Lyrics

Hear my tale - I'm norman normal, always humble, mild and meek
In my bank a lowly banker - run-down brach on nowhere street
'Till one day a stranger called - a fetid bible black he laughed
Said "sonny I don't want your money, I don't need an overdraft

Boy you have a great potential, don't you let it go to waste
My offer ends - so it's essential that you hurry on (make haste!)
For a life of milk and honey sign along the dotted line..
Thirty years of girls and money - at the end your soul is mine!"

No one can dissuade me - I'm donw on my knees
My conscience says "no" - my libido "yes please!"
If I put my pen to paper for eternity I'm damned
If I don't I'll never be the singer in a fiddel band
Can anyone blame me? - I don't think they'd dare
My soul says "no way" - but my mouth cries "oh yeah!"

Here I am - your good friend norman, not so humble anymore
Others age - but I look younger, stronger that I did before
I used to drive a fiat panda - now a lime green cadillac
Guess my story goes to show not all the 'devils' own' dig black

I know there is a price I must pay for my thirty years misspent
When my satanic manager recoups my soul (100%)
I'll meet him at the crossroads, midnight chimes - my time has come
To party with the 'porno-queens' down by the shores of acheron

I'll party on in acheron!

No one could dissuade me - I fell to my kness
My conscience said "no" - my libido "yes please!"
I have put my pen to paper and eternally am damned
I've squandered my immortal soul by singing in a fiddle band
Could anyone blame me? - I don't think they dare
My soul said "no way" - but my mouth cried "oh yeah!"

'Evil I did dwell - lewd did I live' -
It's a small price to pay for the gift that he gives
Was it all worth it? - I'm too drunk to tell
I swap my cocaine for the brimstone of hell

The end
