Richard Thompson - She Twists The Knife Again Lyrics
I keep my nose clean, I keep my speech plainI keep my promises, she twists the knife againI shut my memory, I close my eyes and thenShe takes another bite, she twists the knife againShe never leaves me my dignityMakes a dunce of me in mixed companyNo bygone can be a bygoneShe throws the spanner in, she puts the screws onIn the middle of a kiss, she twists the knife againWhen I get up off my knees, she twists the knife againWhen I think I'm off the hook she gets meShe twists the knife again, she twists the knife againI make my moves well, I let her tell me whenI walk a fine line, she twists the knife againJust when the scar heals, just when the grip unbendsJust when her mind reels, she twists the knife againShe can give it out, she can't take itShe smells something bad, she has to rake itI bring home my packet, my white-collar moneyI'm in a fist fight, she thinks she's Gene TunneyIn the middle of a kiss, she twists the knife againWhen I get up off my knees, she twists the knife againWhen I think I'm off the hook she gets meShe twists the knife again, she twists the knife againShe never leaves me my dignityMakes a dunce of me in mixed companyNo bygone can be a bygoneShe throws the spanner in, she puts the screws onIn the middle of a kiss, she twists the knife againWhen I get up off my knees, she twists the knife againWhen I think I'm off the hook she gets meShe twists the knife again, she twists the knife againShe twists the knife again
