Lyrics

I know a man who only lives by crime In fact he does it all the time He has a cat and he has a dog Two children and a wife (He was read his rights) he was read is rights (Just before he lay) just before he lay (When the guard) when the guard (Was already in intensive care) was already in intensive care (But his so-called friends) but his so-called friends (Were already in Spain) were already in Spain A sailor who forged for me and you He dresses up all the time On a Saturday night, in his fishnet tights He's cute, but way past his prime (But then he found) but then he found out (After all those years) after all those years (He took his daughter to the station) He took his daughter to the station (And left his wife in tears) and left his wife in tears (He realised) he realised (he was a Ginger beer) he was homosexual Take me much higher than I wanted to see the rain Norman Normal, he's one hell of a guy Norman Normal, he's one hell of a guy I knew a man, a good old holster man He was always kind to me His mates were killing indiscriminately Daily on TV (He went to work) he went to work (Just the other day) just the other day (Turned the key in the car) turned the key in the car (But got blown away) but got blown away (Doesn't God work) doesn't God work (In mysterious ways?) in mysterious ways? Take me much higher than I wanted to see the rain Norman Normal, he's one hell of a guy Norman Normal, he's one hell of a guy Take me (Normal Normal) much higher (he's one hell) than I wanted to see the rain (of a guy) Take me (Normal Normal) much higher (he's one hell) than I wanted to see the rain (of a guy) Take me (Normal Normal) much higher (he's one hell) than I wanted to see the rain (of a guy) Take me (Normal Normal) much higher (he's one hell) than I wanted to see the rain (of a guy) Take me (Normal Normal) much higher (he's one hell) than I wanted to see the rain (of a guy) Take me (Normal Normal) much higher (he's one hell) than I wanted to see the rain (of a guy) (Normal Normal, Normal, Normal, Normal... Normal Normal, Normal, Normal, Normal... Norman Normal, he's one hell of a guy Normal Normal, Normal, Normal, Normal... Normal Normal, Normal, Normal, Normal...)
