Bed Of Nails Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Gumbarg 

Cover art for Bed Of Nails lyrics by Wild Beasts

isn't it "blatant as a bay leaf"? bay leaves are used whole when cooking so stick out in the mix. also they have a very harsh, distinct taste when eaten on their own. also it fits perfectly among the family of wild beasts' lyrical style

This doesn't seem to fit the song at all. I presume you know what a Bailiff is, and in my opinion that makes far more sense.

I agree. It would fit perfectly with the next line: "I want my lips to blister when we kiss."
