The Psychøtic Reactiøn

I’ve got bad taste!Head to the west, thirty miles from Herne Bay,
Curves into the distance, the broad majestic Medway,
A rare delight in this part of the world,
That can be found attached to a certain kind of girl,
For a kind of pollution, severe in these parts,
He has a degree of devotion, that borders on art,

I have found just what I’m looking for,
Rough and tumble on the banks of the Medway,
Superior variety to Thanet or Shepway,
They make you itch, but it’s all part of the fun,
I have found just what I’m looking for,
Rough and tumble on the banks of the Medway,
Superior variety to Thanet or Shepway,
Occupational hazard when catching a live one,

And I’ve got bad taste,

The chamber of horrors is open tonight,
Come on inside, the feeding frenzy’s in full-flight,
Hunting in packs, bottled beer in hand,
Act out the rituals, replayed across the land,
The crab connoisseur bides his time at the bar,
He’s been here before, can’t you tell by the scars?

I have found just what I’m looking for,
Rough and tumble on the banks of the Medway,
Superior variety to Thanet or Shepway,
They make you itch, but it’s all part of the fun,
I have found just what I’m looking for,
Rough and tumble on the banks of the Medway,
Superior variety to Thanet or Shepway,
Occupational hazard when catching a live one.
