everybodyduck - shags has hung himself lyrics
without fail from dawn to dusk at our house everyday
at least a hundred neighbour kids would come ariund to play
and of all the kids that came to play chris sticks out in my
mind
that sort of friend who always stuck by you
you know, the loud obnoxious kind
and sometimes out of the blue, the doorbell on our house
would ring
but when we’d open up the door we’d never find a thing
and though we never saw him’ we knew chris had rung the bell
cause we’d barely glimpse that fat shadow that we all knew
too well
then one morning in place of chris’ his mother came instead
she looked at me with saddened eyes and this is what she said
christopher won’t come to play today
sh-gs poor sh-gs has hung himself
short wall, long chain, that dog won’t see the sun again
no sh-gs, poor sh-gs has hung himself
the dog i’d often heard about but never once had seen
it seems reached the end of his rope if you know what i mean
the chain that kept him in the yard was just a little long
so when he ran to jump the fence it seemed nothing was wrong
he cleared the wall with style and grace, but never touched
the ground
the chain just was’nt long enough, so he just hung around
so christopher stayed home that day, but soon forgot the
pain
his family bought another dog but used a shorter chain
in life there’s a short wall around us, guidelines we live by
and if we keep testing that chain well eventually we’ll die
