Meat and Potatoes

My baby came to me lately 'Honey, please don't take this bad, but maybe When you laid me Could we try to spice it up?' I looked across the table First to see if she was joking No joke There was no flicker Just a girl who wanted more Than meat and potatoes She may stop at whips and chains She needs carousal More arousal A bit of pain So we started by using handcuffs We tried a can of cold whipped cream I was allergic to so much dairy She had to finish it all by herself Then I slapped her She wasn't expecting So she hit me back She friggin' cracked me I got a nose bleed She was angry She wanted more Than mean and potatoes She may stop at pumps and drains! She needs carousal More arousal A bit of pain Invite the neighbours Or total strangers Give yourself a leg up, honey Wear 'The Queen' mask Put on the French basque It's full of handy holes If we're going to use them all We're going to need more than Meat and potatoes! She may draw the line at dolls and freaks She needs some abusing Some amusement To get through the week 'I know you respect me You won't reject me And the arrow of our love is straight and true' --- Meat and Potatoes - Belle and Sebastian
