Puffin' On A Coffin' Nail

Dirty Pretty Things

    Continues after the ad

    There's a heart in a girl on a ship on a sea
    And I know that girl is thinking of me
    There's a heart in a girl and I know that it beats like a drum
    But every time that I think of the girl my heart gets heavy and I'm stuck in a whirlwind
    I turn to my shadow and my heart starts to beat like a drum

    Said oh you might upon a steeple set
    Broken crumbling battlements

    Puffin on a coffin nail
    With a wry little smile that she keeps up her shell
    And she hides that forest from the house that hide from the sun
    Puffin on a coffin nail
    With a friend of a friend and an arse like a whale
    Well there's a girl with a friend who was stuck in a disco rut
    Slut

    Oh give me the strength just to give fate a try
    Though my hands get sweaty and my mouth goes dry
    Just to think every time that my plans go awry, you see
    Just give fate a passage but she was just a bore
    And the letters are crazy and a bit cocksure
    And you can't find your mind and my heart on a coffin and agree

    Come with outcry and panting breast
    And break upon the slippery wreck

    Puffin on a coffin nail
    With a friend of a friend with an arse like a whale
    But this girl is a friend of a friend you see
    Stuck in a disco rut
    Puffin on a coffin nail
    Yes she gives you a chance and you give me the mail
    And she works for the mail but she's out on bail
    Well you scream

    So I'm sad to say that my heart shattered this way
    I knew she'd be no better
    Yes I knew if I'd have met her
    That I'd soon enough forget her
    Now face your hero's just pretend
    And I've had a word with him
    (random talk)

    Puffin on a coffin nail
    Yes she's talking like Elvis cos she's just done a rail
    But her lover's on bail with a dealer like a snail on speed
    Puffin on a coffin nail
    Yes I gave her a something just to tell me a tale
    And she told me a tale but she told me a tale
    About you

    So this is the end of the road
    And this is the path that you chose
    Well it's no skin off my nose
    A lover with a brick has had the rose
    End of the road
