What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Honest is killing me
2
I feel you burning holes in me
3
And ripping open threads
4
Like I'm some big enchanting crossword
5
And I know I have to get back up
6
But when I cry, I cry a lot
7
And nothing much is going on
8
The poet and the Vicar's son
9
And so maybe next time,
10
Likely never,
11
So strip the whips
12
And you can burn that leather
13
You can paint the keys, sir,
14
Hide the door
15
Because it's pretty damn quiet,
16
Number 24
17
And I live in bedsit in the south
18
So bite my nails and tape my mouth
19
And pretend life, life's so fucking sickly sweet
20
You've got the bitter eyes, you've got these rotting teeth
21
Fuck me up, sir, you fade away
22
Give me my own "Polly Day"
23
And clean my boots of suck my toes
24
In pretend life, nobody knows
25
I'm okay, I'm okay
26
You're just fine
27
And one day we might
28
Have a good day
29
But maybe next time,
30
Likely never,
31
So strip the whips
32
And you can burn that leather
33
You can paint the keys, sir,
34
Hide the door
35
Because it's pretty damn quiet,
36
Number 24
37
And I live in bedsit in the south
38
So bite my nails and tape my mouth
39
In a pretend life, life's so fucking sickly sweet
40
You've got these bitter eyes, you've got these rotting teeth
41
If I was still seventeen
42
If I was twice as nice, if you were half as mean
43
Then I might give you a second chance
44
To feel the way it maybe should've been
45
Throw me a line, suck my cherry
46
Say your love is dead and buried
47
And find a blonde girl that looks a bit like me
48
Maybe this time you might get it
49
But maybe next time,
50
Likely never,
51
So you can strip my whips
52
And you can burn that leather
53
You can paint the keys, sir,
54
Hide the door
55
Because it's pretty damn quiet
56
At number 24
57
And I live in bedsit in the south
58
So bite my nails and tape my mouth
59
In a pretend life, life's so fucking sickly sweet
60
You've got these bitter eyes, you've got these rotting teeth...
