The Beautiful South - Tattoo lyrics
(Heaton/Rotheray)
 Sadness has filled a lonely place 
 Before that there was just a hole 
 At least now there's sadness on my face 
 My lower lip has finally found it's role 
 So the wind and the rain and the snow 
 Had no particular place to go 
 So they thought they'd come and spend some time with me 
 They're better friends than you could ever be 
 Chorus: 
 There's a tattoo, a small tattoo 
 Waiting there unpaid for you 
 And if you ever bump into Unlucky 
 Don't forget who broke your heart in two 
 You better get there early, there's a million in the queue 
 Just waiting for the name on their tattoo The Beautiful South - Tattoo - http://motolyrics.com/the-beautiful-south/tattoo-lyrics.html
 Emptiness has filled a vacant heart 
 Finally found a place for it to hide 
 And as I wander like a fool from bar to bar 
 Empty has become my greatest guide 
 And the tears and the pain and the despise 
 Looked at me through bankrupt eyes 
 They had nowhere else that they could land 
 So I invited them to take my bloody hand 
 Chorus: 
 So queuing for a tattoo and I can't decide the name 
 I've been wondering night after night 
 When they put that needle in me I'll scream your name in pain 
 And I hope he spells 'you bastard' right 
B-A-S-T-A-R-D, stick that needle deep in me
