What does Brett "rap" at the end of Stay Together? David Barnett, author of Love and Poison: The Authorised Biography, answers this via a Facebook post from some years ago (per this thread):

“Here you go:

Time to wheel this out for the millionth time ... My best attempts at transcribing the two very different Stay Together 'raps', taken from collating various attempts by other fans over the years …

Recorded version: ad-libbed live in the studio, September 1993

'It's my father he stands around the farm

Now the world shines from his hands

It started in my time

Time can fucking do that

I don't need his heart that steals the sky

Not this land

Not when this gets his hand

Not tonight

Not tonight when the fires come down

Not tonight on the sickly scowls of his hand

Not tonight when he's stealing another heart

Not his style

Not to steal the car

Not to take me back to the past

Don't take me down to the farm where the cars are there

Don't take me there

Fire in the hands of the drunken

Take me somewhere else'

Live rap: especially written for the live performances, circa November 1993 (note, this changed slightly between concerts but the themes were similar and it always ended with the whipping up a storm rant.

'Now see our lives in the shadow of a gun

Looking for a girl where the pigs won't come

Cried sixteen tears for every year

Shacked up together while we burn in fear

Now here lies the shadow of a god

Hanging in the sky like a star from the son

Snap crack a single bed

Whipping up a storm like a fucker from the dead

See our lives in the shadow of a gun

In a little hole where the pigs come from

Cried sixteen tears for every year

Shacked up together with a bird in here

Now hear our lies in the shadow of a gun

Hanging in the sky like a comet from the sun

Smash grab in the concrete dream

White noise falls to the tune of the dream

Have another ciggie on his hands and knees

Now see our lives in the shadow of a gun

Took a little girl in the shadow of a gun

Single tears for every year

Shacked up together with a bird in here

Shout pout in a single bed

Whipping up a storm like a fucker from the dead

Whipping up a storm like a fucker from the dead...'"
