Dancing Did – The Headmaster And The Fly Lyrics
Artist: Dancing Did
Song: The Headmaster And The Fly
A quiet darkened, quite still, no enquiries, headmaster’s study
Suffocating oak panels, smothering in soft shiny beeswax
Yellow painted plaster mock Tudor roses dripping from the ceiling
Tiger skin blending into faded blood red thread-bare carpet
Diamond-paned, nicotine stained glass windows
A mighty pigskin covered desk, with ornate, ivory, antique inkstand
Behind the desk a man
The head … master
Dustless eyelids open
And revеaled in the reflеction
Of his large pupils, a small pupil
Requiring summary correction
Bulging eyes regard the boy
With measured mock astonishment
Then a raising of eyebrows and grinding of teeth
Heralds the coming admonishment
Pursed lips open alligator slow, as deep red tongue flicks around its dark wet home
Words fall croaking out, bump off the huge desk, bang round the walls
Climb up mullioned windows, but miss the young miscreant’s ears
It’s then that the fly appears
No knocks or appointments, just straight through the window
Its black shiny body makes straight for the dead smell of the headmaster
Where it wildly buzzes around his head, like a playful miniature vulture
A precise thin, white chalk steeped swat misses the circling insect
As it farts and darts away
To a speck of dust where it sheds a million germs that run amok
And copulate unnoticed on the headmaster’s desk top
It climbs and dives, it climbs and dives, it climbs and dives, it climbs and dives
It loops the loop, it drops a mid-air sh#t without a care
As the ancient man drones on and on, it screeches through the air
As the ancient man drones on and on, it screeches through the air
As the ancient man drones on and on, it screeches through the air
As the ancient man drones on and on, it screeches through the air
