Hell, spookin' all over me
But the sight of you just
Breaks my heart in three
Ways of tellin' you
First you scrath the surface
Then you pull the plug!
If you get low it takes you by the hand
Daisy Duke
Don't you know
Soon it will start again
Daisy Duke
Like a dreamy resonance
The same chase oasis
Quick in a slow way
Can't you see
That I know: you won't come around
To take me away from here
If you get low
It takes you by the hand
Daisy Duke
Don't you know soon it will start again
saturday, oh saturday
how cruel of you to go away
you turn us on and you don't even have the decency to stay
we think that we're so cool
and make the others drool
walking like a chameleon
turn around and turn me on and make that sound you do so well 'cause
I'm not dancing i'm just shifting weight
I thought that you could tell
we think that we're so cool
and make the others drool
talking like a chameleon
SOMETIMES love KILLS TIME
IT JUST MIGHT TONIGHT
neon claws and drama queens agree to like the local band
everyone is smoking filter cigarettes all over again
we think that we're so cool
and make the others drool
walking like a chameleon
SOMETIMES love KILLS TIME
IT JUST MIGHT TONIGHT
Well I'm bound to find
can't stop changing my mind
like a clown in need of nicotine and children in tears
just add to the pile,the hope you mishear
yeah yeah yeah,yeah yeah yeah
no no no,no no no
My personal mess,for lack af two better words
you confirm I confess
the half of what I say is meaningless
than the third
But it's always the same the hope you misheard
yeah yeah yeah,yeah yeah yeah
no no no,no no no
yeah yeah yeah,yeah yeah yeah
no no no,no no no
(instrumental)
You fell down the stairs
Been done before
Stuck to the seats
Like caramel, caramel
No word is spoken
Try act serene
Stuck on each other
Like caramel, caramel
Red splendour above my head
The ugly, the bad and the good
I saw you projected there
On canvas oil of blood
World, where have you gone
Watch them leving
Stuck on somebody else
Like caramel, caramel
Red splendour above my head
The ugly, the bad and the good
I saw you projected there
On canvas oil of blood
Strung out on each others lines
Heroes with an edge
I saw you projected there
everybody wants to be the dj
everybody thinks it's oh so easy
you think you belong and you come on strong,
but I can still tell the right from the wrong.
I could never be that kind of girl
nobody takes the time to turn
you always act as if it's understood,
but sweet revenge is finger-lickin' good
if only I could sell myself
the way that even I would buy
if only I could sell myself
the way that even i would buy
Something's got to give
'cause I don't know
Here's one thing how to understand me
loneliness tastes like cotton candy.
You answer "I love you" with "I know",
never check the messages on your answerphone
if only i could sell myself
the way that even i would buy
Something's got to give
Somebody,
take this love and run away
'cause I don't care
it is all i can say
I KEEP ON LOSING YOU
AND FINDING YOU
Take me upstairs and
into your arms
Do not be deceived by my charms
I KEEP ON LOSING YOU
AND FINDING YOU
That's why I fear
all the salty knowledge of tears
Just shut your mouth and kiss me
just close your eyes
punish yourself with a handkerchief
I don't reply
That's why I fear
Maybe I'm wrong
but I could've sworn
I saw your eye twitch.
Didn't object,
what did you expect? Now I have to tell you:
Don't come back to tempt me.
I'm happy in my misery.
You asked what I did,
I did what you asked,
but I couldn't get it
right from the start
you went for my heart,
now I have to ask you
Don't come back to tempt me.
I'm happy in my misery.
It was your idea in the first place
and I know it takes two but on certain days
I try not to think of how it would be if....
I don't pretend
to know where it ends
wish I could care less.
One time I cried more
in 1994
but that doesn't count I guess.
Can I wash your hair underneath that wig takes a minute try and get to
the other side can I peal the
skin of your face takes a minute try and get to the other side we better
skip the old routine can I pick
you up on your way down takes a minute try and get to the other side can
I come on in and feel at
home takes a minute try and get to the other side until the time finally
comes there'll be no breath,
but you will smell it there'll be no death, but you will die it by the
time you read this line - I'll be
gone we're gonna have a splendid time as I sing the songs we'll never
write we gonna have a splendid
time it didn't have to be like this there'll be no breath, but you will
smell it, there'll be no death,
but you will die it there'll be no breath, but you will smell it
there'll be no death, but you will die it
Acapulco gold
Common cancer - on the telephone
Dead stop radio - try an suck a hole
Gif wise tongue - dead gone monotone
It's all around your big white ears
A life in the day - dream on dreamin' on
Milk my mind - keep on keepin' on
Make me cream - have a taste son
10 000 Miles under the soul
Leave the story untold
But the map's already unfold
Everybody's soul searchin' for
Acapulco gold
Hands up raised high
Keep your mind blowin'
Won't you pay no mind
Got your face glowin'
Keep your fi-hi
With my mind blowin'
It's been travellin' to wherever it should
Leave the story untold
But the map's already unfold
Everybody's soul searching for
Acapulco gold
Great continental suicide note
Try me, write it down
On whatever is left to stay
But it means nothin' to me
Try and put it down to
Someone else's mistake
But it's over, it's over
Get high, any higher
And if I get this lonely
I write it down to this moment
Last word for solitude
Long time overdue
But it means nothin' to me
Cause you sit back
while every surf
Hits the rocks
Better than sure
Don't give it away
Get high, any higher
And if I get this lonely
I write it down to this moment
Cause : you want it you want it you got it you got it if you taste it if
you need it if you waste it go chase it
hammer and tongues

