he wouldn't give you the steam off his porrige (or p*ss)
so hungry my stomach think's my throat's been cut
up she jumped and off flew her knickers
out must be full, because they're all out
hot as the hobs of hell
he wasn't long going in the end(when someone dies)

I'd eat the crotch of a low flying duck

If you fall down and break your leg, don't come running to me

He has so many notches on his bedpost, he's sleeping on a pile of splinters

he's so full of sh1t, his eyes are brown

He's such a w@nker, I'm amazed he can see where he's going
