Appetite

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Paddy McAloon & Wendy Smith] "Please be careful" is never careful Till it hears the gun She will always pay the bills For the having big fun He talks so well (Talks so well), what can you do? It's pretty plain (Pretty plain), he means it too I don't want to sell you lines I only mean to do you right But I'm a simple slave of appetite I'm a poor slave of appetite [Verse 2: Paddy McAloon & Wendy Smith] Hunger howls (Hunger howls), hunger's red Hunger stays (Hunger stays) till it's fed Then it some ha-ha-how fades Then it somehow leaves your sight [Pre-Chorus] Depending on its appetite Depending on your appetite [Chorus] So if you take, then put back good If you steal, be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me So if you take, then put back good If you steal, be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite [Synth riff: Thomas Dolby] [Verse 3: Paddy McAloon & Wendy Smith] Here she is with two small problems And the best part of the blame Wishing she could call him "Heartache" But it's not a boy's name If you grow (If you grow) up to be Just like him (Just like him), just like me You're fighting for exclusive rights For honeymoons each sleepless night [Pre-Chorus] In which case I'll call you appetite Yes, I think I'll call you appetite [Chorus] So if you take, then put back good If you steal, be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite So if you take, then put back good If you steal, be Robin Hood If your eyes are wanting all you see Then I think I'll name you after me I think I'll call you appetite Then I think I'll name you after me Yes, I think I'll call you appetite
