Title: Frankel's Lament

Lyrics Frankel's Lament

Okay, let's just set the scene in a hospital
Mip mip mip
Frankel the mouse is there, on the bed
Mip mip mip

I've forgotten everything
In my little mouse-sized bin
In a county hospital
With a tiny bandage round my head

You've just got a broken ankle
Snap out of it, Frankel

Images are coming back to me
When I close my eyes I see
How I got my injury
Cause I attempted beastiality

Frankel, it's your past you're seeing
You tried making love to a human being

Frankie, all the things you could have been
That it's now impossible to be
Now you'll never realise your dream
To be a world champion at frisbee

Ne-ne-ne-ne-nl, ne-ne-ne-ne-nl
Ne-ne-ne-ne-nl, neoww
Nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl two handed nl-nl-nl-nl-nl
Nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl there's usually a really self-indulgent Kirk Hammet solo
Nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl-nl

Yeah, but there's usually an instrument
That's true, there is

Now I'm back in walking therapy
And they're saying, "Bend your knee, Katie, bend your knee"
But my name is not Katie
And I'll never throw a fuckin' frisbee

Luke Skywalker, look at him
He saved the galaxy with a prosthetic limb

Frankie, all the things you could have been
That it's now impossible to be
Now you'll never realise your dream
To be a world champion at frisbee

Memories flying at me
Like plastic sperm on a really weird keyring
It's my future I see
A lonely life of writing parking fines
But life is fine

But Frankel, you're a mouse, don't be silly
Even with all four limbs you couldn't play frisbee
But Frankel, you will always have your dreams
Cause anything is possible, you see

It's just bullshit!
Just insert happy ending here!

Thanks so much for coming! Let's have a drink
