From the album ‘Learning To Be Human‘ (1994).
Your laughter touches me
An edge of cruelty
Which cuts me silver to my quick
I harbour angry thoughts
They sway like yachts
Upon a tide, I swim inside
Taunt and flout me, wrap yourself about me
Suck me till I’m thin and dry
I will always be your poison boyfriend
Bottled till the day I die
I weep an endless while
My tears are crocodile and salt
They are your fault
At your command I clown
Juggle with gourds and sound
My scarlet violin
Each day I say I will leave for good
But in my heart of hearts I know
I will always be your poison boyfriend
Curdled through and through my soul
Flat and handsome, forever held to ransom
Taste my kisses, smooth and cold
I will always be your poison boyfriend
Mercury is weak for gold
