[bad word] has a cute tattoo of a mermaid on his back
‘Madness lies just under the skin’ – the mermaid told him that,
‘Cos she started whispering from the moment she was born.
He walks the beach all night long ‘cos she loves to hear the ocean’s song [bad word] loves to paint and draw, copies the labels from his old 45s,
Or go get juiced in some [bad word] bar, he likes to do that too sometimes,
But she just goes crazy if he even looks twice at some girl.
There’s a speck of light way out at sea,
She says take me there, it’ll be just you and me ….
The moon bobs on the water like a lilo, [bad word] paddles out to sea.
When they find him next day, floating in the shallows,
His tattoo’s gone and the mermaid is free …
