Electronic Throat Lyrics
This is how I built my wife,
Brought the body to life,
With the soul of a gypsy queen,
And the brightest eyes that I'd ever seen.
Gave her two murderous hands,
And to act the the devil's dance,
I last gave her half of my heart
To make sure that we were never apart.
There must have been a mix up along the way,
I must have made a mistake.
Now listen closely to what we're gonna say,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
There must have been a mix up along the way,
I must have made a mistake.
Now listen closely to what we're gonna say,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
One morning when I woke,
To the blackest cloud of smoke,
Seems the neighbors had conspired
To bring the house down with fire
Because I loved my devil bride,
Found our love so hard to hide.
I brought you into this world,
I will take you out baby, go.
There must have been a mix up along the way,
I must have made a mistake.
Now listen closely to what we're gonna say,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
There must have been a mix up along the way,
I must have made a mistake.
Now listen closely to what we're gonna say,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
There must have been a mix up along the way,
I must have made a mistake.
Now listen closely to what we're gonna say,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
There must have been a mix up along the way,
I must have made a mistake.
You weren't supposed to know how to run away,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
Brought the body to life,
With the soul of a gypsy queen,
And the brightest eyes that I'd ever seen.
Gave her two murderous hands,
And to act the the devil's dance,
I last gave her half of my heart
To make sure that we were never apart.
I must have made a mistake.
Now listen closely to what we're gonna say,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
I must have made a mistake.
Now listen closely to what we're gonna say,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
To the blackest cloud of smoke,
Seems the neighbors had conspired
To bring the house down with fire
Because I loved my devil bride,
Found our love so hard to hide.
I brought you into this world,
I will take you out baby, go.
I must have made a mistake.
Now listen closely to what we're gonna say,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
I must have made a mistake.
Now listen closely to what we're gonna say,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
I must have made a mistake.
Now listen closely to what we're gonna say,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.
I must have made a mistake.
You weren't supposed to know how to run away,
If you cross me, I'll cut you.

instead of "brought the body to life." Im pretty sure the real lyrics are "brought a dead body to life." and i agree the newest cd is pretty straight forward. but there is another meaning to the fairy tales. ya get it??
he's pissed off because his wife left him and he compares her to a machine with no feelings
It's a fairy tale...sorta along the lines of Frankenstein...except the monster he created is his would be bride...and the local village found out and wants her (and possibly him) destroyed.
This new album is pretty straight forward. It's a collection of fairy tales. There's no real metaphors...it's all pretty much laid out for you.
Close, i think you may be on to something there with the village trying to kill him in disgust, but the true conflict is that his frankenstein bride is a cheating whore... And the whole song is the character's threat to dismantle her, which he eventually does, as he mentions the fact that he sticks her disembodied head on the bedpost after cutting her up.

That is from the background screaming part. He says,

'There's a noise in the basement where i built the replacement there's a head on the bedpost of the one that i loved most.'

Also, instead of: Because I loved my devil bride, Found our love so hard to hide.
I think it's: Just my luck, my devil bride, Found her lover's arms to hide.
Maybe.
Two corrections: I gave her two murderous hands, And THE LEGS of the devil's dance
and you were close, UltraBlue
Just my luck, my devil bride found her lovers HARD to hide.
