a middle aged man from Spain in designer jeans asked me to write him a song so i said i'd write him several and he could choose one.
this is what i've come up with this morning

then he turned to me to say
i assume you are au fait
with the chef's superlative souffle

now he's really lost his mind
he's built a tunnel into time

if you go to the Mandalay
be sure to order the parfait

it was at the all you can eat buffet
when he turned to me to say


i'll never bow to the goblin lord
not as long as i can hold a sword

he said brain swap brain swap, brain exchange

i said if you know how to rhumba
would you join me for this number

she said pleased to meet ya
let me finish this margarita
and then i'll show you how to dance

brain swap, brain swap, brain exchange

he was a Titan of Trade, a Titan of Trade

his name was Mario, he was an Impressario of the barrio
if you need contraband then he's you man
if he can't get it no one can

he said paradise is round the corner
that was the first time i saw tony's sauna
i said its so hot and steamy
he said i think youre dreamy

i first met Cassandra
having drinks on the veranda
she looked at me like a snake looks at a mouse
her tongue flickered out in greeting
i said isn't this a lovely evening

he said pain is weakness leaving the body
and if you want to get jacked
you have to push it to the max
dont rest and dont relax
you got to push it to the max

he had muscles like the gods of mount olympus
he had muscles on his toes and fingers
and he said if you want to be like me
you got to push it to the maxxx

it was in a villa in Majorca
that i first met the sultan's daughter
she had eyes full of mystery and smoke
she said well hello stranger
i said you look like danger

i saw a skeleton in chains
i saw the land howl in pain
i saw river posioned with oil
i saw the harrowed toxic soil
we need to save the planet
for peter paul and janet
and for me.

i was one of the chosen, i was the number one
until i flew too close to the sun (that's right!) i flew too close to the sun!

it was the scimitar of Samarkand
it travelled with that caravan
through the deserts of Central Asia
to end up forfeit for a wager
that's how i came to hold it in my hand

it was a forest of mist and whispers
it was a place of moss and pine
she told me not to resist her
she told me she would be mine
she was not a creature of the flesh
she was a ghostly form
but when she pressed me to her
she felt so nice and warm

she looked at me as if she were my mother
she said as well you as another
it wasn't quite romance
when she thrust her hand inside my pants

this is like early Eliot "portrait of a woman"

chilling slices of bourgoisie life from an insider

i dont follow fashion i dont chase fads
im drinking lager with the lads
when times are good when times are bad
im drinking lager with the lads
bring me your poor and needy
bring me your huddled masses
tell them to raise their glasses
we're drinking lager with the lads
i dont need love dont want romance
im drinking lager with the lads
