A Little Death Around the Eyes - Peter Doherty

A little death around the eyes

Your boyfriend’s name was Dave

I was bold and brave

And now you’re mine

You cook and clean and sew

When I tell you to, when I ask you to

If I ask you to

But I don’t want you to.

You don’t need tellin' twice with me

You don’t need tellin' twice

You know who wears the trousers

No one wears the trousers

In a nutshell

To break free

Ya well, you’ll never have break free of me

Your boyfriend’s name was Dave

I was bold and brave

And now you’re mine

You cook and clean and sew

When I tell you to

Dance and screw when I want you to

In a hotel room you take your medicine

On all fours, that’s your medicine

Feeling better son?

Filling in the cracks

In a nutshell

Feeling any better now?

Wish upon a star.

Some vague idea of the man you used to be

Oh the man you used to me

(Filling in the cracks)

Fee-fi-fo-fum

I smell the blood of an englishman

Be he alive or be he dead

(Filling in the cracks)

Wish upon a star

A little death around the eyes…
