i want you

Angus & Julia Stone

The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophone says I should refuse ya
All the cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it s not the way
I wasn t born to lose ya

I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey, I want ya

The drunken politicians leap
Upon the street where mothers weep
And the saviours who are fast asleep
They wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt
Me drinkin from my broken cup
Ask me to open up the gate for you

I want you, I want you
I want you, so bad
Honey, I want you

Now all my fathers, they ve gone down
True love, they ve been without it
But all their daughters put me down
Cause I don t think about it

Well, I ll return to the Queen of Spades
Talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I m not afraid to look at her
She is no good to me
There s nothing that she doesn t see
She knows where I d like to be
But it doesn t matter

Cause I want you, I want you
I want you, so bad
Honey, I want you

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
Spoke to me, as I took his flute
I wasn t very cute to him, now was I?
But I did it though because he lied
And because he took you for a ride
Because the time was on his side
And because I

I want ya, I want you
I want you, so bad
Honey, I want you
