  • I've never been so scorned
    To find your kindness didn't last
    Beyond a fry-up and my spit upon your sheets
    And if I'd asked for how you'd answered
    I'd have gone and seen my father down at Brompton's cemetery
    I hope your back is healing from that brutal flaying
    And your coat's still stained with me
    Wear it with my pride pinned to the lapel
    God knows I left him by mistake
    God knows I left him by mistake

    Good morning, good looking
    This is the killer speaking
    Good morning, handsome
    This is the killer on the line

    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Here comes the killer (here comes the killer)
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Here comes your girl (here comes your girl)
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Here comes the killer (here comes the killer)
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-oh-oh
    Here comes your girl

    If only you'd been honest, could have spared this bloodshed
    Now I'm wanted 'cross several county lines
    When your hand is bigger than my heart
    You can crush it, just the way I like
    You got a whole lotta' nerve and a whole lotta' spite
    When you leave, don't look me in the eye
    When you leave, don't look me in the eye

    Good morning, good looking
    This is the killer speaking
    Good morning, angel
    This is the killer on the line

    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Here comes the killer (here comes the killer)
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Here comes your girl (here comes your girl)
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Here comes the killer (here comes the killer)
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Here comes your girl

    And I'm down so bad
    And I'm doing time
    You look like a weeping saint
    With your infected eye
    I'm doing time
    And I'm down so bad
    Hope my television appearance drives you fucking mad

    Oh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Here comes the killer (here comes the killer)
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Here comes your girl (here comes your girl)
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Here comes the killer (here comes the killer)
    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Oh-oh-oh
    Here comes your girl

    Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
    Oh-oh-oh
    Here comes your girl Writer/s: Abigail Morris, Aurora Nishevci, Casper Miles, Emily Roberts, Georgia Davies, James Ford, Lizzie Mayland
