Testo Herbert - Madness
Testo della canzone Herbert (Madness), tratta dall'album Can't Touch Us Now
She was further than her father
But I was really rather
Partial to the way
To the way she took her stand
She glanced over his shoulder
Urging me to be bolder
I subtly tried to push past her old man
But he stepped sideways firmly
A brothel wolf from Burnley
I felt like I walked into a brick wall
He menacingly whispered "Sonny Jim
I know exactly where you've been
Stop now or believe me you will fall"
She was the preacher's daughter
A rugby playing porter
Who'd become a wealthy hotelier
Before he got the calling
That fuels his stonewalling
He wants to put me on my derriere
Oh yeah, the wages of sin
There's a big fat bloke trying to do me in
Well I can't hide and I can't run
He's chasing me round with an old shotgun
Well it was some time later
I overheard her pater
Holding forth and splendidly well oiled
Well word is mother's brass
I'll tell you now no lass
Of mine will be sullied or despoiled
By a rotten little Herbert
My princess made of sherbet
And lavender my cupcake coo-ca-choo
My chances getting slimmer
My hopes were growing dimmer
So I grabbed her and I took her in the loo
Oh she was the preacher's daughter
And I really didn't ought to
Have taken her and done what I have done
He wants to take me to the cleaners
For previous misdemeanours
And get me at the hour with his shotgun
And take me at the hour with his shotgun
Oh yeah, the wages of sin
There's a big fat bloke trying to do me in
Well I can't hide and I can't run
He's chasing me round with an old shotgun
Yeah, yeah, the wages of sin
There's a big fat bloke trying to do me in
Well I can't hide and I can't run
He's chasing me round with an old shotgun
He's a menacing shotgun
