From way far across the sea
Came an eritrean maiden she
Had a one track mind and eyes for me

Half blinded in the war

With a pale young Anglican

Who said he'd help her all he can
Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend
She had no mind to please him

Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind

There's a little boy in a stairwell who says

"I hate people like you"
Got matches & 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
If you really need it

You just won't leave it behind

So baby please kill me

Oh baby don't kill me
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
I wouldn't know about that anyway


Monkey asked the mouse before
If she loved anybody more than he
It turns you into stone

Now I'm reversing down the lonely street
To a cheap hotel when I can meet the past
And pay it off and keep it sweet

It's sweet like nothing no
It's just like nothing at all


Yes I've seen you there
How could I help but stare
It rips the heart out off your baby

Now I've taken far too much to see
Or think or touch what's real
I'm stranded on this street that

Paved my only way home

You really need it oh

You just won't leave it behind

So baby please kill me

Oh baby don't kill me
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

But don't bang on about yesterday
I wouldn't know about that anyway
Oh no


He got nothing he got nothing at all
