“Peter Murphy's Little Dog”

Description

This teasing song involves Murphy giving his girl friend a dog that wants to poke its nose into the woman's privates.

Notes

As is common with teasing songs, this is a fragmentary ballad at best, each verse ricocheting off the previous into a new direction. - EC
