a lovely day

my uncles took me

my tongue real dry

I needed iced cream

or I would fry

all they had was

three big greens

three iced creams

a trip to Syria

their one desire

my two lovely uncles

C G
my two lovely uncles
Am F
they went away

they're both still inside me

how will I go on

without their firm musk
C G
echoing through me
Am F
from dawn until dusk
(chorus 3)

I'll keep them alive

with my thoughts in my brain

your oceans of love

my two lovely uncles

slain from above
