Plath Heart Lyrics

there's no loving after
all this crap we've been through
if I've not come up back to you
pretty boy your smile
planting in my spine
don't get a hold on me
is it time
we're meant to be free

no only faith
only faith
only faith

didn't do exactly what you told me
when you scold me
leads me to implore the
golden hole which was
surely given to make
beautiful children
and push and push and push
and out slides the golden baby
with nice dark hair
and beating in like thin air
not your eyes
just the beating of a plath heart
shooting in the wet dark
I poke and turn
you smoke and yearn

take me my darling for
i've been waiting so long
for you to come

I'm pretty sure the line "and beating in like thin air" is actually "and eating men like thin air", which is a reference to the final line of Sylvia Plath's poem 'Lady Lazarus'.

There’s no loving after all the squirm we’ve been through

I’ve not come back to you

Pretty boyish smile

Planting in my spine

Don’t get a hold on me

It’s a time we’re meant to be free

No hurt only Birth

No hurt only Worth

Didn’t do exactly what you told me

When you scold me it leads me to implore the

Golden Hole

Which was surely given

To make beautiful children

And push and push and push and push

Then out slides the Golden Baby

With my stark hair

Eating men like then air

Not your eyes just the beating of a Plath Heart

Shooting in the wet dark

I poke and turn you smoke and yearn
