Courtney Love-A Spoonful of Bones

A Spoonful of Sugar

In every job that must be done

There is my procrastination

One finds the bones and slap

It’s all the same

In every job that must be done

There is an element of fun

You find the fun and snap!

The job's a game

And every task by the undertaker

Is soaked in bloody cake

And exotic meats, dead larks, and shopping sprees

And every task you undertake

Becomes a piece of cake

A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that

And a spoonful of strychnine

Helps this life of black and gray

Pass so far away into red, red clouds

And a spoonful of arsenic

One can’t even taste

Help your broken heart fade forever not just

Now

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

The medicine go down, the medicine go down

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

In a most delightful way

A vulture feathering her nest

Does it deliberate and slow

Gathering carrion and worms and glides to

Warn you so, so slow

So intent in her pursuit to warn you of the storm

That hasn’t stopped from the day that you

Were born

A robin feathering his nest

Has very little time to rest

While gathering his bits of twine and twig

Though quite intent in his pursuit

He has a merry tune to toot

He knows a song will move the job along

You’re in the cold

And there’s no place to keep you warm…

The hornets buzz around you

There nest has fallen from the willows

The flowers tried to warn you now they wilt

Because they buzz on your misery

They’re coming just like plagues

And they think that you don’t believe in guilt

And here you are surrounded by the grind

And the buzz

Fun for them

But not for you, no ever!

The honey bees that fetch the nectar

From the flowers to the comb

Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro

Because they take a little nip

From every flower that they sip

And hence (And hence)

They find (They find)

Their task is not a grind

Just a spoonful of hemlock

Helps it all go away

Forever and ever and ever

Just a spoonful of cyanide

Makes sure that no one came

And you won’t have to wake up

No, not ever
