Shut Up Venus

Well it's amusing to think I thought that we'd be wed
God has secretly pronounced you dead
Ten painted piggies, colour deepest red
Asleep so cold in the same bed
The television and you are now the closest friends
A good digestion for love stories that so happily end
But all emotion you know is just as warm as the snow
So tell your silly winged friend to put away her bow

'Cos you can break your heart upon my head
But the light I'll show will still be red
As we sleep separately in the same bed
Sleep separately in the same bed

Shut up venus - your name means trouble
This will not last I hope the trouble won't double
I never will hold that time bomb again
I never will hold that time bomb again

When I awoke and arose in my birthday clothes
I found the end of my bed had only ten toes
An emptiness of pocket where my money used to grow
But an overdose of joy I thought I'd never know
See every comic strip relationship
Straight off the good ship lollipop
Would make antibiotics sick
And angels lose their wings
See every comic strip relationship
Straight off the good ship lollipop
Would make antibiotics sick
And every angel sing

That you can break your heart upon my head
But the light I'll show will still be red
As we sleep separately in the same bed
Sleep separately in the same bed

Shut up venus - your name means trouble
This will not last I hope the trouble won't double
I never will hold that time bomb again
I never will hold that time bomb again
'Cos you can break your heart upon my head

But the light I'll show will still be red
As we sleep separately in the same bed
Sleep separately in the same bed

Shut up venus - your name means trouble
This will not last I hope the trouble won't double
I never will hold that time bomb again
I never will hold that time bomb again
Shut up venus - your name means trouble

This will not last I hope the trouble won't double
I never will hold that time bomb again
Again
