Boning Halls

(album: Graffiti Tongue - 1996)

Boning halls, we're talking boning halls
Boning halls, talking 'bout boning halls
Rich cowmen ride around the boning hall
Weighing up every chop that comes across the trimming board
Like kings around the cattle mart, smooth and razor sharp
Scrawny auld scrag-end tenderized by stamping in the

Boning halls
Boning halls
Where the carcass is stripped down to the bone
All the flesh gets ripped off a country

Bone meal, Angel Dust
T-bone steak, hormones and nitrogen
And sweet gravy
When the beef is on the block
The knife is on the stone
We've just been told the bung
Was underneath the counter of the

Boning hall
Boning hall
Where the carcass is stripped down to the bone
All the flesh gets ripped off a country

When the beef is over
We'll be back in order
Our cleavers well sharpened
We'll be ready for the slaughter in the

Boning hall
Boning hall
Where the carcass is stripped down to the bone
All the flesh gets ripped off a country

Boning halls, we're talking boning halls
Boning halls, talking 'bout boning halls
