Tattoo |
| Sadness has filled a lonely place |
| Before that there’s just a hole |
| At least now there’s sadness on my face |
| My lower lip has finally found it’s role |
| So the wind and the rain and the snow |
| Had no particular place to go |
| So they thought they’d come and spend some time with me |
| They’re better friends than you could ever be |
| There’s a tattoo, a small tattoo |
| Waiting there unpaid for you |
| And if you ever bump into Unlucky |
| Don’t forget who broke your heart in two |
| You better get there early, there’s a million in the queue |
| Just waiting for the name on their tattoo |
| Emptiness has filled a vacant heart |
| And finally found a place for it to hide |
| And as I wander like a fool from bar to bar |
| Empty has become my greatest guide |
| And the tears and the pain and the despise |
| Looks at me through bankrupt eyes |
| And they had nowhere else that they could land |
| So I invited them to take my bloody hand |
| So queuing for a tattoo and I can’t decide the name |
| I’ve been wondering night after night |
| When they put that needle in me I’ll scream your name in pain |
| And I hope he spells 'you bastard' right |
| B-A-S-T-A-R-D, stick that needle deep in me |
| B-A-S-T-A-R-D, stick that needle deep in me |
| In me, in me, in me |
| Stick that needle deep in me |
