Holy, Holy

From October 4th 2024 album 'The New Sound'. Geordie Greep's of the band Black Midi first solo effort. Recorded in London and São Paulo, and he says that it represents “the first time I have had no one to answer to.”

[Verse 1] I could tell you were lonely From the moment you walked in From the way you had your makeup on From the way you'd done your hair From the way you sat down next to me From the way you ordered your drink From the moment you put your hand on my knee I knew I'd have you with ease Do you come here often? Do you know how this thing works? Do you go to bed with a different man every night? Don't tell me, I'm the first? [Chorus] You must have heard about me Everyone knows my name Everyone knows I'm holy Holy, holy, holy, holy All the revolutionaries (Holy, holy) All the Jihadis too (Holy, holy) 'Round the world, I'm holy (Holy, holy) [Post-Chorus] Holy, holy, holy, holy Holy, holy, holy, holy Holy, holy, holy, holy Holy, holy [Verse 2] Do you know my name? Of course, you know my name Everyone does, it's true It's true, it's true, it's true That I'm known around here The barmaids know my name I've had them all before You are new, I'll have you too It's time to give in From the shores of Havana To Moscow and Tokyo In French Guyanese, in Cantonese Everyone knows my name [Chorus] Holy All the revolutionaries (Holy, holy) All the Jihadis too (Holy, holy) Everyone knows I'm holy (Holy, holy) How 'bout we dance some salsa? (Holy, holy) I'll spin you round and round (Holy, holy) On the dance floor, I'm holy (Holy, holy) How 'bout we take this further? (Holy, holy) I'll meet you in the bathroom (Holy, holy) I'll bet your pussy is holy too [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] I'll arrive at around 7pm And I want you to get there no later than 10 I want you to be dressed like a sophisticated tart With too much makeup on, will that be alright? And I want you to sit down next to me, as if by chance I want it to seem like we've never met before How much will that cost? I want you to look unsure of yourself And I want you to look at me as if I'm attractive I want your eyes to say, "Take me" And I want your lips to be unimpressed And I want you to ask the waiter if I really am who I say I am And I want you to blush I want you to shoot a smug look at the other girls To make them jealous I chose you When I tell you your pussy is holy I want you to slap me and then kiss me Make sure everyone's watching, kiss me and then walk away Walk to the bathroom, I'll follow after Don't worry, we won't do anything We'll just loiter there fifteen minutes or so Then I'll choose your new lipstick and we'll walk back out And I want you to tell me I'm a perfect dancer And I want you to tell me I smell great I want you to make me look taller Could you kneel down the whole time? How much will that cost? I want you to put your hand on my knee Will that be alright? I want you to look at me as if you're lost How much will that cost? [Outro] Thank you so much We'll meet the same time next week And the next week after that too And the next week after that And the next month, and the next...
