The Strange Tale of Sid the Strangler Songtext
von Sonic Boom Six

Public we get what we want
Blood on our hands never did wash easy
Oh oh oh oh oh
What we need is a good, clean story

To Good health! It′s flying off the shelf
The tale of Sid the Strangler, he wrote it all himself
Oh oh oh
Skim through if it gets too gory

Oh what a fine man was he!
Built like a boxer should be!
The jewel in the gangland, the pride of his homeland to see!

Public we get what we want
Salt of the earth and he talks like we do
Oh – oh – oh
Loves his footy and Sunday roast too


Our Joan, She told me on the phone
The bit about the chinaman who couldn't pay his loan
Oh oh oh oh oh
Knew what he was getting into

Oh what a fine man was he!
Built like a boxer should be!
The jewel in the gangland, the pride of his homeland, to see!

Don′t you be worried my friend
"Woman and children were safer back then"
Never been shame in the torture and maiming of men

Rejoice in the streets my people!
And dance with the ex-criminals
Sure, they once broke the law
But that's what the prison's there for!
Are you really sure?

Oh what a fine man was he
Built like a boxer should be
And as for the stabbing
Well stranger things happen at sea.

Don′t you be worried my friend
"Woman and children were safer back then"
Never been shame in the torture and maiming of men


Here we go again.
