Lyrics

Plundering pacifistic pirate
Proudly pontificating
Purple prose
Preening precious ponce
Prancing peacock plumage
Ponderous prattle

Pompous pilgrim, penniless prince
Peddling pentameter, pontificating since
Since, since…. ever

Adelantado de la Poesía
Wanker

Pilfered pathos, pawned-off pain
Plundering the pantry of a failing alliterative old man’s brain
Preening in the mirror, who’s that prat?
Plumage all a-quiver     oh.
Ohhhhhhh
He’s all that.

Herald of himself, his own advance guard
Planting flags in puddles, claiming it’s hard
Hard, hard…. work

Adelantado de la Poesía
Wanker

Neruda trembles, Sor Juana sighs
Cyclops tears streaming from
His cerulean eye
Move over, giants     make some space
For six pence of pamphlet and a punchable face

Adelantado de la nunca…
Herald of nada 
Mírate.     look at you
Adelantado de la Poesía
Wanker.

Fair enough, fair, fair enough
he’s definitely all that
He, heee’s all that!
