lyrics

Flathead

They were O so much in their blood
they were so much in love
They were greeting cards and palliations
They held hands and said the words
you’ve heard ad nauseum
Love’s numb dream, pristine
(then he took a screwdriver)

Then he took a screwdriver
Then he took a screwdriver
Flathead since you ask!
Flathead since you ask!
Flathead since you ask!

And he planted that driver
drove it in her face
The handle poked out just below her left eye
And she went down
(but not like he’d begged her to)
And she went down (but not like he’d begged her to)
And she went down (but not like he’d told her to)
Flathead since you ask!
Flathead since you ask!
Flathead since you ask!

(Ever hear of Phineas P. Gage?)

She got back up
She got back up
Her eyes rolled in her O just like marbles
And she got back up
And she blinked
and she said:
“I was mistaken, but I’ve… got a handle… on it now”

“I was mistaken but I’ve got a handle on it now”
“I was mistaken but I’ve got a handle on it now”
“I was mistaken but I’ve got a handle on it now-
(and that handle has a rubberised grip!)”

And she pulled him apart like paper
Pulled him apart just like paper soaked in claret
And she was 50 feet high, and he a smoked mote
And she was O such much in his blood and so happy they were
She: in red
He: in shreds
She was mistaken but she’s got a handle on it now

The Bleeding Hours London, UK

Bluesy noise, twang, ill-feeling; no melody too pretty to be utilised then fed into the wood chipper.

"like getting eaten by alligators"
