jamie lenman - the love me or die - live in london lyrics

[spoken intro]
this is called “the love me or die”
one, two

[verse 1]
i studied evil, i can’t deny
was a hoodoo charm called the love me or die
some fingernail, a piece of her dress
apothecary at the devil’s behest
and since you asked me i will relate, the piteous consequence of my mistake
falling slave to passing desire
making the dreaded love me or die

[verse 2]
against the jungle primeval green
she had the looks of a beauty queen
wearing broken bracelet and broken shoe
seventy+five cent bottle perfume
i said “good morning”, i tipped my hat
all the while i was cunning like a rat
smiling gaily, looked her in the eye
i felt in pocket, that love me or die

[verse 3]
my past history is one to behold
i studied magic from days of old
membership, secret society
there’s power and wealth in my family
but oh matilda, darling
why you don’t take my wedding ring?
like a demon under the floor
i buried the hoodoo down the back door
[verse 4]
lord, word broke through the town
that a fever struck matilda down
nine thirty, the doctors arrive
and the priest come running, quarter to five
standing in the weeds early next day
i seen the meat wagon rolling away
i saw matilda laying in the back
her old mother wearing a suit of black
oh, ahh

[verse 5]
well, sound the trumpet, and bang the drum
i wait for me judgement to come
i know her spirit is there down beneath
i hear the weeping and the gnashing of the t++th
flames of h+ll l!ck at my feet
in the shadow of the jungle i feel the heat
i know matilda’s waiting for me too
all cause she died from a bad hoodoo
oh, ahh
ohh
ohh
ohh

[spoken outro]
thanks very much
that’s one of my favourites
good stuff
and we’re gonna get the electrics back
