Skunk Anansie Album

I awake, from blood thick dreams, washing blame, from my knees,
softly done, so secretly, I'm awake as charlie sleeps
a lone brother, a lone sister, a home cover, alone
I awake, dry the scream, spit the vile breath, till my tongue bleeds,
thinks it's all gone, famously, broke the hard girl, good to please
a lone brother, a lone sister, a home cover, alone
Tell it like it is, tell it like it is, tell the sordid truth,
tell them, tell it like it is, tell them.
a lone brother, a lone sister, a home cover, alone

I'll be your sailor girl
I'll tip my cap to your parade
Life won't be dreary no
I'll be the waves inside your bed

Pain is your beauty
It hurts the vision in our eyes
Your eyes are smiling now
They watch me cry, they watch me die, watch me die

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
My saviour, my darling

Your eyes seep through me
You think you hate the way I mince
I'm screwing yours dreams now
So cynical at your expense

Oh what a sacrifice
All of my dreams will melt away
So who's so special now
No one's more special, more than me, more than me

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
I can dream, I can dream
I can love, I can love

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

My darling, my saviour
My darling, my saviour
I'll tip my cap to your parade
Life won't be dreary no
I'll be the waves inside your bed

Pain is your beauty
It hurts the vision in your eyes
Your eyes are smiling now
They watch me cry, they watch me die, watch me die

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
My saviour, my darling

Your eyes seep through me
You think you hate the way I mince
I'm screwing yours dreams now
So cynical at your expense

Oh what a sacrifice
All of my dreams will melt away
So who's so special now
No one's more special, more than me, more than me

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
I can dream, I can dream
I can love, I can love

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

My darling, my saviour
My darling, my saviour

I hope you're feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all it seems
I wonder what you're doin' now
I wonder if you think of me at all
Do you still play the same moves now
Or are those special moods
For someone else
I hope you're feeling happy now

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right (oh no)
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight

Does laughter still discover you
I see through all those smiles
That look so right
Do you still have the same friends now
To smoke away your problems and your life
Oh how do you remember me
The one that made you laugh
Until you cried
I hope you're feeling happy now

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right (oh no)
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight
I want you

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right (oh no)
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight
I want you

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right (oh no)
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight
I want you

I wonder what you're doing now
I hope you're feeling happy now
I wonder what you're doing now
I hope you're feeling happy now

Make no mistake
Make no mistake
Make no mistake
I'm bringin'you fire

I still attend
I still attend
I still attend
The church of loose

I've got the chills
I got the chills
I got the chills
I am inspired

I feel the truth
I feel the truth
I feel the truth
Here in my bones, bones, bones, bones

We're Gonna Tear the Place Up Up Up Up
We're Gonna Tear the Place Up Up Up Up
You're gonna feel it in your Face Up Up Up Up
We're Gonna Tear the Place Up Up Up Up Up Up Up

Lost in time I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts so unkind
'cos I wanted you
And now I sit here I'm all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels deep in war
'cos I wanted you

Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am

So what am I now? I'm love's last hope
I'm all of the soft words I once owned
If I opened my heart, there'd be no space for air
'cos I wanted you

Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no one's fool
Weak as I am

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you?

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you?

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you?

Weak as I am, weak as I am,
Weak as I am, weak as I am, am, am

Weak as I am
Am I too much for you?
Weak as I am
Am I too much for you?
Weak as I am
Am I too much for you?
Weak as I am

I've been biding my time
Been so subtly kind
I've got to think so selfishly
'Cos you're the face inside of me

I've been biding my days
You see
Evidently it pays
I've been a friend with unbiased views
Then secretly lust after you

So now you feel rusty
You're bored and bemused
You wanna do someone else
So you should be by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly

Trying hard to think pure
Bloody hard when I'm raw
You're talking out so sexually
About boys and girls
And your friggin' dreams

So now you feel lusty you're hot and confused
You wanna do someone else
So you should be by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly

So now you've been busted
You're caught feeling used
You had to do, someone else
You should have been by yourself

You had to do, someone else

You should have been by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly, secretly.

