Oh spare a thought for Marty Gull.
His fault was he cared too well.
Her hair’s ardent lull
on hardened skull

And spare a quid. Poor Tippi Marsh.
She never did come to much.
The light from the stars,
so bright and so harsh
- the sharp of a heart, untouched.

Now spare the time but not the rod.
The staff are hard to find.
The sun’s follow spot,
the violet of god
will tan each man’s behind.

A soul must be restored again.
A hole in the rain will fill
with tears and with sun,
‘til all fears are done,
until then, until, until…
