Bad Books - Pyotr Lyrics






Bare breasted, you make love in the turret
I feel each single thrust that you take
In silence I watch on from the bastion
Entranced, I make myself look away

Bare breasted making love in the turret
I'll never love nobody other than you
And in silence I can feel as you quiver
Keep quiet or you know what he will do

I know I am not the man you desire
I know you think that I am some kind of fool
And I know you would gaze in his eyes forever
I've figured out just how to give that to you

Mm, mm

When he found us in the western wing sleeping
You cried at all the things you thought he would do
And I tell you in the heat of the scuffle
Nobody ever takes my eyes off of you

And oh Catherine, how you run me my fever
Oh Catherine, tell me was it worth it for him?
These gallows are no place for the stubborn
Just you and your lover as a dark souvenir

Mm, mm

She sees me on display inside the museum
Comes every morning and again when she can
Strokes her blistered hand across my glass container
Saying "It's so good to see you back here again."

Mm, mm

  1. F.... L....

    Could listen to Andy all day

  2. A.... E....

    I lost this... but just found it again and now my heart is happy again.lol xx This is beyond the term "epic". One of my favorite songs/stories out there. Thank you for this creativness.

    A.... E....

    That’s me, tonight. Someone mentioned that poetry doesn’t have to be long to be powerful. Just look at one of the most moving short stories ever written, it’s only got six words. “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” That brought me back round to Bad Books’ *Baby Shoes* and from that I finally made it back here. It’s been so long.

  3. M.... R....

    Instead of “its so good to see you back here again” basically validated his head being chopped off. It would be better with: “it’d be so good to have you back here again”

  4. U.... ....

    Love Andy Hull

  5. W.... A....

    holy shit i really cannot get enough of this song

  6. C.... C....

    I've been in love with this song for years, but having the song's background context.. wow. Even more powerful than before.

  7. M.... S....

    This makes me so sad, because they both sounded so in love with her.

  8. C.... S....

    One of my favorites, did a cover of it and I would love for anyone to check it out. (:

  9. S.... ....

    Don't really know how this can have any dislikes >.< soooo goooood

  10. d.... ....

    Can't Stop. Listening.

  11. N.... O....

    andy hull is absolutely amazing. ill do you all a favor. if you haven't heard him in right away great captain, and manchester orchestra then check him out. your welcome.

  12. m.... A....

    He sounds just as good live if not better.

  13. J.... S....

    This song is actually incredibly beautiful, regardless of the morbid humor.

  14. E.... W....

    Wow..... no words

  15. J.... G....

    One of my most favorite songs ever.

  16. B.... H....

    I love this song I have made tons of people hear it I show it to everyone. Its beautiful and morbid y'all are amazin'

  17. S.... E....

    what a beautiful song written about a weird, twisted event.

  18. S.... J....

    People should really look up this story. Turns out Pytor was cheated on his wife as well. Now I feel less sorry for the guy.

    S.... J....

    difference is he was a czar and well, she wasnt. unfair but true

    S.... J....

    As Czar he had that right. You here of kings who have multiple wives/lovers and it was accepted. Same concept.

    S.... J....

    The guy whose head he chopped off was the brother of his mistress, so there’s some fine irony for you.

  19. R.... C....

    Can't get enough of this song right now.

  20. t.... h....

    "I tell you in the heat of the scuffle, nobody ever takes my eyes off of you"

    t.... h....

    My favorite line 💔

  21. S.... W....

    @Cole Kiburz Neumann, probably KMS 105

  22. C.... H....

    Andy, you are weird. But I like it.

    C.... H....

    He did a shout out to me in this podcast.

    C.... H....

    Show me

    C.... H....

    Just saw your request for proof. It was a live podcast (obviously) and I sent in a question that he answered. He came to Akron and played the last RAGC album and I returned his Buxton hat. The agreement was that we would swap hats back the next time I was at his show. He didn't have the Cleveland C, so I asked when I am going to get my hat back. He said 'NEVER!' and then explained the scenario to KD in one of the QA sessions. I have scoured the YouTube breakups of that sessions and think it got chopped.

    C.... H....

    Found it. At 14:40-ish. http://new.livestream.com/livestreamsessions/badbooks

    C.... H....

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaand now I am re-watching the entire session, reaffirming my intense love for Andy Hull.

  23. C.... K....

    Does anyone know what kind of mic Andy is singing into?

    C.... K....

    Looks like a shure....but i'm not sure.

    C.... K....

    It's a Neumann KMS105

    C.... K....

    Thanks Jan, I never saw this comment till now, but I appreciate it :)

  24. X.... M....

    No kidding. RAGC captivates a lot of that, too. I need to stop eating out so much and start cooking on a dang stove.

  25. D.... H....

    the difference between some of the old MO videos to his more recent sessions with BB is crazy. he lost a whole lotta weight. bet he feels good for it.

  26. X.... M....

    Watch his nervous energies sessions. Looks pretty slim, and tidy in those.

  27. L.... ....

    Andy wearing Nike and somehow looking slimmer? Coincidence I think not.

  28. U.... ....

    LOL Kevin laughed at the story in the beginning xD

  29. A.... C....

    I literally cried while I listened. Wow, bravo

  30. c.... ....

    I like this version better than the album version this one is beautiful

  31. M.... S....

    Glad to know the story behind this song, so it makes more sense now. Beautifully written. Even when i couldn't figure out whose voice was which in the lyrics, it still connected.

  32. R.... ....

    NEEDS MORE PLAYS

  33. m.... ....

    and i've never loved nobody other than you..

  34. m.... ....

    and i've never loved nobody other than you..

  35. A.... F....

    My mind has just been blown. Amazing.

  36. B.... R....

    Poetry, I love it!

  37. l.... ....

    this song always makes me cry. -_- it's so deep, love this :)

  38. R.... R....

    I love the story behind it... Fuck yeah

  39. u.... ....

    It's an acoustic version you dumb fuck

  40. Z.... P....

    amazing song

  41. A.... ....

    best voice, ever

  42. S.... H....

    this is so awesome!

  43. l.... ....

    I get chills

  44. 1.... ....

    Only Andy Hull could write a song that makes you want to cry for both a cheater and the guy who chopped his head off

  45. S.... O....

    This is to be one of the most well written songs on the album. Wow, definitely blew me away. Well done, Bad Books, well done.

  46. W.... K....

    Such a beautiful song.

  47. H.... M....

    I want nothing more than the beautiful lumberjack, that is Andy Hull, to sing me to sleep.

  48. t.... ....

    i love this song so much

  49. j.... ....

    They mean Peter the great. He was a czar with anger issues. He forced his first wife to become a nun so she would leave him alone, and then killed her when she messed with someone else. He killed them both. he then got married to Catherine, who messed around with Williem Mons, who ironically was the brother of Peters mistress Anna. He chopped his head off and then put it in a jar in their room.

  50. c.... ....

    which pytor, i don't believe this story?

    c.... ....

    The great one. The beheaded fellow was willem mons I believe.

  51. R.... B....

    hes an amazing song writer
