lyrics

Caught a little monkey

Twenty-five years ago

That hairy feller

Taught me everything I need to know



Started off friendly

Way to pass the time

I didn’t realise

He’d never teach me how to climb



Got a little vicious

Beat him twice a day

Sleeping on the sofa

As the floor tiles fell away



Took him out to be social

Keep him on a chain

But he didn’t know the difference

‘Tween the sacred and profane



Lord knows I tried to drown that monkey

But he can hold his breath

Down there so long

Kicking and screaming and clawing at my face

Little fingers

Too damn strong



Guess we have to learn to get along

about

Ernie Buck Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Lo-Fi Post Punk Garage Rock. Laughing, crooning and snarling in the face of nihilism.
Minimalist defiance, with a slice of lime. Cod-philosophical wannabe Pop with frayed edges. The sound of the absurd.
