Coffee homeground Lyrics by Kate Bush

Coffee homeground Lyrics

    Down in the cellar
    You're getting into making poison.
    You slipped some on the side,
    Into my glass of wine,
    And I don't want any coffee--homeground.

    Offer me a chocolate,
    No thank you, spoil my diet, know your game!
    But tell me just how come
    They smell of bitter almonds?
    It's a no-no to your coffee homeground.

    Pictures of Crippin
    Lipstick-smeared.
    Torn wallpaper.
    Have the walls got ears here?

    Well, you won't get me with your Belladonna--in the coffee,
    And you won't get me with your aresenic--in the pot of tea,
    And you won't get me in a hole to rot--with your hemlock
    On the rocks.

    Where are the plumbers
    Who went a-missing here on Monday?
    There was a tall man
    With his companion,
    And I bet you gave them coffee--homeground.

    Maybe you're lonely,
    And only want a little company,
    But keep your recipes
    For the rats to eat,
    And may they rest in peace with coffee homeground.

    Well, you won't get me with your Belladonna--in the coffee,
    And you won't get me with your aresenic--in the pot of tea,
    And you won't put me in a six-foot plot--with your hemlock
    On the rocks.

    You won't get me with your Belladonna--in the coffee,
    And you won't get me with your aresenic--in the pot of tea,
    And you won't get me in a hole to rot--with your hemlock
    On the rocks.

    With your hemlock on the rocks.
    "Noch ein Glas, mein Liebchen?"*
    With your hemlock on the rocks.
    "Es schmeckt wunderbahr!"*
    With your hemlock on the rocks.
    "Und ???"
