Guts Lyrics by John Cale

Guts Lyrics

    The bugger in the short sleeves fucked my wife
    Did it quick and split
    Back home, fresh as a daisy to maisy, oh maisy

    And the twelve-bore it stood in the corner
    Quite operatic in its self disgust
    It blew him all over the living room floor
    Like parrot shit, parrot spit, parrot shit was shot

    Now suppose it was someone familiar
    Someone we all would know
    Embarrasing denouement, ne c'est pas?
    Familiar hyperbole

    And there would go the secret plot
    The piss had missed the hole in the pot
    Like that ancient teenage dream
    From soul to poison soul to poison soul

    Guts, guts, got no guts
    And stitches don't help at all
    Guts, guts, got no guts
    Holes in the body, holes in the legs
    Holes in the forehead, holes in the head
    Holes in the body, holes in the legs
    There should never be holes at all
    There should never be holes at all

    So: kill all you want or more
    Make sure, do it right
    Dead is dead, and door nails forget
    And then you'll notice
    How the waster and the wasted
    Get to look like one another
    In the end, in the end
    In the end, in the end
    In the end, in the end

    In the end, in the end