Rooster
Johnny got shot through the grease
Drove his wheels through guarantee
Walked about with a monkey on his back
Torn pages of a coward's almanac
He got stuck between y - z
First letters of his own alphabet
Everythin' is cut & dry. The rooster crowes 3 times
As he turns & goes. The rooster crowes 3 times
A wise man told him about a song
First he had to blow the dust from his tongue
And Johnny said
Cannot see the mess I'm in
Can't seem to plug my organ in.
Everythin' is cut and dry - till the rooster crowes 3 times
As he turns & he goes - the rooster crowes 3 times
Wished I had a bad, bad memory
For all my so-called friends to see
So keep on readin' between the lines
A frogue's tongue freakin' at a jar of flies
Spendin' the afternoon in a slowly revolving door
They fill the place with laughing gas
Put your face against the glass
See the world slowly pass by you
Try and catch it while it's fast
Hold your breath against the glass
As I spell your name I'm thinking of you
Slow it down
Let me out
Someone break the glass
Try me
You heard me
Standing there
I don't agree
Before being crushed
This is a call
Soul Simplicity
No need to rush
This is the soul of a new identity
Can't You See
Why so mean
chorus
I Feel
You do it to yourself
Noone gets out
Stop competing with God Come to me
On my knees
I Feel they
Whisper at me
It's gonna pull you from the dance
Shift your weight out of there
Fast asleep in a room somewhere
You nearly lost your name in there
Everybody knows
When you dance too slow
You're all alone, on your own
Just lay the sequence in your head
Embrace the fact you're someone else
Everybody knows
When you dance too slow
No-one ever comes and says, hello
Everybody knows
When you dance too slow
You're all alone, on your own
Calling your name from across the room
Still in the rooms, everything went boom
This reception it doesn't come in clear
You just can't make the connection, dear
Everybody knows
When you dance too slow
No-one ever comes and says, hello
Everybody knows
When you dance too slow
You're all alone, on your own
Like she was scream
I try to hear
what's in my dreams
I gotta fear
I cannot breathe
please hold me tight
I try to feel
don't talk so fast
this radioactive she
what she does to me
caught her inside, cuts like a knife
she's like a scream to me
I'm not afraid
I cannot help
there's no disguise, no alibies
what do I think
I cannot say
something about me
like she was here
this radioactive she
what she does to me
caught her inside, cuts like a knife
she's like a scream to me
Excuse me x3
You're paying x2
This is the excuse that we're making we're making x2
This is the excuse that we're making (we're making)
Is it good enough for what you're paying (you're paying)? x2
I've been shout
I said I've been shout
You don't have to shout
Oh okay, well stop making me then
Hey, hey

