tell me Mabel, tell me Mabel

She can't help it, the girl can't help it

You can find her scratching around in the dark
Just another candle chasing a spark
You can find her screaming along with the ghosts
Reminds you she's the one you needed the most

And then you're out there on your own again
No one believes you when you lie
I still see all the old girls now and then
Catching the moonlight as they cry

She can't help it, the girl can't help it....

The wrong way round's the right way up when she calls
And can laugh but it won't mean nothing at all
Yes you can find her scratching away in her room
Stumblin' round by the light of the stragglers moon

And then you're out there digging holes again
Six million people can't be wrong
Some day you'll buy the perfect soul and then
you can get back where you belong

And then you're out there on your own again
No one believes you when you lie
I still see all the old girls now and then
catching the moonlight when they cry
