Warning - Årabrot

Nobody laughed when they lynched and dropped him in the Thames

Nobody cried either, the body all bloated when they pulled him out

They made a harp of his bones, the harp sound so deep

It resonated all the way to the underworld

And even the dirty old egg sucking dog heard a note

It was so many years ago, a kingdom by the sea

They stabbed the old wife for a week, repeatedly

She was accused of pinching holes, a benchmark exercise

They stabbed her for another week when she didn’t die

They stabbed her for another week, she didn’t die

Out of her holes, out of her holes, the past seeped right out of her holes

Heed yourself

A hundred syringes plunged into her spine

But her holes were really hard to find

And when they finally hit the spine

It was hard to cover the holes, poor woman
