The Beautiful South - Something That You Said lyrics

rate me

(Heaton/Rotheray)

The perfect love song it has no words it only has death threats

And you can tell a classic ballad by how threatening it gets

So if you walk into your house and she's cutting up your mother

She's only trying to tell you that she loves you like no other

No other, she loves you like no other.

The only emotions that I know are love and hate

And she's chopping & she's changing & it's making you afraid

I said close your eyes and imagine that I'm nice

She'll kiss you or she'll kill you but you'll just have to wait

Because some things that I do make you go blue

And something that you said made me go red

The perfect love has no emotions, it only harbours doubt

And if she fears your intentions she will cut you out

So do not raise your voice and do not shake your fist

Just pass her the carving knife, if that's what she insists

Insists, if that's what she insists

A hate tattoo on my brain and a love one on my heart

I'd love to hate you, like I love you

and just tear your dreams apart

I said close your eyes and imagine that I'm nice

Cupid's arrow looking more like Cupid's poisoned dart

Because some things that I do make you go blue

And something that you said made me go red

Because some things that I do make you go blue

And something that you said made me go red

The perfect kiss is dry as sand and doesn't take your breath

The perfect kiss is with the boy that you've just stabbed to death

Is with the boy that you've just stabbed to death

Is with the boy that you've just stabbed to death
