Hot Chip Album

And i don't deal in books
i don't deal in looks
and don't ask for my recommendations
and i don't know about
babies being born
and hits being hot
baby, what you got?

take care into the home
take care
take care

it's never bang, bang, bang
it's run, run, run
and i'm only on my way
don't tell me where i'm at
my heart is broke, broke, broke
and it's not for the cause of a lady
my eyes are choked, choked, choked
and it's no good looking at you

take care into the home
take care
take care into the home
take care
take care

Don't want all this cold cold shit
throw off your shirt and let's get
hot hot hot
we've never been, we've never been to the bridge, throw off your skirt and let's begin the rock

i've been to all the places on the block
(you can believe it, believe it or not) i like to rock , rock! i like to rock, rock!

jump right in and in too deep
throw off your towel and let's get wet wet wet
bermuda shorts are comin back to town throw off your pants and let's begin the dance

i've been to i've been to all the beaches on the strip and you better believe this shit

i like to dip, dip (x2)

don't want all this cold cold cold shit throw off your shit and let's get hot hot hot,
we've never been, we've never to the bridge...throw off your skirt and let's begin the rock ....

oh yeh i'm over here, oh yeh you're over there ...
we could get over here...
..then we begin to share

hot love on a platter, let me be your dancer, hot love on a platter, let me be your dancer

Nothin's new forever, can't you see I'm just a sucker? I'm like Stevie Wonder, but I can see things

Me and Ulysses, we like Gene and Dean Ween
We're like brothers making records who can't play things

When the prog hits ya, if you're feeling proggy
Let it get ya in the places most others can't reach you

Cause nothin's new forever - all they suckers undercover - It's like only Stevie Wonder sees the same things

I'm a rollin' a rock up a steep-steep hill
When I reach the it comes right back down

I meet Sisyphus when I hit the top
And we stroll back down together slowly

Then we rock on up to the highest top
Me and Ulysses we make the music

When we're feelin hot 'til where ten feet tall
Y'know you're gonna hear us callin', callin'

Give up all you suckers we the tightest muthafuckas And you never seen us talking shit before now

You peelin' potatoes while we sonic alligators
Makin' records sellin' like we smokin' crack now

'Joe' -'what now'?
'We bad.' -'Bad how'?
'We make a track to shake a cow
and move you like you startin something nasty?

'And then' -What then?
'We do it again, don?t make no money for us to spend
on yachts and boats and planes and drugs and scooters? (thanks wella )

I, I, I?
I, I, I?
I, I, I?
Keep fallin? Keep fallin? (bis x2)

Told me lately that you have been staring in the mirror - Don't you know that even Stevie Wonder sees things?

You told me that you love a pretty one with ebony eyes - Don't you know that even Stevie Wonder sees things?

Lately I've been staring in the mirror - Don't you ever wonder how the hell does Stevie Wonder see things?

Lately I've been staring in the mirror - Don't you ever wonder how the hell does Stevie Wonder see things?

April, the cruelest month
I reckon this much could be a contender
There's only so much sorrow a man can take
I cant change my face, Don't you remember

You know when I was on the road
That me and you was on the rocks, so low
Should never have got talkin' all that jive
Now theres only one way for me to stay alive

Drivin' in my Puegeot hey-ay, yay-ay
20 inch rims with the chrome now hey-ay, yay-ay
Blazin' out Yo La Tengo hey-ay, yay-ay
Drivin' round poppin' with the top down hey-ay, yay-ay

Drivin' in my Puegeot hey-ay, yay-ay
20 inch rims with the chrome now hey-ay, yay-ay
Blazin' out Yo La Tengo hey-ay, yay-ay
Drivin' round poppin' with the top down hey-ay, yay-ay

So long to contentendedness
I reckon next time I'll march in favor
So long I've felt a blessedness
No more is this a taste I want to savor

I Know how I dig you on
You can know only see, so far
But never was there more to say
Less, to do, before, turn away

Drivin' in my Puegeot hey-ay, yay-ay
20 inch rims with the chrome now hey-ay, yay-ay
Blazin' out Yo La Tengo hey-ay, yay-ay
Drivin' round poppin' with the top down hey-ay, yay-ay

