The Singing Loins - Slab O' Slate lyrics

Unloved kid get no slab o' slate* Steal a tile from the old church roof Press it in the dirt, bow your heads Don't forget to make a mark, scratch a heart For the unloved kid Unloved kid get no slab o' slate The unloved kid Cherish him, spare a tear Offer him simple things; Cheap possessions. Scatter them So you remember where he lie, where he lie The unloved kid Unloved kid get no slab o' slate The unloved kid Pull wild flowers, make a daisy chain Gather round, try a holy song; Make it up out of words you heard Pause a while, try a prayer in the mud and rain For the unloved kid Unloved kid get no slab o' slate The unloved kid Crow come down from the poplar tree Seen it all in his old black eye Rip the lace, steal plastic rings Disturb the place. But he can't fly no heavy stone From the unloved kid Unloved kid got his slab o' slate The unloved kid Unloved kid got his slab o' slate Unloved kid Unloved
