Linctus House Lyrics - Hitchcock Robyn

you know i used to call my baby up 

and we'd get real close 

just like the telephone was a sofa 

and our thoughts would mingle 

and we'd leave our minds wide open 

like a big window in the evening air 

and we'd say, 

'hey baby, come on in and help yourself to my soul' 

'hey baby, come on in and help yourself to my soul' 

but these days, even saying, 'hello? how are you?' 

'i'm fine, how are you?' takes a lot of sweat 

ain't that a shame 

ain't that a shame 

but in linctus house 

in my flesh hotel 

i don't care anymore 

you know my baby and me 

as kimberley would say 

we'd curl up like two dogs 

in front of a fire 

and our eyes would reflect each other 

in the warm long heat of love 

yeah, the warm long heat of love 

and i would hear the rain falling 

on the leaves outside 

i could'nt stand to close the window 

'cos i'd shiver if i left her side 

but now i'd shake if we should meet 

and i spend most of my time in the bushes 

ain't that a shame 

know what you're doing 

ain't that a shame 

know what you've done 

but in linctus house 

in my flesh hotel 

i don't care anymore 

'i understand how everything sometimes 

turns out to be nothing,' you say 

but i wonder if you do 

and if we understood each other 

there'd be no need to talk 

but even that, even talking is out of reach 

should i say it with flowers or 

should i say it with nails? 

i'm not the kind to push you around 

but i don't want to make myself vulnerable 

and if i was on my knees 

you'd have a pretty good view of my skull 

and i happen to know you're carrying a chisel 

but in linctus hotel 

in my flesh hotel 

i don't care anymore 

no 

in linctus house 

in my flesh hotel 

i don't care 

ain't that a shame 

know what you're doing 

ain't that a shame 

know what you've done
