Met two guys at a punk gig in a pub

Daughter was driving, was drinking 7 Up

Stood at the bar - pint in hand 

Idle chit-chat, waiting for the band

Minding our own, then this guy did blurt

We do that - pointed at me shirt

Printed on me shirt a Tobe Hooper massacre

Texas chainsaw - leatherface, abattoir 

Redefined horror - slasher, maniacs the lot

Oddball family - teenage schlock 

 

I said what, you cut people up with a chainsaw for fun?

Sort of he said - & my daughter said....RUN!

Inquisitive I was & began to inquire

Is this the truth - or are you a liar?

Cogs began to turn in their Neanderthal head

They said we slaughter animals, until they're dead

It's not the the nature of their job that made us scared

Was the look in their eye, & they were also fucking weird

Been all over Europe slaughtering cows, horses, pig

You don't get these conversations at a Beyoncé  gig

 

I said is it a career  you really  enjoy doing?

They said yes or course!......almost drooling

My daughter said Dad, I want to go home....please!

I said hang on, but I agreed I'm not at ease

Traveled to odd places, Ive never ever been phased

These two guys stories were borderline depraved

I've never met a real deal couple of psychopaths

Never met maniacs who enjoy mammal bloodbaths

Made our excuses, went to see the band

Farther & daughter, hand in hand....

She turned to me & said, a comment on our lifestyle

A term of endearment, really made me smile

Dad; you've always showed me never walk the middle of the road

You've given something different; art, literature, you've shown

A broader mind I have, but I'm not a cleaver arse

That's why I got accepted to London University of the Arts

We laughed  said we love each other & agreed to never change

Because we like things left of centre, doesn't mean to say we're strange. 

 

Just an average family day out.......
