Ulysses - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]
When Ulysses comes home[00:00:13]
He always greets me with an open heart[00:00:18]
But you will see how Ulysses[00:00:23]
Has taken my life apart[00:00:28]
I've got a dog called Ulysses[00:00:33]
He plays all day in the park[00:00:38]
Sniffing at his friends and the chestnut trees[00:00:42]
And chasing cats 'til after dark[00:00:46]
When my Ulysses comes home[00:00:53]
(wag wag woof woof)[00:00:59]
His tail in the air[00:01:01]
His usual exuberance[00:01:04]
Is awfully hard to bear[00:01:09]
When I stumble home at[00:01:13]
Night I'm jaded and stale[00:01:15]
And so I try to take a little repose[00:01:18]
I don't want waking up with a happy tail[00:01:22]
I don't want a kiss from a big wet nose[00:01:26]
When my Ulysses comes home[00:01:32]
(wag wag woof woof)[00:01:37]
He gets on my wick[00:01:40]
For Ulysses communicates[00:01:43]
His love with a snuffle and a lick[00:01:48]
I like to sit in my fireside chair[00:01:52]
Watching telly 'til the epilogue[00:01:57]
In a semi-coma and without a care[00:02:01]
And I would do if it were[00:02:05]
Not for my bloody dog[00:02:07]
When my Ulysses comes home[00:02:11]
(wag wag woof woof)[00:02:17]
Like a maniac[00:02:19]
Its useless to pursue my viewing[00:02:23]
So I've sent my television back[00:02:28]
I tried to climb the social scale[00:02:32]
And so I organised a little do[00:02:37]
Some very posh people[00:02:41]
Came to my cocktail[00:02:43]
But at half-past seven my[00:02:45]
Party was through[00:02:48]
When my Ulysees came home[00:02:52]
(wag wag woof woof)[00:02:57]
I knew I was sunk[00:03:00]
My guests were not at all impressed[00:03:03]
And they left when my dog got drunk[00:03:08]
I brought my sweetie home one night[00:03:13]
And we both knew that this was it[00:03:17]
Sipping Chianti by candlelight[00:03:22]
We were getting to a very important bit[00:03:26]
When my Ulysees came home[00:03:32]
(wag wag woof woof)[00:03:37]
He broke the spell[00:03:40]
Intruding on my beautiful[00:03:43]
Romance like a hound from hell[00:03:48]
My one solution is quick and grim[00:03:52]
A little bottle of cyanide[00:03:57]
I can't bring myself to get rid of him[00:04:01]
I shall have to perform a suicide[00:04:05]
So when Ulysees comes home[00:04:12]
(wag wag woof woof)[00:04:17]
Home for his tea[00:04:20]
He'll have to cry a little bit[00:04:24]
For having given so much love to me[00:04:28]
