Hot Chip Album

My friend once told me, something so right
He said to be careful of thieves in the night 'oh-whoa-whoa
Baby I've lost you here in the crowd
Open your arms I want to be found oh-whoa-whoa

Maybe I'm calling your name in the night
Open our eyes, we'll feel with our sight, oh-whoa-whoa

A want is a lie but also desire
A need can be nothing but should be held high, oh-whoa-whoa
A need is a want wearing disguise,
It can be confused and fuelled by desire, oh-whoa-whoa

Baby I'm calling your name in the night
The reason with need (?), look into my eyes

Happiness is what we all want
Making feelings(?) we don't always want
Happiness is what we all want
Making feelings we don't all want

My friend once told me, something so right
He said to be careful of bugs that don't bite, oh-whoa-whoa
My friend once told me, something so right
He said to be careful of thieves in the night, oh-whoa-whoa

Happiness is what we all want
Making feelings we don't always want
Happiness is what we all want
Making feelings we don't always want

Happiness is what we all want
Making feelings we don't always want
Happiness is what we all want
Making feelings we don't all want

Happiness is what we all want
Making feelings we don't always want
Happiness is what we all want
Making feelings we don't always want

Hand me down your love
Hand me down your love
Hand me down your love
Hand me down your love
Hand me down your love (When I'm feeling sick)
Hand me down your love
Hand me down your love (When i'm losing it)
Hand me down your love

Open up my love
Open up my love
Open up my love
Open up my love
Open up my love (When I'm feeling sick)
Open up my love
Open up my love (When i'm losing it)
Open up my love

I've known for a long time
You are my love life
Why can't I be bright like my lover's light?

Write me down my love
Write me down my love
Write me down my love
Write me down my love
Write me down your love (When I'm feeling sick)
Write me down your love
Write me down your love (When i'm losing it)
Write me down your love

I've known for a long time
You are my love life
So why can't I be bright like my lover's light?
I've known for a long time
You are my love life
So why can't I be bright like my lover's light?
I've known for a long time
You are my love life
So why can't I be bright like my lover's light?

She said: 'How did we get ourselves so lost?'
And I said: 'I don't know, but we will not be leaving tonight, tonight
When you hold me I, I feel better'

I only want one night, together in our arms
This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms

Nothing is wasted and life is worth living
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours
Nothing is wasted and life is worth living (I only want one night)
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing (This is the longest night)
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours

'And maybe if we'd never come this way
Then we would live and prosper
But I doubt it
We are a violent race
and we deserve what we get
When you hold me, when you hold me
I feel better, I feel better'

I only want one night, together in our arms (I feel better)
This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms (I feel better)
I only want one night, together in our arms (I feel better)
This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms

Nothing is wasted, a life is worth living
Heaven is nowhere just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours
Nothing is wasted and life is worth living
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours
Nothing is wasted, and life is worth living
(I only want one night, together in our arms)
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
(This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms)
Everything's nothing and nothing is ours
Nothing is wasted, a life is worth living
(I only want one night, together in our arms)
Heaven is nowhere, just look to the stars
There is a day that is yours for embracing
(This is the longest night, we're meeting arms to arms)
Everything's nothing, and nothing is ours

Tell me where you've been to
Nowhere that you shouldn't do
tell me what you're good for
I can tell you something too
Where have you been staying
tell me what you're playing
Hope its not my conscious
You will always be my baby

(Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand
(Keep on feeling)
Tell me do you stand by your whole man
(repeat)

Wishes keep remaining
Nothing will contain it
A baloon where they're escapin'
Theres nothing but a play thing
Moments keep us guessing
And lead us from temptation
But better to embrace them
And measure our relation

(Keep on feeling)
I only wanna be your one life stand
(Keep on feeling)
Tell me do you stand by your whole man
(repeat)

Brothers, I can take it if I know I'll see my brother
And just step back when I'm dancing with my brother is dancing with me
Brothers, I would give my life for my brothers
When we're driving and its late with my brother sat next to me

It's a wild love I have
it's a wild love that I have
it's a wild love I have
it's a wild love that I have for my brothers, for my brother

Brothers, I can play 'Xbox' with my brother
It's not about who won or lost with my brother
We play to be free
Brothers, I will drink my fill with my brothers,
And if one of us is ill then my brothers will watch over me

It's a wild love I have
It's a wild love that I have
It's a wild love I have
It's a wild love that I have for my brothers, for my brother

Brothers, when will we be three again my brothers?
The way we used to be again my brothers?
Now I bounce you on my knee again, my brother
We should be together now my brothers
There's four of us and what is more my brothers, my brothers, my brothers

