lyrics

The Alsatian dog walks past Adam and Eve
The Alsatian dog find it hard to believe...

...that the lead is long and life's so long

The Alsatian dog has been dreaming of Mumbai
He reckons he'd look swell all lit up on the silver screen
A juggernaut crashes into the lexicon
A juggernaut crashes into a bungalow too

And he says...

"You can't define me
Try as you might to pin me down
If I loose my tongue for some reason
I'll still be spoken all over town"

"I'm going to give you some offspring
That's what I'm going to do
But don't you dare think for one minute
That they'll look like me, or sound like you"

...and the lead is long and life's so long

What does he eat?

Dog food or oyster sauce
Millefeuille off the kitchen floor
Plastic or kerosene
Toast, jam, margarine
Rare breeds or poppy seeds
A peace pipe found amongst the weeds
No time for the Saxon beast
What does he eat?
The French meats:
Venison, beef, pork, venison
Beef, pork, venison, beef
Pork, venison, beef, pork
What does he use?
A knife, a fork and language
