Beautiful South - Should've Kept My Eyes Shut Lyrics

Font:

Align:

(heaton/rotheray)

I shouldve kept my eyes shut

But I had to go and peep

But when you saw what I saw

Well, its hard just to roll back to sleep

I wouldve kept my eyes shut

But I thought I heard you scream

And Ive a penchant for violence

You dont seem to find in a dream

The scene a little clearer

My father with a rope

And in the cage, centre-stage

Its mother whos destined to choke

And she choke and we choke

On the words that we wish wed not spoke

Just when you felt you had someone to trust

Out comes the man with the dagger and cloak

I shouldve read the novels

Believed every word

But the stories they wrote

Were so different to ones that Id heard

I shouldve kept my eyes shut

My mouth shouldve 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 wont provoke

A smile is removed and a petal is crushed

What once was a laugh has turned into a joke

You shouldve kept your mouth shut
