Nina Hynes – Under my wing

( Nina Hynes on Hector Zazou – Strong currents LP – 2004 )

Chocolate kings lie under my feet

Waiting to be

Devoured by me

Devoured by me

You promised me delivery

You’re just using me

Here’s a knife

Go on make me bleed

Go on make me bleed

Under my wing

Under my wing

Ladders in your tights

Strange faces in the night

On the street

No one knows you.

You can be anyone

Just chose

Oh my sweet

Come here my darling.

Must be cold where you’re coming from

‘Cause your clothes are wrapped so tightly,

Makes me want to tear them from you

No camouflage, bare the big blue

I’ll caress your ear

Run my fingers through your hair

Like your mother would

Like your mother would

Oh my sweet

Come here my darling

Let me caress your ear

If you play dead

Maybe then

You won’t have to feel, have to feel.

Oh my sweet

Come here my darling

I’ll take you in

I’ll mind you under my wing

Under my wing, under my wing

Under my wing, under my wing
