Nippon won't you take me

Into your arms and make me

Into a sergeant emboldened and enlargened

For some the spell was shafted

But I am in your sway

Yes I am still enchanted

By the ways of yesterday

To the public park

I walk my new wife

And in the summer heat

I lose my head

I tell her that the army

Needs a modus operandi

I tell her where I really

Went that evening in Chelsea

I tell her I don't think

I'll last another single night

She says Yeah right

If I do it with an ice pick

Will I come back as a jock

If I fast until starvation

Will I be born again a Christian

I hear that death by burning

Means returning as a girl

But only by seppuku

Can I retain my virtue

But all my efforts have only made

An army of greedy gays

Will no one read

The Sound Of Waves

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