Because of you
the tears dead in my eyes
they freeze until I'm blind
the eyes a gift from you

because of you
the scratches on my face
will never be erased
by someone else's warmth

because of you
the winter feeds my heart
while summer blows and burns
my disappearing youth

My looooove is gone
Never feel again
because of loooooove
I feeeeel nothing

because of you
I'll never feel again
the agony of pain
will never bruise or start

Because of you
our passion tends to lead
with all my lovers fate
with pieces from my heart

My loooove is done
never feeeeel again
because of looooove
I feeeeeeeel nothing

Because of looooove
I feeeeel nothing

because of you
because of you
because of looooooove
I feeeeeel nothing
because of looooooove
I feel nothing

all i want is a mirror
so i can see this so
called brighter day
i'm watching all the
world crawl back again
watching how it blows
itself away

that's all i want (x4)

all i want is destruction
wanna see it crumble
beneath my toes
smell the way my sore
eyes burn away
that's all i can have
today

all you want is to be me
so you can screw me up
and don't give a damn
('cos i'm a) crazy
little daisy to vile to
breathe
i'm everything you want
today

Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing

Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing

It's far beyond a star
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon

We'll meet I know we'll meet
Beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing

Together we'll be just you and me

i cried on my blood day
there was nothing that i could hold on to
just a line could have helped
remind me of you, of you
i screamed till the blood came
i was living in a cloud of hope
lover's kiss then they make a wish to the end
they pretend

'cause everyday hurts a little more
and everyday hurts a little more
and i'll do anything, yes i'll do anything
to belong to be strong
to say there's nothing wrong
everyday hurts a little more
yes everyday hurts a little more
and i'll be anything, yes i'll be anything
to belong to be strong
to say there's nothing wrong
everyday hurts
everyday hurts
everyday hurts

i cried in the sunlight
would i fake all the times i loved you
just a play in a game i twisted with you, with you
i need to believe you
sacrificed all the lies we made up
how we kissed
then we made our wish to the end
to the end

(repeat chorus)

time made me confide in you
so contrived were the words you sold me
now nothing can swallow
the feeling so shallow inside

(repeat chorus)

Why take everything you see?
You have nothing left to squander
If you keep pushing me away
You have no one left to love

You throw it all away
those ties you went and suffered for
you cause disaster
and flouder flouder flouder flouder

Why take everything you see?
You have nothing left to squander
If you keep pushing me away
You have no one left to do love

your less than you should be
why run so hard to finish last
you caused contendement
and i wonder wonder wonder wonder

Why take everything you see?
You have nothing left to squander
If you keep pushing me away
You have no one left to looooove, looooove
Why squander squander squander squander

Why take everything you see?
You have nothing left to squander
If you keep pushing me away
You'll have no one left to, no one left to love

Sometimes all the moments, that we savoured for the last,
get crushed between the good & bad, from pressures we have had,
but you know I can't conceive the day, when feeling run too high,
to work out all the stale terrain, emotions try to hide, when I try,
lately I can't seem to colour what we've lost, it all seems like bad means,
when lovers turn from lust, then I try - try to smoke alone
These shattered ties with no comprise, fall through this fragile hell,
the drinks stay sipped 'cos we've lost our grip, too exhausted to rebel, then i try
lately I can't seem to colour what we've lost, it all seems like bad means,
when lovers turn from lust, then I try - try to smoke alone

I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and
close to you

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

I...
I...

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
I knew that I'd lose you
Now you're here and begging
for a chance
But there's no way in hell
I'd take you back

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less

I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new
I'm looking for a new

We were the talk of the town
We were the talk of the town
We were the talk of the town
We were the talk of the town

I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special

Oh let's bomb the factory
That makes all the
wannabes
Let's burst all the bubbles
That brainwash the masses

As far as I can tell
It doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's
something worth fighting for
The color of an eye
The glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms
The smile he always shoots
at you

Believing in nothing
Makes life so boring
So let's pray for something
To feel good in the
morning

As far as I can tell
It doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's
something worth fighting for
The color of an eye
The glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms
The smile he always shoots
at you

We're dying
There's no use in crying
So live for tomorrow
And do what you have to

As far as I can tell
It doesn't matter who you are
If you can believe there's
something worth fighting for
The color of an eye
The glory of a sudden view
The baby in your arms
The smile he always shoots
at you

Oh let's pray for something
To feel good in the morning
In the morning

Survived, tonight, I may be going down,
'cuz everything goes round too, tight, tonight,
and as you watch me crawl, you stand for more.
and your panic stricken, blood will thicken up, tonight
'Cuz I don't want you, to forgive me,
you'll follow me down, you'll follow me down,
you'll follow me down
Survive tonight, (I see your) head's exposed,
so we shall kill, constructive might, its alright,
as your emotions fool you, (my) strong will rule,
and your panic stricken, blood will thicken up, tonight
'Cuz I don't want you, to forgive me,
you'll follow me down, you'll follow me down,
you'll follow me down

I won't feel restraint, watching you close sense down,
I can't compensate, that's more than I've got to give.
