A Humble Servant Horrified Lyrics by The Cog Is Dead

Songs of the People

0

Standing in the freezing snow
There’s a lovely girl I know
She’s been slaving all day long for him
She can’t even feel her skin
Hypothermia sets in
Out there freezing while he sips his gin
Ooh, it kills me when I see her cry...
Nobody deserves this kind of life
A humble servant horrified
Ooh, she’s fading as the years go by
Somebody should get her out of there
Or else she’ll likely die
Born into the lower class
Serving him his brandy glass
Day and night she meets his every whim
Living in a freezing hole
While he’s upstairs burning coal
He’s a monster but she’s bound to him
Ooh, it kills me when I see her cry...
Nobody deserves this kind of life
A humble servant horrified
Ooh, she’s fading as the years go by
Somebody should get her out of there
Or else she’ll likely die
Melanie, won’t you come with me
I can take you away
To a magical, mystical
Land, you’ll see, it will truly be
Somwhere you can be free
All you have to do, is take my hand
Toward the ending of the day
Serving him his dinner tray
She’s been thinking of a way to leave
Sleeping powder in his corn
Or handkerchief with chloroform
He’s a bit too trusting and naive
Ooh you’ve got to do it carefully
Gotta play it cool, you wouldn’t want
For him to notice or to see
Ooh, now just a dash is all you need!
Everything is lining up tonight
And soon you’ll be freed!
Melanie, won’t you come with me
I can take you away
To a magical, mystical
Land, you’ll see, it will truly be
Somwhere you can be free
All you have to do, is take my hand
