Your sister was always trouble your sister she just was 
not shy and all the stories she told me of her foreign 
holidays 
Designed to raise the stakes and put colour in my 
cheeks and show you she could have anything she wanted 
and lord was I sorely tempted 
She?s laughing as I cannot look her in the eye and now 
she?s taking hold my hand steady as she goes 

Now it?s only us around With a rose held in my mouth 
and everything is a sin everything is dangerous it 
seems 
but now I?m cursing on the floor and coughing out the 
blood 
one day until the weekend and I am thirsty beyond my 
dreams 

We took a little drink for summer it is a drinking 
season 
And we took a long long walk for what else here could 
we do 
That involved the two of us for an hour slowly 
disappearing that involved the two of us a long long 
way from little old you 
occurred steady as she blows 

And you quick in my ear like a kid store whistles 
And tonights a night for I will not be awoken 
But shes all claws and feathers and spite and spittle 
And we are slipping and sliding with greed and 
anticipation 

And the couple behind the pier you?ll remember fine as 
being us my dear 
We made the front-page news for a moment took a local 
ear 
I kept my head I swam ashore the blame was solely mine 
for you even though I saved her skin I rode back out 
and I brought her in 
And you cursed me under and over your breath but her 
eyes were as good as mine steady as you go 

And we watched her so long she turned her tail away 
How dare we have once how dare we walk unchanged 
For the love of the choir we keep our heads down 
stilted conversation for another time
