The Cribs Lyrics
Back In Your Arms lyrics - Marc Broussard
(originally by Bruce Springsteen)
In my dream my love was lost
I lived by luck and faith
I carried you inside of me
Prayed it wouldn't be too late
Now I'm standing on this empty road
Where nothing moves but the wind
And honey I just want to be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
You said once I was your treasure
And I saw your face in every star
The promises we make at night
Oh that's all they are
Unless we fill them with faith and love
They're as empty as the howling wind
Now darling I just want to be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
You came to me with love and kindness
But all my life I've been a prisoner of my own blindness
I met you with indifference
And I don't know why
Now I wake from my dream
I wake from my dream to this world
Where all this shadow and darkness is
And a dark sky unfurls
And all the love I've thrown away and lost
Honey I'm longing for again
Now there's nothing I wouldn't do if I could be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms...
Fire lyrics - Marc Broussard
I don't need know where
You came from girl
'Cause it wouldn't change the way I feel
Ever since you walked in the room
I've been trying to find out your deal
I swear I've never, never felt like this before
They can take my treasure, Cause it's you that I adore
Oh now, now babe you light my
Fire, with your love I never get tired
Babe you got me buzzing like a wire
Don't you ever cut it
'Cause your lovin is the stuff I need
I've never seen such a beautiful thing
Than when you just walk right past
Give me a clue to whether me and you
Can get started and make it last
Friends say I'm lonely
That I'm waiting for a day that won't come
But if they only
Could see I've found the one
'Cause now, now babe you light my
Fire, with your love I never get tired
Babe you got me buzzing like a wire
Don't you ever cut it
'Cause your lovin is the stuff I need
The stuff I need
You know not to play with fire
But I'm burning with desire
Your wish is my command
I am your fireman
You light my fire
My fire
Oh, my fire
Oh, my fire
Oh, my baby, my fire
With your love I never get tired
Babe you got me buzzing like a wire
Don't you ever cut it
'Cause your lovin is the stuff I need
I'm on fire
With your love I never get tired
Babe you got me buzzing like a wire
Don't you ever cut it
'Cause your lovin is the stuff I need
The stuff I need
Yeah, yeah
Ah
I'm on fire
Mood lyrics - Marc Broussard
I don't wanna believe that you'd ever do something
But I can't lie to what my eyes reveal
If you my dear would you please start talking
Cuz I can't abide what we have here
Said the dirt on your hands
Is more than I can stand from you
There's something your about your mood too
There's something about your mood
There's something about your mood
There's something about you...
I gotta know, I gotta know
There's something about your mood
I don't mean to be rude
But there's just something about your mood
There's something about your mood
You say that I'm reading situations
And coming out wrong [?]
We'll I don't need these complications
Cuz what you've done to me should be a crime
The sweat on your clothes
Says all I need to know about you
There's something about your mood
There's something about your mood
There's something about your mood
What are you try to do?
There's something about you...
I gotta know
There's something about your mood
What am I to conclude?
When there's just something about your mood
There's something about your mood...
Hoping it's just a mood
I don't need your attitude
Don't make me out the fool
Pardon me, but there is something about your mood
There's something about your mood
[?]
There's something about you...
There's something about your mood
I don't mean to be rude
But there's just something about you...
There's something about your mood
Please Come Home For Christmas lyrics - Marc Broussard
(originally by Charles Brown)
Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please, come home for Christmas
Please, come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Year's night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
Yes, this is Christmas, yes, Christmas, my dear
The time of year to be with the one you love
So won't you tell me, you'll never more roam
Christmas and New Year's will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
Oh, there'll no more sorrow, no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, Christmas once again
Eat Me lyrics - The Cribs
Eat me, I've got time to waste
Eat me, I'm a man of taste
I'm fading in your point of view
No manners, you make me puke
It's too easy to release endorphins
Micro-manage every single portion
A thought in a reptilian brain
A soul mate with hose-like veins
So eat me, 'cos I've got time to waste
Eat me, I'm a man of taste
I'm fading in your point of view
No manners…
I'm a dog bone, I'm a piece of meat
So eat me, 'cos I still believe
All of the clichés and all of the hate
Has served this to me on a plate
The walk home, the faded floor
The porch light, the bathroom door
Pupils dilating I'm losing the light
Seeing things in black and white
So eat me, 'cos I've got time to waste
Eat me, I'm a man of taste
I'm fading in your point of view
No manners, you make me puke
So eat me and you'll survive the winter
A distorted view like the hall of mirrors
A thought in a reptilian brain
You've no manners…
Fairer Sex lyrics - The Cribs
What happens when the fairer sex
Becomes unfair, whatever next?
And all the time I felt the same about you
Was never in your hall of fame
And it was pretty rude
With talk of flames tattoos
I don't think that's cool
And the cards played by you
Sexually alludes
With talk of his bathroom
I had a friend I couldn't help
I'm sorry my friend I can't help myself
If I could save the world I would
But no-one seems to give a fuck
And the cards played by you
Sexually alludes
With talk of his bathroom
What happens when the fairer sex
Treats you unfair, whatever next?
