All the King’s Men Songtext
von Wild Beasts

"Watch me, watch me", the belle of the ball
"My heart, my hand, and everything I own"
And we are the boys with new shiny shoes
We′ve seen 'em all, and we′ve chosen you

And now no one will find your limit
Girls from Roedean, girls from Shipley
Girls from Hounslow, girls from Whitby, you're a candied queen
And let me show my darling what that means
"Watch me, watch me"


"Hatch me, hatch me", a girl before
And bouncing round behind the bedroom doors
And we are the boys who'll drape you in jewels
Cut off your hair, and throw out your shoes

Because baby, you won′t need them where you′ll be
Girls astride me, girls beneath me
Girls before me, girls between me, you're birthing machines
And let me show my darling what that means
"Hatch me, hatch me"

And baby, turns out I′m evil
In all my dreams, girls who'll clothe me, girls who′ll feed me
Girls who want me, girls who need me
"All you pretty things waiting for somebody
And number my babies, and my broken body"
