lyrics

At first I was afraid of
The look upon her face
And the meat cleaver looking restless in her hand
In my disheveled state I
Could tell she was just waiting
To second guess a lying cheating man

At first I was terrified of
The look in both her eyes
And the meat cleaver looking restless in her palm
Now I am quite naive
But even I can clearly see that
The chances were that I would come to harm

Faster than sound
Appear without a trace
Got an attitude like a slap in the face
Next thing I know
I'm pinned back in my seat
Being slapped around like a bloody slab of meat
You look at me like you could cut me open
You have a cleaver in your smile
When I'm sarcastic it is you I think of
Lying unconscious on the tile

I know that I'm XY but
Somehow I still sleep at night
Despite the bad my genes compel me to perform
I suppose it's just the fashion
A desperate crime of passion
We've learned our lesson, we have had our turn

Faster than sound
Appear without a trace
Got an attitude like a slap in the face
Next thing I know
I'm pinned back in my seat
Being slapped around like a bloody slab of meat
You look at me like you could cut me open
You have a cleaver in your smile
When I'm sarcastic it is you I think of
Lying unconscious on the tile

about

Prodding Juliet England, UK

Prodding Juliet were a three-piece indie band from Durham, UK, that made a fair bit of noise between 2008 and 2010. In the years since then we managed to finish creating our debut/swansong album at a snail's pace and can finally rest in peace.
