Letra The ballad of narelle Mental As Anything

The ballad of narelle

Number seventeen Normal St in NormalvilleIt's the house of normal Bruce and NarelleIt's a party, a Saturday and happilyThey're celebrating their seventh anniversary
Her best friend - Shazza did her hair today
Dress supplied by K-mart on lay away Neil Diamond's distorting on the stereo
Bruce is burning the bangers on the patioNarelle's spinning from all the G and T's she's sunkEverybody's happy, everybody's getting drunk
Footy mates in the corner are talking carsLife's good at a party in suburbia Go Narelle, Narelle, Narelle girl you give it hell
Narelle, Narelle, Narelle, Narelle yeah you give it hell So, cut to later the party is really hot
Narelle remembers that there's something that she forgot
She needs Bruce, she's looking for him everywhere
She wants Shazza to help her tidy up her hair
And then she finds them down behind the potted plantsShazza's got her hand down Bruce's pants She goes pale and still, she drops her drink, she cannot think
And Bruce and Shaz, they separate - testiculate
But she is blind, she only sees adultery
The hurt, the rage, that's her man - betrayed
And Shaz a mess, her breasts are coming from her dress
She covers them - Narelle attacks - a violent femme
They fall onto the bangers on the barbecue
They roll around, the ugly fight has drawn a crowd
The tearing hair, potato salad in the air
The rip, the dress, meringue is crushed in all the mess
With chips and cream and words obscene
The shame, the pain, the beetroot stains Go Narelle go Narelle go Narelle girl you give it hell
