The Bronze Adonis
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She didn't like the ribe cage / the coat-hanger hips
The razor-sharp shoulder blades / always give her jip
She's reading edward de bono under the palms
He sprays odorono under his arms
I was to say the least alarmed
When the bronze adonis got her...
I lay beneath the parasol / watched him with the chicks
Horsing around with his aerosol / they whispered about his odd trick
"send no cash... fear no man / you can be a love leviathan"
She's a fan of the man with a tan from a can
The bronze adonis got her
Mr and mrs universe / the folks who live in the gym
Each night she sleeps in a room marked her / he sleeps in a room marked him
Muscle bound for stardom / the apollo of your eye
Can't seem to get a hard on / oh christ i wonder why
The bronze adonis got her
They honeymoon on muscle beach to cries of "beat it mac"
He plucks some puny pansy's peach / how do you like that
The bonze adonis got her
There stands the body gorgeous / men worship girls admire
He bravely bears the scourges and the squelch of squashed
Desire
What a physical jerk / no time for sex
Where's me bleedin' bullworker, baby oil and leopard kecks
Oh yeah / the bronze adonis got her
Hubba hubba yum yum wow / what a hunk of beef
Who made you the sacred cow / who hangs around his briefs
In the corner sauna / with his mates
Wanking away unwanted weight
That's his idea of a heavy date
The bronze adonis got her
