The Legendary Pink Dots - The Shock Of Contact lyrics
[The Legendary Pink Dots - The Shock Of Contact lyrics]
Astrid, do you recall the Sundays at the
Spa with double straws from a
Carton with a heart on who could ask
For more? You'd assure me you'd
Support me as I tried to write that
Novel in the hovel we called home (OUR
Home) you'd mow the lawn you'd pay the
Bills you touched me there the
Shock of Contact kept us warm
And Astrid, you kept your word
You never said a word, as I ripped up the
Pages, spent your wages, entertaining
Friends you hated, making bombs and
Planting them in galleries your
Salary was wasted (oh how criminal)
They cut the power
They pulled the plugs - they
Took away the phone
We're quite alone we share a candle in
The cellar - oooh you touched me
There the shock of contact kept us warm
And Astrid
As sure as blue skies always turn
To grey - they came with
Guns i tried to run and you took all
The blame they took you and I never
Said a word - and now you never say a
Word as I lean through the bars i
Whisper my apologies
Oh Jezus you stare clean through
Me you cut me
Down, I touch you there the shock
Of contact keeps me warm
Spa with double straws from a
Carton with a heart on who could ask
For more? You'd assure me you'd
Support me as I tried to write that
Novel in the hovel we called home (OUR
Home) you'd mow the lawn you'd pay the
Bills you touched me there the
Shock of Contact kept us warm
And Astrid, you kept your word
You never said a word, as I ripped up the
Pages, spent your wages, entertaining
Friends you hated, making bombs and
Planting them in galleries your
Salary was wasted (oh how criminal)
They cut the power
They pulled the plugs - they
Took away the phone
We're quite alone we share a candle in
The cellar - oooh you touched me
There the shock of contact kept us warm
And Astrid
As sure as blue skies always turn
To grey - they came with
Guns i tried to run and you took all
The blame they took you and I never
Said a word - and now you never say a
Word as I lean through the bars i
Whisper my apologies
Oh Jezus you stare clean through
Me you cut me
Down, I touch you there the shock
Of contact keeps me warm
