LYRICS:

Let the snake bite
Let her crawl under your skin
Let it eat you from within
It's alright
The bitterness is growing
You break into my house
I’ll break into your house
Do it
I’ll do it
If you twist the knife right
I will twist the knife left
Screw it
I’ll screw it
I can hear strings
That should be for me
I can see rings
That should be for me
That should be for me
That should be for me
I count the ways
That I love you everyday
Like I count the days
Since I could recall your face
Oh the days don’t get easier
The gaps just get bigger
Until I can almost bear
Thinking of you
On my deathbed
Raise my eyes up to the lord
I know you’ll come just when I call
Stretch my hand out
It freezes in the air
There wasn’t anybody there
Now my house is your house
And it is a nice house
Screw it, screw it
I will twist my knife right
I will twist my knife left
Do it
I’ll do it
I can hear bells
That should ring for me
I can taste hell
That should be for me
That should be for me
That should be for me
I count the ways
That I love you everyday
Like I count the days
Since I could recall your face
Oh the days don’t get easier
The gaps just get bigger
Until I can almost bear
Thinking of you
I love the way
That I can’t escape the pain
How it hangs ‘round my heart
Like the letters in your name
Oh the days don’t get easier
The gaps just get bigger
Until…
Oh the days don’t get easier
The gaps just get bigger
Until I can almost bear
Thinking of you

Lyrics:
It’ll take you too
Take a long time
Limbs’ll disconnect
Like the phone lines

Keep the water on
Keep it running
I’m in the other room
Nothing happened

Make it quick
Make it quick
Make it quick so I can’t see the scythe in its sheath

I’ll put your record on
Keep it spinning
Under the LEDs
‘Til I’m seasick

Nothing lasts
Nothings lasts
Nothing lasts I know I’ve seen the scythe in its sheath

Don’t cry, we’re bound together
Each life runs its course
I’ll see you in the next one
Next time I know you’ll call

Next time you call, I’ll be your girl
You’ll be in silk and I’ll wear my furs
We can go out, I feel your mouth
Open me up
Butcher my heart

Please let me die on the street where you live

And I’ll lie here forever
Let life run its course
I’ll be there in the next one
Next time I know I’ll call

Don’t cry, we’re bound together
Each life runs its course
I’ll see you in the next one
Next time I know you’ll call

Lyrics:

Blow, winds, crack your cheeks
I can’t feel a thing anymore
I’m superior mother, I answer the call
There is no other, I capture the fall

Down to Earth, I sink
Every night I hear falling birds
They crash to the pavement, they’re crushed under foot
All the beaks, all the asphalt, I can’t bear to look

Harbour in your heart
Oysters, shards of glass from the sea
My blisters are burst where my scales used to be
I foam at the mouth, carve an axe when you speak

Woman is a tree
Tenderfoot and peerless arrived
Oh, my darling is dripping in sequins and milk
The fur of a fruit bat, our limbs line the fields

Woman is a tree
Livid hero, I am here
With deluxe understanding, I’ll shelter your soul
Sister of mine, you will never grow cold

Rifle

I Hold Your Anger

Woman is the tree
Man a clinging vine on the branch
The voices of children are heard on the hill
My heart is at rest now and everything’s
Still

Lyrics:
Now the days grow long
And your hands and tears
Are lost to the wind
Take me back, take me back
Let us walk by the shore
By the hand, by the hair
I don't care anymore
With the world at your feet
Leave footprints on my back
I'll be the first, I'll be the last
Don't want to need to go back

Chewing gum and white wine
Your cold answer's mine
I'm wasting my time
You know I hate to lose
And maybe that's why I've left you behind
I feel like I've left you behind

Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Oh-oh

Oh, against the bathroom tiles
Your back goes on for miles
I'm losing my mind
Babe, you know it ain't fair
You leave me again
He's waiting downstairs
There's always somebody downstairs

Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Ain't it nice?
Second best
Oh, ain't it good?
Second best

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
What do I do to be better for you?
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
What do I do to be better for you?
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
What do I do to be better for you?
(Now the days grow long)
What do I do to be better for you?
(And your hands and tears are all lost, to the wind)

