The Cushion Effect
I fell hard on my arse
damaged that spot
sitting hurts
it came as a surprise
falling hard on my arse
where's that cushion
those stairs hurt like hell
when I fell on my arse
ok I was a little drunk
or was it that gutter late last night
falling hard on my arse
where's the ice pack
my knees are wobbly
hope I don't fall flat on my arse
bum cheeks black and blue
can't walk too far
for my tail bone I cry
sorry for falling on my arse
where's the panadol
I fell on my arse
from a very high place
the world looks different
from where I sit
knock me down a peg or two
falling on my arse
feeling a little guttsy in the tummy
a shock to the stomach
when I fell on my arse...
damaged that spot
sitting hurts
it came as a surprise
falling hard on my arse
where's that cushion
those stairs hurt like hell
when I fell on my arse
ok I was a little drunk
or was it that gutter late last night
falling hard on my arse
where's the ice pack
my knees are wobbly
hope I don't fall flat on my arse
bum cheeks black and blue
can't walk too far
for my tail bone I cry
sorry for falling on my arse
where's the panadol
I fell on my arse
from a very high place
the world looks different
from where I sit
knock me down a peg or two
falling on my arse
feeling a little guttsy in the tummy
a shock to the stomach
when I fell on my arse...
