lyrics

About the present give it back to me
Of the past, let’s just leave
Why didn’t you recognise me on the telephone?
My nerve surprised me, it carried on and on and on
When the only aim in life’s to be the very best housewife
But errant trivialities run rife

Hate me, make it ease. Hate me…
With kicks instead of kisses, blows instead of blandishments
I hear boos echoes of hisses - (that’s just the ghostly clink of recalcitrance)
Hate me, who kissed those feet so shamelessly
And I’ll find merriment in a nosebleed

Why didn’t you recognise me? x 3
Why? Well maybe you just didn’t want to
When the only aim’s to die
by your hand, insecticide
But that lovin’ heart wouldn’t hurt a fly
Why can’t the lovin’ heart just hate me!
Make it easy! Stage please swallow up me

And you don’t know the half of it! No, you don’t know by half…