guess i had it coming
ambition is my worst vice
next thing I know
time is having it's way with me
working hard at putting skin on baloney
it all makes sense in some way i forget right now
somehow i manage to fool
myself and everyone else
that this is really just
only, maybe, only,
just the meantime
meantime
frequent liar mileage
as if I had a choice
limp to the edge of patience
and let yourself fall
wearing out mirrors
all over the world
i hope i can get far playing
air guitar
in the meantime
meantime
there has to be more than this
there has to be more than this
somehow i manage to fool
myself and everyone else

Taking your time,
Answering eyes,
And you're thinking of why
Instead of about.
And it's taking up time,
You never had.
And you're making up like,
Nothing is said.
There were all these cries,
And don't ask whys,
A kiss will never taste like goodbye.
And it's almost fine,
But all this time,
The feeling is so hard to deny.
Why not till it's over?
You're just a miserable girl,
Trapped in a healthy body. (x2)
You're such a catholic girl,
Trapped in a guilty body.
Taking your time,
Answering eyes,
And you're thinking of why
Instead of about.
And it's taking up time,
You never had.
And you're making up like,

There were all these cries,
And don't ask whys,
A kiss will never taste like goodbye.
And it's almost fine,
But all this time,
The feeling is so hard to deny.
Why not till it's over?
Until it's over.
You're just a miserable girl,
Trapped in a healthy body. (x3)
You're such a catholic girl,
Trapped in a guilty body.
You're just a miserable girl,
Trapped in a healthy body.
You're such a catholic girl,
Trapped in a guilty body.
When I believe it's time.
The great escape from you
Come, come on clear minds
You turn it upside down
The stopwatch prophecy
You try to take it all back
Something will make you go krack
They wanna sell museum
The sailor moved away
He's on the dance floor now
It's gone insane
You try to take it all back
Something will make you go krack
I tried nothing at all
Something will make you go krack
Five more words to throw back
You will clear beneath him, now that I'm back
This heart's a ???
While insanity is under attack
It's under a stoming boat
You wanna sell it all
They wanna sell museum
The sailor moved away
He's on the dance floor now
It's gone insane
You try to take it all back
It's under a stoming boat
You try to take it all back
It's under a stoming boat
AAAAHHHHH!
Instrumental
Like the hammer of a clickin' gun
words soundin' funny comin' out all wrong
hang on sister
we gotta lot to learn
this compartment is self-contained
still my mouth is runnin' dry again
I agree to disagree
I know you are but what am I?
Languages appeals to a long lost cry
carefully chosen words I tried
hang on brother
we gotta lot to learn
for what it's worth
the rights and wrongs
the hammer and tongues
to all of you who don't believe
suck a like with a big hole in me
hang on sister
we gotta lot to learn
I know you are but what am I?
Try me, write it down
On whatever is left to stay
But it means nothin' to me
Try and put it down to
Someone else's mistake
But it's over, it's over
Get high, any higher
And if I get this lonely
I write it down to this moment
Last word for solitude
Long time overdue
But it means nothin' to me
Cause you sit back
while every surf
Hits the rocks
Better than sure
Don't give it away
Get high, any higher
And if I get this lonely
I write it down to this moment
Cause : you want it you want it you got it you got it if you taste it if
Wasn't it supposed to be funny?
If love ever comes barging in like that again,
that's it, I'm calling security.
If time ever tries to pull one of those stunts again,
you'd better believe, it ain't me, it ain't me.
'cause everything you try to conceal
is everything you want to reveal
flying without wings
i wish i just couldn't feel a thing
Time and time again
translation seems to sabotage
the words
you know what is said
is not what is heard
Damn this mean device
It makes a whispering man sound as if he cries
It's the pinnacle of what is cynical
CONVERSATION INTERCOM
you hear what i say but
it comes out all wrong
CONVERSATION INTERCOM
you say what i see still
you speak in different tongues
Don't act like a fool
It makes you so uncool and
that's what it does best
'cause if anything
it's just a temper-test
Fill in your own words
yeah
1-800 Dial-to-be-heard
It's the pinnacle
of what is typical
CONVERSATION INTERCOM
you hear what i say
but it comes out all wrong
CONVERSATION INTERCOM
you say what i see still
you speak in different tongues
.......
clap your hands and you know what to do...
my ears attend to you...
as people listen intently...
can you copy?....
do you receive?...
do you receive?...
Damn this mean device
It makes a whispering man sound as if he cries,
Saturday
saturday, oh saturday
how cruel of you to go away
you turn us on and you don't even have the decency to stay
we think that we're so cool
and make the others drool
walking like a chameleon
turn around and turn me on and make that sound you do so well 'cause
i'm not dancing i'm just shifting weight
i thought that you could tell
we think that we're so cool
and make the others drool
talking like a chameleon
SOMETIMES love KILLS TIME
IT JUST MIGHT TONIGHT
neon claws and drama queens agree to like the local band
everyone is smoking filter cigarettes all over again
we think that we're so cool

