lyrics

You've got a barbed wire satchel and a notebook in chains,
where the Sandman's secret someone scrawled out her name,
the Sandman sent you dreams filled with monsters of clay
where the tooth fairy's hollow was a mouthful of graves.
In your bed,
awake by a thread,
scared to sleep,
with the sand still under the sheet.

Na na na na...

From the cradle to the table, they opened her chest,
and placed a blackened crow's heart inside her breast,
you kissed her by a gravestone, a cross with no name,
held her round the waist and danced the tango again.
But baby hangs the scarecrow with her hair as a rope,
she planted seeds in your mouth so when they blossom you'll choke,
and when she laughs a song seems to rasp from her throat (like)

Na na na na...

Barbed wire braces, barbed wire teeth,
yellow brick road, don't know where it leads,
you didn't like school 'cause the teachers decreed
you and her were bad, bad seeds.

She's watering your throat so her flowers will bloom,
throwing up the roses in your parents' room.
Tried to say "I love you" with a heart shaped balloon.
Don't believe me...

Garage / new wave band by way of Melbourne. This release collects their early EPs and singles, offering up a little more snarl and bite than latter LPs. Sheer bliss. hjeartzz
