Love hurts good on a bed of nails
I'll lay you down and when all else fails
I'll drive you like a hammer on a bed of nails"
It's as if Alice gave a notebook to a 14 year old metalhead in 1989 and said 'write me a song'!

I wrote those exact lyrics on the cover of a school book (one we were allowed to write on) and got an absolute roasting off one teacher due to the crudeness.
