Coffee Homeground (2018 Remaster)

[Verse 1]

Down in the cellar

You're getting into making poison

You slipped some on the side

Into my glass of wine

And I don't want any coffee homeground

[Verse 2]

Offer me a chocolate

No thank you, spoil my diet, know your game

Tell me just how come

They smell of bitter almonds?

It's a no-no to your coffee homeground

[Pre-Chorus]

Pictures of Crippen

Lipstick-smeared

Torn wallpaper

Have the walls got ears here?

[Chorus]

Well, you won't get me with your Belladonna (In the coffee)

And you won't get me with your arsenic (In the pot of tea)

And you won't get me in a hole to rot (With your hemlock)

On the rocks

[Verse 3]

Where are the plumbers

Who went a-missing here on Monday?

There was a tall man

With his companion

And I bet you gave them coffee homeground

[Verse 4]

Maybe you're lonely

And only want a little company

Keep your recipes

For the rats to eat

And may they rest in peace with coffee homeground

[Pre-Chorus]

Have the walls got ears here?

[Chorus]

Won't get me with your Belladonna (In the coffee)

And you won't get me with your arsenic (In the pot of tea)

And you won't put me in a six foot plot (With your hemlock)

On the rocks

[Outro]

With your hemlock on the rocks

"Noch ein Glas, mein Liebchen"

With your hemlock on the rocks

(La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la)

With your hemlock on the rocks

(La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la)

"Es schmeckt wunderbar"

With your hemlock on the rocks

(La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la)

"Es schmeckt wunderbar"

With your hemlock on the rocks

(La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la-la, la-la)

With your hemlock on the rocks

With your hemlock on the rocks

With your hemlock on the rocks
