Finally Free lyrics - The Cribs
The necklace that brought to be free
I sell myself, you change me
But we all moved on
And I did try to keep my will strong
So why do I still dream of your house?
I can't go, throwing up the side out
And the pavement, of the street looks all odd
It still feels it's the place I belong
Stand out while we're free
Well, it come back to me
Now I want it, again
It's what, it's what, it's what, it's what
It's what, it's what I want
Even that's wrong, the freedom
Watch the feel once pull
Before it falls
Been wrong for long
Convinced too that wasn't something
It was just my own
Now I'm finally free
But why all it comes back to me?
Now I want it, again
It's what, it's what, it's what, it's what
It's what, it's what I want
I don't know what to think
Just know it's everything
Plastic lets me, no matter where we're in
Just want you that show the person
Sat next to me, oho
That I never know, yeah!
Now I'm finally free
But why all it comes back to me?
Now I want it, again
It's what, it's what, it's what, it's what
It's what, it's what I want
I sell myself, you change me
But we all moved on
And I did try to keep my will strong
So why do I still dream of your house?
I can't go, throwing up the side out
And the pavement, of the street looks all odd
It still feels it's the place I belong
Stand out while we're free
Well, it come back to me
Now I want it, again
It's what, it's what, it's what, it's what
It's what, it's what I want
Even that's wrong, the freedom
Watch the feel once pull
Before it falls
Been wrong for long
Convinced too that wasn't something
It was just my own
Now I'm finally free
But why all it comes back to me?
Now I want it, again
It's what, it's what, it's what, it's what
It's what, it's what I want
I don't know what to think
Just know it's everything
Plastic lets me, no matter where we're in
Just want you that show the person
Sat next to me, oho
That I never know, yeah!
Now I'm finally free
But why all it comes back to me?
Now I want it, again
It's what, it's what, it's what, it's what
It's what, it's what I want
Different Angle lyrics - The Cribs
So just give me a chance, you know I never wanted one
You and I are seriously outnumbered
Meet me outside we’ll run away like we’re kids
Bonnie and Clyde or something just as stupid
Your scars are just a kiss from a past mistress
Across a crowded room I’m whispering something and
Only you can understand me
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
I don’t have much time, like a butterfly
Only one night to try and change my life
Let’s get out of here, head to the city
We walk through the streets jangling your keys
Somedays I feel like I’m made out of glass
I think I’m better off just keeping my distance
‘Cos maybe they can see right through me?
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
Soul with sutures
Redeeming features
Don’t wanna feel it
It’s a one way feeling so I’ve got it all
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
You and I are seriously outnumbered
Meet me outside we’ll run away like we’re kids
Bonnie and Clyde or something just as stupid
Your scars are just a kiss from a past mistress
Across a crowded room I’m whispering something and
Only you can understand me
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
I don’t have much time, like a butterfly
Only one night to try and change my life
Let’s get out of here, head to the city
We walk through the streets jangling your keys
Somedays I feel like I’m made out of glass
I think I’m better off just keeping my distance
‘Cos maybe they can see right through me?
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
Soul with sutures
Redeeming features
Don’t wanna feel it
It’s a one way feeling so I’ve got it all
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
If you look at me from a different angle
Do you see something that you just can’t handle?
Burning For No One lyrics - The Cribs
Dancing on the screen, I still see you as
The star power you used to have
(Rose tinted romance)
Like a message from the past
Embarrassed though I am
I’ll still watch you through my hands
(It’s a healthy interest I’ll never have)
I’m feeling so eternally grateful
Now I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Being so denied
Burning for no one
I’m burning for no one
I guess I’ll be eternally grateful
Cos I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Hidden from your eyes
Burning for no one
I’m burning for no one
Projecting, yeah I guess
But I talk to those the best
Who’ll never hear me
(Rose tinted romance)
At the altar of your younger self
I’m left to tell your story
(It’s a healthy interest I’ll never have)
I’m feeling so eternally grateful
Now I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Being so denied
Burning for no one
I’m burning for no one
I guess I’ll be eternally grateful
Cos I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Searching for your eyes
Burning for no one
I’m burning for no one
The star power you used to have
(Rose tinted romance)
Like a message from the past
Embarrassed though I am
I’ll still watch you through my hands
(It’s a healthy interest I’ll never have)
I’m feeling so eternally grateful
Now I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Being so denied
Burning for no one
I’m burning for no one
I guess I’ll be eternally grateful
Cos I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Hidden from your eyes
Burning for no one
I’m burning for no one
Projecting, yeah I guess
But I talk to those the best
Who’ll never hear me
(Rose tinted romance)
At the altar of your younger self
I’m left to tell your story
(It’s a healthy interest I’ll never have)
I’m feeling so eternally grateful
Now I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Being so denied
Burning for no one
I’m burning for no one
I guess I’ll be eternally grateful
Cos I realise
Like a candle on a vacant table
Searching for your eyes
Burning for no one
I’m burning for no one
Mr. Wrong lyrics - The Cribs
It's not easy
But it's harder to just admit it
So it's all go through
But I don't need this
Or the mess I make
But I don't believe it
Cause I know I'll be safe by my own
Hand in hand, we will never understand
That all along, I was always Mr. Wrong
But I want you to believe that it's alright
I'm believing it's alright, when we've met
Even all these words, I know we all mean it
Spending all this time, cannot remake
Oh there's something else, think it reset
So I know I'll be safe by my own
Hand in hand, we will never understand
That all along, I was always Mr. Wrong
But I want you to believe that it's alright
I'm believing it's alright, when we've met
Just can't seem to see myself
Sleeping in the face that's forever
Even though it's dark down there
I'm growing into something weaker
Living on the side of it
Hand in hand, we will never understand
That all along, I was always Mr. Wrong
But I want you to believe that it's alright
I'm believing it's alright, when we've met
But it's harder to just admit it
So it's all go through
But I don't need this
Or the mess I make
But I don't believe it
Cause I know I'll be safe by my own
Hand in hand, we will never understand
That all along, I was always Mr. Wrong
But I want you to believe that it's alright
I'm believing it's alright, when we've met
Even all these words, I know we all mean it
Spending all this time, cannot remake
Oh there's something else, think it reset
So I know I'll be safe by my own
Hand in hand, we will never understand
That all along, I was always Mr. Wrong
But I want you to believe that it's alright
I'm believing it's alright, when we've met
Just can't seem to see myself
Sleeping in the face that's forever
Even though it's dark down there
I'm growing into something weaker
Living on the side of it
Hand in hand, we will never understand
That all along, I was always Mr. Wrong
But I want you to believe that it's alright
I'm believing it's alright, when we've met
An Ivory Hand lyrics - The Cribs
We were cut and smelled of petals
These scented promises had me
Thinking that I was special
For the new lease of life I had got
Oh no, woah oh
For a minute thought my heart had stopped
Oh no, woah oh
And the lessons that I had were lost
Know you gotta think about it
Let me hear the things I’m out to hear
Return to the scene of your glories
But not for the fame
To be stuck in the back sorting laundry
Of the same folks you can’t stand
Oh no, woah oh
What a waste for an ivory hand
Oh no, woah oh
Exquisitely shocked as I am
Know you gotta think about it
Let me hear the things I’m out to hear
See me like you do in memories
Of a time you barely knew me girl
Always walking through webs
See nostalgia as a threat
Do you still want it now we got it?
