I Remember

I remember the days when you lovingly said
I’ll love you for ever until we’re both dead
And you stroked my fair face with a delicate hand
And we watched the red sunset and lay in the sand
And you told me tall stories of a distant land
I remember

I remember the nights when you lovingly said
You would banish the demons that tortured my head
And you stroked my fair breast with the touch of a god
Who’d been eating some chips with a fillet of cod
And your hands felt like grease and you’d smile with a nod
I remember

I remember the morning you lovingly said
You’d be home late from work you lying crackhead
And you stroked your fair head like a liar, a cheat
And you thought of the bitch you were going to meet
And I thought of you fucking her under a sheet
I remember

I remember the evening I lovingly said
I would cut off your dick if you took her to bed
And I stroked my large knife with a glint in my eye
And I knew that would scare you, that would make you cry
And you backed off in horror as you don’t want to die
I remember

I remember the days when you lovingly said
I’ll love you forever until we’re both dead
And I smiled in the knowledge that you were all mine
Cos you feared for your dick almost all of the time
And I wouldn’t have really committed the crime
But as long as you didn’t know, all would be fine.
I remember.
