nitrogen pink
and a whole load of wednesdays
they're these sweet rotting memories
that keep you alive
nitrogen pink, please
throw me a moment
just to get my composure
and to stamp on a fly
and the boys had their pearls
and the girls had tobacco
and everybody was laughing at you
singing 'isn't it, isn't it, isn't it
such a funny old world
the way tragedy strikes?'
nitrogen ink
and a whole load of aednesdays
they're these sweet rotting memories
that keep you alive
nitrogen pink, please,
throw me a moment
just to get my composure
and to stamp on a fly
and the blind man was seeing
clouds all grey until
the weatherman blew his rain away
and nobody, nobody, nobody
make a sound
nitrogen pink
and a pill for my breakfast
and a bag full of ketchup
that he spilt on his tie
nitrogen pink
for the unwritten bible
that is mad mad dog's survival
till he kicked it up in the flames
and all the education, daddy
it never paid because
the fat man, he took my innocence away
and i thought, and i thought, and i thought, and I thought
you said these streets were all paved with gold
nitrogen pink
for the real captain redbeard
for the unlikely pianist
the sad and the gay
nitrogen pink
for the man in the corner
for the pig at the slaughterhouse
the sweet melody
played slot machines,
got so rich then we lost it
found the hole a my pocket
crack a smile, we're ok
that long drive home
nothing much ever after
nothing hurts more than laughter
man, i wish you could be here
nitrogen pink
and a whole load of wednesdays
they're these sweet rotting memories
that keep you alive
nitrogen pink, please,
throw me a moment
just to get my composure
and to wave you goodbye
