Peter Doherty Lyrics

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 sow
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 telling twice with me
Don't need telling twice
You know where is the trousers
Know where is the trousers
In a nut shell
To break free
You ever break free out of me

Boyfriend's name was Dave
I was bold and brave
And now you are mine

You cook and clean and sow 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
You feeling better son?
Filling in the cracks
(In a nut shell)
Feeling any better son?
(In a nutshell oh)
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
Smell the blood of an englishman
Be he alive or be he dead
(Filling in the cracks)
All right
Wish upon a star

A little death around the eyes...
