The Triffids
"Love And Affection"

Sweet, sweet love and affection
Aiming for my protection
Sweet, sweet hail and devotion
Pointed by my emotion
I called you by your name
I called you by your name

Like a baby crying for the milk of its mother
Like a Junkman scratching on a vial of ether
I'm hearing Mary's voices in the middle of night
She said, "Come home soon, darling. You just hold tight."

Lazy ocean hugs the shore
Caterpillar eats the rose
No exception to this law;
Circle drawing to a close--

Sweet, sweet love and affection
Aiming for my protection
Sweet, sweet hail and devotion
Pointed by my emotion
I called you by your name
I called you by your name
And I called you by your name.
And I called you by your name.
