letra de overstrand - the divine comedy

Loading...

i reside in prince of wales drive
in a mansion block named “primrose”
with constant hot water it’s got all it oughta
behind victorian windows

but nonetheless, i must confess
i’m looking for something grander –
if you could see it, you’d agree
it’s better to be an overstrander

if one rich hag should like my gags
and drunkenly drag me to bed in overstrand-
“stand still while i take your picture!”
i would give her the negatives
if she could deliver the keys of overstrand
(and then i would evict her)

oh! to be one of the bourgeoisie
living in luxury south of the river

i’ll flirt and philander
i’ll take huge back-handers
i just want to be an overstrander

if that won’t work, i’ll lift my shirt
for a certain dirty old man in overstrand
and i’ll see that he is happy!
when he’s dead, his will-
instead of bequeathing it to his in-breds as planned-
will hand overstrand to me!
and see that i am happy!

i’ll ponce, i’ll pander, i’ll gerrymander –
i just want to be an overstrander!

beware, miss clark!
a walk in the park
in winter the darkness can fall so fast
you may lose your way, and slip into the river
no-one will guess that beneath this false chest
there’s a gentleman dressed up as you-
i’ll fool them all!
the men will call, and i’ll make them quiver!

i’ll lie, i’ll slander, i’ll write for the evening standard
i just want to be an overstrander!

…please?
