First Blood by Merisan

I’ve noticed your gaze every night for a while
and can see you’re enjoying the view.
I bet you’re the type who wants more than a smile
So I’ll make this clear just for you.

I like the kind of man
Who wants to leave me cold
Maybe you’ll understand
I need a lover who can take control

Step one: Turn the lights down low
Step two: Put on your long black cape
Step three: Move in close and slow
Now you’re ready for your first blood!

It takes more than charm to woo this girl,
though flowers and chocolates are nice.
What I’m looking for lasts an eternity
What you want is just for tonight.

I like the kind of man
Who wants to leave me cold
Maybe you’ll understand
I need a lover who can take control

Step one: Turn the lights down low
Step two: Put on your long black cape
Step three: Move in close and slow
Now you’re ready for your first blood!

Step one: Turn the lights down low
Step two: Put on your long black cape
Step three: Move in close and slow
Now you’re ready for your first blood!

My first thought - as quickly as it took me to realize this was a tango titled "First Blood" - was of Tom Lehrer's "The Masochism Tango." Obviously, not even remotely the mood you were going for. I'm not entirely sure how "first blood" relates to the subject matter of the song here. Blood as a metaphor for sex? I suppose it works, but I've never really heard it put that way, and it feels awkward. Anyway, what does work here is the instrumentation. I love the accordion plays against the stringed instrument (is that a ukelele or a flamenco guitar being played in the higher registers?), and the percussion is masterful. It all combines into a song that feels richly layered in spite of its minimalist arrangement.
