I Wish Marvin Gaye’s Father Had Shot Me Instead

Lyrics

I dreamed that I was speaking in the House of Lords And I was heckled by a porcupine I was naked and I had no arms Dancing to "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" Woke up perspiring and picked up the phone Someone told me Marvin Gaye was dead I felt so bad I felt like suicide I wished Marvin's father had killed me instead I closed the wardrobe door and that was that But wild erotic fantasies concerning Postman Pat Would not leave my head while I was in thе shower As I defaced thе picture of him on my talcum powder As I reached for my clothes the Prince of Darkness then Appeared to me amongst my underwear I closed my eyes and found he was still there With flecks of foam around his lips and barking An angel burned the day that Marvin died Like egg encrusted helicopters falling from the sky God spoke to us and we were mystified When all around us eggs were hatching little wailing demons An angel burned the day that Marvin died Like egg encrusted helicopters falling from the sky God spoke to us and we were mystified When all around us it was twenty years ago today
