Kevin Godley - Song of Hate lyrics

Artist: Kevin Godley

album: Muscle Memory


If I had a doll of you
I'd sprinkle it with roses and morning dew
Oh, oh, oh, oh
But if I'm being honest and true
I'd rather put you in the freezer
And watch you turn blue
But thank you for keeping my head on straight
Everybody needs a target to focus their hate
And thank you, thank you for raising the bar
It's so good to know you're still as sick as you are
So thank you, thank you for fucking my dream
For every bad decision and hiring the wrong team
You're the Chevrolet of shit
And the caviar of creep
You know I count your mistakes
When I can't get to sleep
You're the prime example of what to avoid
So thank you for filling the hate void
Hey-ho, I hate you so
And thank you, thank you for making me wait
Thank you for inspiring my first song of hate
Without you I'd rely on people from long ago
But you're still fresh in my mind
So stick around and watch the hate grow
Hey-ho, I hate you so
It's funny how you always kept your eye on the prize
But you never saw fit to apologise
Now if you want to swing by
And talk about it some more
My door is always open
But it's a trapdoor
Hey-ho, I'm down below
I'm stoking the furnace
Where the bad eggs go
But let's get this real straight
I don't mean you any harm
But if I ever see you coming
I'll raise the alarm
And I'm tempted to run away and hide (don't you dare)
'Cause this whole thing's been eating me up
Eating me up
You took advantage of me
You took advantage
It's my own fault
I should've followed my gut (it's my own fault)
I got a head butt (it's my own fault)
I should've done the diligence (and I should shoulder some of the blame)
And got the evidence (it's your own fault)
I should've asked for a reference (it's your own fault)
I didn't see the malevolence (it's your own fault)
So you should shoulder some of the blame
And thank you, thank you
For giving me space
For crawling back under your stone
Where I can't see your face
And thank you, thank you
For enriching my life
With the cruel education
Without a second's hesitation
Thank you
For poisoning every good thing I ever knew
Thank you
For pulling the wool over my eyes too
But if it walks like a duck, it's a duck
And if it quacks like a duck, it's a small time crook, so suck
Hey-ho, I'm down below, on this
I'm stoking the furnace
Where the bad eggs go
I got a spy in the queue, up above, in the know
And when you roll down the chute
We'll be humping the bellows
And it'll be time to gloat
Hey-ho, hey-ho
Time to gloat
Hey-ho, hey
It's my own fault
There's a great bell (it's my own fault)
Underneath the earth (it's my own fault)
That tolls whenever the dead give birth (it's my own fault)
To souls like yours (it's your own fault)
To no applause (it's your own fault)
So I keep the furnace doors
Open in welcome
You took a piece of my soul
And left me with a black hole
I watched you botch and bungle
Cheat and fumble
Ego on fire to loser rumbled
You took a piece of my soul
And left me in a black hole
And it's all on me 'cause nothing's ever your fault, is it?
Hey-ho, I'm down below (I hate you so)
I'm stoking the furnace
Where the bad eggs go (look at me!)
Hey-ho, I'm down below (I hate you so)
I'm stoking the furnace
Where the bad eggs go
Hey-ho, I'm down below (I hate you so)
I'm stoking the furnace
Where the bad eggs go
Hey-ho, I'm down below (I hate you so)
I'm stoking the furnace
Where the bad eggs go
Heh, heh
Look at me
I dare you
Heh, heh
Look at me
I fuckin' dare you!
