Ten Tonne Skeleton Lyrics

She took my heart, left me for dead
And drank my blood, told me she said
Our secrets worth its weight in gold
That fire we had, those two we cold

Cut loose like an animal
Fired out like a cannon ball
But I waited too long
Yeah, I waited too long
Got me high from a holy vein
Crashed down in a hurricane
Love has been here and gone
Love has been here and gone

Where did you go?
Where did you run?
I can't erase what you've done
Let's burn the past, forget the truth
I'm still more than him, I'm still loving you

Cut loose like an animal
Fired out like a cannon ball
But I waited too long
Yeah, I waited too long
Got me high from a holy vein
Crashed down in a hurricane
Love has been here and gone
Love has been here and gone

Cut loose like an animal
Fired out like a cannon ball
But I waited too long
Yeah, I waited too long
Got me high from a holy vein
Crashed down in a hurricane
Love has been here and gone
Love has been here and gone

But I waited too long
For you only
Love has been here and gone
To die slowly
Going under again
So don't follow me

Ten Tonne Skeleton Song Chart

This was the hardest track on the Royal Blood album to record. Vocalist and guitarist Mike Kerr told HMV.com : "We re-wrote it and re-recorded it three times, it's the only track on the album that was difficult to get right. There are so many versions of it, but it didn't click until the last time."

Mike Kerr came up with the chorus/guitar part when drummer Ben Thatcher popped out of the studio to go to the toilet. He told Drowned in Sound : "While he was gone, I worked out a really funny solo for the song and then that turned into the whole chorus part."

Mike Kerr had the words for this quite a while before the pair came up with the the music. He told Artist Direct : "Before it was even a song, I wrote all of the lyrics down. It was quite fortunate I was able to make a song out of that. It's less cryptic of a tune. It's really about being too late for something."
