this is based on an incident that happened down the road when i was a kid

lyrics

ive got a barrel of beer inside me and i dont mean american beer and its making me feel crazy its making me think crazy things like I want to kill your daddy shoot him with my brothers gun im going to kill your daddy baby does that turn you on im going to kill your daddy so i can be your man again and the boys in the bar are winding me up they think the whole things just a laugh but the morning papers are going to show your daddys name and my photograph i walk up the road to my house upstairs to my brothers room there underneath the bed is that old german pistol exactly like my brother said i check the mechanism the mechanisms working fine he showed me how to use it in the woods one time i walk down the road to your house in the back door up the stairs i walk past your sister on her knees she fell asleep as she was saying her prayers i walk in the door of your room where ive been so many times and Im just watching you sleeping pretty girl you look so fine i just want to make you mine so i can be with you all the time i just want to be your man but that dont suit your daddys plan then i notice something on the table by the bed and then i notice something on the pillow by your head then i think of something that just makes me laugh and laugh i take the pen and i write your daddys name on my photograph and i take a bullet from the gun and i go into your daddys room he lays sleeping on the bed and i lay that bullet at his head and i dont wake him from his sleep i lay that photo at his feet and every time i think about him waking up i just laugh and every time thinks about him waking up and seeing his name on my photograph your daddys name on my photograph so i didnt kill your daddy but baby i dont mind cos that old buzzard he knows i can take him anytime and all the way home when i think about it i just laugh and laugh
