Tattoo Songtext
von The Beautiful South

Sadness has filled a lonely place
Before that, there was just a hole
At least now, the sadness on my face
My lower lip has finally found its role
So the wind and the rain and the snow
Had no particular place to go
So they thought they′d come and spend some time with me
They're better friends than you could ever be

There′s a tattoo
A small tattoo
Waiting there unpaid for you
And if you ever bump into unlucky
Don't forget who broke your heart in two
You better get there early
There's a million in the queue
Just waiting for the name on their tattoo


Emptiness has filled a vacant heart
I finally found a place for it to haunt
And as I wander like a fool from bar to bar
Empty has become my great escape
And the tears and the pain and the despised
Looked at me through bankrupt eyes
They had nowhere else that they could land
So I invited them to take my bloody hand

There′s a tattoo
A small tattoo
Waiting there unpaid for you
And if you ever bump into unlucky
Don′t forget who broke your heart in two
You better get there early
There's a million in the queue
Just waiting for the name on their tattoo


So I′m queuing for a tattoo
And I can't decide the name
I′ve been wondering night after night
When they put that needle in me
I'll scream your name in pain
And I hope it spells you bastard right
B-A-S-T-A-R-D
Stick that needle deep in me
B-A-S-T-A-R-D
Stick that needle deep in me
In me
In me
In me
Stick that needle deep in me
