about

From our forthcoming album about the life of MFK Fisher

lyrics

I love the way he dresses

Love the way he commands the stage

And everyone loves a uniform

And the sense of restrained rage.



And I love the vowels he stresses

And I love the way I break

When he kisses and caresses

It is my soul to take.



Take.



I know that I am fury and I know I’m hard to please

Well my love I am always red faced, you’re a drunken little tease


We chat over dinner

And he says the world is in rut

Could you smash me in the windpipe

Could you cut me in the gut

Just to make you lighten up


Up.



He puts grapes skins in my navel, expects me to be grateful

The skins lies still as I try to be graceful




And the woman is lost

Is lost in her head

She needs a fuhrer figure

So she can rise from the dead



Raise her from the dead





I always miss my youth now

So anxious I can’t breathe

Miss being naked - miss being teased


My husband can sleep on, sleep on to the grave

But this girl deserves better than to be this jackboot’s slave

Tell me what to think

Think.
