Gimme the Wire - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

Oh Temple darling, you have made my life so neat

But a dirty old death still waits in the bridal suite

And oh, I can’t see around that bend

Oh, in the end they put my head in a box

And then they give me the wire

They’re gonna give me the wire

They’re gonna give me the wire

They’re gonna give me the wire

Oh Temple dear, I don’t mean to be a thankless boor

But as bad as its been, I think I’d still rather have taken more

So, as you’ve eased my way, my friend

Won’t you watch them put my head in a box?

And watch them give me the wire

Watch them give me the wire

Watch them give me the wire

Watch them give me the wire

So, as you’ve eased my way, my friend

Won’t you watch them put my head in a box?

And watch them give me the wire

Watch them give me the wire

They’re gonna give me the wire

They’re gonna give me the wire
