10. The Duke Of Beaufoot 

The Duke of Beaufoot is not at home today 

He's very tired he thought he'd go away 

You wait for him your eyes are on the door 

You know no other way 

The Duke of Beaufoot is very kind to cats 

Keeps them in his cellar to help him catch his rats 

He's very noble and his lineage is pure 

But you, you're whore 

The Duke of Splendour just wasn't much amused 

And now you knew you'd been abused 

If you'd had help you might have buggered up his fuse 

But alone you're too confused 

He picked me up 

I was on the street 

He made it clear he would use me 

My parents died, I was three years old 

I had to make a living 

Close your eyes 

Close your eyes 

In a lot of ways I am close to him 

Though he may seem to ignore it 

I'm sure he cares 

At least I think he does 

It's just he's very busy 

Close your eyes 

Close your eyes 

Here's today, says the telegraph 

It's the world, it's the world 

Gone away on a phonograph 

Riding high, riding high 

There's a way says the cenotaph 

You will find, you will find 

Gone in search of an epitaph 

Running wild, running wild 

You saw them coming forward 

Asking you to be kind 

You couldn't face their council 

They were men full of greed 

In your position nothing's sacred 

You have only the wine 

You stand alone 

But not alone in your loneliness 

And yet there must be more 

I can't believe that all has been in vain 

If there is, it's be sure of friendship 

As the hours grow long 

Rest assured that this phase is passing 

Give yourself a chance
