Hard On For Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It is for she that the cherry bleeds
That the moon is steeped in milk and blood
That I steal like a robber
From her altar of love
O money lender!
O cloven gender!
I am the fiend hid in her skirts
And it's as hot as hell in here
Coming at her as I am from above

[Chorus]
Hard on for love, hard on for love
Hard on for love, hard on for love

[Verse 2]
Well, I swear I seen that girl before
Like she walked straight outta the book of Leviticus
But they can stone me with stones I don't care
Just as long as I can get to kiss
Those gypsy lips! Gypsy lips!
My aim is to hit this Miss
And I'm moving in (I'm moving in)
Coming at her like Lazarus from above

[Chorus]
Yeah, hard on for love, hard on for love
Hard on for love, hard on for love

[Verse 3]
The Lord is my Shepard I shall not want
The Lord is my Shepard I shall not want
But he leadeth me like a lamb to the lips
Of the mouth of the valley of the shadow of death
I am his rod and his staff
I am his sceptre and shaft
And she is heaven and hell
At whose gates I ain't been delivered
I'm gonna give the gates a shove
Hard on for love, hard on for love
Hard on for love, hard on for love

[Verse 4]
And her breasts rise and fall
Breast rise and fall
Breast rise and fall
Breast rise and fall
Breast rise and fall
Breast rise and fall
Breast rise and fall
Breast rise and fall
And just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
You are beautiful! O dove!

[Chorus]
Hard on for love, hard on for love
Hard on for love, hard on for love
Hard on for love, hard on for love
Hard on for love, hard on for love
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Her breasts rise and fall
Hard on for love, hard on for love
Hard on for love, hard on for love
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her
Just when I'm about to get my hands on her

Leviticus is a book in the Bible focused on Laws. As such, Cave is probably referring to a Prostitute. Or it could be referring to Leviticus 27 where women are considered inferior to men because of their menstrual cycle. Hence the earlier “oh cloven gender”, Leviticus refers to them as “unclean”.
