Under Your Thumb Lyrics by David McCormack

Little Murders

2009

(Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah)
I waited for the lift, I got in it
I went up to the mezzanine-ah
I walked around, got some chewy, got a headache
Spent all my money on a magazine-ah (That said)
Oh, pretty girl, oh, voodoo child
Oh, woman (Ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha, ah-ha)
You know I would do anythin' for you
Anythin' if you wanted me to (Ha, ah-ah-ah)
You must remember me from years before
Hangin' with the Filipinos
But now and then, the words get stuck on my tongue
Am I under your thumb?
Oh, will you stay all night and then just sleep all day?
Am I under your thumb?
Oh, will you banish the night just to sleep all day again?
The following program
Is rated NRC-ah
It's recommended viewin'
By people over sixteen-ah, I say
"Hey, look at that photo, man
It's probably me" (Ha, ha-ha-ha)
"Taken long ago when I was only seventeen
Well, you know what I mean?"
And if I lie to you, God damn it
Will you to me-ah?
And I don't see what all this talkin' has solved
Am I under your thumb?
Oh, will you stay all night and then just sleep all day?
Am I under your thumb?
Oh, will you banish the night just to sleep all day again?
Oh, but I can't understand
I'm just tryin' to make some friends
So give me your name and address again
Give me your name and address again
Give me your name and address again
Give me your name and address again
Give me your name and address again
Give me your name and address again
Give me your name and address again
Give me your name and address again
On second thoughts I'll just stay in and watch the TV glow
(Aah!)
