lyrics

She was my love
She opened up my heart in ways
I'd never even dreamed
She made me be the better man
I thought I'd never be
And if you see her. Will you tell her? To go fuck herself

I'll put this nice
I really hope she fucking dies
I can't believe she made me eat that vegan bread
We were close
But now I'd rather date my Dad
Than have to picture her just laid across our bed
And only vodka's any use
When I face the sorry truth of what we were
How I'll never get to wake up next to her

So I hope she gets entangled in some danger with the mob
And I hope that her new fella has a razor wire nob
So if you see her, you can tell her, to go fuck herself

She made me feel
Just like a praying mantis feels
Before the female bites its head off during sex
We were close
And she meant everything to me
But just since yesterday, I've plotted out her death
I hope she's hit with poison darts
Maybe eaten by a shark, or swallowed whole
By a banking scam that slowly sucks her soul

'Cause she opened up my heart in ways
I'd never even dreamed
She made me be the better man
I never thought I'd be
And if you see her. Will you tell her? To go fuck herself

And I know she isn't evil
And I know she isn't mean
But that's how I describe her now
To people close to me
And when I see her, all I tell her, is go fuck yourself
She was my love

Chris Tavener Manchester, UK

Jangly-guitar rock and a biting sense of humour meet in the storytelling songs of Chris Tavener. A deft lyricist with an acerbic wit, Tavener writes his lyrics from the perspective of flawed characters that he draws from 21st century life.

“”An interesting lad with an elastic turn of phrase” – Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music

“Nice set. Kinks-y vibes” – Carl Barat, The Libertines ... more
