But where are her blue ink, blue quills

But where are her blue ink, blue quills
Your lovely neighbours, yes, sometimes they bite

Your lovely neighbours, yes, sometimes they bite
C’mon, demise, stop swearing if by the hands of fire

C’mon, demise, stop swearing if by the hands of fire
The hidden branches she likes to pick

The hidden branches she likes to pick
Don’t kid yourself, soul

Don’t kid yourself, soul
