Mehndi by Atlin Merrick
(another track for the Atlin Merrick's Greatest Hits album, with only a wee apology to Barry Manilow, since we all know he probably reads as much fanfiction as we do)

Frustrated by a lack of case
His lover’s disapproving face
Nowhere in evidence
Just licking his lips now
Grinning at the sight
The sight of Sherlock

Saying now here is the call
We’ll be vendors in a Camden stall
Looking for the clues
Hiding in plain sight
And now here they are
Now they’ve got piercings and Mehndi

Sherlock saw and deduced John completely
How he loves  all the bracelets and Mehndi
Winding over his pale skin so neatly
And the game is afoot, oh Mehndi

They’re working in a Camden booth
Jealousy’s the nasty truth
Glaring and hissing and hissing and glaring
Arsonist forgotten
They are well past caring, oh Mehndi

Timmy found them a nook for their nooky
John loves the stilettos and Mehndi
Sherlock blew out his hot pants just looking
When John unfurled those wings made of Mehndi

Something is burning
Come on let’s face it
The anal play warning is
Less warning than promise in Mehndi

As they grope and they snog and they finger
John loves Sherlock’s “down there” oh Mehndi
But Then John got a hard on that lingered
Sherlock helped him out in nothing but Mehndi

Cigarette answer, smug grin on their faces
Fuck the Kensington twins, oh Mehndi
They’ll revisit the portions of this case
That started and ended w-i-i-i-i-ith Mehndi
