lyrics

Pages of the ages, made just for age 18 ageist
A populist she is not, but her drive to work sets apart from the rest
Flowers sigh and tug at her heels
They want her company
Writing microscopic into the dirt, all heard is a whistle no matter how hard the ears are strained
Pages of the ages
All the rage with ageists
Atheists ignore
In big shirts that warn: NO SEX!
I've completed the image, it's hard to be said
All well of emotion, dreading non-articulate devotion
Oil well's worth of it
Shell it, ship it, wretch it
Now connect the two
You got triple A's running the show
Everyone's too good with words; showboat
Winklepickers, plenty of snout
Corn on the cob, spices about
Only you, only you, only you only you
have the power to be contemptible!
Not me, cause I've got a beret.....Like. Rik. Mayall.