Know you gotta think about it
Let me hear the things I’m out to hear
See me like you do in memories
Of a time you barely knew me girl
These scented promises had me
Thinking that I was special
For the new lease of life I had got
Oh no, woah oh
For a minute thought my heart had stopped
Oh no, woah oh
And the lessons that I had were lost
Know you gotta think about it
Let me hear the things I’m out to hear
Return to the scene of your glories
But not for the fame
To be stuck in the back sorting laundry
Of the same folks you can’t stand
Oh no, woah oh
What a waste for an ivory hand
Oh no, woah oh
Exquisitely shocked as I am
Know you gotta think about it
Let me hear the things I’m out to hear
See me like you do in memories
Of a time you barely knew me girl
Always walking through webs
See nostalgia as a threat
Do you still want it now we got it?
Know you gotta think about it
Let me hear the things I’m out to hear
See me like you do in memories
Of a time you barely knew me girl
Simple Story lyrics - The Cribs
I know it's a simple story
But where you gonna hear another one just like this?
Another minute passing, waiting 'round for something to hit...
And then I start to exist, when you were looking for me
Why'd I have to leave and make you thought I'd run?
Maybe I need to be on something
To figure out just what all this means to me
I should have played her something
Shoulda said something then
But it's too late
I know it's a simple story
Gonna have to be a man someday
Let's start a vicious cycle
Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass
But then I disappear and I show up a few days later
With my foot in a trap
But it's only my heart that's bleeding
I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands
That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind
And heard the beat of the band
I know I give no reason to give me something old or give me something new
Why do I even need this?
Gonna have to do what I need to
Just like a teenage summer
The sun beats down and cracks the flags left and right
But it's not just the heat
My body and my head are full of things that keep me up on a night
Like it's only time and distance
You're in a black box and I can't even wait outside
You'll just have to tell me about it
Gonna have to sleep
It's too light...
Let's start a vicious cycle
Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass
But then I disappear and I show up a few days later
With my foot in a trap
But it's only my heart that's bleeding
I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands
That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind
And heard the beat of the band
I know it's just a feeling
Shouldn't even have these thoughts
But it's too late
I know it's a simple story
Gonna have to be a man someday
But where you gonna hear another one just like this?
Another minute passing, waiting 'round for something to hit...
And then I start to exist, when you were looking for me
Why'd I have to leave and make you thought I'd run?
Maybe I need to be on something
To figure out just what all this means to me
I should have played her something
Shoulda said something then
But it's too late
I know it's a simple story
Gonna have to be a man someday
Let's start a vicious cycle
Let me off the leash and watch me run in the grass
But then I disappear and I show up a few days later
With my foot in a trap
But it's only my heart that's bleeding
I'm howling at the moon just hoping someone understands
That I only came into season when I smelled the blood on the wind
And heard the beat of the band
I know I give no reason to give me something old or give me something new
Why do I even need this?
Gonna have to do what I need to
Just like a teenage summer
The sun beats down and cracks the flags left and right
But it's not just the heat
My body and my head are full of things that keep me up on a night

Gonna have to be a man someday
City Storms lyrics - The Cribs
There's some powers on the slide
I've been on worry side
But the pressure always ends
We've gone for hours now
Where every second counts
Cause I won't be around
For too long, oho
I'm scared of the truth
Oho, never heard my call
Stuck in the city storms
Oho, stuck in the city storms
Do you remember what it was like?
To be electric in the night
And the tears at the dawn
And the moments of calm
I hold you in my arms
But you went close back on
And what can we do
But talk about what it might
Be like when we're there
We change our tune
I'm scared of the truth
Oho, never heard my call
Stuck in the city storms
Oho, stuck in the city storms
I'm scared of the truth
Oho, never heard my call
Stuck in the city storms
Oho, stuck in the city storms
I've been on worry side
But the pressure always ends
We've gone for hours now
Where every second counts
Cause I won't be around
For too long, oho
I'm scared of the truth
Oho, never heard my call
Stuck in the city storms
Oho, stuck in the city storms
Do you remember what it was like?
To be electric in the night
And the tears at the dawn
And the moments of calm
I hold you in my arms
But you went close back on
And what can we do
But talk about what it might
Be like when we're there
We change our tune
I'm scared of the truth
Oho, never heard my call
Stuck in the city storms
Oho, stuck in the city storms
I'm scared of the truth
Oho, never heard my call
Stuck in the city storms
Oho, stuck in the city storms
Pacific Time lyrics - The Cribs
Forget this, this revery
It takes a foul to chop me
While most went unspoken
Pacific time's frozen
Maybe your silence will tell me what I need
Till I find what you're hiding from me
Maybe, the angels have got you too
I'm you can't say what you wanted to say
But we will always make it this way
You know
It's worth more than a heartbeat fades
A voice on, take all the
I recognise words for her
Not surprised though it's harder
Small shadow, and wasted under
Maybe your silence will tell me what I need
Till I find what you're hiding from me
Maybe, the angels have got you too
I'm you can't say what you wanted to say
But we will always make it this way
You know
It's worth more than a heartbeat fades
We're not found, sun it rise
Hate me, how should be
To make every woman me
We're not found, sun it rise
Hate me, how should be
To make every woman me
It takes a foul to chop me
While most went unspoken
Pacific time's frozen
Maybe your silence will tell me what I need
Till I find what you're hiding from me
Maybe, the angels have got you too
I'm you can't say what you wanted to say
But we will always make it this way
You know
It's worth more than a heartbeat fades
A voice on, take all the
I recognise words for her
Not surprised though it's harder
Small shadow, and wasted under
Maybe your silence will tell me what I need
Till I find what you're hiding from me
Maybe, the angels have got you too
I'm you can't say what you wanted to say
But we will always make it this way
You know
It's worth more than a heartbeat fades
We're not found, sun it rise
Hate me, how should be
To make every woman me
We're not found, sun it rise
Hate me, how should be
To make every woman me
Summer Of Chances lyrics - The Cribs
Forget the fix
Forget the false
Experts with all the answers
Was there something you
Wanted to ask?
In the summer of chances
If you thought you'd hurt her
Would you take it back?
