Ex

(what if your partner's family hated you as passionately as you loved... Then it ended? A song lyric)

Duck and cover -
She's not your lover
And her family
Been waiting for this day
They'd gladly slaughter
The defiler of their daughter
She dumped you,
Now they're free to make you pay

She wasn't normal in any way
Kept scorpions and slept by day
But you ignored it cause she is so hot
Dangerous and classy- everything you're not.

She took you home to meet her folks
They showed you photos of her other blokes
The icy tones,the hatred in their stares
Alive or dead - to them it's splitting hairs

Duck and cover -
She's not your lover
And her family
Are gunning for your head
They'd gladly slaughter
The defiler of their daughter
She dumped you,
Now they're free to kill you dead

Whose were those footsteps in the empty street?
The bitter malice in her father's feet?
The razor blades in ma's apple pie
Her sister's tarot says that you should die

Bridge: They been cursing
Your 'better or for worse'ing
Sickened by your
Bareness in her bed.
You tried to tell her
But she said that you were petty
Bring on the bullets
Raining down with the confetti

But that's all over, no more ball and chain
They want to chain your balls-to bring you pain
She took the car, her clothes, a kitchen knife
They want to take it all, and then your life

Duck and cover -
She's not your lover
And her family
Are gunning for your head
They'd gladly slaughter
The defiler of their daughter
She dumped you,
Now they're free to kill you dead

They dug a flowerbed - full six feet deep
The bedroom handle turns while you're asleep
But you have locks and contacts on your side
That's how their water came to mix with cyanide

Loved it!! :)

Glad my parents dont treat guys that way... My dog might... LOL!

Brilliant. So are you a music man too?

Sounds like you're better off out of it! Great writing & enjoyed the 'payback' twist at the endπŸ˜‰

Cheers fellas...This comes from my book. As an aside to the main story, one character is in a very hit-and-miss band. This was an imagined song by them @smellyfingers . @iPuss your dog looks after you then? Mines a big brute of a Belgian shepherd with a heart of gold. Or possibly Winalot.

@Fly10 thanks! There's always payback :-)

Amazing !

@wolfie Jake is a born protector.

@kivihe thanks!

@iPuss looks like a handsome beast

Excellent! I could so hear this to some Richard Thompson music

Not sure why my posts always post twice.

Good one nik. Can't imagine bongos in it tho... 😊

@ckahn that's be awesome. Love 'Dad's Going to Kill Me'

@leelee101 we can squeeze em in there!

@wolfie that's a good one. His Vincent Black Lightening is in my top 10. I'm lucky as Northern CA wine country seems to call him back my way every year. He's amazing

Good one!

That's really good. Think I went out with her lol

@hairy maybe u didπŸ˜„πŸ˜œπŸ˜œ

@ckahn I always manage to miss gigs - I'm either too late to book or in another country :-)

@hairy lol. Check those locks then

@Mizzywoo thanks mate!

@wolfie oh bummer. He's amazing in concert. If you like him you should also like Bruce Cockburn. Heard of him?

@ckahn yes! I don't know of many other people that do know him tho!

@ckahn As a couple of curveballs... Do you know Brendan Perry? The Divine Comedy? What about Robert Plant?

@wolfie don't know the first two and do you mean Plant from Led Zeppelin? I'll check out the others.

If they didn't even have those things you were better off man :)

Did* bloody auto correct

@RichWithey It's immense fun as he knowingly writes lyrics which a) are offensive. b) are deliberately cheesy.c) parody other songs. Love writing that

Good to hear, I've had some interesting parents to deal with in me time :)

@paddyduke yeh? I wanna see that written sometime :-)
