Fear & Delight Lyrics - Puppet Loosely Strung - The Correspondents

Oh, but I know you'll cause me grief 

Close friends of mine are in disbelief 

As they can see what's underneath 

Fluttering lashes red lips and pearly white teeth... 

I don't show it but I quiver whenever you come near 

and I cannot decipher between the thrill and the fear, 

I want to stop but I like it too much to let it stop here, 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

It was not my own volition but I fell in deep 

by running the distance I'd been advised to keep 

I trot to the wolf as a doting sheep 

it's wrong but I want you tonight 

Fear and delight, 

all the way through the night 

with a little daring do I'll fall in love with you 

Fear and delight, 

all the way through the night 

with a little daring do I'll fall in love with you 

I'm a little boy who's going to be getting his fingers burnt 

but I can see the lesson's gotta, gotta, gotta be learnt 

they say that boys have been destroyed but they weren't 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

In any case my friends it's too late 

like a moth to light like a beast to bait 

and I know the black widow eats it's mate 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

Fear and delight, 

all the way through the night 

with a little daring do I'll fall in love with you 

Fear and delight, 

all the way through the night 

with a little daring do I'll fall in love with you 

I'm an innocent being seduced by your charms 

I'm a young boy tickled to death in your arms 

Your kisses taste like bitter almonds 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

You're an addiction pulling me to a grave end 

You're an enemy who I'm keen to defend 

Down the black hole of my lust I descend 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

(It's wrong but I want you tonight 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

It's wrong but I want you tonight) 

Fear and delight, 

all the way through the night 

with a little daring do I'll fall in love with you 

Why is that I'm keen to be devoured by you 

when there's the option of a love affair that's pure and true? 

I always choose the dungeon over the sea view, 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

When I'm out the other side I say never again 

but when I'm out and about I want to find the next vixen 

Someone who'll be sure to drive me round the bend 

It's wrong but I want you tonight 

Fear and delight, 

all the way through the night 

with a little daring do I'll fall in love with you 

Fear and delight, 

all the way through the night 

with a little daring do I'll fall in love with you
