Twydale's Lament [Achtung Bono]

Indicate then you stupid bastard how was I supposed to know
That you intended to go left I'm not a mind reader

You should be cast away into the firey pit
And in that firey pit there are
Eternal sleeping policemen

I saw a young professional couple playing pooh-sticks on a Cotswold bridge
I watched them walk along the banks of the Windrush eating jasmine ice cream
Before heading north
Towards Wyre garden centre and Marianne Faithful
Splendid

I picked up all the elastic bands dropped by the postman on my driveway
And I took them up to the pub on a Thursday evening
As that's where he likes to go for the quiz
He believes he is needed for the music round
His friends obviously humour him

Anyway I place myself at a nearby table
And whenever he tried to light up a cigarette
I fire it out of his mouth with one of the elastic bands
Which he finds most annoying
Most annoying

Gouranga Gouranga
Yes I'll be happy
When you've been arrested for defacing the bridge

Gouranga originates in the Hare Krishna religious movement, whose founding father, Shri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, was also called Gaura. Stickers bearing the word Gouranga or stating “Call out Gouranga and be happy!” have been appearing on bridges over motorways and railways in Scotland and the north of England, purely to annoy drivers as to its meaning.
