I thought that I was hungry for love Maybe I'm just hungry for blood Tear from a woman on the shore You prairie ghost on a cottage [hall?] Oh, the mermaids have sharp teeth Razor blades all in your feet England is only ever grey or green The girls glitter striding glorious and coatless in the rain I remember fallin' through these streets Somewhat out of place, if not for the drunkenness It makes my chest hurt to think of it Not of regret, but of missing that Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion It was not all pain and pavement slick with rain And shinin' under lights from shitty clubs and doing shitty drugs And huggin' girls that smelled like Britney Spears and coconuts And with your mermaid hair and your teeth so sharp You crawled from the sea to break that sailor's heart You only get one night up on the shore So dance like you've never danced before And the dance floor is filling up with blood Letras de cancionesBut, oh, Lord, you've never been so in love Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion And the mermaids, they come once a year They climb the [struts?] of Brighton Pier They come to drink, they come to dance To sacrifice a human heart And the world is so much wilder than you think You haven't seen nothin' 'til you seen an English girl drink Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion Cheerful oblivion From Letras Mania
