The Ballad Of Tom Jones (Feat. Cerys Matthews)

Tommy - What did I do wrong?

Cerys - Oh you nearly drove me cuckoo

Tommy - Am I really all that bad?

Cerys - You're worse than Hannibal Lector, Charlie Manson, Freddie Kruger

Tommy - Why are we still together?

Cerys - Oh I can't leave you till you're dead

Tommy - You mean "Till death do us part"?

Cerys - I mean like cyanide, strangulation, or an axe through your head

Tommy - It was luscky for us I turned the radio on

Cerys - They say that music soothes the savage beast

Tommy - There was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red

Cerys - The two of us would surely have ended up dead

TOGETHER

You stopped us from killing eachother (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)

You'll never know but you saved our lives (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)

Cerys - I've never thrown my knickers at you!

Tommy - And I don't come from Wales!

Tommy - Still haven't solved our problems

Cerys - You mean we hate eachother's guts

Tommy - Still wanna poison your pizza

Cerys - And I still wanna cut off your nuts

Tommy - I phoned the marriage guidance

Cerys - I tied the phoneline round your neck

Tommy - I'm sick of all this hatred

Cerys - Oh that'll be the arsenic making you sick

Tommy - You were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff

Cerys - As I tried to jump out I knocked the stereo on

Tommy - You changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes

TOGETHER - It was lucky for us we bought his greatest hits

TOGETHER

You stopped us from killing eachother (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)

You'll never know but you saved our lives (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)

Cerys - I've never thrown my knickers at you!

Tommy - And I don't come from Wales!

Tommy - And now our war is over

Cerys - Ive lost the urge to break your neck

Tommy - I owe my life to "What's New Pussy Cat?"

Cerys - Delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you dead

Oh I used to call you satan

Tommy - And you were Cruelle De Ville

Cerys - But now you call me your Delilah

Tommy - And I am not your Lucifer

Cerys - And I am just a pussy cat

Tommy - But just a word of warning now

Cerys - Just in case we ever get tired of his voice

Tommy - I know the mafia, Godzilla, king kong

Cerys - And I know an atom bomb that's going for a song!

TOGETHER

You stopped us from killing eachother (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)

You'll never know but you saved our lives (Tom Jones, Tom Jones)

Cerys - I've never thrown my knickers at you!

Tommy - And I don't come from Wales!
