Knife and Fork

Lyrics

Chorus:
 I'm comin' back home to you
 Stuck to you like crazy glue
 Don't wanna go on living without
 Something left to shout about
 We'll play the game of love and fate
 I'll be the knife and fork, and you be the plate...
 Now welcome baby to my pad of delights
 Have a drink... do you like my tights?
 This switch here'll make the lights go down low
 And this one here makes all the bubbles go
 The water's warm, yes, a sunken tub
 Tonight you'll be joinin' my exclusive club
 Here now do you wanna see somethin' fine?
 Straight from Singapore... cost me five and nine
 It's a picture of a man and an Egyptian queen
 Kept in the family, if you know what I mean
 Chorus repeat
 Now I know you'll say my approach is direct
 But don't throw out this mail before you check
 We go together like fish and fin
 Aphrodite and Zeus, water and Gunga Din
 We'll perform here on this sacrificial slab
 For your sweet, sweet love, I'll even go back to rehab
 Chorus repeat
 For you I'll even grow a pencil thin moustache
 You can put me in chains... I'll wear that wolf mask
 And you can starve me in your basement for a couple of weeks
 Just please let me squeeze one of your rosy cheeks
 I wanna float with you on a cumulus cloud
 I wanna take you far away from this maddening crowd
 You can scratch up my back with your long fingernails
 We'll drink some weird wine and eat psychedelic snails
