Verse
Bb F
From way far across the sea came an Eritrean maiden she
Gm
Had a one track mind and eyes for me half blinded in a war.
Cm F
With a pale young Anglican who said he'd help her all he can.
Bb Eb
Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend.
Cm F Bb
She had no mind to please him just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind
A little boy in a stairwell who says "I hate people like you.”
Got matchsticks & cable TV, half of less than 50p.
We all clambered over the balcony banging on the window waking Steve.
Bringing with a true love his un-holy friend.
Singing, if you really need it you just wont leave it behind.
Middle
Bb Eb
So baby please kill me, oh baby don't kill me.
F
But don't bring that ghost round to my door, I don't wanna see him anymore.
Please kill me, oh baby don't kill me.
Just don't bang on about yesterday, you know I wouldn't know about that anyway, oh no.
Verse
Monkey asked the mouse before if she loved anybody more than he.
It turns you into stone.
Now I'm reversing down a lonely street,
To a cheap hotel when i can meet the past.
And pay it off and keep it sweet.
So sweet like nothing no, it’s just like nothing at all.
I’ve seen you there how could I help but stare,
It rips the heart out of your baby.
You've taken far too much to see or think or touch what's real,
Stranded on this street that paved my only way home.
If you really need it oh, you just won't leave it behind.
Middle
Bb Eb
Ahh, please kill me, ahh no don't kill me.
F
But don't bring that ghost round to my door, I don't wanna see them anymore
Please kill me oh no don't kill me.
But don't go on about yesterday, you know I wouldn't know about that anyway oh no.
