from the songs album A Round And A Bout
(difford/tilbrook)
Slaughtered gutted and heartbroken
With no spirit or no soul
My emotions have been stolen
Love has left me with this hole
Now my heart's a deep dark cavern
Emptiness is all i feel
I'm the pig she tried to fatten
And now all i do is squeal
But things could be worse
Things could be very bad for me
O' my dear i find myself
A stitch short of a tapestry
Patience on the verge of breaking
I'm kicking cans around the street
Like a bad cold i need shaking
Like a fool i want to cheat
But to me she was an angel
And i went and let her down
The attraction was so fatal
That she kicked me off her cloud
The light was on there in her window
I saw her shadow moving around
I tried to stand on tip toes
Hoping that she might look down
I wanted so bad to call her
But i had to walk away
Slaughtered, gutted and heartbroken
Another diamond down the drain
