Should've Kept My Eyes Shut - Beautiful South[00:00:03]
Written by:Paul Heaton/Dave Rotheray[00:00:21]
I should've kept my eyes shut[00:00:34]
But I had to go and peep[00:00:37]
But when you saw what I saw[00:00:40]
Well it's hard just to roll back to sleep[00:00:42]
I would've kept my eyes shut[00:00:47]
But I thought I heard you scream[00:00:49]
And I've a penchant for violence[00:00:53]
You don't seem to find in a dream[00:00:55]
The scene a little clearer[00:01:00]
My father with a rope[00:01:03]
And in the cage centre stage[00:01:06]
It's mother who's destined to choke[00:01:09]
And she choke and we choke[00:01:12]
On the words that we wish we'd not spoke[00:01:15]
Just when you felt you had someone to trust[00:01:18]
How come the mama the darker and close[00:01:22]
I should've read the novels[00:01:29]
Believed every word[00:01:32]
But the stories they wrote[00:01:35]
Were so different to ones that I'd heard[00:01:37]
I should've kept my eyes shut[00:01:41]
My mouth should've closed[00:01:44]
But the mixture of vomit and blood[00:01:47]
Just crept up through my nose[00:01:50]
It became a little clearer[00:01:54]
As soon as I awoke[00:01:57]
My father stands with rope in hand[00:02:00]
A screaming mother kneels in hope[00:02:04]
And she hope and we hope[00:02:07]
That me words that she said won't provoke[00:02:09]
A smile is removed and a petal is crushed[00:02:13]
What once was a laugh has turned into a joke[00:02:16]
You should've kept your mouth shut[00:02:23]
You should've kept your mouth shut[00:02:29]
You should've kept your mouth shut[00:02:35]
You should've kept your mouth shut[00:02:41]
You should've kept your mouth shut[00:02:48]
You should've kept your mouth shut[00:02:54]
You should've kept your mouth shut[00:03:00]
You should've kept your mouth shut[00:03:06]
