from Biohazard Sessions

Dark night
stars bright
me and me girl were walking
me and me girl were talking
- down by the canal

Successfully atmospheric piece with minimal nasty narrative of rape/murder. Shows the influence of Mark Perry. GG

Down By The Canal

dark night - the stars were bright
dark night - the stars were bright
me and me gal - we was walking
dark night - stars were bright
me and me gal were walking
by the canal
me and me gal were talking
by the canal
dark night - stars were bright
me and me gal were walking
me and me gal were talking

she said - 'i've got to tell you
i'm going out with another boy
i got to tell you - been going out with him
for more than a year
i hope you're not too shocked'
not too shocked!
'no' i said
me and me gal were talking
me and me gal were walking
it was a dark night
but the stars were bright
down by the canal

i took out me tool
it was a knife this time
when i'd finished thrusting
i threw her in the canal

i hope it's not too much of a shock

me and me gal were talking
me and me gal were walking
