Silver-tails have always held a particularly lowly status in my world order, yet ironically I have met and liked many. But there is nothing quite as pitiful as the truly dissolute silver-tail, down to the last survival tricks, cajoling and wittily bargaining for a beer or whatever. But even silver-tails are not invulnerable and it is real pity that their fall often evokes - it's somehow harder for them
lyrics
ELEMENTARY (TALE FOR AG)
I said to the silver-tail, your kind never fail
Every cloud is silver-lined, you triumph every time
Never seen a silver-fish, you spit into a silver dish
Winner of a silver medal
Quick-silver lies you peddle
Brought up with a silver-spoon, too rich too soon
Blessed with a silver tongue, oh yes a polished one
Never eat silver-beet, or pick up silver in the street
Go collect your discreet silver-fox
Dig into your fur-lined silver box
Silver tongue, silver-tail, all coked up and deathly pale
Wonderin' when you'll get your silver bullet
Silver-tail, a silver pervert, silver-plated silver-service
That is how you'll get your silver bullet
As the dashing young man turns to silver-grey
His magical powers seem to slide away
His silver tongue slips, and between his legs
The silver-tail dips into the dregs
The silver-tail hangs his head and begs
Silver tongue, silver-tail, all coked up and deathly pale
Wondering' when you'll get your silver bullet
Silver-tail, a silver pervert, silver-plated silver-service
That is how you'll get your silver bullet
Silver tongue, silver-tail, all coked up and deathly pale
Wonderin' when you'll get your silver bullet
Silver-tail, a silver pervert, silver-plated silver-service
That is how you'll get your silver bullet
