The Beautiful South - Should've Kept My Eyes Shut lyrics
(heaton/rotheray) I should've kept my eyes shut But i had to go and peep But when you saw what i saw Well, it's hard just to roll back to sleep I would've kept my eyes shut But i thought i heard you scream And i've a penchant for violence You don't seem to find in a dream The scene a little clearer My father with a rope And in the cage, centre-stage It's mother who's destined to choke And she choke and we choke On the words that we wish we'd not spoke Just when you felt you had someone to trust Out comes the man with the dagger and cloak I should've read the novels Believed every word But the stories they wrote Were so different to ones that i'd heard I should've kept my eyes shut My mouth should've closed But the mixture of vomit and blood Just crept up through my nose It became a little clearer As soon as i awoke My father stands with rope in hand A screaming mother kneels in hope And she hope and we hope That me words that she said won't provoke A smile is removed and a petal is crushed What once was a laugh has turned into a joke You should've kept your mouth shut |
