The Human Head

I was in chapel with my mum and my brother
And that was how I knew we must've been younger
12 years old
Nicky looked about ten
And Father Hurley was alive again

But after that we headed back to the house
And someone moved all the furniture while we were out
The room spun
I was going into seizure
And then we found a human head in the freezer

I keep running but you're holding me back
I keep swimming but you're pulling me down
I keep falling like the sheep to the slaughter
But I can breathe underwater

We started panicking cos we had forgot
Who's head that it was and who had chopped it off
But then we realised the problem at hand
Was the fact that these human heads are contraband

Mum said we had to make an escape
She came back from the shed with a coupla spades
She drove us to a place where there'd be no one around
And said "Boys, make sure that head's never found"

That was when I heard the sirens around me
Mum fished in her purse for a coupla pound
She said she'd get us sweeties and a comic fae ASDA
If we could bury that head any faster

But it was too late as the polis closed in
My mum sped away
Tried to save her own skin
We couldny fight back cos we're punching too slow
Had to punt the head over a wall and just bolt
