fear & delight

Singer:correspondents, the

oh but i know you'll cause me grief

close friends of mine are in disbelief

as they can see what's underneath

fluttering lashes

red lips

and pearly white teeth

i don't show it but i quiver whenever you come near

and i cannot decipher between the thrill and the fear

i want to stop but i like it too much to let it stop here

it's wrong but i want you tonight

it was not my own volition but i fell in deep

by running the distance i'd been advised to keep

i trot to the wolf as a doting sheep

it's wrong but i want you tonight

fear and delight

all the way through the night

with a little derring-do i'll fall in love with you

fear and delight

all the way through the night

with a little derring-do i'll fall in love with you

i'm a little boy who's going to be getting his fingers burnt

but i can see the lesson's gotta gotta gotta be learnt

they say that boys have been destroyed but they weren't

it's wrong but i want you tonight

in any case my friends it's too late

like a moth to light

like a beast to bait

and i know the black widow eats its mate

it's wrong but i want you tonight

fear and delight

all the way through the night

with a little derring-do i'll fall in love with you

fear and delight

all the way through the night

with a little derring-do i'll fall in love with you

i'm an innocent being seduced by your charms

i'm a young boy tickled to death in your arms

your kisses taste like bitter almonds

it's wrong but i want you tonight

you're an addiction pulling me to a grave end

you're an enemy who i'm keen to defend

down the black hole of my lust i descend

it's wrong but i want you tonight

it's wrong but i want you tonight

it's wrong but i want you tonight

it's wrong but i want you tonight

it's wrong but i want you tonight

it's wrong but i want you tonight

it's wrong but i want you tonight

it's wrong but i want you tonight

fear and delight

all the way through the night

with a little derring-do i'll fall in love with you

why is that i'm keen to be devoured by you

when there's the option of a love affair that's pure and true?

i always choose the dungeon over the sea view

it's wrong but i want you tonight

when i'm out the other side i say never again

but when i'm out and about i want to find the next vixen

someone who'll be sure to drive me round the bend

it's wrong but i want you tonight

fear and delight

all the way through the night

with a little derring-do i'll fall in love with you

fear and delight

all the way through the night

with a little derring-do i'll fall in love with you
