[00:24.36] From way far across the sea
[00:26.01] Came an Eritrean maiden she
[00:28.19] Had a one-track mind and eyes for me
[00:30.32] Half blinded in a war
[00:32.14]
[00:32.72] With a pale, young Anglican
[00:34.62] Who said he'd help her all he can
[00:36.78] Showed her Jesus and his little unholy friend
[00:41.08] She had no mind to please him
[00:43.38] Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind
[00:47.08]
[00:47.79] A little boy in a stairwell who
[00:49.45] Says 'I hate people like you'
[00:51.46] I got matchsticks and cable TV
[00:53.55] Half of less than 50P
[00:55.76] We all clambered over the balcony
[00:57.68] Banging on the window, waking Steve
[00:59.76] Bringing with the true love his unholy friend
[01:03.85] Singing, 'If you really need it
[01:06.36] You just won't leave it behind'
[01:09.53]
[01:11.94] So baby please kill me
[01:14.01] Oh baby don't kill me
[01:16.20] But don't bring that ghost 'round to my door
[01:18.48] I don't want to see him anymore
[01:20.22] Please kill me
[01:21.77] Oh baby don't kill me
[01:23.58] Just don't bang on about yesterday
[01:26.38] You know I wouldn't know about that anyway
[01:28.49]
[01:28.76] Monkey asked to the mouse before
[01:30.38] If she loved anybody more than he
[01:34.70] Turns you into stone
[01:36.29] Now I'm reversing down the lonely street
[01:38.81] Cheap hotel where I can meet the past
[01:41.50] Pay it off and keep it sweet
[01:44.12] It's sweet and it's nothing, no
[01:47.37] It's just like nothing at all
[01:50.66] You know I've seen you there
[01:52.53] How could help but stare?
[01:54.88] It rips the heart out of your baby
[01:57.61] I've taken too far too much to see or think or touch what's real
[02:02.30] Stranded on this street that paved my only way home
[02:07.90] If you really need it all
[02:10.20] You just won't leave it behind
[02:13.53]
[02:15.39] Oh please kill me
[02:17.30] Oh no don't kill me
[02:20.04] Don't bring that ghost 'round to my door
[02:21.84] I don't want to see him anymore
[02:23.72] Please kill me
[02:25.38] Oh no don't kill me
[02:27.94] Don't go on about yesterday
[02:29.83] You know I wouldn't know about that anyway
[02:31.76] Oh no
[02:35.65]
