[00: 12]you know i used to call my baby up
[00: 17]and we'd get real close
[00: 21]just like the telephone was a sofa
[00: 25]and our thoughts would mingle
[00: 28]and we'd leave our minds wide open
[00: 33]like a big window in the evening air
[00: 38]and we'd say
[00: 39]"hey baby, come on in and help yourself to my soul"
[00: 50]"hey baby, come on in and help yourself to my soul"
[01: 01]but these days, even saying, "hello? how are you?"
[01: 05]"i'm fine. how are you?" takes a lot of sweat
[01: 10]
[01: 15]ain't that a shame
[01: 20]ain't that a shame
[01: 26]but in linctus house
[01: 32]in my flesh hotel
[01: 38]i don't care anymore
[01: 43]
[01: 45]you know my baby and me
[01: 47]as kimberley would say
[01: 49]we'd curl up like two dogs
[01: 51]in front of a fire
[01: 55]and our eyes would reflect each other
[01: 58]in the warm long heat of love
[02: 02]yeah, the warm long heat of love
[02: 07]and i would hear the rain falling
[02: 09]on the leaves outside
[02: 13]i could'nt stand too close the window
[02: 16]'cause i'd shiver if i left her side
[02: 23]but now i'd shake if we should meet
[02: 31]and i spend most of my time in the bushes
[02: 34]
[02: 36]ain't that a shame
[02: 39]know what you're doing
[02: 41]ain't that a shame
[02: 44]know what you've done
[02: 48]but in linctus house
[02: 53]in my flesh hotel
[02: 59]i don't care anymore
[03: 05]
[03: 15]"i understand how everything sometimes
[03: 17]turns out to be nothing," you say
[03: 23]but i wonder if you do
[03: 31]and if we understood each other
[03: 34]there'd be no need to talk
[03: 39]but even that, even talking is out of reach
[03: 44]should i say it with flowers or
[03: 46]should i say it with nails?
[03: 52]i'm not the kind to push you around
[03: 56]but i don't want to make myself vulnerable
[04: 03]and if i was on my knees
[04: 05]you'd have a pretty good view of my skull
[04: 09]and i happen to know you're carrying a chisel
[04: 12]
[04: 13]but in linctus house
[04: 18]in my flesh hotel
[04: 24]i don't care anymore
[04: 29]no
[04: 31]in linctus house
[04: 35]in my flesh hotel
[04: 40]i don't care
[04: 46]
[04: 58][04: 47]ain't that a shame
[05: 01][04: 50]know what you're doing
[05: 04][04: 52]ain't that a shame
[05: 07][04: 56]know what you've done
