Under an Existing Table


Mon amour mon ami
Mon amour mon ami
Mon amour mon ami

I was sharing my mattress

With three trainee nuns

In the corner of my cramped room

A battered record player

Was repeating the same song

As I had scratched my only record

The smallest of the three nuns

Looked at me from beneath the quilt

She recognised the song from her convent

I told her the story of my visit to a record store

My girlfriend of the time liked Jonny XXX

But I ended up purchasing another LP

As I liked one of the recorded songs

The negro behind the counter

Tried to rip me off without shame

As I was a young Spanish visitor

Who fucked young nuns as a part time hobby

I called the manager who sacked the assistant

He waited for me in alleyway after night fell

He would either kill me or I would kill him

But nothing happened and we became good friends

Who shared young nuns until he was finally deported

My favourite was a girl from Alsace

Who I soon named

La nonne aux yeux d'or

As she had been blind since birth
