Tie Me To The Length Of That

Public Image Limited · This Is What You Want...This Is What You Get [1984]

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

Variety, fondling surprises

The syllables 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



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, ahh

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



Ooh, ahh

Pretty, pretty baby

Pretty baby

Baby, baby



Ooh, ah

What a lovely, little baby



There is selection, many shapes and sizes

Variety, fondling surprises

The syllables 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
