"The Bed"

This is the place where she lay her head
when she went to bed at night
And this is the place our children were conceived
candles lit the room brightly at night

And this is the place where she cut her wrists
that odd and fateful night
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

This is the place where we used to live
I paid for it with love and blood
And these are the boxes that she kept on the shelf
Filled with her poetry and stuff

And this is the room where she took the razor
and cut her wrists that strange and fateful night
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

I never would have started if I'd known
that it'd end this way
But funny thing, I'm not at all sad
that it stopped this way

This is the place where she lay her head
when she went to bed at night
And this is the place our children were conceived
candles lit the room brightly at night

And this is the place where she cut her wrists
That odd and fateful night
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling
And I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what a feeling

My other half said I was a cert for a suicide attempt because I was into Lou Reed.
 


No no
No no, no no
No no there's no limit

..........

Don't get it me...what was that bird with the big fun-bags tryin to say?
 
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
 
Oh, in her two pound coat
She really thinks she's cloaked in mystery
She's actin' like some character from Agatha Christie
I got a pain in my shoes and all I wanna do is dance

Uh-oh, I can remember those carefully sharpened
eyeballs
Sparkling like bloodshot diamonds in the snowfall
She always said she thinks she knows where things are
roughly at
Well maybe she does, but then she says

Does it feel nice, does it feel right, does it feel
alright
Does it feel good - quite nice
Can you keep it up, can you keep it up - upright
Does it let you down, I heard it let you down -
sometimes

Snap me in your breach, I want to be your bullet
I want a little kiss that's gonna take my breath away
And every lover tries to do things in a different way
Ah-hey-hey-hey

Does it feel nice, does it feel right, does it feel
alright
Does it feel good - quite nice
Can you keep it up, can you keep it up - upright
Does it let you down - I heard it let you down -
sometimes

Snap me in your breach, I want to be your bullet
I want a little kiss that's gonna take my breath away
And every lover tries to do things in a different way
But that's what they all say

Give it up, give it up - give it up, give it up

Does it feel nice, does it feel right, does it feel
alright
Does it feel good - quite nice
Can you keep it up, can you keep it up - upright
But does it let you down, I heard it let you down -
sometimes

Does it feel nice - Is it alright, I heard it let you
down - sometimes
Can you keep it up - quite nice, I heard it's quite
nice - alright
Is it alright - quite nice, I heard it let you down...

Give it up - can you keep it up - Sometimes - I heard
it let you down
Alright - Can you keep it up - All night - I heard it
let you down
Quite nice - Can you keep it up - I heard it let you
down
Can you keep it up - I heard it let you down
Can you keep it up
