Sammy's Song |
| Somewhere in the south of Spain |
| Sammy, still sixteen, goes with his uncle for a ride |
| The sun is high |
| Sailing through the city |
| For to see the sights and the talking sex |
| Sammy’s sitting tall |
| The sun is high |
| His uncle brings him to a brothel |
| Being big, he buys a drink |
| Rum and Coke |
| Don’t taste too bad |
| Having brought him to the brink |
| His uncle leaves him with his drink |
| Rum and Coke |
| Don’t taste too bad |
| The girls all gather in a group |
| And give Sammy boy the eye |
| And stare at him seductively |
| And try to make him buy |
| So choosing one that’s younger |
| Better looking than the rest |
| Sammy speaks no Spanish but she understands |
| They go upstairs to buy the room |
| She wants her money in advance |
| Sammy speaks no Spanish but he understands |
| And lying on her back upon the bed she beckons |
| Sammy won’t lie down yet |
| He wants her nude |
| Speaking Spanish, she refuses him |
| At last, afraid of losing him |
| She takes off all her clothes |
| He wants her nude |
| Her hands upon her heart can hardly hide the horrid scars |
| From her shoulder to her waist, her skin is leathery and hard |
| She pantomimes an accident |
| A car, a fire, not so long ago |
| His eyes are wide |
| She moves to put her clothes back on |
| But he won’t let her go |
| He lies her down |
| His eyes are wide |
| And lightly, like a lover |
| Sammy lets his lips caress the leather of her breast |
| His brain is numb |
| Moved by some far, distant mind |
| He makes himself her bridegroom |
| Sammy’s hardly there at all |
| His brain is numb |
| She moves to take him in now |
| But her hand finds him still slack |
| So she sucks to make him hard |
| And then again lies on her back |
| And Sammy does the deed to silent screaming in his skull |
| The scars surround him |
| Is this all real? |
| Schizophrenic, Sammy sees himself |
| Outside his body and his brain |
| Is this all real? |
| And back at the hotel he has to heal himself |
| But all he does is shake |
| And shake some more |
| Without the grace of tears or sickness |
| Sammy sucks it all inside and shakes |
| And shakes some more |
| Without the grace of tears or sickness |
| Sammy sucks it all inside and shakes |
| And shakes some more |
