Loading...

i met her in mars+port just three months ago
on a tavern call aspenore 12
a woman called myrtle had spent all my pay
and i hadn’t enough for the bill

they sent round the bullies to example me
and my mates were there to defend
for though they be deck+rats and scum of the void
they’ll stick by a mate ’til the end

(chorus)
and it’s ki+li+riddi ki+whiskey+and+rye
i’m locked in a rat+hole with ten!
for i’m off to venus to work in the mine
and i won’t be a free man again!
we stood back to back and we took all who came
oh we were a fearful sight
but even the best times must come to an end
and they flung us in job for the night

and when i awoke on the next frosty morn
my hands and my head were sore
but a woman called myrtle who’d spent all my pay
was found dead on the floor

(chorus)
and it’s ki+li+riddi ki+whiskey+and+rye
i’m locked in a rat+hole with ten!
for i’m off to venus to work in the mine
and i won’t be a free man again!

computer man 4 said: “you’ve been here before.”
and i didn’t have long to wait
the salt mines of venus, the maximum crime
mine is the maximum fate

say goodbye to earth and say goodbye to mars
and dear old sector 2
tell all the old sp+ce rats ’round woomera pub
there but for god’s grace go you
(chorus)
and it’s ki+li+riddi ki+whiskey+and+rye
i’m locked in a rat+hole with ten!
for i’m off to venus to work in the mine
and i won’t be a free man again!

(chorus)
and it’s ki+li+riddi ki+whiskey+and+rye
i’m locked in a rat+hole with ten!
for i’m off to venus to work in the mine
and i won’t be a free man again!
