Should've Kept My Eyes Shut Lyrics

	作曲 : Paul Heaton & Dave Rotheray
	作词 : Heaton, Rotheray
	(heaton/rotheray)
	I should've kept my eyes shut
	But i had to go and peep
	But when you saw what i saw
	Well, it's hard just to roll back to sleep
	I would've kept my eyes shut
	But i thought i heard you scream
	And i've a penchant for violence
	You don't seem to find in a dream
	The scene a little clearer
	My father with a rope
	And in the cage, centre-stage
	It's mother who's destined to choke
	And she choke and we choke
	On the words that we wish we'd not spoke
	Just when you felt you had someone to trust
	Out comes the man with the dagger and cloak
	I should've read the novels
	Believed every word
	But the stories they wrote
	Were so different to ones that i'd heard
	I should've kept my eyes shut
	My mouth should've closed
	But the mixture of vomit and blood
	Just crept up through my nose
	It became a little clearer
	As soon as i awoke
	My father stands with rope in hand
	A screaming mother kneels in hope
	And she hope and we hope
	That me words that she said won't provoke
	A smile is removed and a petal is crushed
	What once was a laugh has turned into a joke
	You should've kept your mouth shut
