Lyrics The Stranglers

The Stranglers

Coup De Grace

Hey babe take a chance on me

I'll be your man tonight

Just tell me when you've had enough

Then I'll apply the coup de grace

If I were to live forever

I'd hope you'd apply the coup de grace

Hey babe take a chance with me

I'll take you down the river tonight

A full moon with a big wolf too

The end won't be a pretty sight

And then we seeking something

We need the coup de grace

O lord I'm on my knees, save our holes

Or it's the coup de grace, save our holes

Hey babe I'm a bum tonight

I need somewhere to sleep

I'll love you now and I'll love you then

But in the morning you will weep
