A mental margarita That’s a real mind-eater Cocktail that kills ya Having once thrilled ya Mental margaritas Just one gulp may be fatal Mental margaritas Drown your common sense And leave you with no defence The first time I saw her She took me by surprise I never thought I’d see such beauty In a person’s eyes She looked like a marble statue My emotionality ran wild I thought pretty young lady I really like your style But she was – A mental margarita That’s a real mind-eater Cocktail that kills ya Having once thrilled ya Mental margaritas Just one gulp may be fatal Mental margaritas Drown your common sense And leave you with no defence The next time I saw her I couldn’t believe my eyes She was sittin’ in my flat Chattin’ to other blokes online I’d taken her in ‘cause I really liked her And she had nowhere to stay But the penny dropped And I finally realised that day That she was – A mental margarita That’s a real mind-eater Cocktail that kills ya Having once thrilled ya Mental margaritas Just one gulp may be fatal Mental margaritas Drown your common sense And leave you with no defence So please don’t fall for someone Who thinks it’s cool to do your head in By chattin’ up other blokes While preachin’ about sin Oh please don’t fall for someone Who thinks it’s cool to cut your jeans up While threatenin’ to keep your keys And messin’ your flat up Oh she was A mental margarita That’s a real mind-eater Cocktail that kills ya Having once thrilled ya Mental margaritas Just one gulp may be fatal Mental margaritas Drown your common sense And leave you with no defence

Why don't you shove all your random samples And eat the chip on your shoulder too Oh and stick your bedroom ego shows Right up your bum I don't need 'em save 'em For your chums For your chums For your chums Hey ho ho hum Hey ho ho hum Hey ho ho hum Hey ho ho hum None of this is about music It's all your headtrip isn't it You're far too immature to admit it For fear that your halo might slip But your halo has slipped So wipe that smug look off your face 'Cause there are horns Growin' in your halo's place Yes there are horns Growin' in your halo's place So Why don't you shove all your random samples And eat the chip on your shoulder too Oh and stick your bedroom ego shows Right up your bum I don't need 'em save 'em For your chums For your chums For your chums Hey ho ho hum Hey ho ho hum Hey ho ho hum Hey ho ho hum Labellin' others' suggestions pointless You have a dismissive attitude Your determination to impress Doesn't justify being rude And you are just plain rude And way way too sure of yourself Let's face facts young dude You constantly overrate yourself Oh yes you do You constantly overrate yourself So Why don't you shove all your random samples And eat the chip on your shoulder too Oh and stick your bedroom ego shows Right up your bum I don't need 'em save 'em For your chums For your chums For your chums Hey ho ho hum Hey ho ho hum Hey ho ho hum Hey ho ho hum

Drôle de Tatouage 02:58

Un pote à moi Un moitié fêlé S'est fait tatouer Une quéquette ailée Pourquoi a t-il fait Ce genre de bêtise Personne ne le sait C'est un vrai truc de cinglé Drôle de héliqueue tattoo Pourquoi s'est-il fait ça selon vous Il devait être complètement saoul Fallait s'y attendre de quelqu'un d'aussi fou Un jour en juin Pendant le Hellfest Le mec s'est dit tiens Il est temps de faire un beau geste Au stand tatouage Il a trouvé son bonheur Un drôle de tatouage Il met désormais en valeur Drôle de héliqueue tattoo Pourquoi s'est-il fait ça selon vous Il devait être complètement saoul Fallait s'y attendre de quelqu'un d'aussi fou Drôle de héliqueue tattoo Pourquoi s'est-il fait ça selon vous Ca lui a quand même coûté des sous Fallait s'y attendre de quelqu'un d'aussi fou Drôle de tatouage

about

Tales of bible-thumping bunnyboilers, bedroom musicians with over-inflated egos, very dodgy tattoos, and other silly things I will do my best to avoid in 2018. Enjoy!

Des histoires de cinglées religieuses, de musiciens de chambre à l'égo surdimensionné, de tatouages très limites, et d'autres trucs débiles que je tâcherai d'éviter en 2018. Profitez!
