500 pounds

After watching this I just had to do a hatchet job on an old standard:

500 Pounds

If you miss the plane I'm on,
I will know that you are gone.
Cause I've dropped 500 pounds upon your head.
Five hundred pounds, Five hundred pounds,
Five hundred pounds, Five hundred pounds,
Cause I've dropped 500 pounds upon your head.

Lord it's one, Lord it's two,
Lord it's three and Lord it's four,
Lord it's five hundred pounds upon your head.

Not a shirt on your back,
Not a penny left intact.
Oh, I will blow your arse to hell this-away
This-a way, this-a way,
This-a way, this-a way,
Oh, I will blow your arse to hell this-away

If you miss the plane I'm on,
I will know that you are gone.
Cause I've dropped 500 pounds upon your head.
Five hundred pounds, Five hundred pounds,
Five hundred pounds, Five hundred pounds,
Cause I've dropped 500 pounds upon your head.

Aw, I thought from the poem that you were referring to the bomb hoax story from that Australian girl who missed her flight.

Must be stored on a slow server. The file is less than a megabyte in size. I saved and renamed the file sniper_gets_sniped_US_style.

Julian Taylor - wow. This Aussie girl's living in the UK? I guess what we keep hearing about the Australian brain drain is true, huh?
