Letra A Great Blow For A Day Job de Skyclad original
Hear my tale - I'm norman normal, always humble, mild and meek. In my bank a lowly banker - run-down brach on nowhere street 'till one day a stranger called - a fetid bible black he laughed, Said 'Sonny I don't want your money, I don't need an overdraft. Boy you have a great potential, don't you let it go to waste. My offer ends - so it's essential that you hurry on (make haste!). For a life of milk and honey sign along the dotted line... Thirty years of girls and money - at the end your soul is mine!' No one can dissuade me - I'm donw on my knees, My conscience says 'No' - my libido 'Yes please!' If I put my pen to paper for eternity I'm damned. If I don't I'll never be the singer in a fiddel band. Can anyone blame me? - I don't think they'd dare, My soul says 'No way' - But my mouth cries 'Oh yeah!' Here I am - your good friend norman, not so humble anymore. Others age - but I look younger, stronger that I did before. I used to drive a Fiat Panda - now a lime green Cadillac. Guess my story goes to show not all the 'devils' own' dig black. I know there is a price I must pay for my thirty years misspent, When my satanic manager recoups my soul (100%). I'll meet him at the crossroads, midnight chimes - my time has come To party with the 'porno-queens' down by the shores of acheron. I'll party on in acheron! No one could dissuade me - I fell to my kness, My conscience said 'No' - my libido 'Yes please!' I have put my pen to paper and eternally am damned, I've squandered my immortal soul by singing in a fiddle band. Could anyone blame me? - I don't think they dare, My soul said 'No way' - but my mouth cried 'Oh yeah!' 'Evil I did dwell - Lewd did I live' - It's a small price to pay for the gift that he gives. Was it all worth it? - I'm too drunk to tell, I swap my cocaine for the brimstone of hell. The end.
