It's pretty plain (Pretty plain), he means it too I don't want to sell you lines I only mean to do you right But I'm a simple slave of appetite I'm a poor slave of appetite [Verse 2: Paddy McAloon & Wendy Smith] Hunger howls (Hunger howls), hunger's red Hunger stays (Hunger stays) till it's fed Then it some ha-ha-how fades Then it somehow leaves your sight [Pre-Chorus] Depending on its appetite Depending on your appetite [Chorus] So if you take, then put back good If you steal, be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me So if you take, then put back good If you steal, be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite [Synth riff: Thomas Dolby] [Verse 3: Paddy McAloon & Wendy Smith] Here she is with two small problems And the best part of the blame Wishing she could call him "Heartache" But it's not a boy's name If you grow (If you grow) up to be Just like him (Just like him), just like me You're fighting for exclusive rights For honeymoons each sleepless night [Pre-Chorus] In which case I'll call you appetite Yes, I think I'll call you appetite [Chorus] So if you take, then put back good If you steal, be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite So if you take, then put back good If you steal, be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite Then I think I'll name you after me Yes, I think I'll call you appetite
