And shuffles around in her candle-lit novel
And shuffles around in her candle-lit hovel
Eli the Cowboy died drunk in his slumber
He, like a cowboy, died drunk in his slumber
Like some kind of wish with blue fingers in mittens
Like some kind of witch with blue fingers in mittens
On Mom-eaten armchairs she'd say that she had sat on
On moth-eaten armchairs, she'd say that she had sod all
"Sod all" is a British slang term, meaning nothing. So in this song "She had sod all" means "She had nothing" and that she is in poverty.
She crossed the ocean back home to her family
But they had retired to Rhodes with her Sandy
She crossed the ocean back home to her family
But they had retired to roads that were sandy
She spells like the cat and the neighbors she thickens
She smells like the cat and the neighbors she sickens
Thanks to remember, I'm weeing myself
And winds up the clock and knocks dusk from the shelf
Rome is a love that I miss very much
Drinks to remember I, me and myself
And winds up the clock and knocks dust from the shelf
Home is a love that I miss very much
