lyrics

i'll paint my finger-nails black
i'll put that brill cream in my hair
i'll wear your pretty pink dress
while you sit & laugh from your favourite chair
i'll walk in silence or i'll speak in tongues
i'll tell you riddles play truth or dare
i'll change my sex if that'll entice love
whenever you leave I always find you here

there's a greenstone in the eye
of a fish head on my plate
there's a bird that can not fly
there's a bull that's at the gate
war is a modern day peace offering/black cat cross that road
this is the time of killing angels
as above it is below

i'll come to blame the rumour
spread by well meaning tongues
i'll stockpile bitterness
like a dealer stockpiles his drugs
i'll grow to love the feeling
of my fingers wrapped round a gun
& when my war does raise her fist
I will kill in the name of Love

there's a greenstone in the eye
of a fish head on my plate
there's a bird that can not fly
there's a bull that's at the gate
war is a modern day peace offering
black cat cross that road
this is the time of killing an-gels
as above it is below

as above it is
below
