Vegemite (The Black Death) |
| You tell me that you love me when I’m lying by your side |
| You tell me that I am the only one who understands your troubled mind |
| That I am blind to any evil you can do |
| And that I love you more than any other girl could ever do |
| You love the things that I love: you love art and you love books |
| And you love love as much as I do and you love my dirty looks |
| And you love me right now |
| So how can you love… Vegemite? |
| It tastes like sadness |
| It tastes like batteries |
| It tastes like asses |
| I cannot hold a man so close who spreads this cancer on his toast |
| It is the Vegemite, my darling, or it’s me |
| You have to make a fucking choice |
| I cannot sit with you at breakfast |
| The very smell of it obliterates my senses |
| And if that weren’t bad enough you also eat the shit for lunch |
| Which means we can’t spend any time together |
| What kind of relationship is that? |
| The choice is yours, my heart is in your hands… |
| Please wash your hands |
| You just ate Vegemite for lunch you selfish bastard |
| It’s all about you, isn’t it? |
| It’s just take, take, take, take |
| What about me? |
| What about my feelings? |
| I’m sorry |
| I had this really awful experience when I was six years old |
| And our British next door neighbor, Christopher Gill, he was babysitting us |
| And he made me eat an entire spoonful of Marmite |
| Which is just like Vegemite pretty much except it’s even grosser |
| He made me eat it by telling me it was chocolate fudge |
| And so I swallowed the whole thing and then I had to go to the bathroom and |
| throw up |
| And it really traumatized me and I’m sorry I got so emotional, I just… |
| I love you, and no matter what you eat |
| I’ll always love you completely |
| I might just always leave the room at meal times |
| Or refuse to kiss or touch you for a week |
| If you insist on putting that foul death paste in your mouth |
| You’re in my heart, but put yourself inside my shoes |
| I have to know, it shouldn’t be too hard to choose |
| I know it’s tearing you apart, but it’s the way it has to be |
| It is the Vegemite, my darling |
| It is the Vegemite, my darling |
| Put down the Vegemite, you fucker, or I’ll leave |
