2.	Strath Taieri Rabbit Board 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Well, if you have problems of a romantic type, You got to head on up to Middlemarch. There’s a little shop up there / And the sign says Strath Taeri Rabbit Board (repeat as needed) It’s a dirty little building, it’s got dirty walls, dirty windows You can’t see in because in the window dirty curtains inside those windows. You gotta knock on the door, ‘cause that’s where they make John the Conqueroo, John the Conqueroo, John the Conqueroo, John the Conqueroo, The things they'll do See, up in the Strath Taeri Rabbit Board, they know everything about the cute little bunnies. And those bunnies’ feets If they let you in you’re goona feel a sting in your hip pocket nerve. Because John the Conqueroo needs money and your arm gonna get a cut. ‘cause John the Conqueroo needs blood, to make… John the Conqueroo, John the Conqueroo, John the Conqueroo, John the Conqueroo, The things they'll do Well, You’ll leave with a rabbit’s foot, filled up with your blood and eleven secret herbs and spices. That’s the easy part You got to hide it under the pillow of the one you desire. Which is not so easy since people don’t usually like sleeping on bloody animal appendage under their pillow. You gotta be a bit sly, a bit secretive, a bit covert about it But and slide it inside their pillow You gonna be in In their dreams, in their dreams You gonna be in their dreams, in their dreams Oh the things they’ll do.

Hieronymous, Hieronymous Hieronymous Bosch He painted hellscapes And Earthly delights He had people moving from left to right But always at the right end Was a hellscape With demons, torture, the stuff of night- mares He was a fantasist And a pessimist. He saw how people were, And he didn’t like it Didn’t like it one bit. Hieronymous, Hieronymous Hieronymous Bosch He painted Death and the Miser And the Haywain triptych The Operation Of the Stone The Ascent of the Blessed And the fall of the damned
