Slough And Scoundrel lyrics

His absolvent obituary beheld

A collection of great acclaims

Great feats of a pathetic soul

A man consumed with himself

Married, yet a cockhound

A cur among honourable men

As lazy as any man could be

No benevolence for men

No great feats or deeds

He portrayed a hero's role

As a harlequin is expected to

Great cervical strength

To accomodate such a swollen head

No regard for others' care

Beyond the extent of his glory

A heart of molded plastic

A mind of festering purelence

He was a mediocrity amongst men

Forged by his own unworked hand

The world will little miss

And not regard this fool's passing

Scraps to be dumped in the bin

His legacy, a warning to all men

Live with regard, live with purpose

That regret be the lone denizen

Entombed and mouldering in the earth
