Lush - The Childcatcher Lyrics
baby, he says, you are like the clean white page and I the pen.The innocence I find between your girlish thighs is likeThe fountain of youth to my old bones.And she replies, daddys little girls a precocious childI love to please, Ill do anything that you ask of meEager to fulfill all of daddys needs.baby, he says, i can never love older girls like I love you.Youre easier to please and you never give me griefcause you accept everything I say and do.And she replies, Im in no position to make demands.I have no past, no one else has done to me what you do.Ive got no one else to compare you to.and as you grow olderTry to look sixteen all your life,Old women grow bitterDont let that happen to you.and why is it charming,Pretending Im younger than my years?Why cant I grow up with dignitySet me free?baby, he says, now that youre older I feel our love has died.Once upon a time you never criticised me.Oh, I much preferred you as a child.And I reply, everything you said to me was a lie.I know your kind, you just want a daughter without the wife.You dont need a girlfriend you need a life.
