From way far across the sea came an eritrean maiden,
She had a one track mind and eyes for me, half blinded in the war.
With a pale young Anglican who said he'd help her all he can,
Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend.

She had no mind to please him,
Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind.

A little boy in a stairwell who says "I hate people like you",
Got match sticks & cable TV half of less than 50p.
We all clambered over the balcony, banging on the window waking Steve,
Bringing with a true love his un-holy friend.

Singing if you really need it,
You just won't leave it behind.

So baby please kill me, oh baby don't kill me,
Just don't bring that ghost round to my door, I don't wanna see him anymore.
Please kill me, oh baby don't kill me,
Just don't bang on about yesterday, I wouldn't know about that anyway.

Monkey asked the mouse before if she loved anybody more than he,
It turns you into stone, now I'm reversing down the lonely street
To a cheap hotel where I can meet the past,
Pay it off and keep it sweet.

It's sweet like nothing no,
It's just like nothing at all.

You know, I've seen you there, how could I help but stare,
It rips the heart out of your baby,
I've taken far too much to see or think or touch what's real,
I'm stranded on this street which once paved my only way home.

If you really need it oh,
You just won't leave it behind.

Oh please kill me, oh no don't kill me,
But don't bring that ghost round to my door, I don't wanna see him anymore.
Please kill me, oh no don't kill me,
But don't go on about yesterday, I wouldn't know about that anyway, oh no.

It's sweet like nothing no,
It's sweet like nothing at all.
It's sweet like nothing no,
It's sweet like nothing at all.

It's sweet like nothing no,
It's sweet like nothing at all.
