Hey! Susan Lyrics by Mekons

Original Sin

1986

Intro:
We’re backstreet in New York
The rehearsal studio of the Mekons
[Verse 1]
He thought education would be the way out
He'd read the books and learned by rote
But they walked past in their gowns
They were worlds apart
A man like him just had no place
[Verse 2]
He started drinking too much
And one night in the pub he saw his wife behind the bar
They arranged a divorce but spent the night together
So he destroyed the one he loved
[Verse 3]
Susan turned to religion, Amen!
After the tragedy, the death of her children
And returned to her husband and gave her body to him
She said it was her duty
[Verse 4]
His mind was free but he'd nothing left at all
He cursed the night in which he was conceived
While the witless upper classes attended the boat race
He died
