New Zealand jeweller
| Along time ago, | And when I came back, | is |
| what it takes to tart. | ||
| when I was still silly | I thought this job is | |
| space. | So bash and beat, | |
| I worked in a factory, | Off I ran to Trance (i) | |
| melt and heat. | ||
| in the big city. | to never go | |
| back, | seems to me I make in sleep, | |
| But crazy I went, | and changed my name to Mili. | no time |
| for peep to count her sheep. | ||
| to hell I was sent. | I left my life in | |
| cityville, | Dale said we need a photo, | |
| While I was screaming, | to which friends were cynical. | oh god a |
| icy, what a low blow. | ||
| also was dreaming. | its good to live by the sea, | She |
| said about yourself, | ||
| Of baubles and bands, | in mountainous taranaki. | tell |
| with your mouth. | ||
| and things for the hands. | Dale said, make some art, | No time |
| to talk, a photos fine, | ||
| I have to work or not to dine. | ||
| So buy something please, | ||
| for i have skinny knees | ||
| I could be sold | ||
| if you wanted in gold. | ||
| It would please me no end | ||
| chunks of silver to send. | ||
| So design your own piece, | ||
| send to mother or niece. | ||
| Ill make it twice as nice , | ||
| for half the price | ||
| if US dollars you send. | ||
| cheers and beers | ||
