what the butler didn't see - lyrics by cold comfort wk043
VERSE 1:
In Hargrave House there was murder
vile and gruesome the crime was described
In Hargrave House there served a butler
A murderous type in looks,
but not in mind.
CHORUS:
What the butler didn't see
as he slept a drunken dream
put him in hell for life
trapped in a prison cell.
Forever locked
behind a maze of prison doors
What the butler didn't see
As he slept in drunken peace
was the key
to this bloody
murder
mystery.
V2:
In Hargrave House there was a master
who kept a lover, so it's said
In Hargrave House there was a mistress,
cold as ice, but now both are dead.
CHORUS: (see above)
What the butler didn't see
as he slept a drunken dream
put him in hell for life
trapped in a prison cell.
V3:
In Hargrave House, there was murder
2 people died that frightful night
In Hargrave house there served a butler
And a scrubbing maid
saved a frightful life
by a blissful drunken sleep
that dark and
frightful
night...
CHORUS: (see above)
What the butler didn't see
as he slept a drunken dream
put him in hell for life
trapped in a prison cell.

lyrics
Is this what I've been waiting for? by cold comfort
V1: (vamp)
Here it is,
it's 3AM
Here we are
Right at your door
a fumbled handshake
a kiss on the cheek
sweet anticipation
and nothing more
for me?
Poor old miserable?
heart on my sleeve?
I know you're convinced
of just what motivates me
tonight
and last night
and the night before that
back to January.
CHORUS:
No one walks anyone home any more
The deals are all made in advance
NO one walks anyone back to their door
but you insist, my old fashioned friend
V2 (vamp)
Show me the door
smile at the gate
The first train home
doesn't leave until 8.
(Instrumental solo)
CHORUS:
No one sleeps at train stations anymore
No one with lipstick on their cheek.
Sensible sleeping arangements are made in advance
But you insist my old fashioned well intentioned friend.
BRIDGE:
And if we were just hasty?
And if we eschewed (screwed) anticipation?
And the people at the station
didn't know me, by my first name?
And if we traded places
Would you have the patience
Would I be so sure
That you'd come back?
To re-enact
This scene we've played
207 times before?
Is that what I've waiting for?
V3: (vamp)
Here it is.
It's 2.15
Don't matter where we've been
or the movie we've just seen
because in between
The cafe and your door
I thought that I would
finally ask
that you let me in
because I wasn't sure
if that's just what
you
were waiting for.
CHORUS (altered, repeat and fade) :
And you were, my sweet lover, and you were
That's just what both of us were waiting for
For me to ask politely if you'd take me though your door
For you to say, of course, what the hell have you been waiting for...
And you were, my sweet lover, and you were
That's just what both of us were waiting for
For me to ask politely if you'd let me though your door
And even if you'd only let me sleep upon your floor
I'd be home, my sweet lover
I'd be home, finally
I'd be home and always with you
I'd be home
And you were, my sweet lover, and you were
That's just what both of us were waiting for
For me to ask politely if you'd take me though your door
For you to say, of course, what the hell have you been waiting for...
And you were, my sweet lover, and you were
That's just what both of us were waiting for
For me to ask politely if you'd let me though your door
And even if you'd only let me sleep upon your floor

take me to your leader by cold comfort
v1:
take me to your leader
make me kneel and beg
take me to your trailer
strap me to your bed
take me to your conscience
or did you lose the map?
I'm blind but not forsaken
I don't mind the crap
CHORUS:
take me, baby, take me,
take me to your leader
Don't wanna miss this moment
Steal it, Steal it, Steal it
Baby, take me.
v2:
take me to your honey pot
sweet and dripping wet
There's things I don't remember
And things I can't forget
take me your pimp
take me to your man
take me to your ATM
hold me by the hand
CHORUS:
take me, baby, take me,
take me to your leader
Don't wanna miss this moment
Steal it, Steal it, Steal it
Baby, take me.
BRIDGE (and solo) :
Take me, take me, take me, take me...
I want it, I want you, I want this,
Take me to your bed.
(marching)
I forget
I forgot
I forget
I forgot
I forget
I forgot
such a fool!
V1 (repeat)
CHORUS:
take me, baby, take me,
take me to your leader
Don't wanna miss this moment
Steal it, Steal it, Steal it
Baby, take me.
