I'm Just a Tortured Plaything

(Jack)

Audio File

No-one said that life was fair
It's family ties that bind
So I severed mine with a sequinned heel
So chic, my favourite kind
Poor Buffy and sweet Cocka
And dear Magenta Hole
She should have been more careful
Sliding up and down that pole

I'm just a tortured plaything
Trying so hard to play my game
From a dysfunctional family
So I'm really not to blame
See, my old daddy was Doctor Freud
Now he's drifting in a bloody void
I'm just a tortured plaything
I'm just a tortured plaything
I'm just a tortured plaything
Twisting the game
My way

Even as a little boy
I had to be the best
Wouldn't leave the house to go to school
Until I had my lurex vest
Mama wasn't proud of me
She said I played the fool
She used to play piano
Now she'll never play at all

I'm just a tortured plaything
I'm just a tortured plaything
I'm just a tortured plaything
Twisting the game
My way

Everybody, better say your prayers
Jack'll come and get you unawares
Be careful what you say
From time to time
I don't like cabaret
And I hate mime
Oh this den of society
Underneath my propriety
In space no-one can hear you scream
Or shout
This is my playground
My personal slay ground
You pay to get in
And you never get out

I tried so hard to make some friends
But, they always wanted something back
I lthought I'd pick up little strays
I make up for what they lack
Set up a place where I was king
By the name of Saucy Jack
It's amazing what they fall for
When you get them in the sack
Ha ha ha ha

I'm just a tortured plaything
I'm just a tortured plaything
I'm just a tortured plaything
Twisting the game my way
I'm just a tortured plaything
I'm just a tortured plaything
I'm just a tortured plaything
Twisting the game ....
Twisting, and twisting, and twisting, and twisting, and twisting
The game my way

Chesty's dead
