Friends

'you know a wise man once said, never judge a book by its cover, always read the whole thing in the bloody book shop and then decide if you wish to purchase it. A friend of mine was judged, he was a bit of a dirty book, he was a necrophiliac who killed his partners, is that wrong? You see.'

He was quiet, he was shy a stay-at-home sort of guy

Someone you'd trust your sister with he had a twinkle in his eye

But they said he was psychotic

They called him psychotically disturbed

They said he was mentally unbalanced

They called him a schizophrenic mass murderer

With severe fractious personality disorders

They used their jargonistic words so he killed and mutilated

Served his victim on a tray but Dennis Nielson was my friend, OKAY?

Tuesday nights we'd go out bowling and he'd blow those pins to hell

He'd watch what he'd eat and it watched him as well

'Coochie coochie coo, time to go to sleep'

He was my friend, a friend, we can all be friends

If we just let this little hurt between us mend

Let me tell you about my friend, boys

I met him at the circus he was hiding in the dark

Pulling funny faces, making people laugh

Yet they say he was a freak, they say he was genetically deformed

They should have sold his body to science the minute he was born

But he'd just smile and say, "(slurp! slurp!) I think you've all been very kind."

Yes, yes, John Merrick, the elephant man was a friend of mine

'Why doesn't that come as a big fucking surprise'

And we'd all go out on blind dates hessian bags over our heads

We never slept like normal kids, no, we'd sit straight up in bed

He was my friend, a friend

We can all be friends

If we just let this little hurt between us mend

He was a painter, quite artistic he had that suave panache

A tasteful brown shirt, a cute toothbrush moustache

He loved his German Shepherd and walking by the babbling brook

And watching blond haired, blue eyed children setting fire to their books

Yet they say he was a monster, the leader of the Reich

But Adolf Hitler he was my friend. Alright? Alright!

And he'd love to go out dancing, really dug the human league

And that song by Alice Cooper "Only Women Bleed"

He was my friend, a friend, we can all be friends

If we just let this little hurt between us mend

Friends, friends, we can all be friends

If we just let the little hurt between us mend

He killed 10 million of the petty bourgeoisie

But Joseph Stalin was a friend to me

Some say he shot the president is that crime

Lee Harvey Oswald was a friend of mine

He was considered the scourge of eastern Europe

But Ghangis Khan was my good rocking buddy

She was cute her closes barely fit her

But Myra Henley was my baby-sitter

Charlie Manson never killed Sharon Tate

He was lucky chucky to his mates

David Karesh never died in that fire

He's our friend our buddy our messiah

Jack the ripper gave his heart to me

Idiah Min and I played quoits

Margaret Thatcher was a pitcher not a catcher

Nori Ager was a friend of mine

Pol Pot was a friend of mine

Pina Shey was a friend of mine

Michael Jackson was a friend of mine

'Whoa, whoa, whoa, time!'

'I just think he's very talented'

'You push you fucking push until you get some sort of reaction from people!'

'good taste bad taste! you push the fucking line every time!'

'I'm sorry about that. If people found that line about Michael Jackson offensive there, Um lets just look at it logically for a second there rich, you and Michael Jackson best friends right? The only other friends he's got in the world are a chimpanzee and a gazelle. That's you, a chimpanzee and a gaz.yeah that sorta makes sense'

'You're just jealous because he's taller that you, and whiter, and nicer'

'Don't point, you do not point, it's fucking rude to point, don't fucking point!'

'No mummy don't put knitting needles in my ears mummy, No mummy don't put knitting needles in my ears mummy, Mummy don't put knitting needles.oh, oh'

'Can't we love one another? Even Eidopus had a mother'

Friends friends, we can all be friends

'Everybody clap your hands, clap your hands for all the children in the world, lets share this moment forever, nobody can take it away, no-one will take this moment away, stop clapping'

If we just let the little hurt

'Bloody Richard fucked up the song again'

'Can you leave Richard alone for five seconds'

'I DO! I just tell him we're moving the furniture around the house'

Between us.

'That's funny cause I tell him we're taking his temperature'

Friends friends, friends friends, lets be friends
