Grinderman - Love Bomb

C'mon!

I read the book from back to front
It made a deep impression
Twenty thousand pages, baby
And I hoped for some direction

I stood before the mirror
And I stared at my reflection
I'd almost disappeared
And I made no impression

I went down to my baby's house
And I sat down on the step
Said "Two thousand years of Christian history, baby
And you ain't learned love me yet"

My baby looked me in the eye
My nails were bitten to the quick
She said "You used to love me all night long
But you've gotten so thin and sick"

I'm gonna send you a love bomb
I'm gonna send you a love bomb

I read that book from back to front
Looking for some inspiration
I'd been listening to the radio
Trying to find some self-expression

I been listening to the Woman's Hour
I been listening to Gardener's Question Time
But everything I tried to grow
I can't even grow a dandelion

I been watching the MTV
I been watching the BBC
I've been searching on the internet
I'm getting so thin and sick

I'm gonna send you a love bomb
I'm gonna send you a love bomb

I went to my baby's house
And I sat down on the step
Yeah, I went down to my baby's house
And I laid down on the step

She said "What are you doing here?"
I said "I'd been trying to make some sense
But every action that I take
Is of absolutely no fucking consequence"

My baby said "You can't sit there"
She reached down with her fingers
Her fingers went right through me
I screamed my head off I was so thin and sick

I'm gonna send you a love bomb
