Let's Kill The Ones We Love 04:07
lyrics
Let’s kill the ones we love Let’s put them in the ground So they can never hurt us They can never let us down Let’s make martyrs of our lovers Oh they look so good in black And I’ll wear the veil forever I was never one for tact We’ll sing Nick Cave at the coffin side "Death Is Not The End" Throw parties of remembrance For our late departed friends Who never cut us never made us bleed Metaphorically or not Who never cheated never had the chance Faithful as they rot And we’ll tenderly tend the grave sides I’ll grow roses for you love And I’ll will the day until i die And join you in the mud Let's make martyrs of our lovers Paint their likeness on the walls Gold foil halos glinting In the moonlight, in the sun Light a candle for each darling You have buried 6 feet down You could light up a cathedral Or burn one to the ground Lets kill the ones we love Before they kill us first With their anger, with their shame With their lust with their thirst Let's bury all our lovers How beautiful they lie What an honour tis to love so pure, for To be loved to is to die

What I Want I'll Take (b-side) 03:00
lyrics
You tell me that you think I’m pretty but I don’t really hear the words cause the music is quite loud - you put your hand on my back, you lead me to the bathroom - I don’t know what you were planning but now the ushers stopped you Here come the drums on the record on the mixing desk and the DJ is getting it wrong again and again and I think you want to break him down - I think you want to break him down You step outside and now I think you want to smoke a cigarette - here comes the rain and I’m getting absolutely soaking wet - I say I’ll get a taxi, you say your flat is round the corner - close to the metro station, I could pick it up in the morning Yeah, I’m lead by your shaking hands, your key barely fits in the lock on the door and you’re leading me up the fifth floor and my dress is coming off down onto the floor and another night between the sheets on an unknown bed - another headboard and I have hit my head - Another night not having much to really think about - on the bottom of your list of priorities There’s something that you want from me that you’ll take The last girl you spent with; she didn’t stand a chance now did she? Whatever it was you put in her drink went to her head too quickly. No one could have guessed what happened next. Just another unknown girl with so many absent friends. And now you’re waking up with a hole in your skull - looking for your empathy I dug as deep as I could go and there are sequins and feathers coming out of your pretty boy mouth and if they ask me why I’ll say I couldn’t help myself - I couldn’t help myself - just like you couldn’t help yourself There’s something that I want from you that I’ll take
