about

I am so fucken proud of this song. yea yea i know there's already a song with this title but .. ours is better ( look i tried to change it and came close with Bananas and Headaches but .. it's not as catchy dammit!) i'd like to think the songwriting crew at Mowtown if they ever .. NO.. WHEN they hear this will give us a thumbs up on social media .. that's Lachlan our secret weapon from the recording and mixing desks playing the piano and glockenspiel..

I know the lyrics are unabashedly romantic but i remember reading a quote once from Cronos , he of the amazing Venom , when asked about his lyrics "why are Venoms lyrics so dark, evil and downright satanic?" he replied "have you heard what we sound like?? i'm not gonna sing about picking fucken flowers am i!" so.. when you hear this delicate melody.. "of course we're gonna sing about fucken picking flowers!"

lyrics

Oh, ya pinned ya hair back
I like it when ya hair's pinned back
I've made the bed and brekkie
I even pinched some flowers from the outside

Well my arms are needles and pins
So is every inch of my skin
Ah hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Well my arms are needles and pins
So's every inch of my skin

And did you drop that smile
Here, let me pick it up for you
And your shark tooth necklace
If it's somewhere here, I’ll find that too

Black and white prints on the wall
You’re half hidden under that shawl
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Across that table from you
Each and every morning with you
Oh, yeah

Pa, pa, pa, pa, papa,papa, pa, pa
Gentle volume on the stereo
Pa, pa, pa, pa, papa,papa, pa, pa
Stir some sugar in ya tea
Together, together, together
Shooting holes in the world
Together, together, together
Stop, kiss and then, then reload
Together, together, together
Pa,papa, pa, pa
Pa, papa, pa, pa
Yes, you have shook me

You've let ya hair down
I love it when ya wear ya hair out
A few bites of ya toast
Ask me if I wanna bite too

Yeah, my arms are needles and pins
So is every inch of my skin
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
My arms are needles and pins
So's every inch of my skin
Hoo