Never get a chance if something ever happens
Yeah
Nature versus nurture
Which one is the stronger?
Are you living this way because you think you have to?
We're all seeing differently
You've come back for me
In the summer of chances
Which one, how it used to be
We won't be what we
In the summer of chances
Fell in love
With the sordid starts
Even though they make you crazy
In time it's true
You'll get something back
Of the time you were the leading lady
If you thought you'd hurt her
Would you take it back?
Never get a chance if something ever happens
Yeah
Nature versus nurture
Which one is the stronger?
Are you living this way because you think you have to?
We're all seeing differently
You've come back for me
In the summer of chances
Which one, how it used to be
We won't be what we
In the summer of chances
Forget the false
Experts with all the answers
Was there something you
Wanted to ask?
In the summer of chances
If you thought you'd hurt her
Would you take it back?
Never get a chance if something ever happens
Yeah
Nature versus nurture
Which one is the stronger?
Are you living this way because you think you have to?
We're all seeing differently
You've come back for me
In the summer of chances
Which one, how it used to be
We won't be what we
In the summer of chances
Fell in love
With the sordid starts
Even though they make you crazy
In time it's true
You'll get something back
Of the time you were the leading lady
If you thought you'd hurt her
Would you take it back?

Are you living this way because you think you have to?
We're all seeing differently
You've come back for me
In the summer of chances
Which one, how it used to be
We won't be what we
In the summer of chances
Diamond Girl lyrics - The Cribs
Underneath your rainbow
You bring me too my knees
You keep me up at midnight
Till the end of the day at least
You don't have to hear the blood screams
Of those living out their dreams
So it makes no sense to you
How they end up like they do
Like they do
Sometimes I wonder if I got you wrong
You don't have to agree
We're all as straight as you want us to
Diamond girl how did you get so free?
You're not as straight as they want you to be
Always be you and I'll always be me
We'll never be as straight as they want us to be
Got you wrong, you don't have to agree
Find me in the city where no one knows my name
We can pick up where we left off
I'm so happy that you came
Even in this body, no stones in my mind
Still the same as always
And I'll always be where you are
Oh where you are
Sometimes I wonder if I got you wrong
You don't have to agree
We're all as straight as you want us to
Diamond girl how did you get so free?
You're not as straight as they want you to be
Always be you and I'll always be me
We'll never be as straight as they want us to be
Got you wrong, you don't have to agree
Diamond girl how did you get so free?
Foil wrapped in a blister pack
Gotta get my freedom back
Foil wrapped in a blister pack
I have gotta get my freedom back
Sometimes I wonder if I got you wrong
You don't have to agree
We're all as straight as you want us to
Diamond girl how did you get so free?
You're not as straight as they want you to be
Always be you and I'll always be me
We'll never be as straight as they want us to be
Got you wrong, you don't have to agree
You bring me too my knees
You keep me up at midnight
Till the end of the day at least
You don't have to hear the blood screams
Of those living out their dreams
So it makes no sense to you
How they end up like they do
Like they do
Sometimes I wonder if I got you wrong
You don't have to agree
We're all as straight as you want us to
Diamond girl how did you get so free?
You're not as straight as they want you to be
Always be you and I'll always be me
We'll never be as straight as they want us to be
Got you wrong, you don't have to agree
Find me in the city where no one knows my name
We can pick up where we left off
I'm so happy that you came

We'll never be as straight as they want us to be
Got you wrong, you don't have to agree
Spring On Broadway lyrics - The Cribs
I know I could be right
But it's worth more than my life
Had to leave some time
Though it's not done yet
Replaced by passers by
I'm sure you'll forget
Sure that she's right
I just walked past her
Like spring on broadway
It don't matter
Oh hey
In my door, now the way
Never want to guard you
Don't be sad baby
You need which one to be
Never want to guard you
Don't be sad baby
You need which one to be
Never want to guard you
Don't be sad baby
You need which one to
And all these things I've missed
In the years I did exist
Don't ask me why
I'm feeling presence
Factions of the sky
My head went
Never felt so fine
Though I'm in a safe place
Spring on broadway, as I search for your face
I guess I'm just too late
Never want to guard you
Don't be sad baby
You need which one to be
Never want to guard you
Don't be sad baby
You need which one to be
Never want to guard you
Don't be sad baby
You need which one to
Pink Snow lyrics - The Cribs
But were you better on your own?
To all my sisters I promise you this that
I’ll try and be brave for you
I’ll try and be brave for you
You’re sitting behind those walls
No one to visit, head full of regret
And sometimes I forget too
And you don’t even have a clue
Were you better on your own?
To all my sisters I promise you this that
I’ll try and be brave for you
I’ll try and be brave for you...yeah
As someone you’ll never know
Do you picture me alone?
Now the bird that sung has flown
Do you picture me alone?
[x2]
But were you better on your own?
To all my sisters I promise you this that
I’ll try and be brave for you
I’ll try and be brave for you
And maybe I’ll never know
But something tells me that somewhere in Maryland
A cherry blossom grows
Bury me with pink snow
Were you better on your own?
To all my sisters I promise you this that
I’ll try and be brave for you
I’ll try and be brave for you...yeah
As someone you’ll never know
Do you picture me alone?
Now the bird that sung has flown
Do you picture me alone?
[x2]
But were you better on your own?
To all my sisters I promise you this that
I’ll try and be brave for you
I’ll try and be brave for you
Brave for you
Bury me with pink snow...
To all my sisters I promise you this that
I’ll try and be brave for you
I’ll try and be brave for you
You’re sitting behind those walls
No one to visit, head full of regret
And sometimes I forget too
And you don’t even have a clue
Were you better on your own?
To all my sisters I promise you this that
I’ll try and be brave for you
I’ll try and be brave for you...yeah
As someone you’ll never know
Do you picture me alone?
Now the bird that sung has flown
Do you picture me alone?
[x2]
But were you better on your own?
To all my sisters I promise you this that
I’ll try and be brave for you
I’ll try and be brave for you
And maybe I’ll never know
But something tells me that somewhere in Maryland
A cherry blossom grows
Bury me with pink snow
Were you better on your own?
To all my sisters I promise you this that
I’ll try and be brave for you
I’ll try and be brave for you...yeah
As someone you’ll never know
Do you picture me alone?
Now the bird that sung has flown
Do you picture me alone?
[x2]
But were you better on your own?
To all my sisters I promise you this that
I’ll try and be brave for you
I’ll try and be brave for you
Brave for you
Bury me with pink snow...
Glitters Like Gold lyrics - The Cribs
It's so strange seeming
Like a friend's mother's perfume
That you can be what you want.
Anointed genius, poets, good fucks
Yeah you can be what you want
Anyway
Getting the feeling, spent all my splendour long ago
And though I rarely see it
Your other side glitters like gold.
