My mojo's working
in reverse.
That voodoo woman was
taking the piss
I do believe
when she made my charm.
I can almost hear her laughing.
Now my arms are empty,
my head's a mess,
bricks in my belly,
heart in my arse
and my ball-busting balls damn near
ready to burst.
My mojo's working
in reverse.
O where are the girls
long-legged and fine
with the mind-blowing hips
and the lips of wine,
magnificent-eyed
and funny and smart?
Lordy lor'! -
how it tears me apart
but the common garden
Not If You Were
The Last Woman Breathing
And I Was Full Of
Viagra-Laced Tequila And Heat
And Psychedelic Drugs
variety
descend en masse.
And it's getting worse.
Here's a fat divorcee
hanging close as a curse
making doe-eyes at me
from her podgy pink pus.
My mojo's working
in reverse.
It's like living in Kirkcaldy: hell -
only uglier still; and duller.
Are my shrivelled cock and I over the hill?
Is my lady luck a goner?
And can we skip this whole minging middle-aged minger
schtick and call it quits? -
because I'd sooner be a fleshless fucking
stiff than live like this.
O where are the girls
long-legged and fine
with the mind-blowing hips
and the lips of wine,
magnificent-eyed
and funny and smart?
Lordy lor'! -
it tears me apart.
O yeah.
O no.
Mojo.
