Tongue Like A Knife Lyrics - Squeeze

(Difford/Tilbrook) 

The head of a hunt on the wall by a painting 

An upright piano stood locked by the door 

In through the window 

The light was fast fading 

While I spilt my whiskey 

All over the floor 

Making a mess of my words so 

I was trying 

To impress the Empress with 

My wimpy tales 

Fanning her face from cigar smoke 

And sighing 

I had come close to be miles 

From her trail

She was the jewel that 

Sparkled in darkness 

She was the love 

Of everyone's life 

She was the catch at 

Everyone's parties 

She was the one with a tongue 

Like a knife 

Her bosoms curved perfectly 

Lit by the fire 

My mind launched away 

In a sea of its own 

Her grace and her tightness 

I had to admire 

Through a whore's breath of stories 

I happily told 

Photos 

Trespassing my hand 

Fell into hot water 

She shot like a bullet 

Right out of her chair 

She led me away and I 

Was then slaughtered 

By the warmth of her body 

And her love and care 

Her tongue cut away 

And the wounds slowly opened 

I lay on the sails of the 

Ship of romance 

Drunk as I could be and 

Broker than broken and 

The head of my hunt 

Was there in my hands
