Dippy's Last Trip - The Verlaines

Dippy likes smoking cigarettes

Dippy likes alcohol

Dippy likes all kinds of soul destruction

I think it’s got him gracefully old

Can’t continue chafing the bit

My fingers are all minus the tips

A friend got railroaded

His pick-ups got eroded

I remembered that on Dippy’s last trip

Puts me off retiring early

Puts me off being admired

Puts me off all sorts of social clap-trap

I think it’s got me gracefully high…

Frustrated at the price that is

My fingers are all minus the tips

A friend got railroaded

His pick-ups got eroded

I remembered that on Dippy’s last trip…
