Squeeze - Tongue Like A Knife lyrics

(difford/tilbrook) The head of a hunt on the wall by a painting An upright piano stood locked by the door In through the window The light was fast fading While i spilt my whiskey All over the floor Making a mess of my words so I was trying To impress the empress with My wimpy tales Fanning her face from cigar smoke And sighing I had come close to be miles From her trail She was the j**el that Sparkled in darkness She was the love Of everyone's life She was the catch at Everyone's parties She was the one with a tongue Like a knife Her bosoms curved perfectly Lit by the fire My mind launched away In a sea of its own Her grace and her tightness I had to admire Through a who*e's breath of stories I happily told Trespa**ing my hand Fell into hot water She shot like a bullet Right out of her chair She led me away and i Was then slaughtered By the warmth of her body And her love and care Her tongue cut away And the wounds slowly opened I lay on the sails of the Ship of romance Drunk as i could be and Broker than broken and The head of my hunt Was there in my hands
