Look black in anger

Having a ramble through the Grauniad's archive, and came across this plug for an old series called Goths (or should that be Goffs?). Nice bit about Craig Adams, but what really made me giggle was this...
"Some years later, Leeds-based goth band the m*****n rewrote the song, lending it a wonderfully provincial and distinctly Yorkshire flavour. They simply did it to amuse themselves so it was never released. Which is a shame because it might have killed off the whole goth movement in the three-and- a-half minutes flat it took to listen to. The lyrics go like this: "The flat cap's on the 'at stand/ The whippets 'ave bin fed/ Bela Lugosi's dad."
Granted, it's by the Mish, but any chance anyone has the rest of the lyrics? I'll swop ya an MP3 of Bill Bailey's version of the song from his Cockney Medley...
