Oh Teesh and I’ve been living in one room flat
above a pizza joint on the ‘T’ of Webb Street
Titia she’s been stressing about her one-year lease
because there’s no relief and she’s used up all her funds
Oh Titia’s boyfriend’s chefing a super-yacht
but he snores a lot so he’s curled up like cat
on the day-bed warming whiskers in the sun
to move out will take a miracle
to move out will take a miracle
the tenancy tribunal is still ruling on our case
to move out will take a miracle
to move out will take a miracle
the tenancy tribunal is ...
O’ Teesh and I’ve been living in one room flat
with just a trusty amp and the moon for hi hat
Teesh and I’ve been trying to get the fridge replaced
But the guy we chased, well, he moves at snail’s pace
To move out will take a miracle
To move out will take a miracle
The tenancy tribunal is still ruling on our case
To move out will take a miracle
To move out will take a miracle
The tenancy tribunal is …
to move out, to move out, to move out, to move out,
to move out, to move out, to move out, to move out,

Giant Octopus

I started fretting, started loosening the webbing
On the tank and soon was heading to my new life
O’ giant Octopus
I slithered out that slimy tank, crawled past the car yards
and the bank to start my new life as a man
in humble Napier
O’ Giant Octopus
O’ Giant Octopus
O’ Giant Octopus
I love you
I met a girl down at the mall who said my tentacles enthralled
in ways unrivalled since the school ball
O’ darling Octopus
We started illustrating men, I’d squeeze the ink, she’d work the pen
Just goes to show you can do anything with the right octopus
O’ Giant Octopus
O’ Giant Octopus
O’ Giant Octopus
I love you
O’ Giant Octopus
O’ Giant Octopus
O’ Giant Octopus
I love you
And it’ll be you and me in Meeanee, it’ll be you and me in Meeanee
And it’ll be you and me in Meeanee, it’ll be you and me in Meeanee
And it’ll be you and me in Meeanee, it’ll be you and me in Meeanee
And it’ll be you and me
