Executioner - Robyn Hitchcock

Don’t wait up any longer

I’m not coming home

You know you’re always stronger

When you’re on you’re own

You said the sweetest things

That’s what you said

Here’s a relationship

With a gun to its head

I’m the executioner of love

Our love has been found guilty

Our love is turning bad

Before I pass the sentence

Have you anything to add?

It wasn’t easy but

It wasn’t fun

But when you start these things

See what you’ve done

You’re the executioner of love

You’re the executioner

Your childhood is over

There’s nowhere you can hide

There’s nowhere you can hide

There’s nowhere you can hide

It crawls towards you bleeding

Begging for a kiss

Even if you don’t mean it

It’s only just a kiss

I know how Judas felt

But he got paid

I’m doing this for free

Just like Live Aid

I’m the executioner of love

I’m the executioner of love

I’m the executioner of love
