Tie Me To The Length Of That

(album: This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get - 1984)

Trials and tribulations

When I was born the doctor didn't like me
He grabbed my ankles
Held me like a turkey
Dear mummy
Why'd you let him hit me
This was wrong
I knew you didn't love me

There is selection
Many shapes and sizes
Variety
Fondling surprises
The syllables
Trigger happy opposites
Encountering those devious devices
Satisfying all that you are craving
Considering life is now worth saving

Tie me to the length of that

Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that

You'll be sorry you don't love me
Something is happening to my body

Nature is those little bits and pieces

Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that

When I was born the doctor didn't like me
He grabbed my ankles
Held me like a turkey
Dear mummy
Why'd you let him hit me
This was wrong
I knew you didn't love me

I keep these feelings deep inside my body
It's not the union both of us expected
Remember daddy
When you made him hold me
Safe in his arms
Then the bastard dropped me

Ooh, ah
Pretty, pretty baby
Pretty baby
Baby, baby boo-hoo...

Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Considering life is now worth saving
Stupid drunk

You'll be sorry you don't love me

Ooh, ah
Pretty, pretty baby
Pretty baby
Baby, baby

Ooh, ah
What a lovely little baby

There is selection
Many shapes and sizes
Variety
Fondling surprises
The syllables
Trigger happy opposites
Encountering those devious devices
Satisfying all that you are craving
Considering life is now worth saving

Tie me to the length of that...
