Bell X1 - The Coalface lyrics

If this how I'm supposed to feel
It doesn't seem quite right
I'm horny and I'm sickened and
I'm spoiling for a fight but, you're yawning

Chasing in poetry, getting on in prose
I can't quite work out how
This duvet cover goes you're still yawning

She is inconsolable in all but your arms
Might be cute now but one
Day she'll turn around and say I hate you
They say it's the most selfish
Thing that you can do
The last thing the world needs is more of you
But who'll take the wheel?
Who'll dream it all up again?

You're ready to blow
You're like a coiled spring
You're like torch paper, you're like kindling
Yeah, you're snapping at me
You're a dirty fighter
But, your eyes are all the brighter
At the coalface of love

As the boy sat on your head
I asked you would you be my wife
I had a better plan but it got swept aside
There's a place for everything
And everything in it's place

Sometimes I hold you in familiar contempt
I slide from tender to cold
In too easy a moment it's a poor show

Now I see you coming, my heart is beating
My heart is beating like it wants out
Like it wants out

You're ready to blow
You're like a coiled spring
You're like torch paper, you're like kindling
Yeah, you're snapping at me
You're a dirty fighter
But, your eyes are all the brighter
At the coalface of love the coalface of love
The coalface of love the coalface of love
