Astley In The Noose ("It's Yer Money I'm After Baby" b-side)

---

(A song for Rick Astley)

Oh Astley in the noose he hasn't got a use
But he's trying, trying to be someone
Trying to take it like a man if you can sing an old song

Get back to the rope, wash your mouth out with soap
And if you must sing, sing an oldie
But sing it quickly, oh spare me

Don't beg, don't beg
I wouldn't kill you, even if you paid me
Don't beg, don't beg
I wouldn't kill you, even if you paid me

Oh Astley it's the truth, my patience at its roof
It's at its ceiling - it's just this feeling
That given half a choice, a life without your voice
Seems more appealing

Don't beg, don't beg
I wouldn't kill you, even if you paid me
Don't beg, don't beg
I wouldn't kill you, even if you paid me

But don't take this to heart, it's all to do with art and entertainment
I sing this lament
But from you and from yer peers, it's abuse to both me ears
I rest my case here

Don't beg, don't beg
I wouldn't kill you, even if you paid me
Don't beg, don't beg
I wouldn't kill you, even if paid me
