Priest or whore

Winter is crawling now
and your sheets are calling me back somehow
you chasin' rainbows still?
give me a call when you've had your fill
and now you're scratching out
cause loneliness is an itchy shroud
it's all you'll wear now
don't look my face in your crowd
and that's how it goes
they'll tell you something different but it's no no no
(I'll tell you something different that I know you wanna know)
and that's how it goes
for the priest and the whore

Clever

So you think you are so clever
and you played a number on me
watch out waterman it can drown you
it's a long road without a turn you will see
all I wanted was a little bit of love to keep the pain at bay
all I wanted was a little bit of love to keep the pain at bay
all lies, all lies
all I wanted was a little bit of you
and knowing your bed feels like a shoebox
I still haven't given you my big speech
I know the air was greener when your girl was near you
but someone like me could never compete
you always knew that I could not compete
give me back my days

One trick pony

You're wrecking my head
much better if it were my bed
but from a girl like that tell me what do you expect
and the fever's not lifting
I keep on drifting
with no glass ceilings to smash I just keep on falling back
Come bathe in the splender of these shattered lies
and listen to the newborn screaming that never saw the light
and play back with me all that went tits up
there's another night in us, ah we should just...
My liver's a keg
flushed out like I am fucking dregs
but from a girl like that tell me what do you expect?
my nob's a trail of dried saliva
felt her up, we left the scene right before dawn
she made off with a bedside fiver
the headache remains haven't I been here before?
And take me down by the waterside
she's a one trick pony but jesus she can ride

You'd sell it too

Want a pint of lille?
but astra no can do
there's a stray cat at the back and you can drink its piss if you mind it to
moonraker, ballbreaker
cause they've been fiddling their jeans just to be like you
You'd sell it too if you found it
Collapsing all that's gold
sell it too if you found it
scrounging your way out of the woods
gamechanger, ballbreaker
cause they've been fiddling their jeans just to be like you
i like you in solitude

Calm me down
04:47

How much can you take?
of feather tickled feet
and coconut's that keep the beat on the streets alive
how much does it take?
to finally give it up
to see in settled dust the magpies have had their feed
with no hint of shame
the evil eyes remain
and they cannot explain all that you mean to me
and all we were...
You calm me down
When you're around
how much can you take?
trying to keep your head above the water
the social slaughter and backhanded compliments
how much does it take?
to heed their advice
to lay down on your knife
oh ag hro mochri
the four o clock call
since all's in freefall
you hold your tongue
I let mine run
will we ever get home?

2 ways 2 die
04:13
|

Can you hear her calling out from across the street
and can you hear her falling out with everyone that she meets
and do her fingers still burn your drums?
you'll only get crushed, you'll only get crushed violins
Do you hear him calling out abusing your dreams
do you hear him falling out with everyone that he meets
and do his fingers still burn your drums?
you'll only get crushed, you'll only get crushed violins
take me down, and it's a total breakdown
Oh lalala there's only two ways to die

Every try
03:36
|

|
Every try I had
left me on my knees worse than before
and the oars
well firewood was all they were good for
in my youth
the soldiers took aim at the suits
and there was nothing cute about
Go crying to your mother
telling your tales
of jonah and the whale
stand by what you've done now
and can you lift your head
we make our own beds
Every hand I've held
left me with a sickly memory
of frust
of desperation wrapped up in mistrust
