Peculiar Henderson Lyrics

Peculiar Henderson's dead and gone, and that there's no denying

But here's the truth, she was next to no use, but it never stopped her trying

Peculiar Henderson had a dream, of that we are so certain

The ambition she had might have driven her mad, now that's all gone for a burton

The Cookie Coot in the day glow suit was one hell of a nutter

But in her day she found her way straight down into the gutter

A model's dream can be so mean, with looks that she so lacked

The catwalk call came to bugger all as she found work on her back

The moody mare left nothing to spare in pursuit of love and money

She bared her ass and made a pass at every passing dummy

She was well known to the cops back home, arrested by the barges

For the guys at Nick, she'd perform a trick and be exempted of all charges

Peculiar Henderson's dead and gone, and that there's no denying

But here's the truth, she was next to no use, but it never stopped her trying

Peculiar Henderson had a dream, of that we are so certain

The ambition she had might have driven her mad, now that's all gone for a burton

Her parents cried the day she died bereft of their one daughter

but all the same they were to blame for all that they had taught her

The useless pair left nothing spare in their daily cruelty

They had no tact and really lacked all sense of parental duty

They blamed the vicar for her dodgy ticker to pass the blame on him

Little they knew it was partly true, for what he'd done was grim

The vicar was caught and his secret taught in every school in town

How much we gloat when he slits his throat as the judge was setting him down

Peculiar Henderson's dead and gone, and that there's no denying

But here's the truth, she was next to no use, but it never stopped her trying

Peculiar Henderson had a dream, of that we are so certain

The ambition she had might have driven her mad, now that's all gone for a burton

Now that's all gone, now that's all gone, now that's all gone for a burton
