about

The song is about a dream I had where I was Richard Keil having a battle with André the Giant at a Colosseum in Carthage (I was in Tunisia on me holidays and full of mosquito venom at the time)

lyrics

I pulled on a cape
I put on the floor
I jangled around until I jangled around no more
I got a knife, I got a wife,I got a reason to be razzmatazz
I’m wrestling with tigers
There’s no reason he’ll jangle me up
I’d like the police please starring the beast feast
I’m new to this dance.
Starts in a packet, André can’t hack it
A packet of leopard, I’ll put it together, I’ll put it to leather
A packet of pieces oh no more, no more
The audience is around the room
The lovers loom by the strongman’s moon
They’re in the sky the rulers of the sky, sky-high.
If you think it’s whack come and sit with us
If you think we are cracked give us camel dust
In use will be a frost to bless back your anger strong horse
I have been below, it’s impossible
Richard of my soul, your anger is your blood and anger is your love
unless you F*** off!
Oh, Farewell to the Strongmen and all their powers.
Welcome to the metal gymnasium, I’m new to this dance.
