lyrics

Flies in the Letterbox

It didn’t work after a while
Neither did you
Convinced of your genius
You promptly shot through
I sent you love letters
Almost every day
And fixed my letterbox
With a deathly gaze

I thought love would travel round so easy
But all I did was fall in love with that letterbox

I shared that letterbox
With a platinum blonde
She had a rear that stretched
from Bulls to beyond
She had a giant dog
the neighbours loved to feed
So in our letterbox
They’d pile their gravy beef

I thought love would travel round so easy
But all I did was fall in love with that letterbox

That meat would sit all day
rotting in the sun
And like my heavy heart
it would start to run
I’d find your love letters
in a pool of blood
Til each time I opened them
I felt like throwing up

There were always flies on your love letters
I blamed the dog but it was just a sign of things to come
There were always flies on your love letters
I blamed the dog but it was just
a sign of things
to come ...
