Peter Walsh - Hand Me Ups lyrics

Mend Amend Bring and rub Beat the band I tried I tried Shrugged off the splintering white bone Teeth shaken out with a stroke Brain running down along spear From the wound in the eye hole Stones pounding in Past the screens Past the shields I felt the nail driving into my food While I felt the nail driving into my hand Rub a dub God and bring Beat the band I tried I tried What? When you can't hear the bleating all night Else he's strumming the springs of his cot When? What you can't see is Her tiny mouth Squealing and shrieking with laughter Dispensing With each little toe Each little finger Let them whirl away into the darkness The pee pee soaked trousers The torn muddied dress No ankles at the gates at dusk Ever caught the dawning The audience is waiting Its audience is waiting Its audience is waiting Its audience is waiting No Fado live from last year's winning country Twelve bunnies in a hutch for nine new weeks The audience is waiting Its audience is waiting Its audience is waiting Its audience is waiting And it will catch my toes It will catch my fingers The pee pee soaked trousers The torn muddied dress Forever and ever Forever and ever Forever and ever Forever and ever Mend Amend Bring and rub Beat the band I tried I tried Shrugged off the splintering white bone Teeth shaken out with a stroke Brain running down along spear From the wound in the eye hole Stones pounding in Past the screens Past the shields I felt the nail driving into my food While I felt the nail driving into my hand
