momus – murderers the hope of women lyrics

with this knife i cut the cake
who will be my bride today
sweet f-nny adams
watch her climb the step ladder
a present from her stepfather
sweet f-nny adams
see her reaching out and stripping down the muslin drapes
a cover for her nakedness, a veil for her face
with curtains for your wedding dress
you must take your place amongst
the proper little madams
and now because i love you
i must take my place too

amongst the murderers, the hope of women
death in every new beginning
i must take this woman for my sentence of life
and she must take my knife

i will buy a ring of gold
and you will practise birth control
sweet f-nny adams
like a puppet on a string
of oestrogen and progesterone
sweet f-nny adams
this is where your misery starts
this is where your mystery stops
we’ll rent a television
to replace pandora’s box
and i will wear a business face
and you will learn your proper place
from those proper little madams
and in my world of cut and thrust
i will learn that my place, my place must …

be with the murderers, the hope of women
death in every new beginning
i must take this woman for my sentence of life
and she must take my knife

in my pipe and slippers
do i look like jack the ripper?
sweet f-nny adams
but i poisoned you with every kiss
smothered you with domestic bliss
sweet f-nny adams
underneath the suntan from the sun lamp that we bought
your face is paler than the pale face of a corpse
and from the seventh floor of our bungalow
you flung yourself down to where they stood below
those proper little madams
but in white hair, wrinkles and false teeth
i escaped detection by the police

one of the murderers, the hope of women
death in every new beginning
i must take this woman for my sentence of life
and she must take my knife
