lyrics

ABC & SHE

Apart from missing the
essential elemental skill
that comes in handy when applied to
a certain kind of cutting-up technique,
which one sometimes borrows
from this guy called Burroughs,
I can’t say I’m quite unique
in overestimating man’s abilities
to underestimate the toughness
of his very own physique.

Yesterday, at the DIY HQ,
I sliced my finger by mistake,
and thus this finger started vomiting
streams of blood, in all directions.
I got soaked in red substance,
and had to swim to the kitchen,
and cling to the sink
screaming for help.

Then luckily there was She,
rowing towards me.
With scissors, cheers, and yells of support.
And bountiful boxes of band-aid.
Bob Geldof nowhere in sight, of course.
But yes, She,
the true Mother of All Band-Aids,
saved me from drowning as such.
So, thank you.
Thank you thank you, thank you.
Very. Bleeding. Much.
