| 作词 : Hammill | |
| Wear your hair like Veronica Lake | |
| and he says you look ever so pretty | |
| as he brushes the tear from your cheek almost tenderly... | |
| soon he'll be home. | |
| Falling in love was your first mistake, | |
| with a heart that held no trace of pity. | |
| As you look in the mirror you wonder what face you will see | |
| when he comes home. | |
| Soon he'll be | |
| in through the door in a cloud of rage and impotence; | |
| calling you whore, his greeting is a Glasgow Kiss; | |
| down on the floor you raise your arms but there is no defence... | |
| he's only in love with his fists. | |
| Wear your hair like Veronica Lake | |
| and the bruises won't show where he hits you; | |
| safe behind the curtain, in private, in secret nobody will see | |
| how he comes home. | |
| Soon he'll be | |
| into your face in a spittle-stream of vitriol and abuse, | |
| filling the place with the stench of alcohol and piss; | |
| no saving grace, no comfort, no escape and no excuse: | |
| he's only in love with his fists. | |
| If this is all that there is | |
| isn't there somewhere to run to? | |
| Or do you think in the future he'll change his ways? | |
| Is that why you stay? | |
| He is not your heaven-sent protector, he is not an angel from above, | |
| he is not the man that you once married: now his fists are all he loves. | |
| He is just a weakling and a bully, he is not the devil in disguise; | |
| he is not the man that you once married, he only wants to see you cry. | |
| He only wants to hear you beg, he only wants to see you hurt, | |
| he only wants to see you bleed, he only want to make you cry. | |
| He is not your heaven-sent protector, he is not an angel from above, | |
| he is not the man that you once married: now his fists are all he loves. | |
| Oh, darling, darling, is that why you stay? | |
| His fists are all he loves. |
