And I'm gonna get to the bottom of this
gonna peel back my skin
and look at myself shaking and shivering
And I'll get the rope
from in the house
survey the scene
Find two of the tallest trees
And I'd tie myself up
Above the cool earth
to dangle in the twilight
And I'm gonna get to the bottom of this
gonna peel back my skin
and look at myself shaking and shivering
As my skin collects in a pile on the ground
I'll radiate heat and turn off my head
And just pretend that I don't exist
Then I'll see clearly to the end
Of the ropes that I've been hanging from
As they loosen from the trees
and plummet to the ground
Be impailed and turned around
I'm finally free from the ups and downs
And I'm gonna get to the bottom of this
gonna peel back my skin |

There's a beautiful sky tonight and
If you were by my side then we could share it but your gone.
So come at me with your moon and burn me in the stars
Cause nothing matters anymore.
If I could only see you now for about an hour
Maybe just a minute
Just to ask
What has he got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
I know blue eyes get boring but I'll wear dark glasses all the time and
Hey if you want me to, I'll take a knife to my own bright eyes.
If I could only see you now for about an hour
Maybe just a minute
Just to ask
What has he got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
Well, I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight
You should grant me this one wish.
Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and
Now you put me through hell.
You break me up.
Waoh, I should hate you, but I can't replace you in my heart.
Why am I so pathetic?
I don't get it why you won't return my calls.
Can't you look at me once?
And please if you got a minute,
Enjoy this lonely sky with me.
It'll swallow us whole if we only let it.
If I could only see you now for about an hour
Maybe just a minute
Just to ask
What has he got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
Well, I'll give a thousand reasons that tonight
You should grant me this one wish.
Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and
Now you put me through hell.
You break me up. yeah
If this sky's going to eat us
Then I'd like to be digested into
A million pieces with you.
I'd love to be scattered to hell with you.
To hell with you. |

If every limb were broken,
Tires had all worn thin
And my toes are all in pieces.
Do you know
What I would do?
I would play can you drag yourself
200 miles with just your fingernails?
A little game that I made up.
Do you know that I never ever lose?
There is nothing to
Keep me from coming back to you
Cause I can picture all the pictures of you
And me on your walls.
What would it take to make you mine forever?
Just your fingernails,
A little game that I made up.
Do you know, that I never ever lose?
Could I cut out my liver,
Make a special potion
To close my flat?
Three parts my heart.
Yeah, you know that I would do it in a second.
With just my fingernails,
A little game that I made up.
Do you know that I never ever lose?
With just my fingernails,
A little game that I made up.
Do you know that I never ever lose?
Never lose.
(background vocals at the end)
I am not afraid of what it takes to glue you to my side
Even if it takes a little bleeding, so be it
I would go without breathing and
I don't have to justify it
You just watch me
I've got time to kill |

Don't you remember
The last time I was speeding down this highway? and
Anna slept in the back seat, dreaming in the autumn heat.
We turned up the country radio.
I said, "if you want me just say so."
And I slicked back my hair in the wind.
And I told you I didn't want my picture taken but you snapped it anyway.
Now I guess,
Now I guess you won't have trouble remembering me someday, someday yeah.
So I floored it and swerved around the lanes.
And I kept wishing it was you instead of me behind the wheel so
Maybe with my camera I could steal a shot of you and
Go home to put it in my room.
And I told you I didn't want my picture taken but you snapped it anyway.
Now I guess,
Now I guess you won't have trouble remembering me someday, someday yeah.
Maybe you'll never remember me.
Maybe my face will lose these scars,
'cause sometimes they keep me home at night
Where I duck under the covers and wince when I see the light.
And I told you I didn't want my picture taken but you snapped it anyway.
Now I guess,
Now I guess you won't have trouble remembering me someday, someday yeah. yeah. |

I guess the only reality is the one you seem to believe in.
So I'm walking out, this is the last time, I feel like shit.
This isn't the way to treat old friends oh yeah
Let's go again
Set me up and
Watch me stand on top of my old house
Watch me spinning and watch me seeing the melon sky
Oh, look it's so beautiful tonight
But I was feeling so sweet
I could barely breathe so deep
But you had to come along
You had to shatter everything
Why'd you even fuck her in the first place?
Friends don't mean a thing when you can actually feel the knife sticking in your spine
For a second there I thought I was fine
But oh, whatever
I've tasted my own blood,
Now every time you walk on by, I feel like spitting in your eye
This is not the way I pictured getting hurt. |

Leif and I are on the train to new york in car 1399.
There's a guy with a quarter in his ear and
I've seen leif only once in the past two months. oh
His hair is sticking up a little in the front.
Yeah he's losing it just a bit.
When I get home tonight I'll miss him in hampshire.
His glasses, the way he writes in purple pen,
The way his collar falls to the left.
Have you seen his ankles lately?
I know he's next to me.
I feel his sweater here,
But when I'm sleeping it's only green sheets and the hair down my legs.
I think I'll write leif, when I'm near tuesday, sometime before you go
And I'm back on the train.

Its been so long since I had a smile
I've stayed sad for such a long while
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you
You kiss me now and I turn away
I think I'm still kissing yesterday
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you
So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
Cheer me up
Come on and Cheer me up
I don't want to spend the rest of my days dreaming yesterday's daydreams, no.
Out with the bad and in with the good
You feel my heart girl, you're knocking on wood
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you
So generous, I'm being kind
With selfishness in the back of my mind
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you
So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
Cheer me up
Come on and Cheer me up
I don't want to spend the rest of my days dreaming yesterday's daydreams.
Don't want to spend the rest of my days giving yesterday's promises.
Its been so long since I had a smile
I've stayed sad for such a long while
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you
No more giving my mind away
Tomorrow's love will be yesterday
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you
So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
Cheer me up
Come on and Cheer me up
I don't want to spend the rest of my days dreaming yesterday's daydreams.
Don't want to spend the rest of my days giving yesterday's promises.
Don't want to spend the rest of my days living yesterday.
Don't want to spend the rest of my days singing yesterday's love songs.
Come on and Cheer me up |

I wanna move the town to the clash city rockers
You need a little jump of electrical shockers
You better leave town if you only wanna knock us
Nothing stands the pressure of the clash city rockers
You see the rate they come down the escalator
Now listen to the tube train accelerator
Then you realize that you got to have a purpose
Or this place is gonna knock you out sooner or later
So don't complain about your useless employment
Jack it in forever tonight
So shut your mouth
And pretend you enjoy it
Think of all the money you've got
An' I wanna liquefy everybody gone dry
Or plug into the aerials that poke up in the sky
Or burn down the suburbs with the half-closed eyes
You wont succeed unless you try
So don't complain about your useless employment
Jack it in forever tonight
So shut your mouth
And pretend you enjoy it
Think of all the money you've got
You owe me a move say the bells of St. groove
Come on and show me say the bells of old Bowie
When I am fitter say the bells of Gary Glitter
No one but you and I say the bells of prince far-I
No one but you and I say the bells of prince far-I
Rock rock clash city rockers.
Rock rock clash city rockers.
Rock rock clash city rockers.

Have you ever
Had one of the days
When all the ???
So you just move on
And the days gets long
You wish you had just
Failed the answers to the questions before |
| » I Think I'll Quit « |
I think you're a really neat person
and I think I want to spend some more times with you
cause you aren't boring and your phone skills are really rad
you call me up again
I think I really like you
you're in my thoughts all the time
I remember what you look like
I can picture us walking hand in hand and side by side
then I look into your grey-blue eyes
I like you an awful lot. |
