You Could Have It So Much Better lyrics

Oh well I woke up tonight and said I
I'm gonna make somebody love me
I'm gonna make somebody love me
And now I know, now I know, now I know
I know that it's you
You're lucky, lucky
You're so lucky!

Oh well do you, do you do you want to?
Oh well do you, do you do you want to, want to go
Where I've never let you before?
Oh well do you, do you do you want to?

Eleanor put those boots back on
Kick the heels into the Brooklyn dirt
I know it isn't dignified to run
But if you run you can run to the Coney Island roller coaster
Ride to the highest point
And leap across the filthy water
Leap until the gulf streams brought you down

I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land

So Eleanor take a green point three point

Words fall from my mouth
Like plates from shaking hands
Smash upon the silence
Of the smooth naked canal

I'm evil and a heathen
I'm evil and a heathen
I'm a heathen and evil like you
There's not a lot
Not a lot I couldn't do

I like how you pretend
That the end will be the end
So fill your thirst
Drink a curse
To the death of death instead

I'm evil and a heathen

So far away
Come on I'll take you far away
Let's get away
Come on let's make a get away.

Once you have loved someone this much
You doubt it could fade
Despite how much you'd like it to
God how you'd like it to fade.

Let's fade together
Let's fade forever
Let's fade together
Let's fade forever
Let's fade together

If we get away
You know we might just stay away
So stay awake

You toss in a word
I'm your villain
I see the passion emerge
I'm your villain
But serious
You're so serious
Like a waiter
Hating the rich
But taking their tips

If I could laugh I'd love you
If I could smile at anything you said
We could be laughing lovers
I think you'd prefer to be miserable instead
If I could love I'd love you
If I could love like anybody else

I know what I am

Its been some change
But we're still outsiders
If everybody's here
Then hell knows
We ride alone

I've seen some years
But you're still my Caesar
With everything I feel
I feel you've already been here

The only difference is all I see is now all that I've seen

It's bright on the outside
The bright love the dark side
I know it's obvious
But sometimes
You just have to say it

Some say you're trouble, boy
Just because you like to destroy
All the things that bring the idiots joy
Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?

And the Kunst won't talk to you
Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu
Because you robbed a supermarket or two
Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

It seems this boy's bathed in ridicule
Too forward, way too physical
It's time that I had another
I'm always wanting more if there's another one
Give me some more I'll have another one
I'll have a slice of your mother

This boy is so spectacular
Not a boy but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car

I see losers losing everywhere

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver"
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away

Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground

Well that was easy waiting
Everything's easy now
And the days are oh so normal
But oh, Hannah
How I miss you
Now

I used to lock myself in your bathroom
Swallowing the Codeine kept for your back
Numb, so numb
I'd let your words
Come and come
So come on -
Kill me now
Kill me now
Kill me now
Because I'm leaving you now

That was easy, but how I miss you

As I took a step number four
Into the close of your tenement
You cast your darkened eyes so low
Said we're cold as the step cement

But I just don't know what you meant

So Alec you may want a pill
We are so cruel to communicate
Without the red stuff being spilled
We must MDMA our sentiment

But I just don't know what you meant

If we were feckless we'd be fine

The last message you sent
Said I looked really down
That I oughtta come over
And talk about it
Well I wasn't down
I just wasn't smiling at you yeah

As I look at us now it seems
That your slapping my back
as if it's alright
but it's not
I'm trying to get up
But you're pushing me down
Yeah you're pushing me down
So I'll get up on my own (x8)

Now there's some grinning goon

Some granite wall
Numbs our bones, numbs our all
As we sit on skinny hands
Nothing to say, nothing at all
I don't know you and I... I don't want to
You're so awkward just like me
But I don't care

You're the reason I'm leaving
You're the reason I'm leaving
If I leave then we don't stop leaving alone

I'd no idea that in four years
I'd be hanging from a beam
