A five pence fine is right and proper —
and to sum up my defence
it was his fault he came a cropper:
CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE!

I am one of a team
of Iraqi weapons inspectors
currently travelling through the United Kingdom
under very difficult conditions
searching for weapons of mass distraction.

My wardrobe is like a garden
oh, I don't know how I've got the gall!
my wardrobe is just like a wardrobe —
it's not like a garden at all!

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was Gotcha!

It first was a rumour dismissed as a lie
but then came the evidence none could deny:
a double page spread in the Sunday Express —
The Russians are running the DHSS!

Hitching up the M11
coming back from a Dexys gig
got picked up 'bout half eleven
by this bloke in a funny wig

He wanted me to beat him up!
It was an open invitation!
Late at night he picked me up —
an act of open provocation!

So thin, and yet...
so thick.
