Hold Her Tight - The Correspondents

A praying mantis prays for prey

A lover to decapitate

And no I don’t believe in fate

But oh I think she’s found a mate

It could’ve happened anywhere

A carpark or a square

She doesn’t care for scenery

When you commit your crimes

She’s got you so hold her tight

How have you ended with her tonight?

Make your morning coffee make up your lies

Try not to look your wife in the eye

For her to pull and twist her hair

For you to hold your breath and stare

For the luck for far too long

The world that you know it is gone

In preparation for your sin

You struggle to pull off your ring

You pocket it and force a smile

She knows you’re a cliché

She’s got you so hold her tight

How have you ended with her tonight?

Make your morning coffee make up your lies

Try not to look your wife in the eyes

She’s got you so hold her tight

How have you ended with her tonight?

Make your morning coffee make up your lies

How have you ended with her tonight?

You split your women into two

Angels first then prostitutes

Your wife is going to fly away

Your lover’s going to make you pay

You think you can have it your own way

Play host at your own cabaret

But when the curtain falls

They leave you spotted and alone

She’s got you so hold her tight

How have you ended with her tonight?

Make your morning coffee make up your lies

Try not to look your wife in the eyes

You thought that you could take a bite of your mind

Many miles away from the day to day crime

Pure and darkness untold

You’ve been digging deep to find this gold

It’s a lust that tarnishes too quick

You’ve done the deed and you feel sick

You smell nothing but an unknown scent

You’ve spent more than you can spare

She’s got you so hold her tight

How you ended with her tonight?

Make your morning coffee make up your lies

How have you ended with her tonight?

She’s got you so hold her tight

How have you ended with her tonight?

Make your morning coffee make up your lies

Try not to look your wife in the eyes
