GUITAR 1 (rhythm guitar):

Verse 1:
This is a love song, real love
Dirty rip out the whole of your soul love
I'll hate myself for days love
Sitting all alone and listening to Nick Cave love

This is a dark song, real dark
Feral tear off your skin to the bone dark
I'll drink myself to death dark
Do anything to feel your breath on my neck dark