It never shows that my
Mind will always fight me
With both sides claiming victory
Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
Vanity dance around me
Whatever you think about me
I'm the whale beneath the ship
Who would ever believe me?
Should I say something?
It seems they'd like me better
If I just sing nonsense
Anyway
Never written honest, though sometimes I think I should
But to share these feelings
Would only hurt the ones I love.
They know enough that my
Mind will always fight me
With both sides claiming victory
Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
Vanity dance around me
Whatever you think about me
I'm the whale beneath the ship
Who would ever believe me?
I guess I got what you wanted
A naive streak that I won't shake
Keeps me cold
My mind will always fight me
With both sides claiming victory
Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
Vanity dance around me
Whatever you think about me
I'm not half the kid I used to be
Who would ever believe me?
Like a friend's mother's perfume
That you can be what you want.
Anointed genius, poets, good fucks
Yeah you can be what you want
Anyway
Getting the feeling, spent all my splendour long ago
And though I rarely see it
Your other side glitters like gold.
It never shows that my
Mind will always fight me
With both sides claiming victory
Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
Vanity dance around me
Whatever you think about me
I'm the whale beneath the ship
Who would ever believe me?
Should I say something?
It seems they'd like me better
If I just sing nonsense
Anyway
Never written honest, though sometimes I think I should
But to share these feelings
Would only hurt the ones I love.
They know enough that my
Mind will always fight me
With both sides claiming victory
Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
Vanity dance around me
Whatever you think about me
I'm the whale beneath the ship
Who would ever believe me?
I guess I got what you wanted
A naive streak that I won't shake
Keeps me cold
My mind will always fight me
With both sides claiming victory
Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
Vanity dance around me
Whatever you think about me
I'm not half the kid I used to be
Who would ever believe me?
Come On, Be A No-One lyrics - The Cribs
Come on, I'll be a no one
New way
Got you wrong, it's not your fault
Sometimes I'd rather be a cheat
You can't keep circling me
Case I'm trying so hard to win joy every minute
Serious we are really well
We don't need you like a hole in the head
Come on, I'll be a no one
New way
Pay all the greatest sorrow
New way
Shooting star, change of heart
Something that you rarely see
Smell the lilies on me
Oh yeah
Wrong side, color inclined
That calls be...
Serious we are really well
We don't need you like a hole in the head
Come on, I'll be a no one
New way
Pay all the greatest sorrow
New way
New way
New way
Got you wrong, it's not your fault
Sometimes I'd rather be a cheat
You can't keep circling me
Case I'm trying so hard to win joy every minute
Serious we are really well
We don't need you like a hole in the head
Come on, I'll be a no one
New way
Pay all the greatest sorrow
New way
Shooting star, change of heart
Something that you rarely see
Smell the lilies on me
Oh yeah
Wrong side, color inclined
That calls be...
Serious we are really well
We don't need you like a hole in the head
Come on, I'll be a no one
New way
Pay all the greatest sorrow
New way
New way
Jaded Youth lyrics - The Cribs
You knew what to make
But I’d listen to you’d say
Just like money in my wallet
I got bruises on my knees
Without your mad thoughts
The point
Was lost
Our jaded youth
To talk these words that they
So say you reach down at the end of my sleeve
The bird curse the days I’ve got her
It’s playing on my mind
If I went back to school
Would I feel peal?
I’ll go
Like the time that you were told
The young people fucked you hoe
Die in hell and fuckin’ basher
I’ve got nowhere to go
Since a long long time ago
Since I was looking for a piece of the action
You’d be the one to make
I never looked to a word you said
Just like money in my wallet
I got bruises on my knees
Without your mad thoughts
The point
Was lost
Our jaded youth
Like the time that you were told
The young people fucked you hoe
Die in hell and fuckin’ basher
I’ve got nowhere to go
Since a long long time ago
Since I was looking for a piece of the action
Our jaded youth, yea
And I need time
Or a tunnel walk these words
A sick song heard at the lost and found, yea
You would love them hard
Like the time that you were told
The young people fucked you hoe
Die in hell and fuckin’ basher
I’ve got nowhere to go
Since a long long time ago
Since I was looking for a piece of the action
Our jaded youth, fuckin’ whore
The truth, yea
But I’d listen to you’d say
Just like money in my wallet
I got bruises on my knees
Without your mad thoughts
The point
Was lost
Our jaded youth
To talk these words that they
So say you reach down at the end of my sleeve
The bird curse the days I’ve got her
It’s playing on my mind
If I went back to school
Would I feel peal?
I’ll go
Like the time that you were told
The young people fucked you hoe
Die in hell and fuckin’ basher
I’ve got nowhere to go
Since a long long time ago
Since I was looking for a piece of the action
You’d be the one to make
I never looked to a word you said
Just like money in my wallet
I got bruises on my knees
Without your mad thoughts
The point
Was lost
Our jaded youth
Like the time that you were told
The young people fucked you hoe
Die in hell and fuckin’ basher
I’ve got nowhere to go
Since a long long time ago
Since I was looking for a piece of the action
Our jaded youth, yea
And I need time
Or a tunnel walk these words
A sick song heard at the lost and found, yea
You would love them hard
Like the time that you were told
The young people fucked you hoe
Die in hell and fuckin’ basher
I’ve got nowhere to go
Since a long long time ago
Since I was looking for a piece of the action
Our jaded youth, fuckin’ whore
The truth, yea
Anna lyrics - The Cribs
Anna, you ever wonder why I’m here?
To sit and call the girl queen’s man
Is it awkward?
Or our fake friends
Some of the spaces before
Ashore
And I was only asking for what I knew is mine
And I was only asking for what I knew is mine
But I could never ask for what is that not right
But I would always ask for
Anna, I know you worry
Whatever
I think I'll do it all tonight
You can’t play right
By the way
I’m kicking the signs off the stone
the stone oh oh
And I was only asking for what I knew is mine
And I was only asking for what I knew is mine
But I could never ask for what is that not right
But I would always ask for her
I’m right with who I’d wanna be
so what made you change?
Oh oh wait , I'm not yet who I want to be
So what made you change?
To sit and call the girl queen’s man
Is it awkward?
Or our fake friends
Some of the spaces before
Ashore
And I was only asking for what I knew is mine
And I was only asking for what I knew is mine
But I could never ask for what is that not right
But I would always ask for
Anna, I know you worry
Whatever
I think I'll do it all tonight
You can’t play right
By the way
I’m kicking the signs off the stone
the stone oh oh
And I was only asking for what I knew is mine
And I was only asking for what I knew is mine
But I could never ask for what is that not right
But I would always ask for her
I’m right with who I’d wanna be
so what made you change?
Oh oh wait , I'm not yet who I want to be
So what made you change?
