Thread Name: Origins: Farewell to the Gold (Paul Metsers)
Subject: Lyr Add: FAREWELL TO THE GOLD (parody(
Hungover liver, my head it is aching,
It's weeks since the daylight I've seen.
I'm sitting here thinking "this shit I've been drinking
Is rotting a hole in my spleen."
Chorus:
Farewell to the gold that never I've seen,
Goodbye to the acres of New Zealand green.
I'm feeling quite plastered, my brain is half-masted,
Put me down, you don't know where I've been!
It's nearly two weeks since I left my old lady,
To have a quiet beer with the boys.
With Acid Head Jimmy and Crazy Marie
And Zelda, with her rubber toys:
Farewell to my house, my family, my wife.
I knew I was heading for all kinds of strife.
We really were raving, I knew I was having
The best bloody time of my life!:
We spent the next fortnight in acts of perversion,
Old Jimmy Williams and me,
'Til we heard of a party, where no-one had clothes on.
So we headed down there just to see:
We drank and we chundered for night after night.
Jug after Jug we threw down.
'Til two great big p'licemen took Jimmy away
In a bust at the east end of town:
Farewell lovely Zelda, wherever you are,
Your knickers are still in the back of my car,
And thanks for the games with Marie and with James,
And I hope the rash doesn't spread far:
I make no apologies, it's not my fault. Nothing to do with me at all.
