Gloves Lyrics - Strange House - The Horrors

Today I found a baby's glove 

Lying on the drainage board so still 

Yesterday a leather glove from the slim hand of a woman. 

The next time I saw one it was lying half frozen and twisted on the kerb.. 

And I, now I have my own private collection 

All lined in rows when you open up the wardrobe doors 

Now I have no room for my obsession 

Lined up and labeled in neat little packets.

The next time I saw one I had that itching sensation 

But my hands stayed by my sides and I couldn't take it. 

And through wax seals and padlocks 

A hand through my ribcage.

I imagined myself hacking desperately at a sea of appendages, 

Forward and right, freeing myself like a butcher, 

Feeling the mash of bone and sinew running slowly down the front of my body

And I couldn't take it any more, 

I said, "I've got to go, I've got to get out of here," 

And I ran down the street, 

I've got to get out of here, 

I've got to go
