We’re those two dreadful children; we’re always very bold. We make a special point of never doing what we’re told. We’re those two dreadful children; we search and we destroy. We do a lot of damage for just one girl and boy. We’re those two dreadful children; we delight in causing pain. We once tied up the housemaid and we beat her again and again. And, when she came 'round again, she made as if to shout So we got a bunch of flowers and we stuffed them in her mouth. We’re those two dreadful children; our parents can’t control us. Between us we’re so dreadful no reform school will enroll us. We’re those two dreadful children; so watch out for her and me. We’ll put thumbtacks in your slippers; powdered glass into your tea. ---

It’s a world of acne, a world of germs. It’s your brand new dog coming down with worms. It’s the notes being played By a cockroach parade, It’s the real world after all. It’s a world of ulcers, a world of cysts. It’s the hole in the road that you never miss. It’s the cheap underwear Creeping up to your hair, It’s the real world after all. ---

Lipstick gleam, Hexachloraphine, Cling-cling the ring, clang-clang, she sang. It’s tragic magic. There are no coincidences. But sometimes, the pattern is more obvious. ---

A cigarette that bears a lipstick’s traces An airline ticket to romantic places And still my heart has wings These foolish things remind me of you A tinkling piano in the next apartment Those stumblin’ words that told you what my heart meant A fairground’s painted swings These foolish things remind me of you You came, you saw, you conquered me When you did that to me I knew somehow this had to be ---

We said goodbye with a highball Then I got as high as a steeple But we were intelligent people, no tears, no fuss Hooray, for us So, thanks for the memory Of sunburns at the shore, darling, how are you? You might have been a headache, but you never were a bore I’m awfully glad I met you, cheerio and toodle-oo And thank you so much ---

Well look at you Hands full of money you always wanted to have Saying sweet life is a downright drag Down to the very last seed in the bag As if it’s never gonna end And the scene is through Summer slipped under in this neighborhood I’d like to hold onto you if I could But now I’m gonna have to let you go for good My disenchanted friend They say that character you play is rising fast So you get drunk, make a half-second jump And experience it as the past But this is it, the closer you get The deeper you go, the tighter the net looks to me ---

You see, she was gonna be an actress And I was gonna learn to fly. She took off to find the footlights, And I took off for the sky. And here, she’s acting happy, Inside her handsome home. And me, I’m flying in my taxi, Taking tips, and getting stoned… ---

Now, John at the bar is a friend of mine. He gets me my drinks for free. And he’s quick witrh a joke, or to light up your smoke. But there’s someplace that he’d rather be. He said, “Bill, I believe this is killing me,” As the smile went away from his face. “For I’m sure that I could be a movie star, If I could get out of this place.” ---

She boarded the boat and turned and blew me a kiss And later on, when the squad car came ‘round I ate a handful of peanuts and I told ‘em this "I don’t remember much, except just keep your hands on the wheel’’ “Just drive,” she said, “Just drive,” she said ---

\*And then in 1966, on March the 7th day A bloody great explosion made Lord Nelson rock and sway He crashed and Dan O’Connell cried in woeful misery “There are twice as many pigeons now that will come and sit on me” So, remember brave Lord Nelson, boys. He had never known defeat. And for his reward, they blew him up, In the middle of O’Connell Street. \* Explanation: This was a jokey song by Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers, about the old statue of Lord Nelson that used to stand in Dublin’s O’Connell Street, next to a statue of Irish patriot Daniel O’Connell. Nelson’s statue was blown up by the IRA in 1966. ---
