I Am Falconetti Lyrics

I am Falconetti
And I shed no tears
For the English clergy that brought me here
I weep silently for Billie


I am Falconetti
And God spoke to me
He said "cry no more for Jimmy Five-Bellies, save your tears for Billie"

Hospital radio to the Breakfast Show
The flames kiss my golden curls
I kissed a thousand girls
Lord, I was a sinful man
When I was a kissogram

Now I'm Falconetti
Just a peasant girl
Keep those gringos away from me
When I cry my tears
As I die up here for Billie

Hospital radio to the Breakfast Show
The flames kiss my golden curls
I kissed a thousand girls
Lord, I was a sinful man
When I was a kissogram

The light entertainment deity was betrayed on the pro-celebrity golf circuit by one of his own posse. At the thirteenth hole, the DJ accepted the gift of betrayal, laughing mirthlessly to himself, just like Tony Allen did whenever he thought about abstract expressionism.

Hospital radio to the Breakfast Show
The flames kiss my golden curls
I kissed a thousand girls
Lord, I was a sinful man
When I was a kissogram

Hospital radio to the Breakfast Show
The flames kiss my golden curls
I kissed a thousand girls
Lord, I was a sinful man
When I was a kissogram
When I was a kissogram

Now I'm Falconetti
Now I'm Falconetti
Falconetti

"Cry no more, Jimmy Five-bellies". That guy was Gazza's best friend and a non-ebrity in the TFI Friday era, which is decried in this song.

Thanks for posting all these, Bart - I'm listening for the first time and your work here has made it a lot easier to get the thrust of the narrative.