Fevers And Seizures lyrics - The Cribs
Said and done, yeah I know
Said and done, yeah I know
And I know that what they said was wrong
Said and done, yeah I know
Said and done, yeah I know
And I know that what they said was wrong
You see I know you too well you don't think I do but...
Why do you always have a seizure
Every time that you see her?
They always come along in threes yeah, that's the time to be free yeah!
Said and done, yeah I know
Said and done, yeah I know
And I know that what they said was wrong
You see I know you too well you don't think I do but...
Why do you always have a seizure
Every time that you see her?
I know you do really but...oh oh
They always come along in threes yeah, that's the time to be free yeah!
And when you're wanting some
I guess you're feeling dumb
Why do you always have a seizure
Every time that you see her?
They always come along in threes yeah, that's the time to be free yeah!
Finger-Nailed For You lyrics - The Cribs
(originally by Comet Gain)
I like the warm nights, I like the rain fall
I like it best when it used to be
Some pretty somewhere, where we'll share
A mixtape and a cigarette
If I could cuddle up your lies
Still finger-nailed for you
I like the photograph of the photographs
And the tough teeth of Mexico
I like the short breath before the big rest
Although I never let it go
If I could cuddle up your lies
Still finger-nailed for you
Still finger-nailed for you
I like the warm nights, I like the rain fall
I like it best when it used to be
Some pretty somewhere, where we'll share
A mixtape and a cigarette
If I could cuddle up your lies
Still finger-nailed for you
Still finger-nailed for you
Get Yr Hands Out Of My Grave lyrics - The Cribs
Does absence make the heart grow fonder
Or does time heal all?
It's a hard question to ask
On a long-distance call
While beaten by selfish urges
My mind recalls
The cheated, the blind
The most virtuous of all
The lines of battle
Could've been drawn two years ago
But where were you?
Get your hands out of my grave
There is no future
There is just one long past
But I won't cry
I'll pretend like I don't mind
Does absence make the heart grow fonder
Or does time heal all?
It's a hard question to ask
On a long-distance call
While beaten by selfish urges
My mind recalls
The cheated, the blind
The most virtuous of all
The only message
Is the one that never gets through
It's only lies
Seems to me it's only lies
You were drawn to me
But I'll never be drawn to you
And you know why...
Get your hands out of my grave
Glandular Fever Got The Best Of Me lyrics - The Cribs
It was half my life ago
I was drinking out in the snow
And the next day I was weak as a kitty
Glandular fever got the best of me
I had my first real girlfriend
It felt so nice to be loved again
Maybe that's why I got the kissing disease?
Glandular fever got the best of me
Sleeping 'cos there's nothing else to do
At least I didn't have to go to school, oh no…
Yeah I was listening to Pinkerton
Mine sweeping 'round all the pubs
It was a whole new way of life to me but then
Glandular fever got the best of me
Yep
It was half my life ago
I'd been drinking out in the snow
And now it's left me with the curse of apathy
Glandular fever got the best of me
Happy Is Just A State Of Mind, And A State Of Mind Is Just Electrical Impulses lyrics - The Cribs
Happy's just a state of mind
And a state of mind is just electrical impulses
So don't base your life
On something you can't control
You always try to control it
But it's just so hard to do
So forget about it and live your life
Cool
Sad is just a state of mind
And a state of mind is just electrical impulses
So don't base your life
On something you can't control
You always try to control it
But it's just so hard to do
So forget about it and live your life
Cool
I Gotta Go To L.A. lyrics - The Cribs
"I gotta go to L.A., see a Hollywood producer"
I had a date for the last hour on earth
I See Your Pictures Every Day lyrics - The Cribs
Without the chain around your neck
No-one knows of the love that you've known
How can I forget, I see your pictures every day
Reduced to simple features like you've accepted your fate
What if they loved you the best
And wrote it in cursive so you don't forget?
Wandered so far that you don't know
How you're ever getting back
Until the call up I'm not losing hope
Do you even have to ask?
And now that your shackles did break
Will you chase me through empty dreamscapes?
Though you're getting further, I see your pictures every day
Nothing really changes just more washed out and grey
What if they loved you the best
And wrote it in cursive so you can't forget?
Wandered so far that you don't know
How you're ever getting back
Well call me naive but I'm not losing hope
This one's for all of Portland's missing cats
I Was Her Man, But I Done Her Wrong lyrics - The Cribs
I know a girl from a nowhere town
She loves no-one more than me
She likes to pretend and to make believe
For as far as the eye can see
And I was her man but I done her wrong
And if you'd seen what I've seen a million times before
It'd make your heart stand still
And I was her man but I done her wrong
But if you live a sound life abstinent and wise
It makes your heart stand still anyway
I know a girl comes from nowhere town
She gives me everything I need
Sometimes things work out just like you dreamed
Inside the window steams
Outside freezing grey, broad daylight, freezing grey
I was her man but I done her wrong
And if you'd seen what I'd seen a million times before
It'd make your heart stand still
Well I was her man but I done her wrong
But if you live a sound life abstinent and wise
It makes your heart stand still anyway
