MARKETPLACE

Fresh fish!
Tomatoes by the pound!
Five for a dollar!
There’s no better deal around!”

Simple salutations
And a wink of the eye
Open up the morning
With a heavy sigh
Everybody’s hungry
For their piece of the pie
Hopscotch this madness
It’s a do or die

Isn’t that her?

I believe it’s her

Mistress of the Manor

Just a slut of a girl
Her mother killed the Squire
With a dirty disease

I guess she wasn’t praying
When she was on her knees


There’s no more staff
Neath the Manor’s roof

Why have witnesses
If you don’t like the truth?

At least she’s good for gossip

And a laugh or two

Just her
And her bastard child


Every soul ‘s  a specter
Of machinery
Tap dance this fine line
Of society
Try to sell the other guy
The shirt off your back
Then try and cut in line
For a new heart attack

Beg barrow and steal
Lives for sale
