Beaten by a wooden spoon or two

"It's my lousy memory" I told the Kid 
"What other men forget I still remember 
The flies are still alive inside the amber
It's a garbage can with rubbish for a lid"


He met my eyes and hit me for a quid

And though I am a singer of soul
Sometimes my brothers are breakers of bones
Will they crown me King
In a limestone ring
Or are they coming for to carry me home


And if we're lucky we'll be finished by dawn
