every day a little death - diana rigg lyrics

every day a little death
in the parlor, in the bed
in the curtains, in the silver
in the b-ttons, in the bread

every day a little sting
in the heart and in the head
every move and every breath
and you hardly feel a thing
brings a perfect little death

give the lap dog a command and she crawls for him
for a little understanding: she is old
see her beg for her reward
is her master getting bored?

love’s a miserable business mind the road
she waits patiently for days in the hall for him
with the memory of his praises in her ear
and then, only to be told that the coffee is getting cold
it’s a nauseating business, oh we’re here! oh, well

[interlude conversation]
– lemonade, charlotte?
– lemonade!? to choke me!?

every day a little death
on the lips and in the eyes
in the murmurs, in the gestures
in the pauses, in the [sighs/thighs]

every day a little sting
in the looks and in the lies
every move and every breath
and you hardly feel a thing
brings a perfect little death

he smiles sweetly
strokes my hair, says he misses me
i would murder him right there
but first i die
he talks softly of his wars
and his horses and his wh0r-s
i think love’s a dirty business
(so do i, so do i)
i’m before him on my knees
and he kisses me
he -ssumes i’ll lose my reason
and i do
men are stupid, men are vain
love’s disgusting, love’s insane
a humiliating business
(oh, how true)
ah, well, everyday a little death
(everyday a little death)
in the parlor, in the bed
(on the lips and in the eyes)
in the curtains, in the silver
in the b-ttons, in the bread
(in the murmurs in the breath)
(in the gestures, in the sighs)
every day a little sting
(every day a little dies)
in the heart and in the head
(in the looks and in the lies)
every move and every breath

[both]
and you hardly feel a thing
brings a perfect little death
