Terry Neilson - Eleven Executioners lyrics

Eleven top hats In the club vestibule Eleven gentlemen's cloaks Hanging up by the black swimming pool Eleven gentlemen dancing Each in a style of his own One is discreetly conversing On a cordless telephone And the first he k**s only the wicked And the second k**s only the good And the third he k**s people more handsome than him And the fourth k**s the misunderstood And the fifth k**s the women who've loved him And the sixth k**s the couldn't-care-less The seventh k**s people who fill questionnaires in The eighth k**s the deeply depressed And the ninth k**s the twentieth century And the tenth waits to k** you and me The eleventh k**s only our fear of the tenth The best executioner he At some ungodly hour in the morning The predictable quarrels begin The first gentleman without warning Slugs the second one square on the chin And the third says the fourth is too ugly And the fifth warns the sixth not to start And the seventh stops dead in his telephone call A stiletto has punctured his heart And the eighth is sick in the cistern And the floodwaters fuse all the lights And the ninth drops his copy of 'Jane's Defence Systems' on the floor In an act of sheer spite And the tenth drums his fingers and swings his feet Because somebody's stolen his scythe Till an expert in brinksmanship brings him complete A medium range nuclear device And now chairs will be placed on the dance floor And now lights will be trained on the bar And a puppet will sing a morality While an idiot plays a guitar While the gentlemen sit with erections You perform in a transparent skirt A climax without satisfaction And a murder in which you're not hurt And me, I sit where the gentlemen sit And we love you Yes we love you I a**ure you we do Singing: Rattle tum a gypsum gypsum... Plainy Rattle tum a gypsum gypsum... Clappy Rattle tum a gypsum gypsum... Rolly Rattle tum a gypsum gypsum... Backy Rattle tum a gypsum gypsum... Left Hand Rattle tum a gypsum gypsum... Right! Rattle tum a gypsum gypsum... Touch your heel Rattle tum a gypsum gypsum... Touch your toe Rattle tum a gypsum gypsum... Touch the ground Rattle tum a gypsum gypsum... Big Burlio!
