about

Lotus Eaters. A reworking of 'Beware Of The Flowers' by John Otway

lyrics

Look out ladies
Look out pets
Here's a man
Who's gonna get the Blues
When you go away
He's on fire
Cause he's in love
With a girl who's not the girl she was
When he went out with her
He's chatting in the post office
Trying to be debonair
Beware of Henry Flower
Cos I'm sure he's gonna get you
Yeah!

He will try to say goodbye
Ogling a woman in stockings
Just across the street
But a tram gets in the way
So he moves on into an alley
Tearing Martha's envelope
Then he wanders into church
Musing on theology
Beware of Henry Flower
Cos I'm sure he's gonna get you
Yeah!

I.N.R.I., I.H.S.
Iron nails ran in, I have sinned
or I have suffered
Chemists next, where he buys
A bar of lemon soap and then
He meets Bantam Lyons
Who's sure he's been given a tip
For a horse called Throwaway
Beware of Henry Flower
Cos I'm sure he's gonna get you
Yeah!
