lyrics

Take me down
Like a leper at the dinner table
Who's just double dipped
and left his finger tips floating in the pate
Take me down
Like a millionaire at the homeless centre
Who's stolen Henrietta's bread roll
and now he's slurping on her soup

Take me down
Like Sister Mary at Sunday school
Who's just taught the girls that Jesus rules
and now their panties are down, ready for internal inspection
Take me down
Like the magistrate, who by day convicts Johnny for some coke
and by night, like to poke
Rent boys while crashing ketamine

Take me down
Like the useless father that I am
Who's gambled the Christmas fund, and when I won,
Spent the winnings on champagne and two Latvian hookers
Take me down
Like the useless waste of space that I am
The lying, cheating, no good loverman that I am

Take me down
