9-9 / Hey Diddle Diddle / Feeling Gravity’s Pull - Live From Rock City, Nottingham / 1984 Lyrics

[Intro]
Steady repetition is a compulsion mutually reinforced
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much
Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord to hesitate

[Verse 1]
Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Got a stripe
Down his back
All nine yards
Down her back
