lyrics

Well the devil says drink up your fill
the angel says you’ve had enough
that jackdaw on my windowsill
is acting kind of suave
he says there is no hell below
nor no reward above
I don’t know but I’ve been told
that hatred’s just a different kind of love

You used to say I was your saviour
but now you’re kind of vague
it's time to call the lawyers
I’ll see you in the Hague
we’ll replay every depraved act
your mother never conceived of
then make up for it in the sack
where hatred’s just a bitter kind of love

I heard Leonard speak about
the venom in the antidote
that voice gets any deeper man
we're gonna need a stethoscope
Mary Margaret moves her fingers
like they’re made of nervous birds
and you, you are the closest thing,
to a song I never heard

Some treat the courtship as a fist
some a rubber glove
some will kill you with a kiss
once was a time I liked it rough
some say love is a sickness
but sickness is subjective
friction can be blissful if
your hatred’s just a disappointed love

True love is impersonal
this I know for sure
true love is impersonal
impersonal is pure.
true love is impersonal
simple as a psalm
true love is impersonal
it doesn’t give a damn

Gainsbourg whispers fables of
the year of love, the soixante-neuf
Jackie hams up Amsterdam
the heart goes boom,
the wheels come off
Nina sings Wild is the Wind
man I don’t have the words
and you, you are the closest thing
to a song I never heard

Is this ballistic missiles coming in
or are they flocks of doves
there’s a million ways to kill, you said
hold that thought, now codladh samh
some men they will use the quill
others prefer the Molotov
that jackdaw on my window sill
says hatred’s just a blinded kind of love

Chavela Vargas fill her lungs
and a nightingale comes out her throat
that song gets any rawer man
we’re gonna need a shot of dope
Mahalia wails, a siren
luring sailors overboard
and you, you are the closest thing
to a song I never heard
