Healthy as Hate - Marc Almond, Foetus

Sometimes I feel high

Sometimes I feel so unbelievably down

It’s nothing to do with pleasure or pain

No it works its way up

From the pit of my groin

Sometimes I feel high

Something shoots-out with an aching and burning

Throws me to the wall

High

Fly

Over you fall

What’s gone wrong with my heart

It seems to beat the wings of evil

Screaming it’s loudest when I want to keep quiet

It’s shouting out loud

Here is me

Here I am

Take me now

And sometimes it doesn’t beat a sound

Sometimes when it rains

I have the urge to break the windows

I put my wrist out to the air

Live long live

I would do almost anything

To rid myself of you forever

I would succumb

To thoughts that verge on maim and murder

No-one can hold me

No-one ever holds me down

Light my lantern

My free heart

Buried six feet underground (x2)

I could despise you

It only rots of sickly pity

Stagnates for who?

For me or for you?

I could kill myself

I really have not much to give you

Parchment transparent

You can see right through (x2)

Blood and tongue damn swollen

My mouth makes promises never kept

If only I’d kill you

Sent you to heaven while you slept

While you slept (x5)

But our love won’t die

Our love won’t ever die

It’ll never die

Never (x3)

It’ll ever ever die
