Rupert Holmes - Puffer's Confession lyrics

[PUFFER] Oh God, have mercy: your forgiveness do I need! My string of sins ends here with this most dreadful deed! I only meant to save my Rosa, but it?s true? Oh, you ba*tard Jasper! Christ, I meant to murder you Could I see my Rosebud threatened By this man of ma**ive sin? He?d revealed his vile desires So I had to do him in! To my endless ruination I took smoke to see me through In my sweet hallucination I saw Drood ? and thought him you! So I say to all who hear me You must plan a murder well You must view your victim clearly As you send him off to Hell! When I k**ed, 'twas well-intended Drink and smoke what did me in For my sins, I'm apprehended: Them's the wages of sin! (Spoken) Come on. Give your old love some help with the last line then, 'ey? [Puffer & Audience] With the wages of sin! [Puffer (spoken)] Cor bloody 'ell! Don't you know they 'ang women these days? This is undoubtedly me last chorus! [Puffer & Audience] With the wages of sin!