Confident Men lyric - The Cribs
It was a purry scurry fruit
What did I do?
I signed all and more I didn’t approve
Although I move I
But that is something I just can’t pretend
I’m feeling better that I won’t confess
Our ways we need the end
Our ways
Burning two suns like you knowingly
More than I should
E-mail’s the trail we both receive
More than I would
They want excuses for the things I never did
I may have kissed but the moon will shine
What you know, I can
No way
It’s spinning with waltz and I find out something
That he wanted two of you
He was a go
The e-mail we drown and both receive
For your own good
I’ll tell you something I just can’t pretend
I’m feeling better that I won’t confess
What can we aim react
But wait
I wait
What did I do?
I signed all and more I didn’t approve
Although I move I
But that is something I just can’t pretend
I’m feeling better that I won’t confess
Our ways we need the end
Our ways
Burning two suns like you knowingly
More than I should
E-mail’s the trail we both receive
More than I would
They want excuses for the things I never did
I may have kissed but the moon will shine
What you know, I can
No way
It’s spinning with waltz and I find out something
That he wanted two of you
He was a go
The e-mail we drown and both receive
For your own good
I’ll tell you something I just can’t pretend
I’m feeling better that I won’t confess
What can we aim react
But wait
I wait
Uptight lyrics - The Cribs
Tonight it seems unsure
If I’d made it up but then
We got nine hours or more
It makes no difference
Cos that thought drifts right in
On a Foehn wind
And tries to take me back
So I might have to go
Oh no
No-one has to tell me
I know I have to let it go
But it’s so nice
Being uptight
So sorry that I never will be
the kind of guy you’d like
but it’s so nice
Being uptight
Been treated like a sister
but here’s something she don’t know
In her basement hangs a picture
that fucked my heart up
A memory takes my hand
a real gentleman
in every way but one
that I don’t wanna know
Oh no
No-one has to tell me
I know I have to let it go
but it’s so nice
Being uptight
So sorry that I never will be
the kind of guy you’d like
but it’s alright
being uptight
Got a name, all that remains
some day you know this back will break
We’re not a million miles away
Some day you know this back will break
If I’d made it up but then
We got nine hours or more
It makes no difference
Cos that thought drifts right in
On a Foehn wind
And tries to take me back
So I might have to go
Oh no
No-one has to tell me
I know I have to let it go
But it’s so nice
Being uptight
So sorry that I never will be
the kind of guy you’d like
but it’s so nice
Being uptight
Been treated like a sister
but here’s something she don’t know
In her basement hangs a picture
that fucked my heart up
A memory takes my hand
a real gentleman
in every way but one
that I don’t wanna know
Oh no
No-one has to tell me
I know I have to let it go
but it’s so nice
Being uptight
So sorry that I never will be
the kind of guy you’d like
but it’s alright
being uptight
Got a name, all that remains
some day you know this back will break
We’re not a million miles away
Some day you know this back will break
Chi-Town lyrics - The Cribs
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Forget the airport and cut my hair short
Eat cookies and cream from the store at the end of the street,
There's so much junk in my head, will I only be here when you're dead?
But I'll still think of you to take it out on myself.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
At the end of the rainbow, I took a photo
At my [?] do you call that [?] show I want
These things, I was here and now I know I won't return
But still I think of you and to take it out on everyone else.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Forget the airport and cut my hair short
Eat cookies and cream from the store at the end of the street,
There's so much junk in my head, will I only be here when you're dead?
But I'll still think of you to take it out on myself.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
At the end of the rainbow, I took a photo
At my [?] do you call that [?] show I want
These things, I was here and now I know I won't return
But still I think of you and to take it out on everyone else.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Pure O lyrics - The Cribs
Pure O
You had me hurting
You should know that
I was certain in my head
When you know, you know
I can’t change
God-damn the times I thought of nothing
but the things I couldn’t prove
So perfect in my devising
I load it all on you
and your lonely heart, under pressure
a petal in a book
I carry this around, for luck
Cos I’ve got something I can’t say
Pure O
You have me hurting
You should know that
I was certain in my head
When you know, you know
and that’s the main thing
You should know that
I was certain in my head
Protect me still my treasured secret
In ways misunderstood
She keeps me still with over-thinking
I’d love to hold you but
My hands were tied so the chance was wasted
the thousandth never took
I carry this around
Cos I’ve got something I cant say
Pure O, oh I have wasted
So many years just on the same trip
Late night favour
Yeah I was nervous
that she don’t know yet
if I was only part-time
You had me hurting
You should know that
I was certain in my head
When you know, you know
I can’t change
God-damn the times I thought of nothing
but the things I couldn’t prove
So perfect in my devising
I load it all on you
and your lonely heart, under pressure
a petal in a book
I carry this around, for luck
Cos I’ve got something I can’t say
Pure O
You have me hurting
You should know that
I was certain in my head
When you know, you know
and that’s the main thing
You should know that
I was certain in my head
Protect me still my treasured secret
In ways misunderstood
She keeps me still with over-thinking
I’d love to hold you but
My hands were tied so the chance was wasted
the thousandth never took
I carry this around
Cos I’ve got something I cant say
Pure O, oh I have wasted
So many years just on the same trip
Late night favour
Yeah I was nervous
that she don’t know yet
if I was only part-time
Back To The Bolthole lyrics - The Cribs
You follow Aurora and hope no-one saw you,
Peel back the screen door like everyone before,
Cartoons run on repeat in the room across the street,
So you go out to find her in some crappy roadside diner.
You’re a long long way from home.
And as the room goes cold you’re…
Crying in secret about the things you’re thinking
On a night.
That you, one day will die.
Just try to think it’s the one thing
That makes it all worthwhile.
That I, one day will die.
So where do we go?
We go back to the Bolthole.
Crack open the Rainiers.
The oxygen makes you thin here.
A Cascadian rainfall.
The couch has gone AWOL.
It’s as good place as any to forget about your family.
You’re a long long way from home.
And as the room goes cold you’re…
Crying in secret about the things you’re thinking
On a night.
That you, one day will die.
Just try to think it’s the one thing
That makes it all worthwhile.
That I, one day will die.
Peel back the screen door like everyone before,
Cartoons run on repeat in the room across the street,
So you go out to find her in some crappy roadside diner.
You’re a long long way from home.
And as the room goes cold you’re…
Crying in secret about the things you’re thinking
On a night.
That you, one day will die.
Just try to think it’s the one thing
That makes it all worthwhile.
That I, one day will die.
So where do we go?
We go back to the Bolthole.
Crack open the Rainiers.
The oxygen makes you thin here.
A Cascadian rainfall.
The couch has gone AWOL.
It’s as good place as any to forget about your family.
You’re a long long way from home.
And as the room goes cold you’re…
Crying in secret about the things you’re thinking
On a night.
