I Know Which Blues

25 Feb 2002

Title by Josh Gardner

I wish you would tie me up and throw me on the tracks
I wish you’d watch that train bear down I wish that you would laugh
I wish you’d sew me in a bag and weigh it down with stones
I wish you’d watch me from the deck as I dine with Davey Jones

Why don't you go on and break me this time
I am not deaf I am not blind
Why don't you go on and kill me this time
I will not grumble I will not mind

I wish that you would blindfold me and fill me full of lead
I wish you’d call down vengeance and dance for my head
I wish that you would tie the noose I wish you’d drop the door
And as I swing there writhing tell me you’re really bored

CHORUS

I wish that you would sit me down and strap me to that chair
I wish that you would pull the switch and tell me go to hell
I wish you’d run me over then say I’m in a rut
I wish you would disembowel me then say I have no guts

CHORUS

I wish you’d be impossible I wish you’d talk too much
I wish you’d be demanding that you’d say I’ve lost my touch
I wish that you would lie I wish that you would cheat
I would say love or leave but I know which it would be

CHORUS
G/Am
