Something That You Said

The Beautiful South

 The perfect love song it has now words it only has death threats 
 And you can tell a classic ballad by how threatening it gets 
 So if you walk into your house and she's cutting up your mother 
 She's only trying to tell you that she loves you like no other 
 No other, she loves you like no other. 

 The only emotions that I know are love and hate 
 And she's chopping & she's changing & it's making you afraid 
 I said close your eyes and imagine that I'm nice 
 She'll kiss you or she'll kill you but you'll just have to wait 

 Because some things that I do make you go blue 
 And something that you said made me go red 

 The perfect love has no emotions, it only harbours doubt 
 And if she fears your intentions she will cut you out 
 So do not raise your voice and do not shake your fist 
 Just pass her the carving knife, if that's what she insists 
 Insists, if that's what she insists 

 A hate tattoo on my brain and a love one on my heart 
 I'd love to hate you, like I love you 
 and just tear your dreams apart 
 I said close your eyes and imagine that I'm nice 
 Cupid's arrow looking more like Cupid's poisoned dart 

 Because some things that I do make you go blue 
 And something that you said made me go red 

 Because some things that I do make you go blue 
 And something that you said made me go red 

 The perfect kiss is dry as sand and doesn't take your breath 
 The perfect kiss is with the boy that you've just stabbed to death 

 Is with the boy that you've just stabbed to death 
 Is with the boy that you've just stabbed to death
