New world dittiesBecause i've been asked about the song by a few people now, i think it's only fair to share 
No no Heinrich
- a Flembic Jaunt
As I was one day passing, a tavern by the shore
I saw a fellow stagger out, full of gay galore
His tankard, it still foaming, and he said with crooked smile
“the silver polish on this thing, would make you run a mile”
Chorus:
No no Heinrich,
that’s not what that is for!
Don’t shove the <item> up your nose
It’s something I deplore
So put that <item> on the ground
And step, step, step away
Just think of all the other games
That you can go and play
Weeeellllll…..
So then we went a wander, though docklands and brink
Me, looking for some help, him, looking for a drink
Then finally we settle, near a hostel, close at hand
But soon as my back was turned I found him in the sand
there we sat till day was night and night did turn to day
And stared into the sunrise, it’s myriad of rays
The ocean lapped around us and then started to recede
But should’nt I have known it, he started smoking the seaweed
And as the morning sprinted, forward t’ward the noon
I knew my time with heinrich would be ending soon
And so I grabbed my pistol, but much to my surprise
It was my shot and powder bag on which he’d set his eyes
As the fire faded, As the smoke withdrew
As Heinrich looked on, pale and gaunt, I knew what I must do
Nor more for the tankard, the pitcher, shot or rhind
Such samples, beg your pardon, are not for human kind
No no Heinrich,
that’s not what you should do!
You take those thing upon yourself
You’ll soon be dead and blue
So pay respect for Heinrich
And step, step, step away
Such games as these you should not play
To see another day
Such games as these you should not play
To see another day
