Do You Love Me? (part 2) Lyrics - Cave Nick

Onward! And Onward! And Onward I go 

Where no man before could be bothered to go 

Till the soles of my shoes are shot full of holes 

And it's all downhill with a bullet 

This ramblin' and rovin' has taken it's course 

I'm grazing with the dinosaurs and the dear old horses 

And the city streets crack and a great hole forces 

Me down with my soapbox, my pulpit 

The theatre ceiling is silver star spangled 

And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

There's a man in the theatre with girlish eyes 

Who's holding my childhood to ransom 

On the screen there's a death, 

there's a rustle of cloth 

And a sickly voice calling me handsome 

There's a man in the theatre with sly girlish eyes 

On the screen there's an ape, a gorilla 

There's a groan, there's a cough, there's a rustle of cloth 

And a voice that stinks of death and vanilla 

This is a secret, mauled and mangled 

And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

The walls in the ceiling are painted in blood 

The lights go down, the red curtains come apart 

The room is full of smoke and dialogue I know by heart 

And the coins in my pocket jingle-jangle 

As the great screen crackled and popped 

And the clock of my boyhood was wound down and stopped 

And my handsome little body oddly propped 

And my trousers right down to my ankles 

Yes, onward! And upward! 

And I'm off to find love 

Do you love me? If you do, I'm thankful 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

This city is an ogre squatting by the river 

It gives life but it takes it away, my youth 

There comes a time when you just cannot deliver 

This is a fact. This is a stone cold truth. 

Do you love me? I love you, handsome. 

But do you love me? Yes, I love you, you are handsome 

Amongst the cogs and the wires, my youth 

Vanilla breath and handsome apes with girlish eyes 

Dreams that roam between truth and untruth 

Memories that become monstrous lies 

So onward! And Onward! And Onward I go! 

Onward! And Upward! And I'm off to find love 

With blue-black bracelets on my wrists and my ankles 

And the coins in my pocket go jingle-jangle 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me? 

Do you love me?
