recorded while the eggs boiled on a hot and humid buenos aires backdrop

lyrics

tick tick goes the clock
drip drip goes the
sickening sweet smell
of syrup dripping
bang bang goes the boots of someone
line dancing with nancy sinatra

bark bark goes the stripping of a tree of its dignity
broom broom is so obviously the sound of someone sweeping

cough cough goes the man still too weak to open up until death is at his door

pound pound goes the dollar down long live our - queen
squeak squeak goes the door mouse with hinges too weak to reap the rapeseed

dong dong is the the sound of the gong ringing in the china dinner time

hint hint is the impotent suggestion what was the question
sigh sigh goes the end of another day again in relief
