Porcupine razor

Palatine Mill

Garbage on a laser

Monkey on the hill

Dive me through the bottom

Climb me through the chill

Got a gabardine sausage

Platinum pill

Get a new lover

Spiritual lie

Shining on cable

Cussing all the time

Stink brown cupboard

Guinea pig's eye

A skinny old lover

Porcupine pie

It's raining on a Sunday

I've been shooting on the job

I'll be dying on a Monday

See me jumping like a hog

Soft poke Jigger

Dread blue bone

Big jewel dagger

Soft black foam

See me building for the future

See me saving for the dawn

Got another woman

Better all the time

I've been weeping on a sleeper

I'm a skiving on the raise

Skeeting like a cheater

Looking hunger in the face

Mr Ulysses

Tell me where you been

I stole some kisses

From your dark-eyed queen

Been to Philadelphia

Seen you in your gown

Papa was a sailor

Way across town

Your papa was a sailor

Your mama was a tramp

Your sister was Ophelia

Your brother ran a bank

I've got another woman

Way across town

I see her in the evenings

When I'm down

Calling on a woman

Calling on the Lord

Saying it's been a long time

Open your door

Take off your clothes, Lord

Lay down on the bed

Answer all my prayers

Like the Bible said

I've been riding on a tiger

Only go the way

Old pale fire

Never fade

Soft poke Jigger

Dread blue bone

Big jewel dagger

Soft black throne

Raining on a Sunday

Shooting on the job

Dying on a Monday

Squealing like a hog

Stink brown cupboard

Guinea pig's eye

Skinny old lover

Porcupine pie

Get a new lover
