Lyrics

Good Samaritan

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The sun shone through the window as I lay down on your carpet

Staring at the speakers - pretending to be tortured

And I never moved a muscle

No, I never moved a muscle

The sunlight turned to shadows, and the minutes turned to hours

Somebody turned the lights on, there was conversation, laughter

And you know just what I'm after - you know just what I'm after

You will look at me, and your curiosity is gonna get the better of you, will get the better of you

Standing next to me now - she's in the air I breathe

She says, "I'm marrying a rich man but he still thinks I'm a virgin

So I need a little action, I need a little fun

I need a good Samaritan, good Samaritan, good Samaritan, good Samaritan"

We raged around our cages until all the doors lay open

Then we fell upon each other in the fury and the frenzy

And we fought like Gods of Thunder - and we played like fives 'n under

And the only screams that mattered turn to whispers in my ear

You're my good Samaritan, you're my good Samaritan, you're my good Samaritan, you're my good Samaritan

Walking down the street - they make such a lovely couple

And she freezes when she sees me - but she don't have to worry

Cos I needed something deeper - I needed something longer

She said, "People who are weaker, need people who are stronger"

And I don't know what possessed you, was I just a one night stand

And not your good Samaritan, good Samaritan, good Samaritan, good Samaritan.
