The Pot & Kettle |
| One smoky day in a darkened scullery |
| Doon by the river in a factory town |
| Where bad things happen & the walls are drippn' |
| And the ghosts are flittin' frae the cold hard ground |
| A pot & kettle on the hob were settled |
| A' hissin' their patter so bileous cruel |
| An awfy matter o' clout & claterin' |
| Battlin' wits in a hideous duel |
| Lids a rattlin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a lowly villain' |
| 'You're a terrible liar' |
| 'But we’re both here cookin' on the same old fire' |
| Guts a bubblin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a chanty pot' |
| 'And you’re a shite for brains' |
| 'But we’re both here hangin' on the same old chains' |
| «I've roasted a wealth of exotic things |
| All torn to ribbons at the hands of kings |
| Polished copper how I proudly shone |
| Stealin the fire of the blazing sun» |
| «Ye've boilt nae mair’n 'em old soup bones |
| Ive boilt the tea for them stately homes |
| I were rattled like a drum each Hogmanay |
| Then scrubbed tae the devil on the follwin' day» |
| Lids a rattlin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a lowly villain' |
| 'You're a terrible liar' |
| 'But we’re both here cookin' on the same old fire' |
| Guts a bubblin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a chanty pot' |
| 'And you’re a shite for brains' |
| 'But we’re both here hangin' on the same old chains' |
| Lids a rattlin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a lowly villain' |
| 'You're a terrible liar' |
| 'But we’re both here cookin' on the same old fire' |
| Guts a bubblin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a chanty pot' |
| 'And you’re a shite for brains' |
| 'But we’re both here hangin' on the same old chains' |
| «O kettle yer metal is a terrible hue |
| Riddled wi' holes cannae hold yer brew |
| Yer lids all crooked & yer sides bashed in |
| It’ll no be long afore ye see the bin» |
| «Pot your not so bright as me |
| A hags old cauldron is all you’d be |
| You reek o' gruel & you’re none too young |
| Fit for to carry but the peels & dung» |
| Lids a rattlin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a lowly villain' |
| 'You're a terrible liar' |
| 'But we’re both here cookin' on the same old fire' |
| Guts a bubblin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're an old piss bucket' |
| 'You're a dented can' |
| 'But we’re neither as black as that roasting pan.' |
| Lids a rattlin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a lowly villain' / 'But we’re neither as black' |
| 'You're a terrible liar' |
| 'But we’re both here cookin' on the same old fire' / 'But we’re neither as |
| black as that roasting pan.' |
| Guts a bubblin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a chanty pot' |
| 'And you’re a shite for brains' |
| 'But we’re both here hangin' on the same old chains' |
| Lids a rattlin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a lowly villain' / 'But we’re neither as black' |
| 'You're a terrible liar' |
| 'But we’re both here cookin' on the same old fire' / 'But we’re neither as |
| black as that roasting pan.' |
| Guts a bubblin' belchin' steam |
| Life ain’t nothin but a fevered dream |
| 'You're a chanty pot' / 'But we’re neither as black' |
| 'And you’re a shite for brains' |
| 'But we’re both here hangin' on the same old chains' / 'But we’re neither as |
| black as that roasting pan.' |
