The Triffids

Select language to translate this lyric
I keep a figurine in a locket
I like the way she looks in there
I keep a certain shade of lipstick
silky taste and the way it smears
I bought her a keepsake on a full moon
in a trinket from an old junk shop
now her blush is racing out of control
In a well known teenage pleasure spot
I slept with a wolf and I dined with a thief
and I drank up a river of witchesll never wash your hands of love
youm gonna need a strong anaesthetic
to keep your memory away
I bought myself a pearl handled gun
and Is day
Been with Jonah in the belly of the whale
And with Daniel in the lionll never ever be clean again
and I milk
If this charm should ever wear off
youll never wash your hands of love
