lyrics

Harpies

There’s something, very nasty in the air
There’s something very threatening, about the ladies at the bar.
There’s something very cold about their stare
I’m feeling very, very scared, like running for my car.
Harpies drinking Pernod
Lips as red as blood clots
Harpies at the disco, they’re all
Hanging, round the meat lot
Hanging, round the meat lot

A chemist’s shelf of makeup in their room
A tanker load of cheap perfume, parked discretely round the side
Rouging, up their cheeks to make them bloom
They’ve got all the trappings of a hooker on the slide
Harpies drinking Pernod
Lips as red as blood clots
Harpies at the disco, they’re all
Hanging, round the meat lot
Hanging, round the meat lot

Faces, painted up like mannequins
Silver nails, translucent skin, like an early Hammer Horror.
Their eyes are, just like black holes sucking on
My blood this evening – they will be after yours tomorrow.
Harpies drinking Pernod
Lips as red as blood clots
Harpies at the disco, they’re all
Hanging, round the meat lot
Hanging, round the meat lot


Beauty’s in the mind
