The Ballad of Tom Jones Songtext
von Space

What did I do wrong?
Oh you nearly drove me cuckoo
Am I really all that bad?
You′re worse than Hannibal Lecter, Charlie Manson, Freddie Krueger
Why are we still together?
Oh I can't leave until you′re dead
You mean 'Til Death Do Us Part'?
I mean like cyanide, strangulation or an axe through your head
It was lucky for us I turned the radio on
They say that music soothes the savage beast
There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red
The two of us would surely have ended up dead

You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
You′ll never know but you saved our lives
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
I could never throw my knickers at you
And I don′t come from Wales


So haven't solved our problems
You mean we hate each others guts
I still wanna poison your pizza
And I still wanna cut off your nuts
I phoned the marriage guidance
I tied the phone line round your neck
I′m sick of all this hatred
Well that will be the arsenic making you sick
You were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff
As I tried to jump out I knocked the stereo on
You changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes
It was lucky for us we bought his greatest hits

You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
You'll never know but you saved our lives
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
I could never throw my knickers at you
And I don′t come from Wales

And now the war is over
I've lost the urge to break your neck
I owe my life to ′What's New Pussycat'
Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you dead
Oh I used to call you Satan
And you were Cruella de Vil
And now you call me your Delilah
And I am not your Lucifer
And I am just your pussycat
But just a word of warning now
Just in case we ever get tired of his voice
I know the Mafia, Godzilla, King Kong
And I know an atom bomb that′s going for a song


You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
You′ll never know but you saved our lives
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
I could never throw my knickers at you
And I don't come from Wales

You stopped us from killing each other
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
You′ll never know but you saved our lives
Tom Jones, Tom Jones
I could never throw my knickers at you
And I don't come from Wales
