Murderers, The Hope of Women |
With this knife I cut the cake |
Who will be my bride today |
Sweet Fanny Adams |
Watch her climb the step ladder |
A present from her stepfather |
Sweet Fanny Adams |
See her reaching out and stripping down the muslin drapes |
A cover for her nakedness, a veil for her face |
With curtains for your wedding dress |
You must take your place amongst |
The Proper Little Madams |
And now because I love you |
I must take my place too |
Amongst the murderers, the hope of women |
Death in every new beginning |
I must take this woman for my sentence of life |
And she must take my knife |
I will buy a ring of gold |
And you will practise birth control |
Sweet Fanny Adams |
Like a puppet on a string |
Of oestrogen and progesterone |
Sweet Fanny Adams |
This is where your misery starts |
This is where your mystery stops |
We’ll rent a television |
To replace Pandora’s Box |
And I will wear a business face |
And you will learn your proper place |
From those Proper Little Madams |
And in my world of cut and thrust |
I will learn that my place, my place must … |
Be with the murderers, the hope of women |
Death in every new beginning |
I must take this woman for my sentence of life |
And she must take my knife |
In my pipe and slippers |
Do I look like Jack The Ripper? |
Sweet Fanny Adams |
But I poisoned you with every kiss |
Smothered you with domestic bliss |
Sweet Fanny Adams |
Underneath the suntan from the sun lamp that we bought |
Your face is paler than the pale face of a corpse |
And from the seventh floor of our bungalow |
You flung yourself down to where they stood below |
Those Proper Little Madams |
But in white hair, wrinkles and false teeth |
I escaped detection by the police |
One of the murderers, the hope of women |
Death in every new beginning |
I must take this woman for my sentence of life |
And she must take my knife |
