She'll brew a *** of bliss and then she'll pour it in your cup
She'll dance around the room until the gloom is all drunk up
She's not your normal angel, boy and of that you should be glad
For she fills a parlour naked more than many girls do clad

She's an angel from Newfoundland and St. Andrews knew her well
She's certainly no Flatrock as Tickle Harbour's boys can tell
And Jackson's and Chapple's Arms they both have been in her's
She's even been to Merasheen don't tell the other girls

Her "H"s have an "H" in them and her voice a lilting sound
But if you want sincerity no better can be found
Her love's as pure as dynamite she'll blow you off the shelf
She'll make your whisker hairs stand up and your little man an elf

She's an angel now in Tor-onto, On-tar-i-ario
She moved there when her parents died and she didn't know where to go
Ah, Mississauga knows her well and so does Hamilton
But Toronto is the place to be when she is having fun

She says she works a fancy bar called the Iron Cross Cha-pel
Where pretty men come in all dressed up and cuss and kiss as well
She cannot find a boyfriend there but she has lots of dates
They give her lots of Ecstasy and tell her it's not ****

She's an angel from Newfoundland and St. Andrews knew her well
She's certainly no Flatrock as Tickle Harbour's boys can tell
And Jackson's and Chapple's Arms they both have been in her's
She's even been to Merasheen don't tell the other girls

paws pause on pavements -
a union fresh out of blackmail -
waste collectors
start sizzling
new trash - contemporary psychotic disorders are
goon makers -
purple heads on
blue bodies cause a skirmish -
you're happy
you're shameless
little piggies in a bay of meat -
fast track to coffee cup sleeves -
I believe in Mississauga
soap operas -

In mock amuse I lay averting injury
In pretense to dominant numbers in cahoots
Frozen with disappointment’s tumor in my throat
Perfection is therapy, turn dreams to responsibilities
Living a chore compared and contested.
Stealing fools incentives, ignorant and sick in extremity
To this soul’s abhorrence shred
The essence of a messy personality
Goodness! Imposed is punishment.

Mississauga blinks in starry brilliance
Crowds of clouds run determined
Through its sky bared of substance
They fell in irony, grim and abused.
Sore muscles and tired dexterity
Limit the vastness that holds passions clarity.

Winter thaws in shades of splendor
I see harveys faces
I carry life within me, yet fall prey
To this trademark’s weakness
Alas! Daughter! You work too hard
In ease wives waste their time away
Heart with belly knots to this sigh’s regret
There once was compassion the world dominated.

I am hypocrisy I spit at!
I eat gossip off of your best friends shoulder.
Should your intelligence need polishing
Weave the naïve in, your pacifier
From the riverbank.
