Текст (слова) песни: The Beautiful South - Should`ve Kept My Eyes Shut
(Heaton/Rotheray) I should`ve kept my eyes shut But I had to go and peep But when you saw what I saw Well, it`s hard just to roll back to sleep
I would`ve kept my eyes shut But I thought I heard you scream And I`ve a penchant for violence You don`t seem to find in a dream
The scene a little clearer My father with a rope And in the cage, centre-stage It`s mother who`s destined to choke
And she choke and we choke On the words that we wish we`d not spoke Just when you felt you had someone to trust Out comes the man with the dagger and cloak
I should`ve read the novels Believed every word But the stories they wrote Were so different to ones that I`d heard
I should`ve kept my eyes shut My mouth should`ve closed But the mixture of vomit and blood Just crept up through my nose
It became a little clearer As soon as I awoke My father stands with rope in hand A screaming mother kneels in hope
And she hope and we hope That me words that she said won`t provoke A smile is removed and a petal is crushed What once was a laugh has turned into a joke
You should`ve kept your mouth shut
