  t-what did i do wrong?
  c-oh, you nearly drove me cuckoo
  t-am i really all that bad?
  c-you're worse than hannibal lecter, charlie manson, freddy krueger
  
  t-why are we still together?
  c-oh, i can’t leave you till you’re dead
  t-you mean till death do us part
  c-i mean like cyanide strangulation or an axe through your head
  
  t-it was lucky for us i turned the radio on
  c-they say that music soothes the savage beast
  t-there was something in that voice that stopped us seeing red
  the two of us would surely have ended up dead
  
  you stopped us from killing each other
  (tom jones, tom jones)
  you’ll never know but you saved our lives
  (tom jones, tom jones)
  c-i’ve never thrown my knickers at you
  t-and i don’t come from wales
  
  t-still haven’t solved our problem
  c-you mean we hate each others guts
  t-still wanna poison your pizza
  c-and i still wanna cut off your nuts
  
  t-i’ve phoned the marriage guidance
  c-i tied the phone line round your neck
  t-i’m sick of all this hatred
  c-oh, that’ll be the arsenic making you sick
  
  t-you were about to drive me over the edge of a cliff
  c-as i tried to jump out i knocked the stereo on
  t-you changed your mind and then slammed on the brakes
  it was lucky for us we’d brought his greatest hits
  
  you stopped us from killing each other
  (tom jones, tom jones)
  you’ll never know but you saved our lives
  (tom jones, tom jones)
  c-i’ve never thrown my knickers at you
  t-and i don’t come from wales
  
  c-and now our war is over
  t-i’ve lost the urge to break your neck
  c-i owe my life to what s new pussycat
  t-delilah stopped me hating you and wishing you dead
  
  c-oh, i used to call you satan
  t-and you were cruella de vil
  t-and now i’m not your lucifer
  c-i am just your pussycat
  
  t-but just a word of warning now
  c-just in case we ever get tired of his voice
  t-i know the mafia, godzilla, king kong
  c-and i know an atom bomb that’s going for a song
  
  you stopped us from killing each other
  (tom jones, tom jones)
  you’ll never know but you saved our lives
  (tom jones, tom jones)
  c-i’ve never thrown my knickers at you
  t-and i don’t come from wales

• derin ironiler barindiran bir parcadir. ben kendimi bildim bileli , tom jones dinledigimde olmek isterim , bu adamlar ise tom jones un hayat kurtaran bir insan oldugundan bahsediyorlar, yok efendim , baska birseyler var bu isin icinde. ama harika parcadir , hakkini yememek lazim
• "space bu işi biliyor." dediğim şarkılardan biri. bir kadın vokalin, böyle bir gruba neler katabileceğinin de yegâne ispatı.
