The Warmest Room Lyrics - Billy Bragg

A rainy afternoon 

Spent in the warmest room 

She lay before me and said 

Yes it's true that I have seen some naked men 

As she made for the door 

Leaving me on the floor 

I wish I'd done biology 

For an urge within me wanted to do it then 

And here she comes again 

And I'm sitting on my hands 

And she sings to me that siren song 

Here she comes again and I'm biting my lip 

But it won't be long 

As Brother Barry said 

As he married Marion 

The wife has three great attributes 

Intelligence, a Swiss army knife and charm 

But that's not enough sometimes 

And she did speak her mind 

And told them all that she believed 

The only way to disarm is to disarm 

I know people whose idea of fun 

Is throwing stones in the river in the afternoon sun 

Oh let me be as free as them 

Don't let her pass this way again 

Though you cannot be blamed 

But I've become inflamed 

With thoughts of lust and thoughts of power 

Thoughts of love and thoughts of Chairman Mao 

We have such little time 

At your place or mine 

I can't wait till we take our blood tests 

Oh baby let's take our blood tests now
