The Triffids Figurine lyrics

I keep a figurine in a locket
I like the way she looks in there
I keep a certain shade of lipstick
silky taste and the way it smears

I bought her a keepsake on a full moon
in a trinket from an old junk shop
now her blush is racing out of control
In a well known teenage pleasure spot

I slept with a wolf and I dined with a thief
and I drank up a river of witches` milk
If this spell should ever wear off
you`ll never wash your hands of love
you`ll never wash your hands of love

I`m gonna need a strong anaesthetic
to keep your memory away
I bought myself a pearl handled gun
and I`ll use it on myself come valentine`s day


Been with Jonah in the belly of the whale
And with Daniel in the lion`s den
If this spell should ever wear off
you`ll never ever be clean again
and I`ll never ever be mean again

I keep a figurine in a locket
I like the way she looks in there
I like a certain shade of lipstick
silky taste and the way it smears

I slept with a wolf and I dined with a thief
and I drank up a river of witches` milk
If this charm should ever wear off
you`ll never wash your hands of love
you`ll never wash your hands of love
