about

This song might be considered LOVE LOVE'S flagship song. It represents one half of the band's overall thematic concern: murderous passion. There is a video of the song, shot in Q-Division Studios, Somerville, MA

lyrics

She fed him poison just like water
Then buried him in just his shoes
Lye-berry cakes made to order
Ground poisoned mushrooms in his stew

Sweet cake Marie the queen
The poison heiress
She should have paid the price
A long time ago

So they prayed the devil back to hell
Never served time never saw a prison cell
They prayed the devil back to hell

Angelita of Barcelona
rescued alive from a witches lair
told tales of ten young girls before her
made into potions sold at the fair

She led a double life that Senorita
she should have paid the price
a long time ago


Mary Bell and her friend Nora
(her friend Nora Bell)
wrote on a wall “we will murder you”
(we will murder you)
wanted to know how it felt to murder
by age ten that’s just what they’d do

Two young boys were found
dead in their nursery
those girls had carved their names
right on the nursery wall
