In the Greenwold southside society pool
I love your amethyst eyes and your protestant thighs
You're a shimmering socialite jewel."

How many mistakes did she make with those never blinking eyes?

I like my lyrics plain and simple.

"Fucking hell, you're a cunt and you stink of cocks."

you're an utter moron who is pleased by swear words and other such unfunny childish dogshit and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Not strictly one line but hey, good anyway.

I've got a dick for a brain
And my brain is gonna sell my ass to you

and there's no driver at the wheel
