Hot Knife Lyrics
If I'm butter - if I'm butter-
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope screen
showing the dancing bird of paradise.
If I'm butter - if I'm butter-
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope screen
showing the dancing bird of paradise.
He excites me
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him
If I'm butter - if I'm butter-
If I’m butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope,
he's showing the dancing bird of paradise
I'm a hot knife- I'm a hot knife-
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter.
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
he's never gonna need- never need another.
I'm a hot knife- I'm a hot knife-
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
he's never gonna need- never need another.
(And you can, and you can, and you can relax around me)
(If I'm butter - if I'm butter-
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope screen
showing the dancing bird of paradise)
(And you can, and you can, and you can relax around me)
I'm a hot knife- I'm a hot knife-
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
he's never gonna need- never need another.
(And you can, and you can, and you can relax around me)
He excites me
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him...
Maybe he can teach me something,
Maybe I can teach him, too.
Even just to reach is a triumph,
And now, I've even got a hold on you.
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope screen
showing the dancing bird of paradise.
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope screen
showing the dancing bird of paradise.
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him
If I’m butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope,
he's showing the dancing bird of paradise
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter.
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
he's never gonna need- never need another.
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
he's never gonna need- never need another.
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope screen
showing the dancing bird of paradise)
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
he's never gonna need- never need another.
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him...
Maybe I can teach him, too.
Even just to reach is a triumph,
And now, I've even got a hold on you.

There is also another verse towards the end where she says "And maybe he can teach me something, and maybe I can teach him, too", and two other lines, but I can't make out what she's saying.
@stentorian According to Blake Mills, as per Fiona the lyrics are: "Even just to reach is a triumph, and now, I've even got a hold on you."

I believe it's "pat of butter."
Towards the end:
Maybe he can teach me something, maybe I can teach him too. Even just to see if there's a shot, that he - really - got over you.
Maybe he can teach me something, maybe I can teach him too. It's not impossible to show me, he - really - got over you.
Thank you. The whole reason I looked for these was to figure out what she was saying in that part. :)

Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
(And you can, and you can, and you can wild up around me) She is definitely saying "you can relax around me"
It's nice when Fiona writes a song that's not about bad relationships or breaking up!
Or her screwed-up (and beautiful) brain. I felt really happy about her when I heard this song and when I saw her smiling on the video :)

I love the way this song is so sexual, but it isn't explicit about it. Fiona knows how to make songs sexy, not vulgar. I love it!
Wow, so many wrong lyrics here! The booklet from the CD says it's "He makes my heart a CinemaScope screen showing a dancing bird of paradise" So that settles that one.
She doesn't put all of the lyrics in the booklet, but if you wear headphones you can tell it is most definitely "You can relax around me". Absolutely no question.
Also, like someone stated she also says "Maybe he can teach me something, maybe I can teach him too" And then I can't yet make out the next two lines after that.
If I'm butter - if I'm butter- If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife, he makes my heart a cinemascope, he's showing the dancing bird of paradise.
If I'm butter - if I'm butter- If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife, he makes my heart a cinemascope, he's showing the dancing bird of paradise.

I'm a hot knife- if I'm a hot knife- I'm a hot knife if he's a pad of butter. If I get a chance, I'm gonna show him that he's never gonna need- never need another.

"you can relax around me"
Also thinking ... is it cinemascope screen?
