Tramp Coat Blues
From Pirate Bitch
The fifth and final single from Gay Pride album The Chiselled Jaw of Fate by buttock-groper's The Count And His Men, this song is about Nathan Page.
"Nathan gets a bit down," explained Rob Paterson, lead wailer, "So we wrote a song about his sad times." "We hope we can lift him up to the status of angels," explain Count Nicholaus watson, drum bashing hardman, "So he can look down on his mistakes and smile."
"Album track 'The Woe of Bertie (Nathan Lost the Product)' is sort of a rambling tale which is very subtle," explained Leonardo Mace, string licker, "Then comes this ode, written from Natty's point of view, about his mistakes. Finally, the two tracks 'Confessions of Dave's Sleeping Bag I: Arise the Pervy Perpetuator' and 'Confessions of Dave's Sleeping Bag II: Hark! Where did it go?' spell it out for the listeners. Very graphic."
"So while it is very much an album track," explained band washer and manager Garald S Kirk, "It stood out on its own as a single."
This quote lived up to its truth when the song was deemed "It's a You're Beautiful for people who aren't twats." Nathan takes the lead singing role, crooning in a heartfelt style. "In case you haven't guessed," continued Leonardo, "It's about that time Nathan and..." at which point he was attacked.
Lyrics
I put on my tramp coat
And take a long walk
I wish to spill it out
But I just can't talk
I need someone beside me
Someone to listen good
I wish I could turn back time
For anything i would
Darling I never needed you
Darling I never wanted this
If you had not tried
I would not have kissed
But your fiery gaze
Tore me apart
I couldn't behave
I'm a common tart
Arrrrgh ooooh
Nooooo whhhhy
(piano interlude)
I cannot pretend
I drank too much
To forget what i did
I remember the touch
Dave, I'm sorry
I ruined your bed
But there is worse damage
In my head
(tempo increase)
What the fuck did i do!
What the fuck did i do!
What the fuck is wrong with me!
Why the fuck did I touch you!
I WAS SO DOWN
I HATE YOU BITCH
YOU TOOK ADVANTAGE
YOU FUCKING WITCH
I was in tears
I was in mourning
You took me aside
But you were just horny
Now I am ashamed
I walk alone
Just my tramp coat
And my little moans