When logics die
And the place of sadness
I occupy with dignity
was left like a dream among stones
and the words that you spill
from the mouth that you fill
they abandon their grace and fatigue
oh, to feel without touching
and speak without talking
you'll spill
the tissues of lies
how I wish we could mend this
or learn how to throw away
as we look for someone to blame
love's been denied
don't be polite
I owe u nothing
when logics die
I'm the orgy and the distant cool
the friend you will never fool
i like the way you oppose me
let the last thoughtd languish
and try and distinguish
you'll spill the tissues of lies
how I wish we could mend this
or learn how to throw away
as we look for someone to blame
love's been denied
don't be polite
I owe u nothing

Much against evryone's advice

at missing the point
at this stuff

very absentmindedly
I care
but never enough
TIIIIIIIIIME-to set the record straight
TIIIIIIIIIME-to stop communicating

Overweight karate kid
Like an overweight karate
kid you could moonwalk over my heart
using candour as painkiller
tastes like vanilla to me
occasionally
someone please make go home, I'm
the worst at being alone
just tell me I ought to watch
INFOMERCIALS FOR LOVE
and buy all of their trust
saturdays have shown us I'm not
the world's most talkative guy
you say it's fine
but I can always try and answer
with amplified anger, and
then cry inside
someone please make go home, I'm
the worst at being alone
just tell me I ought to watch
INFOMERCIALS FOR LOVE
and buy all of their trust
Proverbial pants
Don't let this heart pollute you
cross your legs and hope to die, 'cause
saturday night was god's way
of telling me I ought to
know- proverbial pants
please not again
oh proverbial pants
please not again
All i can do is warn you
in some stupid-half way
please tell me that you love me
but not too loud
oh-proverbial pants
please not again
DON'T COME TOO CLOSE CAUSE YOU'LL RUIN IT
YOU'LL HOLD IT AGAINST ME
INEVITABLY
CONSEQUENTLY

this ought to be embarassing
you- not me
oh-proverbial pants
please not again
DON'T COME TOO CLOSE CAUSE YOU'LL RUIN IT
YOU'LL HOLD IT AGAINST ME
INEVITABLY
CONSEQUENTLY
The salty knowledge of tears
Somebody,

Do not be deceived by my charms

Too many DJ's
everybody wants to be the dj
everybody thinks it's oh so easy

Maybe I'm wrong

I saw your eye twitch.
Didn't object,

Now I have to tell you:
Don't come back to tempt me.
I'm happy in my misery.
You asked what I did,

