Poor Avon's dead
Poor Kerr Avon's dead
He's lyin' there in leathers, looking mean (looking mean)
He's laid out on a slat
So his nose won't get smushed flat
'Cause you know those coffins are not very high (very high)
Poor Avon's dead
Poor Kerr Avon's dead
His paranoia got him in the end (in the end)
He went and killed Roj Blake
It was more than he could take
He had nothing left to do, so now he's dead (now he's dead)
Poor Avon's dead
The Federation shot him dead
I'll bet they caught it bad from Servalan (Servalan)
She wanted him in bed
But her troops they shot him dead
I wouldn't want to be in their boots now (their boots now)
Poor Avon's dead
He shot Roj Blake, and now he's dead
He should have listened to this sound advice (sound advice)
If you let the enemy
Surround you, guns at "one, two, three..."
When they fire, you must be sure to duck your head. (duck your head)
Then, the preacher stood up, and he said: Folks, we are gathered here to moan and groan for our friend Kerr Avon who was shot down after killing his friend Blake - then there was a lot of weeping and wailing from the troops Servalan had punished, and the women who were missing Blake. He went on: People used to say that Kerr Avon was a mean, heartless person to be around. They said that he was a vicious psychotic killer who would kill all his friends sooner than greeting them, and that you should never go on a shuttle ride with him. But...
The folks who really knew him,
knew that beneath the six layers of clothes he always wore,
there beat a heart as big as a bank vault (as big as a bank vault)
Kerr Avon fought for Roj Blake's cause (he fought for Roj Blake's cause)
He fought for the ships and computers and money
He worked to free others from financial concerns
And he treated the Space Rats as equals - which was right.
He even let Blake forgive him after shooting him down on G.P.
And so what if every woman he kissed ended up dead - it was worth it!
