about

Get a room. If you're swinging it out there, you've only got yourself to blame when the sh*t goes down.

lyrics

Back against the fence, leg wrapped around me
Somebody heard us & now the neighbour knows
My car across the street, bitumen too narrow
For anyone to miss it now that a stranger was at home

And your husband's crazy
He's got everybody covered
Now he's gonna want me with my head on a plate

Shoulda kept it to the hotel room
Or the back of my car
Jesus I tried to stop you screaming
I could see the old lady looking over the wall

Simple brief hello, held a conversation
Somewhere by the alcohol away from your friends
Backyard in suburbia of a mutual acquaintance
Humble enough beginnings for a lust that won't quit

And your husband's crazy
He's got everybody covered
Now he's gonna want me with my head on a stake

Shoulda kept it to the hotel room
Or the back of my car
Jesus I tried to stop you screaming
See the old lady looking over the wall
Better let the phone ring out
Cos he's just mad enough to call
Turn me into pulp in a couple of seconds
I can see him out front waiting for me to show

Your husband's crazy, he's got everybody covered
But every night your blue-eyed stare looks in on my dream
So I cannot discontinue this dangerous fascination
Cos nobody fits you so well or knows you like I do

Now I keep it to the hotel room
Or the back of my car
Jesus I tried to stop you screaming
I can see the old lady looking over the wall
Hotel room
Or the back of my car
Jesus I tried to stop you screaming
See the old lady looking over the wall