Funny
All we ever wanted
is to know how the shake off every impulse
looking up evolution's skirt
to see what the future will bring
The thing that smacks our nostrils
track down it's origin and reason
and somehow we just can't help but feel
we beat up the wrong guy
Chorus:
Everything seems to work fine
but something doesn't compute
it does not compute
Everybody's feelin' alright
but something doesn't compute
it does not compute
The answers gone to waste
the question is wrapped in hesitation
but all the handshakes in the world
couldn't grasp why this is absurd
Everytime this happens
some repsentative of instinct
slips you his business card and leaves you
to figure out what it means
This sinking feeling
that there's more than meets the eye
You just have to wonder why x2
Chorus
This sinking feeling
that there's more than meets the eye
You just have to wonder why x2
Chorus x3
You need truth and aspirin
I need violence
No one, no one has good taste
It's all just coincidence
Cause you don't seem to bother
You don't seem to understand
Accidents and compliments
Cause you don't seem to understand
This is all you wanted
You don't seem to comprehend
I need pills and memories
You need an audience
No one, no one gets nothing
I call you what in the end
Cause you don't seem to bother
You don't seem to understand
Accidents and compliments
Cause you don't seem to comprehend
We do not accept this
You don't seem to understand
Cause you don't seem to understand
Accidents and compliments
You don't seem to comprehend
We do not accept this
You don't seem so innocent
This is all you wanted
You don't seem to understand
Cause every time we try to end...
And the place of sadness
I occupy with dignity
was left like a dream among stones
and the words that you spill
from the mouth that you fill
they abandon their grace and fatigue
oh, to feel without touching
and speak without talking
you'll spill
the tissues of lies
how I wish we could mend this

I used to think cupid was a real jerk
A child star, tormented
A faded star of yesterday
Now toothless and jaded
He shoots his arrows wildely with bottles
Scattered across the sky
He trips on clouds
With a face like Keith Richards
I am your voice what you propose
I am your choice your vow to be
Whatever you do I'll agree
Please forgive me my cruel joke
I'm everywhere, partial and entire
I'm on the inside of everything
And on the outside
I'm trembling like a man away from home
But I can't speak my heart
In case they hear me
Now, no one will listen to our song
I used to think cupid was an asshole
The loneliest soul in the universe
And as the wrinkled birdman approached me
I could smell his smouldering cigarette breath
And he looked at me out the corner of his head
And he spoke
So, you ask me why no one stays together anymore
You're never around when I need you
seem to have a history
at missing the point
at this stuff
apparently
very absentmindedly
I care
but never enough
TIIIIIIIIIME-to set the record straight
TIIIIIIIIIME-to stop communicating

I sat alone with my thoughts
TIIIIIIIIIME-to set the record straight
TIIIIIIIIIME-to stop communicating
please anticipate
AND I'M TRYING TO COMPREHEND THE THINGS I WRITE
AND I'M LIVING THE LIE THAT I CANNOT SATISFY
MUCH AGAINST EVERYONE'S ADVICE
Feels like nothin' is real When all you
can hear is sorry again Please don't
take my fraud As i finish my thoughts
for you It's my new favorite word it's a
three letter hurt from inside As I try
to forhet It's as far as i'll get to
hatin' you Complicated - cannot find the
words Let your mind fall down
Sophisticated - love the way, it hurts
Let your mind fall down ! It's a long
distance zoom As I pan through, the room
for you As I try to forget it's as far
as I'll get to hatin' you Tell me -
write it down - long distance zoom !
Complicated - cannot find the words Let
your mind fall down Sophisticated - love
There's a script, but I ain't writing
Left that stage all in my mind
Cause I'm not hip to your sign language
Sticky fingers of a different kind
The same word, foreign language
In one season they killed you twice
Sweet smell shotgun fot the hip and blind
She strokes the gun, feel how it's warm
Got a mouthful dirt and razors
It'll cut right through last month's flavour
With my mouthful, wasted terrors
Kill your darlings, kill your darlings
Cause I tried being helpful
Saying things I don't understand
Can't come up with no new lines
From their sweet surfaced mouths
She strokes the gun, feel how it's warm
Got a mouthful dirt and razors
It'll cut right through last month's flavour
With a mouthful wasted terrors
Kill your darlings, kill your darlings
Kiss the gun, bite the bullet
Get off the stick, get on the can
Well I've seen all their faces
Sheking hands full of napalm traces
She strokes the gun, feel how it's warm
Got a mouthful dirt and razors
It'll cut right through last month's flavour
With a mouthful wasted terrors
Like the hammer of a clickin' gun
words soundin'
funny coming out
all wrong hang on
sister
gotta lot to learn
this compartement
is self-contained
still my mouth is
runnin' dry
again I agree to

