lyrics

Sideways shuffle (Adim7th)

Please Uncle, take away the pain
I’ve feasted with the panthers dancing in the rain
Don’t help me, I’m stood below the sign
I’ve stumbled in the counting house I’m witness to the crime
Oh Uncle, mendacity’s all the same
I’ve tried to keep conspicuous but now they know my name
I’m caught . . and my explanation stammers
Just a little tack and all around are hammers
Oh, Oh Oh Oh, Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh!

I’m taking a sideways shuffle yeah! all the way down
I’m on a sideways shuffle to the bottom of the pit.
(Falling down stairs piano instrumental)
