Thread Name: Lyr Req: death in a nut?
Subject: death in a nut?
I heard a song about a year ago and I think it was called 'death in a nut'. It was about a bloke whose mother was dying so he thought he would kill death to stop her dying. He came across death, beat him up a bit and stuffed him in a bottle, corked it with a nut and threw it out to sea. When he arrived back home he found his mother was still alive but nothing else could die also. So he goes back to the sea, finds death in the bottle, uncorks the bottle, apologised for his rudeness and lets death go. Of course, when he goes home, his mother is dead but the natural order of things had been re-established. Great story. Anyway, does anyone have the words or knows where I can find the story.
