Eleven Executioners

歌詞

Eleven top hats In the club vestibule Eleven gentlemen's cloaks Hanging up by the black swimming pool Eleven gentlemen dancing Each in a style of his own One is discreetly conversing On a cordless telephone And the first he kills only the wicked And the second kills only the good And the third he kills people more handsome than him And the fourth kills the misunderstood And the fifth kills the women who've loved him And the sixth kills the couldn't-care-less The seventh kills people who fill questionnaires in The eighth kills the deeply depressed And the ninth kills the twentieth century And the tenth waits to kill you and me The eleventh kills only our fear of the tenth The best executioner he At some ungodly hour in the morning The predictable quarrels begin The first gentleman without warning Slugs the second one square on the chin And the third says the fourth is too ugly And the fifth warns the sixth not to start And the seventh stops dead in his telephone call A stiletto has punctured his heart And the eighth is sick in the cistern And the floodwaters fuse all the lights And the ninth drops his copy of 'Jane's Defence Systems' on the floor In an act of sheer spite And the tenth drums his fingers and swings his feet Because somebody's stolen his scythe 'Til an expert in brinksmanship brings him complete A medium range nuclear device And now chairs will be placed on the dance floor And now lights will be trained on the bar And a puppet will sing a morality As an idiot strums a guitar While the gentlemen sit with erections You perform in a transparent skirt A climax without satisfaction And a murder in which you're not hurt And me, I sit where the gentlemen sit And we love you And we love you Yes we love you I assure you we do La la-la-la la la-la-la .....
