Unreconstructed - Momus

Banged up in the clinker with a milkman for a mate

I must 'ave 'ad it coming but I don’t prognosticate

The Sweeney doing ninety with the sirens and the lights

And me in striped pyjamas and the Tottenham tights

She’s the last of a dying breed a diamond under stress

In a time when yes means no and no means yes

Well she’s not much of a looker and her father is an 'orse

But I like to get my oats without using any force

It’s an orrible world

Well I’m a tad unreconstructed, that I will admit

But I do believe in socialism on a Friday night

I take my lady down the Castle, hit the brandy hard

Then it’s bouncy-bouncy stabby-stabby

Down the knacker’s yard

It used to be a struggle but you knew just what to do

Everyone read Dworkin so you ad to read er too

She said sexual intercourse is just naked aggression

You said «That is sadly true but it’s also self-expression»

It’s an 'orrible world

Well you might as well 'ang for a sheep as a lamb

That’s what I always say

And it’s up the patriarchy in the manly month of May

But they’ve abandoned revolution and your barnet’s thin and grey

So it’s down the hatch, up the crotch, cheers and bombs away

In an 'orrible world, can’t get no joy

With political girls
