Tension from RAGE by Lost Cherrees

Tension

Go to the kitchen for a knife
Ain’t no way to treat a wife
The tension - cuts through

Domestic bliss? Don’t take the piss
Staring through a blood-red mist
The tension - cut’s through

Where did ya go? who were ya with?
Why should I ever of put up with this?
Answer ya phone, were you alone?
Forgive my failing to judge your tone
Call yourself a wife? Just a little slag
Your stuff’s by the door in an old bin bag
But things…… can turn

Rummage my bag, cut up my cards
Why should life ever be this hard?
The tension - cuts through

Search my texts and find fuck-all
Smash my phone against the wall
The tension - cuts through

Where did ya go? Who were you with?
Why should I have to deal with this?
Answer your phone, were you alone?
Forgive my failing to judge your tone
Call yourself a wife? Just a little slag
Your stuff’s by the door in an old bin bag
But people…… can turn

Shove me up against the wall
Grab my throat to end it all
The tension - cut’s through

Last act of a wasted life
Cos I beat you to the kitchen knife
Cold steel - cuts through

Where did I go? Who was I with?
Never ever ever gonna deal with this
Call yourself a man? I call myself free
If you’d been quicker it woulda been me
I’m nobody’s wife, nobody’s slag
They dragged you off in a body bag

Cos knives…… can turn
