People asked me if the song was about anyone in particular. Yeah. You! Featuring Anna Atkinson on both violin and accordion!
lyrics
You're such a funny bastard and your humour is befitting one from 1953.
What a gallant, lusty dastard - you're the focus of all pity.
Such comeuppance, sure to be.
And it's such a revelation when you've fallen off the wagon.
No, you'll never catch that dragon, Arthur - put that sword away!
Oh, you're such a funny bastard,
Now just do us one more favour: pack your bags and sail away!
What's the underlining factor to your "pleasantries" acquitting, planted
from such rotten seed?
Preaching hate, you're a malcontented pastor.
From your pulpit's grimace, spitting through your crooked, yellow teeth.
And it comes as no surprise when your rep meets its demise,
Your Diablo tail is dragging `tween your shaky little thighs.
Oh, you're such a funny bastard,
Now just do us one more favour: pack your bags and sail away!