That you, one day will die.
Just try to think it’s the one thing
That makes it all worthwhile.
That I, one day will die.
I Should Have Helped lyrics - The Cribs
You should take it back in no circumstance
I understand, remember
the man on the street is wrong
again
I used to think I knew something that
No - one else knew
I was a fool
When a lonely voice in a lonely town
Just couldn’t tell
I should have helped out
And the times you’d wait
Outside the corn exchange
With ghosts and rain
You were lost when the cloud came down
My friend
When a loved one’s dead
You look at the sky
In a different way, but that’s ok
Cos perfect things still can break your heart
that’s not to say I’d ever change that
There’s always still guilt
I understand, remember
the man on the street is wrong
again
I used to think I knew something that
No - one else knew
I was a fool
When a lonely voice in a lonely town
Just couldn’t tell
I should have helped out
And the times you’d wait
Outside the corn exchange
With ghosts and rain
You were lost when the cloud came down
My friend
When a loved one’s dead
You look at the sky
In a different way, but that’s ok
Cos perfect things still can break your heart
that’s not to say I’d ever change that
There’s always still guilt
Stalagmites lyrics - The Cribs
We stand here in ceremonial dress,
With a knife in the garter.
Like the love you never get to feel,
This is the fame of the martyr.
You are the California smile,
You’re the cake decorator.
“He has this plan which is keep doing exactly what it is you’re doing
and somehow everything’s going to be alright.
And I was like, I’m growing stalagmites, I’ don’t want to be here anymore.
So I guess we’re going to live in this haunted city forever more,
Where the gray creeps through your front door and all the houses
look like jack’o’lanterns, exactly the same all stood in a row.
Glowing with the mundanity of an early evening being lived out inside.”
Like the rabbits with ointment in their eyes
Trying to focus in cages.
The lives are lived so what is it?
An hourglass or two faces?
We’re only human is our excuse,
Let’s just keep blaming nature.
My heart melts less over the years,
Whilst the past rings in my ears.
You are the California smile,
You’re the cake decorator.
“So if needs be I’ll batter you with unrelenting dignity,
My mouth will be sealed tighter than a nervous clam.
Because all words will be meaningless when you’re washed up on the sand.
Try not to think about the future.
Try not to live in the past.”
In the meantime I’ll write down all of these words
And sing songs of being lost then found,
Being loved and lost.
With a knife in the garter.
Like the love you never get to feel,
This is the fame of the martyr.
You are the California smile,
You’re the cake decorator.
“He has this plan which is keep doing exactly what it is you’re doing
and somehow everything’s going to be alright.
And I was like, I’m growing stalagmites, I’ don’t want to be here anymore.
So I guess we’re going to live in this haunted city forever more,
Where the gray creeps through your front door and all the houses
look like jack’o’lanterns, exactly the same all stood in a row.
Glowing with the mundanity of an early evening being lived out inside.”
Like the rabbits with ointment in their eyes
Trying to focus in cages.
The lives are lived so what is it?
An hourglass or two faces?
We’re only human is our excuse,
Let’s just keep blaming nature.
My heart melts less over the years,
Whilst the past rings in my ears.
You are the California smile,
You’re the cake decorator.
“So if needs be I’ll batter you with unrelenting dignity,
My mouth will be sealed tighter than a nervous clam.
Because all words will be meaningless when you’re washed up on the sand.
Try not to think about the future.
Try not to live in the past.”
In the meantime I’ll write down all of these words
And sing songs of being lost then found,
Being loved and lost.
Like A Gift Giver lyrics - The Cribs
Little birds in a box of tea
just waiting to die
Like a gift giver I will change the way
that you see, or I’ll try
But I know, it’s not even
but try when you’re in Heaven
to call me up
It’s hard to believe in anything
that I’ve learned in my life
but whisper something trivial
that sounds good and I might
But I know, it’s not even
but try when you’re in Heaven
to call me up
Butterflies lyrics - The Cribs
Waiting for my friend to wake up
So we can talk in the night
like the old days
Though you like the songs I sing to you
all the words they are untrue
but I'll promise, just like I always do
though you like the songs I sing to you
all the words are no longer true
but I'll promise, just like I always do
I need to see the world
through her eyes now
It seems she thinks
all leaves are butterflies now
Though you like the songs I sing to you
all the words they are untrue
but I'll promise, just like I always do
though you like the songs I sing to you
all the words are no longer true
but I'll promise, just like I always do
So we can talk in the night
like the old days
Though you like the songs I sing to you
all the words they are untrue
but I'll promise, just like I always do
though you like the songs I sing to you
all the words are no longer true
but I'll promise, just like I always do
I need to see the world
through her eyes now
It seems she thinks
all leaves are butterflies now
Though you like the songs I sing to you
all the words they are untrue
but I'll promise, just like I always do
though you like the songs I sing to you
all the words are no longer true
but I'll promise, just like I always do
Arena Rock Encore With Full Cast lyrics -
Sorry that it’s taken years
We were victims of our own ideals
But I’d rather be tied to myself than to anyone else
We were victims of our own ideals
But I’d rather be tied to myself than to anyone else
We Were Aborted lyrics - The Cribs
In the grey of yesterday
A breeze blew over exposing
A memory so small
What is it here for
Your virility, makes me forget empathy
Dig your hole
That's what we're here for
To make you feel important
cause you knew we were aborted
It's the same things that we're saying all the time
And they have have everything

To make you feel important

We Share The Same Skies lyrics - The Cribs
A strange union the other day
It's a dead Russian, the papers say
But it would be nice if they realised
That she thought 'he is mine'
This town has got you down and I know
I was helping you out
While your hope died under northern skies
and it shows
I was helping you to realise
The reason why, it was no surprise
No way
The act will pass by no-one
And I'm sad to say it's no different today
Be comforted by we share the same skies
And for once pay no mind
I have decided it's best that you know
I'm still thinking about
Old ties as north-west skies grow cold
No point in denying
Anxiety was my favourite feeling after jealousy
Yeah, I'll concede
That I could not be as nervous as I was
I could not, no way
It's a dead Russian, the papers say
But it would be nice if they realised
That she thought 'he is mine'
This town has got you down and I know
I was helping you out
While your hope died under northern skies
and it shows
I was helping you to realise
The reason why, it was no surprise
No way
The act will pass by no-one
And I'm sad to say it's no different today
Be comforted by we share the same skies
And for once pay no mind
I have decided it's best that you know
I'm still thinking about
Old ties as north-west skies grow cold
No point in denying
Anxiety was my favourite feeling after jealousy
Yeah, I'll concede
That I could not be as nervous as I was
I could not, no way
City Of Bugs lyrics - The Cribs
It came to me like a voice from above
Or like a message in praise of platonic love
And if you stand in the booth
Then you don't have to sit with a stranger
A perfumed gust drifts to my core
I give you one last look
Through a cross-hatched door
But I'm a messed up baby
Like the Berlin Wall
Tonight
It came to me like a voice from above
Or like a message in praise of platonic love
But I'm a messed up baby
Like the Berlin Wall
Tonight
You feel the rape in the city of bugs
Fill the hole with glass...
