| From way far across the sea
|
| Came an eritrean maiden she
|
| Had a one track mind and eyes for me
|
| Half blinded in the war
|
| With a pale young Anglican
|
| Who said he’d help her all he can
|
| Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend
|
| She had no mind to please him
|
| Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind
|
| There’s a little boy in a stairwell who says
|
| «I hate people like you»
|
| Got matches &cable TV half of less than 50p
|
| We all clambered over the balcony
|
| Banging on the window waking Steve
|
| Bringing with a true love his un-holy friend
|
| If you really need it
|
| You just won’t leave it behind
|
| So baby please kill me
|
| Oh baby don’t kill me
|
| But don’t bring that ghost round to my door
|
| I don’t wanna see him anymore
|
| Please kill me
|
| Oh baby don’t kill me
|
| Just don’t bang on about yesterday
|
| I wouldn’t know about that anyway
|
| Monkey asked the mouse before
|
| If she loved anybody more than he
|
| It turns you into stone
|
| Now I’m reversing down the lonely street
|
| To a cheap hotel when I can meet the past
|
| And pay it off and keep it sweet
|
| It’s sweet like nothing no
|
| It’s just like nothing at all
|
| Yes I’ve seen you there
|
| How could I help but stare
|
| It rips the heart out off your baby
|
| Now I’ve taken far too much to see
|
| Or think or touch what’s real
|
| I’m stranded on this street that
|
| Paved my only way home
|
| You really need it oh
|
| You just won’t leave it behind
|
| So baby please kill me
|
| Oh baby don’t kill me
|
| But don’t bring that ghost round to my door
|
| I don’t wanna see him anymore
|
| Please kill me
|
| Oh baby don’t kill me
|
| But don’t bang on about yesterday
|
| I wouldn’t know about that anyway
|
| Oh no
|
| He got nothing he got nothing at all |
