"Street Hassle"


	a. Waltzing Matilda

	Waltzing Matilda whipped out her wallet
	sexy boys smiled in dismay
	She took out four twenties, 'cause she liked brown figures
	everybody screamed for a day
	Oh, baby, I'm on fire and, you know that I admire your body
	why don't we slip away - hey
	Although I'm sure you're certain, it's a rarity me flirtin'
	she la la la this way - hey

	Oh sha la la la la - sha la la la - hey, baby
	Come on, let's slip away

	Luscious and gorgeous, oh what a hunk of muscle
	call out the National Guard
	She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her knees
	from off of the formica topped board
	And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly and boldly
	out of this world
	And despite people's derision proved to be more than diversion
	sha la la la la later on

	And then sha la la la la la, he entered her slowly
	and showed her where he was coming from
	And then sha la la la la, he made love to her gently
	it was like she never ever come
	And then sha la la la la, 
	when the sun rose and he made to leave
	You know sha la la la la, sha la la la la
	neither one regretted a thing


	b. Street Hassle

	Hey, that cunt's not breathing
	I think she had too much
	of something or other, hey, man, you know what I mean
	I don't mean to scare you
	but you're the one who came here
	and you're the one who's gotta take her when you leave
	I'm not being smart
	or trying to be pulling my part
	and I'm not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve
	But you know people get emotional
	and sometimes they just don't act rational
	they think they're just on TV

	Sha la la la
	man
	why don't you just slip her away

	You know. I'm glad that we met man
	it was really nice talking
	and I really wish there was a little more time to speak
	But you know it could be a hassle
	trying to explain myself to a police officer
	about how it was that your old lady got herself stiffed
	And it's not like we could help
	but there's nothing no one could do
	and if there was, man, you know I would have been the first
	Only, someone turns that blue
	well, it's a universal truth
	and you just know: That bitch will never fuck again
	By the way, that's really some bad shit
	that you came to our place with
	but you ought be more careful round the little girls
	It's either the best or it's the worst
	since I don't have to choose
	I guess I won't, and I know, This is no way to treat a guest
	But why don't you grab your old lady by the feet
	and just lay her out in the darkest street
	and by morning, she's just another hit and run

	You know, some people got no choice
	and they can never even find a voice
	to talk with that they can even call their own
	So the first thing, that they see
	that allows them the right to be
	why, they follow it, you know, it's called bad luck


	c. Slip Away

	Believe me, that's just a lie
	that's what she tells her friends
	there's a real song, the real song
	she won't even admit it to herself
	Narrow heart, the song let's the people know
	it's a painful song
	It'll only say the truth
	it lasts for sad songs
	twenty for wish
	wish it won't make it so
	A pretty kiss and a pretty face
	can't have it's way
	There're tramps like us who were born to pay

	Love has gone away
	and there's no one here now
	And there's nothing left to way
	but, oh, how I miss him, baby
	Oh, baby, come on and slip away
	come on, baby
	why don't you slip away

	Love has gone away
	took the rings of my fingers
	And there's nothing left to say
	but, oh how, oh how I need you, baby
	Come on, baby, I need you baby
	oh, please don't slip away
	I need your loving so bad, baby
	please don't slip away
