John in Brisbane The Folksinger ? (24) RE: The Folksinger ? 03 Jun 99


The lyrics are truly chunderous aren't they? In fact the more I look through them the more I see the potential of the song as a hammed up equivalent of Tell Laura I Love Her or Teen Angel. A happy ending is just not appropriate for this song however. Tommy needs to die of throat cancer and/or syphillis. Mary Jane could either dance on his grave - or throw herself into it..

Here is my quick attempt at a replacement last verse:

Back for some sex in the mountains again
The folk singer
But Sarah Jane knew she'd get revenge
On the folk singer.
She cut off his balls with a twelve inch blade
Twas cheaper than sending him out to be speyed
Now he sings high praise for his Sarah Jane
The folk singer.
And once again it's love's cutting sting
To the folk singer.....the folk singer...

Regards
John
