Bathed a while naked in hot water
Wash away imminent disaster
Thinking through her today and the murder
Of the bailiff and landowner
Felt no shame only gain
Cleansed the pike, peeled all the potatoes
Beetroots ripe for bellies of gigolos
Served it up for her son and her daughter
For the last time she imagines
Reprobates lie in wait
Baby bye-bye
(Bye-bye bye-bye)
Skybaby
Skybaby
Bye-bye baby
Sweet vigilante
Bye-bye baby
Skybaby
Bye-bye baby
Sweet vigilante
Baby bye-bye
Quote (Gruff):
"When we went to Colombia in 1997 we got invited to this Marxist village. They were having this five-day fiesta to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the murder of the local landowner. It's a song inspired by that, but moved to a Russian pre-Revolutionary setting! We have such a derivative chorus at the end to counterbalance lines like 'she came in smelling of cabbages'."
