Charlie's Step-father was a Vicar 04:43
lyrics
buy track
Charlie was Ethel's Baby, he was kinda chubby, baby Charlie Charlie was a kid in the'20s, gave it up in the '30s, but never went to war I wear this high high collar not to look down on you, but to keep my head on straight and when I turn and face the high high altar, i'm not turning my back on you, i'm thinking of us all I know you hate me cos you think I'm just a man who stole your mother from you, Charlie Charlie, there's a dog in outer-space and I see tear track on your young wife's face She lost a brother to a stray bombshell, so you can't console her? where's your Father Charlie? I know you hate it, but I'm more than the man who's living with your mother, Charlie something grabs ahold of your belly, it's grip is familiar, but the hand is alien i know you can never call me father. but you know you got one, you a true son. I know you hate me cos you think I'm just a man who stole your mother from you, Charlie I know you hate it, but I'm more than the man who's sleeping with your mother, Charlie Charlie…Charlie…Charlie...

Whistling Past the Graveyard 03:26
lyrics
buy track
here we come, here we go waltzing back, to and fro all over all the globe whistling past the graveyard track suits and track pants sweat shirts and sweat bands big hips and big hands whistling past the graveyard ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba whistling past the graveyard pay the bills, pay the man stare sometime add a friend pile rocks on the sand whistling past the grave yard maybe i could go where kelley darlin has been i could come back in a robe of kelley green i'd be brought low, but what would it hurt? face down in the carpet, teeth free from dirt buy it! burn it! trash it! graveyard graveyard
