Line 1: Line 1:
I hate these flaming curtains they're not the color of your hair  
I hate these flaming curtains they're not the color of your hair
 
I hate these striplights they're not so undoing as your stare
I hate these striplights they're not so undoing as your stare  
I hate the buttons on your shirt when all I wanna do is tear
 
I hate this bloody big bed of mine when you're not here
I hate the buttons on your shirt when all I wanna do is tear  
[chorus]
 
Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down
I hate this bloody big bed of mine when you're not here  
And nail my feet up where my head should be
 
If they had a King of Fools then I could wear that crown
 
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly
[Chorus:]  
Well you seem to be shivering dear and the room is awfully warm
 
In the white and scarlet billows that subside beyond the storm
Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down  
You have this expression dear no words could take its place
 
And I wear it like a badge that you put all over my face
And nail my feet up where my head should be  
[chorus]
 
I'll wear it proudly through the dives and the dancehalls
If they had a King of Fools then I could wear that crown  
If you'll wear it proudly through the snakepits and catcalls
 
Like a fifteen year old kid wears a vampire kiss
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly  
If you don't know what is wrong with me
 
Then you don't know what you've missed
 
We are arms and legs wrapped round more than my memory tonight
Well you seem to be shivering dear and the room is awfully warm  
When the bell rang out and the air outside turned blue from fright
 
But in shameless moments you made more of me than just a mess
In the white and scarlet billows that subside beyond the storm  
And a handful of eagerness says "What do you suggest?"
 
[chorus]
You have this expression dear no words could take its place  
 
And I wear it like a badge that you put all over my face  
 
 
[Chorus]  
 
 
I'll wear it proudly through the dives and the dancehalls  
 
If you'll wear it proudly through the snakepits and catcalls  
 
Like a fifteen year old kid wears a vampire kiss  
 
If you don't know what is wrong with me  
 
Then you don't know what you've missed  
 
 
Were your arms and legs wrapped round more than my memory tonight  
 
When the bell rang out and the air around turned blue from fright  
 
But in shameless moments you made more of me than just a mess  
 
And a handful of eagerness says "What do you suggest?"  
 
 
 
[Chorus]
