A Heavy Price to Pay - Skyclad

She came looking for position in answer to our need

And she was a pretty flower fair as any in the field

She burst into the room and we both did feel the rush

Had young Rome in tow but we knew he’d get the push

It wasn’t very long 'til we found ourselves alone

And the business was forgotten as acquaintances were known

And then the morning after, she didn’t give a damn

Sure it’s better to be hung for a sheep as for a lamb

In answer to concerns she said she’d lik to take a chance

So she hung up and we resumed the horizontal dance

So listen all good company, it’s a cautionary tale

It’s sure to make you split your sides, weep into your ale

Oh the perils and risks we take when mixing work and play

And then when we are all exposed there’s a heavy price to pay

And then some short time later, when we were in a haze

Our company decided on a parting of the ways

And then my good companions sought to put me in a fix

To add insult onto injury with the dirtiest of tricks

With mischief and sharp practice in the drawing of the straws

The vote was rigged and it was me to show her the door

And when it was all over, one question she did pose

Was I a disappointment in the other of my roles?

So it would seem that just desserts were handed all around

And another fledgling romance came crashing to the ground

So listen all good company, it’s a cautionary tale

It’s sure to make you split your sides, weep into your ale

Oh the perils and risks we take when mixing work and play

And then when we are all exposed there’s a heavy price to pay

There’s a heavy price to pay.

Yes, there’s a heavy price to pay
