Lyrics

Mechanical Bull

I'm gonna throw you all off me
Like a mechanical bull and you'll be sorry
I'll be your sweet sugar muffin with the cream
But stay on my back for too long and I'll spin you

I need to be alone
You've been at my throat
I need to be alone
You've been at my throat

I'm going to put you in place like a fixture
All unemotional, black metal bookshelf
I'll be your darling, tits, legs, honey, sweet pea
But I'm a fucking arsehole if you ask me

I need to be alone
You've been at my throat
I need to be alone
You've been at my throat
Need to be alone
You've been at my throat
I need to be alone
You've been at my throat

I'm going to throw all of you off me
Like a mechanical bull and you'll be sorry
I'm going to throw all of you off me
Like a mechanical bull and you'll be sorry
I'm going to throw all of you off me
Like a mechanical bull then you'll be sorry
I'm going to throw all of you off me
Like a mechanical bull then you'll be sorry

I need to be alone
You've been at my throat
I need to be alone
You've been at my throat
I need to be alone
You've been at my throat
I need to be alone
You've been at my throat
