Fear Is A Man's Best Friend - John Cale

Lyrics

Animal Justice

Hedda Gabler

Hedda Gabler
Had a very funny face
Tired of waiting
Tired of the human race

Like her brother
Sitting in the library
Reading how dear Adolph
Was going to save all Germany

Hedda Gabler
She'll go down in history
Hedda Gabler
Down in all her misery

Like her mother
Married to the bank manager
She took the money
Hung him in the closet for fun

Hedda Gabler
She'll go down in history
Hedda Gabler
Down in all her misery

Hedda Gabler
She'll go down in history
Hedda Gabler
Down in all her misery

Sleep... sleep.... sleep, Hedda Gabler
Sleep... sleep.... sleep, Hedda Gabler
Sleep... sleep.... sleep, Hedda Gabler
Sleep... sleep.... sleep, Hedda Gabler
Sleep... sleep.... sleep, Hedda Gabler
Sleep... sleep.... sleep, Hedda Gabler
