This sinister love song is a single from their debut album, An Awesome Wave and was partly inspired by Maurice Sendak's 1963 children's picture book Where The Wild Things Are. Newman explained to Interview Magazine: "The song is about liking someone who you want so much that you want to hurt yourself and them, as well. We related that idea to Where The Wild Things Are, which we all grew up reading, where in the end the beasts say 'Oh, please don't go! We'll eat you whole! We love you so!,' that they would threaten cannibalism to have that person - it's a powerful image." Read more at http://www.songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107859432022/#amSzkQMYKcQY3Wk8.99
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] She may contain the urge to run away But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks Cetirizine, your fever’s gripped me again Never kisses, all you ever send are fullstops (La la la la) Do you know where the wild things go? They go along to take your honey (La la la la) Break down, now weep, build up breakfast Now let’s eat, my love, my love, love, love (La la la la) [Chorus] Muscle to muscle and toe to toe The fear has gripped me, but here I go My heart sinks as I jump up Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut [Verse 2] Do you know where the wild things go? They go along to take your honey (La la la la) Break down, now sleep, build up breakfast Now let’s eat, my love, my love, love, love (La la la la) She bruises, coughs, she splutters pistol shots Hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks She’s morphine, queen of my vaccine My love, my love, love, love (La la la la) [Chorus] Muscle to muscle and toe to toe The fear has gripped me, but here I go My heart sinks as I jump up Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut [Verse 3] She may contain the urge to run away But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks Germolene, disinfect the scene, my love, my love, love, love Please don't go, I love you so, my lovely [Refrain] Please don't go, please don't go I love you so, I love you so Please don't go, please don't go I love you so, I love you so Please break my heart (Hey!)
