Album: Respect (1993)

  • The old man, he was flesh-they wheeled him in upon a trolley
    Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
    Draw a window on his skin
    This old man, he was next-blindfolded to face the volley
    Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
    Love will come of all our sins
    Painted on my tail fin now Vera Lynn
    This old man preserved-in his mind he lay with Molly
    Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
    Septicemia always wins
    Cleanse us with your healing grin now
    Vera Lynn
    Coma high, coma low
    Blood is precious, yes or no?
    I believe in surgery-and that's a fact
    I believe in making it easy
    I believe in surgery, but I never act
    I believe in making it easy
    Easy...
    This old man, he was gone-he was gone and I was sorry
    Vera Lynn, Vera Lynn
    Down I spiral, down I spin
    Forces sweetheart, I'm your twin now
    Vera Lynn
    Yip
