Lyrics Peter Doherty

Peter Doherty

A Little Death Around the Eyes

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 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 be to me

(Filling in the cracks)

Fe fi foe thumb

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...
