They always censor don't marry her. Although I think it's a tad "stating the obvious". (Don't marry her / fuck me)

o.0 It's 'Have me' isn't it? I never would have thought that it could have originally been anything but that, or are you meaning from terms of what the content relates to?

On the actual recording, the line she sings is don't marry her, fuck me. My mom used to always stop the track before the end so we didn't hear it.

The album spawned 4 singles, the first being "Rotterdam", which flew to number 5 in the charts in September 1996. The follow ups were "Don't Marry Her" which got to number 8 in December, "Blackbird On The Wire", which got to number 23 in March of 1997 and finally the single "Liar's Bar" which got to number 43 in June. The lyrics to "Don't Marry Her" were substantially altered for radio release - changing from "Don't marry her, fuck me" to "Don't marry her, have me", and with "sweaty bollocks" becoming "Sandra Bullocks". On "Liars' Bar", Paul Heaton's vocal consciously imitates the style of Tom Waits.