know you are
but what am I
? language
appeals to a long
lost
care-
fully
chose
words I
tried hang
on brother

what it's
worth the
right& wrongs
everybody shake
the hammer &
tongues to all of
you who don't
believe suck a lie
with a big hole in
me hang on sis-
ter we gotta lot
to learn
know you are
but what am I
You're honest even when you lie
Well, I wish you were closer than near
I must be blind 'cause you didn't intend to live
You just merely got it all wrong, I'm better off dead
'Cause I must remember to forget you
And I must remember you can't seem to
You're honest even when you lie
And in all of the kitchens in the world full of broken live
'Cause it doesn't happen when you're asleep
To the unspoken question I say, "Will you have me?"
'Cause I must remember to forget you
And I must remember you can't seem to
'Cause I must remember to forget you
Common cancer - on the telephone
Dead stop radio - try an suck a hole
Gif wise tongue - dead gone monotone
It's all around your big white ears
A life in the day - dream on dreamin' on
Milk my mind - keep on keepin' on
Make me cream - have a taste son
10 000 Miles under the soul
Leave the story untold
But the map's already unfold
Everybody's soul searchin' for
Acapulco gold
Hands up raised high
Keep your mind blowin'
Won't you pay no mind
Got your face glowin'
Keep your fi-hi
With my mind blowin'
It's been travellin' to wherever it should
Leave the story untold
But the map's already unfold
Everybody's soul searching for
I
seem to have a history
at missing the point
at this stuff
apparently
very absentmindedly
I care
but never enough
for
...