...Vessels burst after love
But don't go too long without letting them know
That you're there
A perfumed gust drifts to my core
I give it one last look
It was a cross-hatched door
But I'm a messed up
Baby I'm the Berlin Wall
Tonight
You came into reach
Like the Serpent and Peach
Came to me in the dream
That contractions set free
But it's never too late to admit to me
That you're worried
Never a choice
Don't remember your voice
I was born out of glass
I'll return there at last
In a shattering climax
The wall falls
It came to me like a voice from above
Or like a message in praise of platonic love
And if you stand in the booth
Then you don't have to sit with a stranger
You feel the rape of the city of bugs
So fill the hole with glass...
...Vessels burst after love
But don't go too long without letting them know
That you're there
Never a choice
Don't remember your voice
I was born out of glass
I'll return there at last
In a shattering climax
For left out children to carry
A world without sin is a laughable thing
So go out on a limb
Take a stone for a swim
In a shattering climax
The wall falls
Or like a message in praise of platonic love
And if you stand in the booth
Then you don't have to sit with a stranger
A perfumed gust drifts to my core
I give you one last look
Through a cross-hatched door
But I'm a messed up baby
Like the Berlin Wall
Tonight
It came to me like a voice from above
Or like a message in praise of platonic love
But I'm a messed up baby
Like the Berlin Wall
Tonight
You feel the rape in the city of bugs
Fill the hole with glass...
...Vessels burst after love
But don't go too long without letting them know
That you're there
A perfumed gust drifts to my core
I give it one last look
It was a cross-hatched door
But I'm a messed up
Baby I'm the Berlin Wall
Tonight
You came into reach
Like the Serpent and Peach
Came to me in the dream
That contractions set free
But it's never too late to admit to me
That you're worried
Never a choice
Don't remember your voice
I was born out of glass
I'll return there at last
In a shattering climax
The wall falls
It came to me like a voice from above
Or like a message in praise of platonic love
And if you stand in the booth
Then you don't have to sit with a stranger
You feel the rape of the city of bugs
So fill the hole with glass...
...Vessels burst after love
But don't go too long without letting them know
That you're there
Never a choice
Don't remember your voice
I was born out of glass
I'll return there at last
In a shattering climax
For left out children to carry
A world without sin is a laughable thing
So go out on a limb
Take a stone for a swim
In a shattering climax
The wall falls
Hari Kari lyrics - The Cribs
If you combine flattery
With a long history
Then there are no easy answers
You hid your face
You hid your face in a place
Where there are no easy answers
In the name of everyone who met me
Am I supposed to commit Hari Kari?
With sword in hand I face demands
Delivered with the best intentions
from the department of corrections
But who will tell my next of kin
That tomorrow stands for nothing?
It was years ago, it was years ago
Since you left us
Alone
It was years ago, it was years ago
And only time will show, only time will show
How much you mean to
The world
Only time will show
It was years ago
If you combine flattery
With a long history
Then there are no easy answers
You hid your face
You hid your face in a place
Where there are no easy answers
Somebody said you should have left her
I think it was an empty gesture
It's not as though they really cared, like
"It's a shame about the weather"
You left home on a stretcher
I remember cos I saw a picture of it
It was years ago, it was years ago
Since you left us
I know
It was years ago, it was years ago
And only time will show, only time will show
How much you mean to
The world
Only time will show
It was years ago
It's your Mind
It's your Voice
It's your Body
It's your Choice
It's your Mind
It's your Voice
It's your Body
It's your Choice
It's your Mind
It's your Voice
It's your Body
It's your Choice
It's your Mind
It's your Voice
It's your Body
It's your Choice
It's your Mind
It's your Voice
It's your Body
It's your Choice
It's your Mind
It's your Voice
It's your Body
It's your Choice
Last Year's Snow lyrics - The Cribs
Oh Glass Beach, you know nothing of me
And I sense no curiosity
Amuse yourself with feelings of how
Like Libra you're growing fainter now
Like yesterday's bouquet
Looks a little sad today
Confusion I'll greet like an old friend
As tonight they set me right
In the end I will be forgotten
As tonight they set me right
So here's one for all the cynics then:
Hate me for what I've done, not for my idiot children
I want to think you won't
Remember me like last year's snow
Confusion I'll greet like an old friend
As tonight they set me right
In the end I will be forgotten
As tonight they set me right
And I sense no curiosity
Amuse yourself with feelings of how
Like Libra you're growing fainter now
Like yesterday's bouquet
Looks a little sad today
Confusion I'll greet like an old friend
As tonight they set me right
In the end I will be forgotten
As tonight they set me right
So here's one for all the cynics then:
Hate me for what I've done, not for my idiot children
I want to think you won't
Remember me like last year's snow
Confusion I'll greet like an old friend
As tonight they set me right
In the end I will be forgotten
As tonight they set me right
Emasculate Me lyrics - The Cribs
Without love
Without hate
Oh without anyone who I even allowed
To find out all of the little things
I've been thinkin
It's too easy for folks to get by
There's no reason for someone to try
To put walls around our misery
And gently emasculate me
You were seen
On your knees
Oh breaking what was
Already half destroyed
Like your love and all of the pretty things
That went with it
Spent all this time chasing happy
But happy is boring to me
So put walls around our misery
And gently emasculate me
Ignore The Ignorant lyrics - The Cribs
In these passionate places
There's a piece of me in every town
And the dialect changes
They never seem to wear me out
Yes the war is over
But no one ever told my heart
That it's all a laugh because
I'm throwing England to the dogs
But anyway
To be in the right
I'd give my life
But you must see it through
It's now down to you
Although you want the boy that is
You will never change the boy that was
And though he lives in a hotel
He seems to scrub up rather well
It's just a shame you can't
Ignore the ignorant
Because you see them
Every day
To be in the right
I'd give my life
But you must see it through
It's now down to you
To be proven right
I'd give my life
Ignore the ignorant
Save Your Secrets lyrics - The Cribs
You are far more likely to
Be devoured
Than empowered by your own
Sense of romance
Oh doleful girl
Alone in the world?
Where did true love go?
Well I'd like to know, ohhh-ohh
This means everything to me
Hope someone will see
That those yesterdays were a lifetime ago
You are far more likely to
Be devoured
Than empowered by your own
Sense of romance
Even the most gentle of folk
Will snap when provoked
I ain't scared no more
I've said that before
I sense it on your breath
You're frozen in your depths
Where'd the good guys go?
