about

Continuing the band's sub-specialty of writing theme songs to movies that didn't have theme songs (see also "Lady in a Cage" and "The Defilers"), here is "A Smell of Honey, A Swallow of Brine!" based on the 1966 David F. Friedman roughie of the same name, starring the incredible Stacey Walker.

lyrics

A smell of honey
A swallow of brine
A stitch in time's gonna save you nine
A chick in her prime, undeniably fine
But that pretty pretty girl is out of her mind
And the game she plays is so unkind
A smell of honey
A swallow of brine

A smell o' honey
A swallow of brine
A night on the town out on your dime
And then you find things are not so fine
When you find yourself accused of a crime
A smell of honey
A swallow of brine

Well, a swallow of brine
It's like salty salty wine
A dagger to your mind
She'll do a number on you
Until you and your balls are blue
Oh honey don't you know it's true
[Solo]
A smell o' honey
A swallow of brine
Tony the destroyer showed some spine
And brought some retribution upon her behind
Cuz the game he plays is so unkind
And that pretty girl's gone out of her mind
A smell of honey
A swallow of brine
A swallow of brine
A swallow of brine
A swallow of brine
