I don't want no blood on my lawn
I don't want no God on my lawn
One of the few times when the real lyric is stranger than the one I heard! Another line in the same lyrics, 'Mary dropped her pants by the sand and let a parson come and take her hand' (at least I never misheard THAT) has to be the weirdest line in any 1970s popular song, although the strangely-blasphemous (for a Christian folk singer) 'I don't want no God on my lawn' runs it close.
Mary dropped her pants by the sand
And let a possum come and take her hand
But the soul of nobody knows
Where the possum goes.
Where does the possum go?
Mary dropped her pants by the sand
And let a parson come and take her hand
But the soul of nobody knows
Where the parson goes.
Where does the parson go?
And the rent's in her ears
And the rent's in arrears
The flies in your head, you take them to bed
The files in your head, you take them to bed
There's a five minute break and that's all you take,
For a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cack.
There's a five minute break and that's all you take,
For a cup of cold coffee and a piece of cake.
Your balls in your hand, your tables are bent
The files in your head, you take them to bed
And if I ever lose my head
And if I ever lose my hand
I asked the paper light.
I asked the faithful light.
"MoonShaow"
And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth will fall out
And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth - north and south
And if I ever lose my head
And if I ever lose my hands
I'm being followed by a munch adder
Munch adder, munch adder
I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow.
I'm being swallowed by a big sparrow....
I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow.
