Atomic SodaYou asked me not to speak
Then kissed me on the cheek
You said that I was wrong
You said that I was weak
I tried to think awhile
You said I was too long
And when I tried to smile
You sung this pretty song
Back Together Babybird
Put the car in reverse
And come back to me.
Without you this house is a hearse without
wheels.
You can't work out which cringing, which
cringing feels worse,
Bad Old ManBad Old Man
HE HAD A BAD OLD MAN WHO BEAT HIM
TOOK A HAMMER TO HIS KNEES JUST TO PLEASE HIM
NOW HE'S 35 AND HALF ALIVE
HE'S AN OPEN MOUTH IN A BEEHIVE
Candy GirlAre you the tornado in my sails
Are you Jesus without the nails
Are you the bury met without the rails
Are you Paris without snails
Of course you're not
But you're all I've got
And that's fine & dandy
When you lick my candy girl
CornershopWhat is this beautiful thing we've found
It's so shiny, bright & round
So I went into town
And bought a little patch of ground
And I put a shop on top
And bought myself some stock
Oh, my little cornershop
Oh, my little cornershop
Dead Bird SingsDead bird sings
Take me in your arms again
Wash me in your eyes
Tie me to the house again
Divorce Songwhen the diamonds in your smile fall out
when the laughter in this house runs away
and the men come to take away the TV
and you find yourself changing the locks
AND THE LIGHT IN MY FACE
CAN'T JUST BE FOR ME
LIKE THE GUN IN YOUR HAND
Firefliesthere's bugs in a jam jar
they are choking,
they' forgot to put in holes
their legs are broken, their wings sprinckled on the floor
(oh, no, hot in here)
if I' ll find them, i gotta kill yhem, it wasnt me, it was my friends
GoodnightI hold you closely, you push me away,
I want forever, you just want today.
Give me your fingers, wash out your mouth,
bite off my tongue on this bloody couch.
But I don't blame you, you're always right.
I'm like a bad day on your good, good night.
I hear the tick of a bomb, all your hair in a fuse,
you ask me for a light to blow away these blues.
If You'll Be MineIf you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours,
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours.
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours,
If you’ll be mine, I’ll be yours.
I tick like a bomb,
a little bomb with feelings
in every single country,
under every ceiling.
Jesus is my GirlfriendLook at my hands
They're all over you
My rusty nails stuck to you like glue
My arms around you like audio tape
Got a little red horn underneath this cape
It's not dirty
It's not rude
I'll go to Kuwait if I wanna get, wanna get,
Neil ArmstrongThe world such a funny place I laugh every day,
my body won't move and my mind won't stay, my mind won't stay.
I'm floating out now, until my body's gone.
I'm so far away like Neil Armstrong, like Neil Armstrong, Buzz, John, (?), Uri Gagarin.
There's time to be free, it's too short to be lonely.
Accost someone you like in a lift or a street,
let them burn right through you with their eyes
because they know you're spineless and that you would flop under pressure.
ShellfishOpen your eyes. Open your eyes, I see the world in them.
Let me dab away the sleep with cotton wool balls.
Open your eyes, I see the world in them. Open your eyes.
Though I can't drive will you lend me your car
So I can drive through the tunnel of your long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long eyelashes.
Open, open, open your beautiful eyes.
Let me dab away the sleep with baby birds.
Let me dab away, dab away, dab away, dab away, dab a boo baa boo baa.
Swinging From Tree To TreeThe buildings have risen and poked out my eyes,
the clouds are black and I see rain all the time
and I'm left here in my mind.
I'm left here in my mind.
Swinging from tree to tree
Singing 'til my head bleeds.
Swinging from tree to tree
Singing 'til my throat bleeds.
take me backFound you on the roadside
Little cuts and bruises underneath your chin
You begged them to bury you before your life sets in
She sees me in the garden
Pulling petals off the flowers
She closes all the windows
Shuts down on the bed and shivers
The F-WordThe f-word's here
But the f-word's bad
Cuss my mother
And cuss my dad
But i love my mother
And i love my dad
Wanna have all that they never had
The Little Thingshere they come
the little things
building up
to everything
here she comes
my little love
swimming round my blood
the Way You Areso I was wrong
it wasn't love
at first sight
tonight
so I'll sleep on the couch
if you turn out the light
I can't change you
UnlovableI’ve tried
And you’ve tried
You’ve cried
And I’ve cried
I’ve lied
And you’ve lied
Together we’ve died
But sometimes
WhyWhy have you gone away on this lazy day?
Oh why? Oh why?
Where have you gone to? Did I drive you there?
Oh why? Oh why?
I wish I could remember that late December
when snow fell in hell. Oh why?
Where have you gone to on this crazy day?
You're Gorgeousremember that tank-top you bought me?
You wrote "you're gorgeous" on it
You took me to your rented motor car
And filmed me on the bonnet
You got me to hitch my knees up
And pulled my legs apart
You took an Instamatik camera
