The People Who Run The Country - Keep My Wife's Name

I'm off to see a man about a defibrillator
'Cause you stop my heart eight times a day
When I look at you I see Menelaus in a whole new light
Oh, I'd launch a million ships
Fuck-off cruise liners with nuclear warheads
Yeah, 'cause there's something primal in all of this
You peel off the centuries of civilisation
"Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!"
"Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!"
I would conquer worlds for you, for you, for you
I would conquer worlds for you
For you
Now this is a story all about how you floored me with this crazy love
This lunar, howler love
Poetry spurting like blood
One minute I'm Rimbaud, next I'm Rambo
My quill in the throat of a milk-faced waiter
Your joy is my joy
Your pain is my pain
I want everybody in the house to know
I came here tonight to hear the crowd go...
"Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!"
"Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!"
I would conquer worlds for you, for you, for you
I would conquer worlds for you
"I wanna apologize to the Academy
I wanna apologize to all my fellow nominees
And I know, to do what we do
You gotta smile and you gotta pretend like that's ok"
My pain
Your pain is my pain
Your pain is my pain
Your pain is mine
Aaaaaah!
Of course, I am aware you never asked me to conquer a world for me
You're not Lady Macbeth
Who incidentally was written by a man
And Bonnie Tyler's Holding Out For A Hero?
Written by two men
Of course it fucking was
Oh, I'd conquer worlds for you
But I draw the line at therapy
"Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!"
"Keep my wife's name out your fucking mouth!"
Uh
Uh
I would conquer worlds for you, for you, for you
I would conquer worlds for you
I would conquer worlds for you, for you, for you
I would conquer worlds for you
For you, for you, for you
I ain't fucking leaving the toilet seat down though
