Stray Lyrics
I kept in all that stuff
and it went off like blunderbuss
it blew up on both of us
that night
our love, became forceful
a crappy crumb, a mere morsel
this animal was fat and full
at one time
ragged and hungry
like something gone stray
tonight please, my baby, beseech me to stay
just so you know,
these are my only clothes
rip them from me
your body can be my robe, oh
baby I, am round the back
rummaging through all the scraps
all this time that has elapsed
trashed
ragged and hungry, I come to your door
don't say that I'm not welcome any more
just so you know,
I've nowhere else to go
don't turn me away now
you're the mecca to whom I bow
darling, when we're thrown back in
to the darkness, to the darkness with everyone
be sure it's me you go for
cos there's a likeness, there's a likeness to everyone
ooh, ooh, ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh
and it went off like blunderbuss
it blew up on both of us
that night
a crappy crumb, a mere morsel
this animal was fat and full
at one time
like something gone stray
tonight please, my baby, beseech me to stay
these are my only clothes
rip them from me
your body can be my robe, oh
rummaging through all the scraps
all this time that has elapsed
trashed
don't say that I'm not welcome any more
I've nowhere else to go
don't turn me away now
you're the mecca to whom I bow
to the darkness, to the darkness with everyone
be sure it's me you go for
cos there's a likeness, there's a likeness to everyone
ooh, ooh, ooh

Edited it slightly, the one line I'm not sure of is: "Our love became forceful"
Particularly the word "forceful" I think it's "for" then another word. Anyone agree?
Fantastic track at any rate. Can't wait to hear what they come up with next.
Thanks for the edit- I'm not sure about the "forceful" line either, unfortunately.

New stuff should be coming soon; looking forward to it.
