Please Take - Wire

Please take your knife

Out of my back!

And, when you do

Please don’t twist it!

I felt the stab in my blind side

A poisoned blade to paralyse

A cosh of cash, a net of drink

To anodise, no longer think, so

Please take your knife

Out of my back!

And when you do

Please don’t twist it!

Fuck off out of my face

You take up too much space

Move!

You’re blocking my view

I’ve seen far too much of you

Please take your knife

Out of my back!

And, when you do

Please don’t twist it!

I won’t hear another word

Another sugared lie

I won’t be a part of your

Latest alibi, so

Please take your knife

Out of my back!

And when you do

Please don’t twist it!
