lyrics
i never look for love
but still it comes to kill
breaking my locks
doin its dirt at will
so when you came for me
you were the big surprise
over my shoulder
out of the corner of my eyes
now we dance a slow pantomime
a duet, a vignette, details of the crime
you were a fragrant wind
blow through my dusty vault
seasons of sex
leaving a smell of salt
summer fades into the wintertime
still a sweat of regret, details of the crime
ripped from the pages of
some cheap detective novels
or from a mini-series mystery of the week
the trail of evidence so evidently obvious
how dare we speak?
i know myself i know my modus operandi
i solve the case before the caper becomes clear
who is the victim of my many misdemeanors?
i volunteer!
beyond logic, no internal rhyme
what we will forget of the threat, details of the crime
i never look for love
but i invite it still
open my locks
do with me what you will
but still it comes to kill
breaking my locks
doin its dirt at will
so when you came for me
you were the big surprise
over my shoulder
out of the corner of my eyes
now we dance a slow pantomime
a duet, a vignette, details of the crime
you were a fragrant wind
blow through my dusty vault
seasons of sex
leaving a smell of salt
summer fades into the wintertime
still a sweat of regret, details of the crime
ripped from the pages of
some cheap detective novels
or from a mini-series mystery of the week
the trail of evidence so evidently obvious
how dare we speak?
i know myself i know my modus operandi
i solve the case before the caper becomes clear
who is the victim of my many misdemeanors?
i volunteer!
beyond logic, no internal rhyme
what we will forget of the threat, details of the crime
i never look for love
but i invite it still
open my locks
do with me what you will

Cried happy tears on the first listen. So many amazing lines. So many great musical choices. Can’t wait to hear these songs live when TMG return to the UK. The pirate’s life for me.
