lyrics

Do not play with good Mrs Brown
a simple dame from mermaid town.
Her three part tongue will cut you down
she'll bind herself to you with her game.

Keep quiet no words as evening dies
You're allowed to grumble you can sob and sigh.
Don't speak no sense you'll tell no lies
she can't bind you to her with her game.

It's unearthly magic a conjurer's trick
it'll twist and trap them as fall for it
it'll catch even Romans in its net
she'll bind herself to you with her game.

Snail, snail come out of your shell
She'll whisper to you in a grinders' spell
She'll tease and smoke and flush you to hell
stay down silent in your hold.

There's a spirit in the ring there's a voice in the cup
and its looking for the ear that listens up
keep your purse quiet and don't stand up
stay down deep in your hole.

If the gentleman wind wants to call you out
or the rain hammers down the virgin's spout
or the hail hits your head like an iron clout
stay down silent in your hole.

Don't buy the thorns of a victim's crown
You'll have to follow sweet Mrs Brown
Dragged through the streets of Mermaid Town
she'll bind you to her with her game.

Martin Rowson - “Imagine Bertholdt Brecht, David Bowie about to book his ticket to Berlin and John Otway had kittens and puppies, and that those hellspawn then interbred incestuously - their progeny would probably sound like "Introducing Bobby Bluff", but with the passionate intensity toned down. I can think of no higher praise than that. Brilliant stuff.” ... more
