Cantatonia The Ballad Of Tom Jones Lyrics

The Ballad Of Tom Jones Lyrics

What did I do wrong?

 Oh you nearly drove me cuckoo...

 Am I really all that bad?

 You're worse than Hannibal Lecter, Charlie Manson, Freddie Krueger...

 Why're we still together?

 Oh I can't leave you till you're dead...

 You mean till death do us part?

 I mean like cyanide, strangulation or an axe to your head...

 

 It was lucky for us I turned the radio on

 They say that music sooths the savage beast

 There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red

 The two of us would surely have ended up dead

 

 You stopped us from killing each other

 Tom Jones, Tom Jones

 You'll never know but you've saved our lives

 Tom Jones, Tom Jones

 I've never thrown my knickers at you...

 And I don't come from Wales...

 

 Still haven't solved our problem...

 You mean we hate each other's guts?

 Still wanna poison your pizza

 And I still wanna cut off your nuts

 I phoned the marriage guidance

 I tied the phone line round your neck

 I'm sick of all this hatred

 Oh that would be the arsenic making you sick...

 

 You were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff

 As I tried to jump out I knocked the stereo on

 You changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes

 It was lucky for us we bought his Greatest Hits

 

 You stopped us from killing each other

 Tom Jones, Tom Jones

 You'll never know but you've saved our lives

 Tom Jones, Tom Jones

 I've never thrown my knickers at you...

 And I don't come from Wales...

 

 And now our war it's over

 I've lost the urge to brake your neck

 I owe my life to "What's New Pussycat?"

 "Delilah" stopped me hating you and wishing your death

 Oh I used to call you a Satan

 And you were Cruella DeVil

 But now you call me your Delilah

 And now I'm not your Lucifer

 And I am just your pussycat

 

 Well just a word of warning now

 Just in case we ever get tired of his voice

 I know the Mafia, Godzilla, King Kong

 And I know an atom bomb that's going for this song

 

 You stopped us from killing each other

 Tom Jones, Tom Jones

 You'll never know but you've saved our lives

 Tom Jones, Tom Jones

 I've never thrown my knickers at you...

 And I don't come from Wales...

 

 You stopped us from killing each other

 Tom Jones, Tom Jones

 You'll never know but you've saved our lives

 Tom Jones, Tom Jones

 I've never thrown my knickers at you...

 And I don't come from Wales...