Take me back, take me back
Let us walk by the shore
By the hand by the hair
I don't care anymore
With the world at your feet
Leave footprints on my back
I'll be first, I'll be last
Don't want to, need to go back

Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best

Take me back, take me back
Let us walk by the shore
By the hand by the hair
I don't care anymore
With the world at your feet
Leave footprints on my back
I'll be first, I'll be last
Don't want to, need to go back

With the world at your feet
Leave footprints on my back
I'll be first, I'll be last
Don't want to, need to go back

Lyrics:

Now the days grow long
And your hands and tears
Are lost to the wind
Take me back, take me back
Let us walk by the shore
By the hand, by the hair
I don't care anymore
With the world at your feet
Leave footprints on my back
I'll be the first, I'll be the last
Don't want to need to go back

Chewing gum and white wine
Your cold answer's mine
I'm wasting my time
You know I hate to lose
And maybe that's why I've left you behind
I feel like I've left you behind

Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Oh-oh

Oh, against the bathroom tiles
Your back goes on for miles
I'm losing my mind
Babe, you know it ain't fair
You leave me again
He's waiting downstairs
There's always somebody downstairs

Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Ain't it nice?
Second best
Oh, ain't it good?
Second best

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
What do I do to be better for you?
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
What do I do to be better for you?
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
What do I do to be better for you?
(Now the days grow long)
What do I do to be better for you?
(And your hands and tears are all lost, to the wind)

Take me back, take me back
Let us walk by the shore
By the hand by the hair
I don't care anymore
With the world at your feet
Leave footprints on my back
I'll be first, I'll be last
Don't want to, need to go back

Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best
Ain't it nice?
Second best
Ain't it good?
Second best

Take me back, take me back
Let us walk by the shore
By the hand by the hair
I don't care anymore
With the world at your feet
Leave footprints on my back
I'll be first, I'll be last
Don't want to, need to go back

Lyrics:

It’ll take you too
Take a long time
Limbs’ll disconnect
Like the phone lines

Keep the water on
Keep it running
I’m in the other room
Nothing happened

Make it quick
Make it quick
Make it quick so I can’t see the scythe in its sheath

I’ll put your record on
Keep it spinning
Under the LEDs
‘Til I’m seasick

Nothing lasts
Nothings lasts
Nothing lasts I know I’ve seen the scythe in its sheath

Don’t cry, we’re bound together
Each life runs its course
I’ll see you in the next one
Next time I know you’ll call

Next time you call, I’ll be your girl
You’ll be in silk and I’ll wear my furs
We can go out, I feel your mouth
Open me up
Butcher my heart

Please let me die on the street where you live

And I’ll lie here forever
Let life run its course
I’ll be there in the next one
Next time I know I’ll call

Don’t cry, we’re bound together
Each life runs its course
I’ll see you in the next one
Next time I know you’ll call

Lyrics:
I’d never been so scorned
To find your kindness didn’t last
Beyond a fry-up and my spit upon your sheets

And if I’d asked for how you’d answered
I’d’ve gone and seen my father
Down in Brompton Cemetery

I hope your back is healing from that good old flaying
And your coat’s still stained with me
Wear it with my pride pinned to the lapel
God knows I left it by mistake

God knows I left it by mistake

Good morning, good looking!
This is the killer speaking
Good morning handsome!
This is the killer on the line

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Here comes the killer!
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Here comes your girl!
x2

If only you’d been honest
Could’ve spared this bloodshed
Now I’m wanted ‘cross several county lines

When your hand is bigger than my heart
You can crush it just the way I like

You’ve got a whole lotta nerve
And a whole lotta spite
When you leave don’t look me in the eye

When you leave don’t look me in the eye

Good morning, good looking!
This is the killer speaking
Good morning angel!
This is the killer on the line

I’m down so bad I’m doing time
You look like a weeping saint
With your infected eye I’m doing time
And I’m down so bad
Hope my television appearance
Drives you fucking mad

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Here comes the killer!
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Here comes your girl!
x2

I’m down so bad
I’m doing time
You look like a weeping saint
With your infected eye
I’m doing time
And I’m down so bad
Hope my television appearance
Drives you fucking mad

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Here comes the killer!
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Here comes your girl!
