The great unwashed...

THE MYTH
This is the myth that happens to be true
Hewn out of the stones that built the temple
Empowering the atheistic minds

Mindless as the Ancients of yesteryear
Yearning for the reality of faith
Thankful as any man out of his shell
Hell and then high water overshadowed

Over and over again sinking fast
Fast as a speeding bullet faster streuth 

Truth substituted for reality
Really I hear the great unwashed utter
Utterances of oaths and secret trysts
Try as they might to break the mold they hold
Holed up in the chimney this is the myth

Sambuca...

SIX OF ONE
The forty-five revolves on the turntable
Silently an arm makes the pick-up
Pulls the trigger, it's Russian Roulette
Game on, he takes a shot of Sambuca
Follows it up with a pint of Holts
Chases that with another shot
If it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger
Does he really need another?
Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Little-enders...

LILLIPUT
Lily went to Lilliput
and all the little people shook
She was a giant in their land
they really didn't understand
They read about one in a book
that's why all the people shook
When Lily went to Lilliput
