a bridge tune
"where are you going?" asked manny the mayor
"what are you doing?" asked resident jane
"i bet you're a bastard" said daniel the deacon
"they'll put you away where you'll never be seen again"
"there won't be no pardon" said manny the murderer
"there won't be no stay" said tommygun jane
said daniel mcbedlam "you won't go no farther"
"my father won't even declare you insane"
"from a madman's way" said manny the magnate
"for the public good" shouted political jane
"i think he's a commie" said daniel mcdunn
"if he won't do murder i'll call it a crime, a sin"
"it's not a long drop" said manny the hangman
"the rope will not stop" said juryman jane
"in a long box" chanted daniel mcflag
"we'll set you up warm to keep you out of the rain"
"all flesh is grass" sighed manny the mourner
"a handsome young man" wept sob-sister jane
"RIP" bid captain mcdaniel
"if he were alive we could kill him again"
it's a bridge tune, not for love.....
