Lush - The Childcatcher слова песни
(Berenyi)
"Baby," he says, "You are like the clean white page and I the pen.
The innocence I find between your girlish thighs is like the
fountain of youth to my old bones."
And she replies, "Daddy`s little girl`s a precocious child
I love to please, I`ll do anything that you ask of me
Eager to fulfill all of Daddy`s needs."
"Baby," he says, "I can never love older girls like I love you.
You`re easier to please and you never give me grief
`Cause you accept everything I say and do."
And she replies, "I`m in no position to make demands.
I have no past, no one else has done to me what you do.
I`ve got no one else to compare you to."
"And as you grow older, try to stay sixteen all your life,
Old women grow bitter, don`t let that happen to you."
"And why is it charming pretending I`m younger than my years?
Why can`t I grow up with dignity, set me free?"
"Baby," he says, "Now that you`re older I feel our love has died.
Once upon a time you never criticised me.
Oh, I much preferred you as a child."
And I reply, "Everything you said to me was a lie.
I know your kind, you just want a daughter without a wife.
You don`t need a girlfriend you need a life."
