lyrics

Throw me
© Penelope Swales 1989

Oooh…
Throw me a bone, I’m a hungry dog
Throw me a straw I’m drowning
In love for you, in cheap desire
Throw me a smile while you’re frowning
Throw me a hope, I’m in despair
Throw me a chance perhaps you care
Suddenly I’m everywhere
My plans are all up in the air
Throw me

You can throw me any way you like
Throw me any way you please
I hate the way my love for you
Just brings me to my knees

Just as well my head ain’t flat
Coz you don’t drink no beer
Just as well that you don’t think
I should have handles for my ears

but you’re not that kind of guy
You’re such a nice boy
Well baby, I don’t want to want
No more illegal joy

You throw me so much
You throw me so far
Won’t you throw me on the ground
And roll me – hard!
Throw me

You throw me around when we’re playing games
You threw me away when the complications came
Throw me out of house and home
I know I’ve got to leave
Would you throw me into deadlock
If I dared to believe
I’d throw away my life
I’d even throw away my love
Even throw away my guitar
Just to fit you like a glove

Oh, let’s try again and get it right
Let’s try again and get it right
Let’s try again and get it right
Let’s try again and get it right
