Squeeze - Slaughtered, Gutted and Heartbroken lyrics

rate me

(Difford/Tilbrook)

Slaughtered gutted and heartbroken

With no spirit or no soul

My emotions have been stolen

Love has left me with this hole

Now my heart's a deep dark cavern

Emptiness is all I feel

I'm the pig she tried to fatten

And now all I do is squeal

But things could be worse

Things could be very bad for me

O' my dear I find myself

A stitch short of a tapestry

Patience on the verge of breaking

I'm kicking cans around the street

Like a bad cold I need shaking

Like a fool I want to cheat

But to me she was an angel

And I went and let her down

The attraction was so fatal

That she kicked me off her cloud

The light was on there in her window

I saw her shadow moving around

I tried to stand on tip toes

Hoping that she might look down

I wanted so bad to call her

But I had to walk away

Slaughtered, gutted and heartbroken

Another diamond down the drain
