Oh you are a mucky kid, Dirty as a dustbin lid. When he hears the things you did, You'll gerra belt from your Dad. Oh you have your father's nose, So crimson in the dark it glows, If you're not asleep when the boozers close, You'll gerra belt from your Dad. You look so scruffy lying dur Strawberry-jam tats in yer 'air, Though in the world you haven't a care And I have got so many. It's quite a struggle every day Living on your father's pay, The bugger drinks it all away And leaves me without any. Although we have no silver spoon, Better days are coming soon Now Nelly's working at the Lune And she gets paid on Friday. Perhaps one day we'll have a splash, When Littlewoods provide the cash, We'll get a house in Knotty Ash And buy your Dad a brewery. Oh you are a mucky kid, Dirty as a dustbin lid. When he hears the things you did You'll gerra belt from your Dad. Oh you have your father's face, You're growing up a real hard case, But there's no one can take your place, .... Go fast asleep for yer Mammy. Notes

Brent Spiner People have countered "No more guns" with "No more cars,then." They say, "more people are killed by cars than guns". Big difference. Cars kill, it's true. But guns murder. And when a car kills someone it's usually referred to as "an accident". Murder isn't an accident.

I always knew that you would take yourself far from home as soon as and as far as you could go. By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair and the army issue green for the past eight weeks I could tell where you've been. For I knew I could see it was all cut and dried to me there was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins, there is a world out side of your room and when you meet it promise me you won't meet it with your gun...

Ebenezer: [singing] I don't know anything, I never did know anything, and now I know that I don't know, all on a Christmas morning.

Take a look at my body Look at my hands There's so much here That I don't understand Your face saving promises Whispered like prayers I don't need them I've been treated so wrong I've been treated so long As if I'm becoming untouchable Contempt loves the silence It thrives in the dark With fine winding tendrils That strangle the heart They say that promises Sweeten the blow But I don't need them No, I don't need them
