Grey flannelette
Grey flannelette
I'm sat on the bus
I'm sat on the seat
And I'm counting my money
So that I can go and eat

It's just grey flannelette
Yes, it's just grey flannelette

Now I'm in the zoo
I'm looking at all the animals they got in there
And I'm thinking about sculpture made out of steak
I said they made a mistake

It was grey flannelette
Yes, it was grey flannelette

Then I went into a dream

He's got his blue Spanish eyes
And they're flashing while he talks
And moving around
Is getting just a little too hard
Now he's standing by the bathroom door
And he's got his towel and his stuff there over his arm
And he's thinking about the good times
And he's thinking about all those other times
Now he's in the bath
Yes and he's having a wash
He looks over at his clothes
And they're hanging on a peg
I said they're hanging on a peg
It was grey flannelette
That's all it ever was
It was grey flannelette
I said I see it clearly now
It's grey flannelette
I see it very clearly
It's just grey flannelette

He got out of the bath
and he went down to the basement
And he opened up the toolbox
And he found a suitable instrument
And he took it back upstairs
And he took all his clothes off
And he sat in the bath
And then he sawed his own leg off
And that was that, haha

Good 'ol Grey JonathanJ[at]-remove-shaw.ca - Jonathan Joseph 13Apr2003 8:45 PM (6 years 337 days ago) Saw Butchy perform Grey Flanellete on a frickin' chilly night(-30 c) in Saskatoon Saskatchewan way back when...1990? at a totally dismal psuedo wedding hall of some sort. Love the Spooky version...it's tempo is addictive!
