Michael Kamen - Sultan: The Torturer's Apprentice/A Eunuch's Life Is Hard/Play up And lyrics



A torturer's apprentice went his marry way to work one day
I bend and stretch
and ply my trade
making people all afraid
but things look black
this noose is slack
there's no one on the rack but me

Cut off in my prime
surrounded by beautiful women all the time
A eunuch's life is hard
A eunuch's life is hard
A eunuch's life is haaaaaaaard
and nothing else

hrmph
Life is rather like a game, its important that you win
and though it seems a terrible shame
if you lie and cheat and sin
play up and win the game
and never count the cost
it matters not how you play the frame
as long as you haven't lost

If I have enemies who hate my guts
I've no judge and court to try them
I pop them into boiling oil
and then I quickly fry them
if they forgive me singing hymns
I try pulling off their limbs
how quickly they abandon when
they haven't got a leg to stand on then

I'm a modern man these days I find
you have to be awfully cruel to be kind
I'm a modern man you will agree
it either you or me
