Tie Me to the Length of That Songtext

Trials and tribulations

When I was born, the doctor didn′t like me
He grabbed my ankles, held me like a turkey
Dear Mummy, why'd you let him hit me?
This was wrong, I knew you didn′t love me

There is selection, many shapes and sizes (I keep these feelings deep inside my body)
Variety and fondling surprises (it's not the union both of us expected)
The syllables, they trigger-happy opposites (remember daddy, when you made him hold me)
Encountering those devious devices (safe in his arms, then the bastard dropped me)
Satisfying all that you are craving (pretty baby, oh, little baby)
Considering life is now worth saving
Tie me to the length of that

Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that

You'll be sorry you don′t love me
Something is happening to my body
Nature is those little bits and pieces


Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that

When I was born, the doctor didn′t like me
He grabbed my ankles, held me like a turkey
Dear mummy, why'd you let him hit me?
This was wrong, I knew you didn′t love me

I keep these feelings deep inside my body
It's not the union both of us expected
Remember daddy when you made him hold me
Safe in his arms, then the bastard dropped me

Ooh, ah, pretty, pretty baby
Pretty baby, baby, baby boo-hoo

Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Considering life is now worth saving
Stupid drunk, you′ll be sorry you don't love me

Pretty baby, pretty, pretty baby
Pretty baby, pretty, pretty baby
Ooh, ahh, what a lovely little baby


There is selection, many shapes and sizes
Variety and fondling surprises
The syllables, they trigger-happy opposites
Encountering those devious devices
Satisfying all that you are craving
Considering life is now worth saving

Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that
Tie me to the length of that (until the end)
