[PUFFER]
Oh God, have mercy: your forgiveness do I need!
My string of sins ends here with this most dreadful deed!
I only meant to save my Rosa, but it?s true?
Oh, you bastard Jasper! Christ, I meant to murder you

Could I see my Rosebud threatened
By this man of massive sin?
He?d revealed his vile desires
So I had to do him in!
To my endless ruination
I took smoke to see me through
In my sweet hallucination
I saw Drood ? and thought him you!

So I say to all who hear me
You must plan a murder well
You must view your victim clearly
As you send him off to Hell!
When I killed, 'twas well-intended
Drink and smoke what did me in
For my sins, I'm apprehended:
Them's the wages of sin!
(Spoken)
Come on. Give your old love some help with the last line then, 'ey?
[Puffer & Audience]
With the wages of sin!

[Puffer (spoken)]
Cor bloody 'ell! Don't you know they 'ang women these days?
This is undoubtedly me last chorus!

[Puffer & Audience]
With the wages of sin!
