I’ve put you together Like all the king’s men And split you asunder Again and again
It's no small wonder Your pieces don’t fit And that prospective owners Described you as "shit"
There’s a lump in my throat And a hair in the gate Met the man at the tip who said "Not that skip mate!"
I drove away blinking And blamed it on dust But I felt I’d betrayed Your pine-effect trust
