lyrics

You were young, I was younger,
I was hungry all the time,
all the way home you hummed
the theme from my favourite programme.

I lay down in that cold and lonely town,
raised my blouse against my father’s house.

Burnt breath like the vapour
from a lighter through your teeth,
sweet vinegar, cold meets,
not moan, not bark, a bleat.

In your mouth was iron from the south,
from my nose the blood fell on your clothes.
