Bulletproof Cupid lyrics

Everything's forgotten
Everything's so rotten
Why don't you release me?
Why don't you just tease me?

I don't think I need you anymore
I don't think I need another whore
I just feel like you should wait
Time will tell before it's too late
When all is said and done you
Just ain't no fun to be with

You're my bulletproof cupid
You're my little stupid
You're my fluctuated
You're my inspector gadget

English Summer Rain lyrics

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages

I'm in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
Drop on by

I'm in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
Drop on by

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes

This Picture lyrics

I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Left cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described our world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night while I was on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
And watch out for earthquakes

Sleeping with Ghosts lyrics

The sea's evaporated
Though it comes as no suprise
These clouds we're seeing
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the lines

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
'Cause Soulmates never die

This one world vision
Turns us into compromise
What good's religion

The Bitter End lyrics

Since we're feeling so anaesthetised,
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time,
that I followed you home.

We're running out of alibi's,
on the second of May.
Reminds me of the summertime,
on this winter's day.

See you at the bitter end.
See you at the bitter end.

Every step we take that synchronised,
every broken bone.
Reminds me of the second time,

Something Rotten lyrics

Get real
It seems
When you're here I miss you something rotten
The stinks
Are here
It's guaranteed all's forgotten

Tell me
Tell me
It's clear
Perhaps you have forgotten
Don't fear
Don't fear
You're clean
All is forgotten

face down
face down
face down
I miss you something rotten
face down
Face down
This crown
Is broken rotten

Tell me
Tell me
No it's not
It's all forgotten

Plasticine lyrics

Beauty lies inside the eye
Of another youthful dream
That doesn't sell its soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine

Beauty lies inside desire
And every wayward heart redeemed
That doesn't sell its soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine

Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are

Special Needs lyrics

Remember me when you're the one who's silver screened
Remember me when you're the one you'd always dreamed
Remember me whenever noses start to bleed
Remember me special needs

Just nineteen a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream it seemed
Six months off for bad behavior

Remember me when you clench your movie deal

I'll be yours lyrics

I'll be your water
Bathing you clean
Your liquid peace
I'll be your reefer
You'll breathe me in
It won't release
Well I've seen you suffer
I've seen you cry
A whole life through
So I'll be your water
Bathing you clean
Your liquid blue

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours

Second Sight lyrics

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You let it come between us
Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were you never were

Yes it's just the second night
But I would break backsides for you
Yes I know you're the jealous type
Cause I'm cursed with second sight so

Walk away to save your face

Protect Me From What I Want lyrics

It's the disease of the age
It's the disease that we crave
Alone at the end of the rave
We catch the last bus home
Corporate America wakes
Coffee republic and cakes
We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call our home

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me

Maybe we're victims of fate

Centrefolds lyrics

Come on Balthazar
I refuse to let you die
Come of fallen star
I refuse to let you die

Cause it's wrong
And I've been waitin far too long
And it's wrong
I've been waitin far too long
For you to be
Be
Be
Be

Be mine
For you to be mine
Be mine
For you to be mine

And it's wrong
I've been waitin far too long
It's wrong
I've been waitin far too long
For you to be
Be
Be
Be

Jackie (Sinead O'connor Cover) lyrics

Jackie left on a cold dark night

Telling me he'd be home

Sailed the seas for a hundred years

And left me all alone

Now I've been dead for twenty years,

I've been washing the sand with my ghostly tears

Searching the shores for my Jackie oh

And I remember the day that the young man came

Said, "Your Jackie's gone heâs lost in the rain"

Daddy Cool lyrics

She's crazy like a fool
What about Daddy Cool?
I'm crazy like a fool
What about Daddy Cool?
Daddy, Daddy Cool x4

(Repeat)

She's crazy like her daddy
mmm... She...
She loves her daddy

She's crazy like a fool
What about Daddy Cool?
I'm crazy like a fool
What about Daddy Cool
Daddy, Daddy Cool x4

I Feel You lyrics

I feel you
Your sun it shines
I feel you
Within my mind
You take me there
You take me where
The kingdom comes
You take me to
And lead me through Babylon

This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

I feel you
Your heart it sings
I feel you
The joy it brings
Where heaven waits
Those golden gates
And back again
You take me to
And lead me through oblivion

Holocaust lyrics

Your eyes are almost dead
Can't get out of bed
And you can't sleep

You're sitting down to dress
And you're a mess
You look in the mirror

You look in your eyes
Then you realize

Everybody goes
Leaving those
Who fall behind

Everybody goes
As far as they can
They don't just care

They stood on the stairs
Laughing at your errors

Your mother's dead
She said, "Don't be afraid."
Your mother's dead

Ballad Of Melody Nelson lyrics

Pour l'amitiÃ,

L'amitià entre hommes et femmes

Impensable

Parce que, il y a toujours
Sous jacent

Le dÃsir animal

This is the story of

Melody Nelson

Apart from me no one

Ever took her in his arms

Under her thumb

Eyes in the sun

Oh my Melody mine

Oh my Melody mine

She has nothing but love

Poor

Melody Nelson

Her life was more said than done

20th Century Boy lyrics

Friends say it's fine, friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
I move like a rat, talk like a cat, sting like a bee
Babe I'm gonna be your man
And it's plain to see you were meant for me, yeah
I'm your toy Your 20th century boy
Friends says it's fine, friends says it's good
Everybody says it's just like Robin Hood
Fly like a plane, drive like a car, hold out your hand

Johnny & Mary lyrics

Johnny's always running around, trying to find certainty.
He needs all the world to confirm, that he ain't lonely

Mary counts walls, knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world would be right, if it would buy truth from him.
Mary says he changes his mind, more than a woman.
But she made her bed, even when the chance was slim.

Bigmouth Strikes Again lyrics

sweetness, sweetness, i was only joking when i said
i'd like to smash every tooth in your head
ohh, sweetness, sweetness, i was only joking when i said
by right you should be blugent in your bed

and now i know how Joan or Arc felt [now i know Joan of Arc felt],
as the flames rose around her nose and her discman started to melt

Bigmouth blabbed it, im down, Bigmouth blabbered it out,

Where Is My Mind? lyrics

Where Is My Mind Lyrics

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground

Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse if there's nothing in it

and you'll ask yourself

Chorus-

Where is my mind

Where is my mind

Where is my mind

Way out in the water

See it swimming

I was swimming in the Caribean

Animals were hiding behind the rock

Running Up That Hill lyrics

"If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.

If I only could, I'd be running up that hill."

It doesn't hurt me.

Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?

Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?

You, it's you and me.

And if I only could,

I'd make a deal with God,

And I'd get him to swap our places,