All the people i love are here
all the people that i love can't hear
all the people i love are drunk
all the people that i love are here
all the people i love are here
all the people that i love come here
all the people i love are drunk
all the people that i think i am are drunk

all you have left is one kraft dinner
that i brought back for you last summer
all you have left is one reminder
of the time we spent when i spent
all you can taste is that one kraft dinner
that i prepared when your chances were slimmer
all you can hear is my refusal
cos i haven't got the time for a jerk-off loser
all you can hear is my refusal
cos i haven't got the time for a jack-your-body loser
all you can hear is my refusal
cos i haven't got the time for a jerk-off loser
all you can hear is my refusal
cos i haven't got the time for a jerk-off loser
no no no no, no more space or time
for last supper, baby baby
even if you prepare mine
and for...
i have not got the time, got the time, the time, the time

I'm sick of motherfuckers trying to tell me that they're down with Prince
I was just a baby when I heard him playing Vanity 6
And now it's such a ripoff got to get to my Electric Six
Show 'em how it's done I think you got to get shown up rich

Snare drums pound on the 2 and 4.
If you've got a kick drum get on the floor
... some more
All the ... get out the door
...
... if you know what I mean
...

Gettin' down with your royal badness

Been working night and day on my CV since I was seven years old
Didn't know a dollar from a sniff of your raspberry cologne
Ladies beg your pardon can I show no bitches good to go
Where were you ...


Snare drums pound on the 2 and 4.
If you've got a kick drum get on the floor
... some more
All the ... get out the door
...

Gettin' down with your royal badness

Who let you get on my train?
who let you pick up the blame?
who let the dogs out?
who's gonna clean up your mess?

fuck you
you fucking fuck
you ain't got nothing
bad, bad luck
bad luck, bad luck
bad luck, bad luck

bad luck you got in my ring
you dance like you've got
an unenviable case of ring sting
who let you get in my face?
i ain't gonna clean up your mess (bad luck)
who told you you could get on this stage?
all dressed up like you're in some kind of rage
all dressed up like you're from some other age

bet you thought you'd get away
didn't ya, didn't ya?
bet you thought you'd get away?
didn't ya, didn't ya?
bet you thought you'd hide from me?
didn't ya, didn't ya?
bet you thought you'd hide from me?
didn't ya, didn't ya?
(bet you thought you'd get away
didn't ya, didn't ya?...)
(bad luck, bad luck...)

Out on the nighthall road again
i'm leaving and turning upon a friend
please close the door, let us talk no more
it's out here i may find my reasons for
hanging and burning upon a tree
bicycle tyre to guide me
a light in the night i can't walk towards
the street has a dark end that's ours no more
a light in the night we can't walk towards
the street has a dark end that's ours no more

you ride, we ride, in my ride
in my ride, we ride
you ride, we ride, in my ride
in my ride, we ride

in my ride, we ride

out on the nighthall road again

I want a shining escalade
live my life a different way
ride round the block with you, my boo
always with you
a million others waited at my gate
we build the fences, now we can't escape
hide with me under the covers
cos you are my love

i want a shining s.u.v.
people see me differently
fly round the world with you, my boo
always with you
a million others waited at my gate
we build the fences, now we can't escape
hide with me under the covers
cos you are my love

of all the things i must do
there is only one that i will
i will give all of this to you
here it is, have your fill

my baby said she wanted some action
i said baby, i can't give you that
i'm a simple man
my baby said she wanted adventure
i said baby, the outside world's not safe
we should sit down
my baby said she wanted some action
i said baby, i can't give you that
i'm a simple man
my baby said she wanted adventure
i said baby, the outside world's not safe
we should sit down

i read all the time about how they fly
like children my mind is filled with playtime
but why must i go out into the cold?
my life is inside, we're safe, we can hide

Oh, i went up straight
oh, i went upstate
where i heard about a boy
a boy

calm and tranquil now
and we engineer
something open wide
some place people hide
i stare

makes me dream sometimes
makes me dream sometimes
i dream
i stare
i stare

and when your summer ends
when you're on your last legs
that time can't mend
will you still bring or fake a smile?
will we grant you the mercy and the love you require?
these are the things that i must abide
