about

Recorded live at the Running Horse, Canning Circus, Nottingham.

lyrics

Heart-broke grin on the face of my lover
“30 weeks left if you wanna run for cover”
We must have pulled the pin one Saturday night
But how can something so small wreck your whole life?

Nothing ever stays the same
Didn't know how much you'd change me
You're the best mistake I ever made
My sweet baby hand grenade

Sweet baby hand grenade
Sweet baby hand grenade
Look at all the mess you made
My sweet baby hand grenade

My best friend said his wife is six months gone
Now her biological clock (tick tock!) - tickin' like a time bomb
She's calling last orders at the milky bar
Now it's time to show the world what kind of man you are 'cos

Nothing ever stays the same
You've no idea how much they change you
But the best mistake I ever made
Was my sweet baby hand grenade

Sweet baby hand grenade
Sweet baby hand grenade
Look at all the mess you made
My sweet baby hand grenade

Pretty little weapon of mass distraction
So cute I can't resist this tiny terrorist
Though we got no guarantees and no instructions
There's nothing I would trade for my sweet baby hand grenade

Sweet baby hand grenade
Sweet baby hand grenade
Look at all the mess you made
My sweet baby
Sweet baby hand grenade
You make me smile like an unexpected key change
Look at all the mess we made
My sweet baby hand grenade
