Everything But the Girl - Shoot Me Down Lyrics

Hush your mouth now, honey mine
Have you been waiting all this time
To so loudly disagree, kick the feet from under me?
Did you come here to shoot me down
Bury me on my own home ground
Own, my home ground?

Hold your tongue now, mother mine
For you've held it all this time
And now's no time to shout and swear
That you despise the things I care about
For your territory will always be miles and miles from me
From me, miles and miles from me, hey

Stop my mouth with kisses, dear
For ever they will keep me here
And these drunken blasphemies must never make us enemies
For we'll have to meet once more
Sober and as strongly bound as before
As before, as strongly bound as before
