Poison Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're scared of snakes
I'm scared of you 'cause you've got poison
Like them, too
You shed on me
I pick it up
And all I do is clean up after you
[Chorus]
The poison, you say you got it from your mother
The poison, there isn't anyone else to blame
[Post-Chorus]
Ba-da-da-da-da-dum
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Ba-da-da-da-da-dum
[Verse 2]
I caught you once
You tried to bite, you tried to scream
Maybe the poison is floating in my genes
[Chorus]
The poison, you say you got it from some others
The poison, there isn't anyone else to blame
[Post-Chorus]
Ba-da-da-da-da-dum
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Ba-da-da-da-da-dum
[Verse 3]
You need to learn
To sweep up your tracks
'Cause if you don't
Well, it's gonna get you back
It's gonna get you back
It's gonna get you back
[Chorus]
The poison, you didn't get it from your mother
The poison, there isn't anyone else to blame
[Post-Chorus]
Ba-da-da-da-da-dum
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Ba-da-da-da-da-dum
I don't want your poison
[Outro]
Ba-da-da-da-da-dum
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Ba-da-da-da-da-dum
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-dum
Ba-da-da-da-da-dum
I don't want your poison

What did Joy Crookes say about "Poison"?
I wrote ‘Poison’ when I was 15. I was very angry—I think it was the angriest I’d been in a very long time and one of the most angry points in my life. I had bought The Clash’s box set, and there was a blank notebook in it that said ‘The future is unwritten’ on the cover. One of the lines I wrote in...
What have the artists said about the song?
I think the thing in that song is, it’s kind of like fear I’m going to turn into a family member I don’t like at the time. You know when you have a huge fight with like an uncle, and then you’re like “oh shit, I might like that uncle… Am I gonna be like that? Am I doing the same thing because we’re...
