The housing association, the MacDonald's seat Have prefixed him on "frustration" I'll stick with the gang of one I'll make a stand with the Ludd gang
Carve a hole in the rain for you Carve a hole in the rain for you
Courage my sweet Courage my sweet Courage my sweet It's the quiet like death It's the choirette of death
Carve a hole in the rain for you Carve a hole in the rain for you
I hate the guts of Shakin' Stevens for what he has done The massacre of "Blue Christmas", on him I'd like to land one on But I'll stick with the gang of one
Carve a hole in the rain for you
Courage my sweet Courage my sweet Courage my sweet It's a quiet like death It's the choirette of death
Carve a hole in the rain for you Carve a hole in the rain for you
(The housing association foiled the reign of the rain) (For this, MacDonald is truly grateful)
Cab driver asks why I'm not at home with my feet put up (Campaigns run amok, brick a window, run amok)
What's, Jap, lorry, back, feather, next, bishops, Ludd gang
