Hi, Ilan,
I think that your transcription is pretty good. I made a stab at it, but I'm not sure my transcription is any better than yours. Here's what I hear:

EILEEN JAMESON'S EXPERIENCE
(Alasdair Clayre)

Out of the frying pan and into the fire,
But fed to the teeth with pleasure and desire,
I'm going to renounce them, and go and be a nun,
With my friend Sandra, it won't be fun,
(Refrain:)
But it's bound to be better than this,
I mean, Anything,
Compared with this would be bliss,
Practically...

This time last year, I cared about boys,
Sandra says my experience has given me poise,
But I've had men, there's either not enough,
Or far too much and you [ne'er??] get rough,
(Refrain:)
I think old age would be better than this,
I think, Anything...
Compared with this would be bliss,
Practically...

I kick lump stones as I slouch along the beach,
happiness is going to be always out of reach,
I'm going to renounce it, and go and be a nun,
with a sackcloth dress on, and my hair in a bun,
(Refrain:)
because it's bound to be better than this,
I mean, Anything...
Compared with this would be bliss,
Practically...