Names that sound familiar
Secret wounds from failure
Try and look into their eyes
A part of the weekend never dies
There's no tension in your dance
As you try and hold my hand
chorus:
It's not you it's the e-talking
Closing in on the translation
It's not you it's the e-talking
I'm not sure which part I'm playing
Look and I come in between
Faces you have never seen
Silence re-alarms go wild
Rock stop paint me melt to lie
As you weep things work the same
But I can't recall your name
chorus:
It's not you it's the e-talking
Closing in on the translation
It's not you it's the e-talking
I'm not sure which part I'm playing
Stranger at your own
Party feels like home
Late night phonecalls
Try to please all
chorus:
It's not you it's the e-talking
Closing in on the translation
It's not you it's the e-talking
I'm not sure which part I'm playing
Run
Think fast
It'll catch up with you
Any minute now
Cause it's not my style
to cover up so hurry up
Any minute now
Names you drop
(re)verberate and deafen me
Can you hear me now (2x)
Whatever you hold back for me
Whatever I try to tell you
It lives on the outside of truth
Whatever you think it might be
Whatever I want to believe
It lives on the outside of me
Seek and hide
You never know what you will find
Any minute now
Pause and then
shall we begin again
any minute now
Whatever you hold back for me
Whatever I try to tell you
It lives on the outside of truth
Whatever you think it might be
Whatever I want to believe
It lives on the outside of me
The truth is so boring
We all have each other
Once you were beautiful
Now I am myself
We all had each other
Everything ends in perfume
We all had each other
No-one is safe from here
We'll do what we've done to please
What friends are not supposed to see
The truth is so boring
We all had each other
My instinct for failure
It's always been good to you
We all had each other
No-one is left to believe
The truth is so boring
Our names do not appear
The answer may be known for years
What friends are not suppose to tell
Everything happens
No-one was wrong
The truth is so boring
We all have each other
Once you were beautiful
Now I am myself
We all had each other
Everything ends in perfume
We all had each other
No-one is safe from here
We'll do what we've done to please
What friends are not supposed to see
Everything happens
No-one was wrong
Everything happens
No-one was wrong
Everything happens
Everything happens
Nothing did happen
S TOP - SOG... - Soulwax Lyrics - Please Don't Be Yourself Lyrics
Some try to warn be 'bout your acting skills
They say there's a method in the way you feel
The void you so desperately try to soothe
So give me a drink before I love you too
It only takes fifteen if you take in account
The last five minutes you just didn't count
Someone else just took your place
Same old story 'bout a different face
I'm not gonna wait 'till you say farewell
Please, please don't be yourself
It only takes fifteen if you take in account
The last five minutes you just went around
It only takes fifteen if you take in account
The last five minutes you just didn't count
Some... classes in the... school
And they only make sense if you play by the rules
And don't forget to compromise
I'm not sure that you realise
It only takes fifteen if you take in account
The last five minutes you just went around
It only takes fifteen if you take in account
The last five minutes you just didn't count
This is an excuse that will make it will make it,
This is an excuse that will make it will make it,
This is an excuse that will make it will make it is it good enough for what your payin' your payin'
This is an excuse that will make it will make it is it good enough for what your payin' your payin'
Your Payin'
Your Payin'
Your Payin'
Its just another excuse!
Its just another excuse!
Its just another excuse!
Its just another excuse!
Its just another excuse!
Its just another excuse!
Its just another excuse!
Its just another excuse!
Its just another excuse!
Its just another excuse!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
More excuses and more excuses!
Its just another excuse!
Its just another excuse!
Like an overweight karate
kid you could moonwalk over my heart
using candour as painkiller
tastes like vanilla to me
occasionally
someone please make go home, I'm
the worst at being alone
just tell me I ought to watch
INFOMERCIALS FOR LOVE
and buy all of their trust
saturdays have shown us I'm not
the world's most talkative guy
you say it's fine
but I can always try and answer
with amplified anger, and
then cry inside
someone please make go home, I'm
the worst at being alone
just tell me I ought to watch
INFOMERCIALS FOR LOVE
Don't let this heart pollute you
cross your legs and hope to die, 'cause
saturday night was god's way
of telling me I ought to
know- proverbial pants
please not again
oh proverbial pants
please not again
All i can do is warn you
in some stupid-half way
please tell me that you love me
but not too loud
oh-proverbial pants
please not again
DON'T COME TOO CLOSE CAUSE YOU'LL RUIN IT
YOU'LL HOLD IT AGAINST ME
INEVITABLY
CONSEQUENTLY
tell me what am i wearing
when you think of me?
this ought to be embarassing
you- not me
oh-proverbial pants
please not again
DON'T COME TOO CLOSE CAUSE YOU'LL RUIN IT
YOU'LL HOLD IT AGAINST ME
INEVITABLY
Maybe I'm wrong
but I could've sworn
I saw your eye twitch.
Didn't object,
what did you expect?
Now I have to tell you:
Don't come back to tempt me.
I'm happy in my misery.
You asked what I did,
I did what you asked,
but I couldn't get it
right from the start
you went for my heart,
now i have to ask you
Don't come back to tempt me.
I'm happy in my misery.
It was your idea in the first place
and I know it takes two but on certain days
I try not to think of how it would be if....
I don't pretend
to know where it ends
wish I could care less.
One time I cried more
in 1994
They fill the place with laughing gas
Fut your face against the glass
See the world slowly pass by you
Try and catch it while it's fast
Hold your breath against the glass
As I hold your name I'm thinkin' of you
Slow it down
Let me out
Someone break the glass
Slow it down
Let me out
Johnny got shot through the grease
Drove his wheels through guarantee
Walked about with a monkey on his back
Torn pages of a coward's almanac
He got stuck between y - z
First letters of his own alphabet
Everythin' is cut & dry. The rooster crowes 3 times
As he turns & goes. The rooster crowes 3 times
A wise man told him about a song
First he had to blow the dust from his tongue
And Johnny said
Cannot see the mess I'm in
Can't seem to plug my organ in.
Everythin' is cut and dry - till the rooster crowes 3 times
As he turns & he goes - the rooster crowes 3 times
Wished I had a bad, bad memory
For all my so-called friends to see
So keep on readin' between the lines
A frogue's tongue freakin' at a jar of flies
