about

Originally recorded as a B-side to The Ocean single by Mother McKenzie. Original recording available on Mother McKenzie bandcamp. The lyrics are slightly altered. All new lyrics were written on the spot while being performed to various girls over the years. The lyric "Sing me pretty words and kiss my ass" was sung to get a laugh from one of them. Needless to say, it stuck.

lyrics

I lived for lust
I lived for lust
There were so many things I longed to feel
But I settled for just a touch

You were mine, mine, mine
I stole you from a friend
And wasted a year just trying to lift
My body from your cozy bed

I heard of a spot just beneath your hair
On the warm nape of your neck
That I could touch with my calloused fingertips
And make your eyes shine gold beams on my flesh

You were mine, mine, mine
We entered our union with woe
Let's hide when we come home and turn off the lights
Revealed by the morning's cruel glow

I heard of a joke I could whisper
Mold your cheeks into shapes I'd never seen
And it filled my heart with something so warm
I never thought you'd change the shape of me

You were mine, mine, mine
I courted you walking on glass
But you'd often come to prop my feet up
Sing me pretty words and kiss my ass

I said goodbye and you got pretty mad
I tried to explain you can't hold onto shame
Let go of the love that we had

You were mine, mine, mine
But let go of the love that we had
Life is a road you gotta walk on your own
Don't get glued to the landmarks you pass
