Joe the Thwarted Lover

With apologies to Puff the Magic Dragon.

Joe the thwarted lover
Drove by the sea
Threw feathers in the autumn mists
And hailed from Sicily.
Little was his love life
'Cos fighting wars is rough
When every cute sweet girl you meet
Is tragic plotline fluff

Blondes, brunettes and redheads
Machines and flesh and blood
The writers killed them all before
Joe got anything good.
Kathy and Chinita
Lucy and Maya too
The Devil Star who loved to race
All of them died, boo hoo

He is a sexy beastie
But not a lucky bloke
He never even gets a kiss
Before the girl goes up in smoke.
To love him is a death wish
In Gatch 1 and Gatch 2
Perhaps Gatch F was different
But I doubt it, don't you?
