Lyrics for A Swallow on My Neck

Oh, oh, oh... I have been smashed again With the men From the Old Valhalla Road Crematorium Boring men with the same old patter I am a simple man Not much to gain or lose And I don't know why I held out so long for me and you Until he drew A swallow on my neck And more, I will not say He drew A swallow, deep and blue And soon, everyone knew Then I was wrecked again With the men full of bluff and ardour From a well-known funeral parlour I am a simple man Not much to gain or lose "Older and wiser" Never applies to me And so he drew A swallow on my neck And more, I will not say He drew A swallow, deep and blue And soon, everyone knew You have been telling me That I have been Acting childish Foolish, ghoulish, and childish Oh, I know, I know, I know I know, I know But I don't mind I don't mind I don't mind Ah, I don't mind...
