Catatonia Ballad Of Tom Jones Lyrics

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 Lechter, Charlie Manson, Freddie Krueger

Why are we still together? 
Oh I can't leave until you're dead 
You
mean 'til 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
soothes the savage beast 
There was something in that voice that stopped us
seeing red 
The two of us would surely have ended up dead 

[Chorus]


You stopped us from killing each other 
Tom Jones, Tom Jones

You'll never know but you saved our lives 
Tom Jones, Tom Jones 
I
could never throw my knickers at you 
And I don't come from Wales 

So
haven't solved our problems 
You mean we hate each others guts 
I 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 
Well that will 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 

[Repeat Chorus]


And now the war is over 
I've lost the urge to break your neck 
I
owe my life to What's New Pussycat 
Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing
you dead 
Oh I used to call you satan 
And you were Cruella De'Ville

And now you call me your Delilah 
And I am not your lucifer 
And I am
just your pussycat 
But just a word of warning now 
Just in case we ever
get tured of his voice 
I know the Mafia, Godzilla, King Kong 
And I know
an atom that's bomb going for a song 

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
