lyrics
Tell me that you like me; honestly, involuntarily, thrice nightly. Help me with my life please.
Tell me all your pipe dreams, quiet as the night screams. Tell me that it's likely that we're falling in love. I need just to hear such words from your lips, from your heart, from your mouth from your lungs.
Do I need a telling off? Get it off my chest and we'd both be better off. Do i need a spanking?
So much steam won't you let it off and then afterwards you'll thank me. But all this screaming and shouting! Stop it. I I'd say put your money where your mouth is but I don't know where it's been.
I gotta take control. If you won't talk then I bloody will. When did this dialogue become a monologue? You know I'd say I'm sorry but I'm really not.
Tell me what it's all for cos I'm sick of feeling awful all for nothing at all.
Have another Daiquiri. If you're a bit more pissed then you cant stay mad at me. Managing my vanity at the expense of my sanity and you’re showing me just what a man should be but I’m not listening at all.
Excuse me while I dig a bigger hole
I'm a fool acting the way I do around you and you can't change anything (at all).
See you in the cemetery. Side by side for eternity in a big box under the ground so safe and sound. All forms of life are far away and no heat nor light ever touches us cos we're tucked safe in the shade.
Excuse me while I dig a bigger hole
I’m gonna take control. If you won't talk then I bloody will. When did this dialogue become a monologue? You know I'd say I'm sorry but I'm really not. So i take control. In humans' talk it's the end of the world. How can we carry on when the pteranodons and all the mastodons are gone?
