Tattoo Lyrics

    (heaton/rotheray)
    Sadness has filled a lonely place
    Before that there was just a hole
    At least now there's sadness on my face
    My lower lip has finally found it's role

    So the wind and the rain and the snow
    Had no particular place to go
    So they thought they'd come and spend some time with me
    They're better friends than you could ever be

    Chorus:
    There's a tattoo, a small tattoo
    Waiting there unpaid for you
    And if you ever bump into unlucky
    Don't forget who broke your heart in two
    You better get there early, there's a million in the queue
    Just waiting for the name on their tattoo

    Emptiness has filled a vacant heart
    Finally found a place for it to hide
    And as i wander like a fool from bar to bar
    Empty has become my greatest guide

    And the tears and the pain and the despise
    Looked at me through bankrupt eyes
    They had nowhere else that they could land
    So i invited them to take my bloody hand

    Chorus:
    So queuing for a tattoo and i can't decide the name
    I've been wondering night after night
    When they put that needle in me i'll scream your name in pain
    And i hope he spells 'you bastard' right

    B-a-s-t-a-r-d, stick that needle deep in me