It's a wild love I have
It's a wild love that I have
It's a wild love I have
It's a wild love that I have for my brothers, for my brother
It's a wild love I have
It's a wild love that I have
It's a wild love I have
It's a wild love that I have for my brothers, for my brother

What is the answer?
Though you know, we'd all like to know
What is your reason?
Oh I know we'd all love to know
Though there is nothing else left in our heart

What was your question?
Though I know, we'd all love to hear
What were you thinking?
I know that hurt (?) with the people of the earth(?)
Though there is nothing else left in our hearts

Now that we're older
There's more that we must do
With songs that we remember
Remember, my love is with you

What is the question?
Oh I know, we'd all love to hear
The more I see this
I have to wonder, are we all but queer (?)
Now there is nothing left in our hearts

Now that we're older
There's more that we must do
With songs to remember
Remember, my love is with you

Now that we're older
There's more that we must do
With songs to remember
Remember, my love is with you

Don't I know there is a God
Don't I know there is a God
Now I know there is a God, in your heart.
Don't I know there is a God
Don't I know there is a God
Now I know there is a God, in your heart.
Now I know there is a God.
Don't I know there is a God.
Don't I know there is a God, in your heart.

Two people are alley cats
We have an unhappy cat
He is restless, needs attention, loses patience, seeks affection
Monkey grooms, blossom blooms
Do you dig germs, The Germs?

Well we wear each other's heads like hats
Speak in tongues like alley cats
Cradle them in both our laps
When we lie alone

Wear each others heads like hats
Speak in tongues like alley cats
Cradle them in both our laps
And we die alone

Well we sleep inside a blanket-y bed
Planted like the crocuses
In the song my mother said
She wanted us to sing

We sleep inside a blanket-y bed
Planted like the crocuses
And I wish my mother could
See the ring I got

Oh oh there is no pain I know...

The other night you said you might try to kill that thing I love
It is too strong for you, it is encased in glass and stone
The other night you said you might try to kill that thing I love
It is invincible, it is encased in glass and stone
You painted a song, you painted a song
It started when I was young and now it is in my lung
You painted a song, you painted a song
It started when I was young and now it is in my lung

Two people are alley cats
We have an unhappy cat
He is restless, needs attention, loses patience, seeks affection
Monkey grooms, blossom blooms
'Do You Dig Worms?' The worms?

We have love
We have love
We have love
We have love

We have love, give it up, give it up
There is nothing else to be proud of

We have lost nothing
Keep that thought firm in your mind
When you look but you don't find what you can offer
We have lost nothing
I keep that thought firm in my mind
When I look but I don't find what I can offer
I don't always know what it is you mean to show
But I keep it close to mine and we discover

We have love, give it up, give it up
There is nothing else to be proud of
We have love, give it up, give it up
There is nothing else to be proud of

We have love
We have love
We have love
We have love

I thought my heart was damaged
I thought my heart was strong
A thought is nothing damaged
A thought is nothing wrong

I see it in my care for you
I see it in my care for you

We have love - I see it in my care for you - give it up, give it up
There is nothing else to be proud of - I see it in my care for you
We have love - I see it in my care for you - give it up, give it up
There is nothing else to be proud of - I see it in my care for you

When the wind dies down and the howling stops
The hurting starts, then I hear your name
In this quiet time, this aching time
I can hear your fingers on the window pane

If I was in the dark, if I was in the light
If we were walking through the forests of the night together
If we were taken down, down into the heart
Of the blackest night where we could sleep forever

Keep quiet, I hear you
Keep quiet, I hear you

When you sing, I think I know more than I hear you speak
I have to keep it close enough to me
'Cause I don't want to disrupt all you think
And I don't want to disturb what we keep quiet

Baby, with these open arms I pray, I will not see the day without you
Homeless is the driving wind and
I will run away with him without you, without you
Without you, without you
Without you

When you sing, I have to keep it close just as a hymn
And in your breath I know just what you sing
And spoken words might not be what we speak
'Cause in our lungs there's something that we keep quiet

The wheel of fortune stops at 6 o'clock
So what am I to do until midnight?
An hourglass may grab my attention
But I am in the need of reflection

And oh-oh, my heart has flown to you just like a dove
It can fly, it can fly
And oh-oh, please take my heart and keep it close to you
Take it in, take it in

My heart attack abates after midnight
But I was in the need of attention
Surgery ablaze in the half light
But then I was no more than a phantom

And oh-oh my heart has flown to you just like a dove
It can fly, it can fly
And oh-oh please take my heart and keep it close to you
Take it in, take it in
(repeat)

And oh-oh my heart has flown to you just like a dove
It can fly, it can fly
And oh-oh please take my heart and keep it close to you
Take it in, take it in
