Appearing on the 1985 demo tape of the short-lived Pagan Babies, the chorus of and title of this song would go on to be used in band member Courtney Love’s future band Hole as a b-side to the Celebrity Skin single. It also appears on Hole’s 1991 album Pretty On The Inside as the chorus is sampled in...
[Verse 1]
Terrified of the corruption
Hear the thump of every breath
I'm going to, I'm going to
I'm going to live through this
I'm sleeping in the river
Drowning in this fatal moon
I walk into all your motives
See my world is getting cruel
[Pre-Chorus]
We will be perfect again
If it's the last thing we ever do
Still I'm on your side (on your side)
Still I'm on your side (on your side)
I will be perfect again
[Chorus]
Put on my best Sunday dress
And I walk straight into this mess of mine
And I put on my best Sunday dress
And I walk straight into this mess of mine
[Verse 2]
Terrified of the corruption
So afraid of the disease
Look at you and your innocence
You're me with my baby
No more that you come, your friend
No more seizures by the sea
I walk this plank like a lullaby
And no one throws rocks at me
[Pre-Chorus]
And no one throws rocks at me
You can have your pound of flesh
Just-just-justify it
[Chorus]
Put on my best Sunday dress
And I walk straight into this mess of mine
And I put on my best Sunday dress
And I walk straight into this mess of mine
And I put on my best Sunday dress
And I walk straight into this mess of mine
And I put on my best Sunday dress
