Recessive Jean - Shriekback

Here is the face plumber

Bearing improvised food

To the space on the landing

That is so rarely used

Here’s the loop grinder

Making marginal news

Gonna stand on the corner

Singing reprobate blues

With a charm to disarm and a passion for harm

In so many ways, so many ways

A façade of calm can but raise the alarm

At the end of days, the end of days

Here’s a chronic intruder

Crossing Chemical Park

Through a break in a long chain

And the darkest of sparks

She will dress for success she will welcome excess

In so many ways, so many ways

A deadly caress, nothing more nothing less

At the end of days.

the end of days

Hey ho, Recessive Jean

Take the money and keep it clean

Put your hand on the Bible and the book is cold

Don’t be so bold, Recessive Jean

Hey ho, Recessive Jean

Bite the bullet and make a scene

Put your head in the oven and turn it on

You’ll soon be gone.

Recessive Jean

She will twist and resist and return to insist

In so many ways, so many ways

She’s keeping a list of those she will kiss

At the end of days.

the end of days

Hey ho, Recessive Jean

Take the money and keep it clean

Put your hand on the Bible and the book is cold

Don’t be so bold, Recessive Jean

Hey ho, Recessive Jean

Bite the bullet and make a scene

Put your head in the oven and turn it on

You’ll soon be gone, Recessive Jean
