Lyrics

In the ancient Greece of Sappho Gynaecology was magic and art The womb was thought to wander To other body parts

The hippocratic thesis was 'Force the wandering womb to stop Hysteria means wombiness' Blood fever and anguish Insane women in myth Like Phaedra Were all hysterics

To the hips the womb would wander Attracted by the scent of opium poppies A medical substitute for something longer

If that method didn't do the trick An irritant one could try Into the vagina - instead of a prick Stick cantharid beetle, known as Spanish Fly

'Give sensual rewards and seed It's what wombs want It's what they need.'