Well I'd like to know
Save your secrets for those who deserve it
But like the rice pounded out by a rabbit
I'm miles away from ever understanding
Why I had to be more of a man then
Be devoured
Than empowered by your own
Sense of romance
Oh doleful girl
Alone in the world?
Where did true love go?
Well I'd like to know, ohhh-ohh
This means everything to me
Hope someone will see
That those yesterdays were a lifetime ago
You are far more likely to
Be devoured
Than empowered by your own
Sense of romance
Even the most gentle of folk
Will snap when provoked
I ain't scared no more
I've said that before
I sense it on your breath
You're frozen in your depths
Where'd the good guys go?
Well I'd like to know
Save your secrets for those who deserve it
But like the rice pounded out by a rabbit
I'm miles away from ever understanding
Why I had to be more of a man then
Nothing lyrics - The Cribs
Lasted longer, well that's enough
Promises honoured, acting tough
Lasted longer, well that's enough
It's easy to feel strong about something
Of which no-one else knows a single thing
Who would remember a down turned mouth?
We start with next to nothing, why?
Just like we all had lost them, why?
When I die I'm leaving nothing, why?
We start with next to nothing, why?
I won't put myself out on show
And I won't dance round no maypole
No more chance than a cat in hell
We start with next to nothing, why?
Just like we all had lost them, why?
When I die I'm leaving nothing, why?
We start with next to nothing, why?
Promises honoured, acting tough
Lasted longer, well that's enough
It's easy to feel strong about something
Of which no-one else knows a single thing
Who would remember a down turned mouth?
We start with next to nothing, why?
Just like we all had lost them, why?
When I die I'm leaving nothing, why?
We start with next to nothing, why?
I won't put myself out on show
And I won't dance round no maypole
No more chance than a cat in hell
We start with next to nothing, why?
Just like we all had lost them, why?
When I die I'm leaving nothing, why?
We start with next to nothing, why?
Victim Of Mass Production lyrics - The Cribs
Well he's a creature without a care
Except for the fact that he'll only wear
The things he sees in magazines
He is a victim of mass production
I was brought up with my own beliefs
And well, I prided myself on being free
But the powers-that-be invaded me
Looking for some weapons of mass destruction
The first time that I met my mate
Was in a building that houses the things I hate
But she seemed to feel the things I feel
She is the object of my affection
I never thought that you'd care
I can't believe that you're still living there
But you'll always be the last who sees
You are a victim of mass production
Well I've seen it all before but that's not for me to say
We'll live
We'll die
We'll never say goodbye
Cos we're not supposed to be here anyway
Well he's a creature without a care
Except for the fact that he'll only wear out
The things he sees in magazines
He is a victim of mass production
I was brought up with my own beliefs
And well, I prided myself on being free
But the powers-that-be invaded me
Looking for some weapons of mass destruction
Well I've seen it all before but that's not for me to say
We'll live
We'll die
We'll never say goodbye
Cos we're not supposed to be here anyway
Well he's a creature without a care
Except for the fact that he'll only wear out
The things he sees in magazines
He is a victim of mass production
I never thought that you'd care
I can't believe that you're still living there
But you'll always be the last who sees
You are a victim of mass production
Except for the fact that he'll only wear
The things he sees in magazines
He is a victim of mass production
I was brought up with my own beliefs
And well, I prided myself on being free
But the powers-that-be invaded me
Looking for some weapons of mass destruction
The first time that I met my mate
Was in a building that houses the things I hate
But she seemed to feel the things I feel
She is the object of my affection
I never thought that you'd care
I can't believe that you're still living there
But you'll always be the last who sees
You are a victim of mass production
Well I've seen it all before but that's not for me to say
We'll live
We'll die
We'll never say goodbye
Cos we're not supposed to be here anyway
Well he's a creature without a care
Except for the fact that he'll only wear out
The things he sees in magazines
He is a victim of mass production
I was brought up with my own beliefs
And well, I prided myself on being free
But the powers-that-be invaded me
Looking for some weapons of mass destruction
Well I've seen it all before but that's not for me to say
We'll live

You are a victim of mass production
Stick To Yr Guns lyrics - The Cribs
Give him what he needs
Let him see what he sees
Let me feel how he feels
Leave him out to sea
It's alright by me
Let him stay in bed
Until he is fed up
You know he can't go on
His life has felt so long
Already to go
You know
He's so lonely
Sick to the teeth
Drunk on belief
Meaning to clean
But armed with disease
I'll surmise for free
The boy who feels kept
Could be out of his depth
But you know he can't go on
His life has felt so long
Already he's old
Yes you know
He's so lonely
"What became of him?"
"Less than you could ever imagine"
Sick to the teeth
Drunk on belief
Meaning to clean
But armed with disease
I'll surmise for free
The boy who feels kept
Could be out of his depth
But you know he can't go on
With a life that feels so wrong
Already he's old
Yes you know
He's so lonely
Give him what he needs
Let him see what he sees
Let him feel how he's gonna feel
Leave him out to sea
It's alright by me
Let him stay in bed
Until he is fed up
You know he can't go on
Yes his life has felt so long
He's ready, but oh
His soul is so lonely
Stick to yr guns
He's ready, but oh
His soul
His soul is so lonely
Stick to yr guns
Let him see what he sees
Let me feel how he feels
Leave him out to sea
It's alright by me
Let him stay in bed
Until he is fed up
You know he can't go on
His life has felt so long
Already to go
You know
He's so lonely
Sick to the teeth
Drunk on belief
Meaning to clean
But armed with disease
I'll surmise for free
The boy who feels kept
Could be out of his depth
But you know he can't go on
His life has felt so long
Already he's old
Yes you know
He's so lonely
"What became of him?"
"Less than you could ever imagine"
Sick to the teeth
Drunk on belief
Meaning to clean

Is Anybody There? lyrics - The Cribs
Cut to the scene of a broken dream
On a day of long shadows
Tree lined streets, not even on the map
Summer early evening glows
Then ask your friends if you can learn to enjoy sorrow
See you told her once,
You told her twice,
And now she's found herself with no tomorrow
You see the truth's unfair
Home at last,
Is anybody there?
No.
There's been no proof, who cares
Alone at last,
Is anybody there?
No, no, no.
In the light's part of me
Don't lie,
That should feel/be/feel alright
Cut to the scene of a broken dream
On a day of long shadows
You went there once,
Never looked back
What's not right, I'll never know
Then ask your friends if they could learn to enjoy sorrow
You might be tough,
Yeah I know your type,
Until you find yourself with no tomorrow
You see the truth's unfair
Home at last,
Is anybody there?
No.
There's been no proof, who cares
Alone at last,
Is anybody there?
No, no, no.
In the light's part of me
Don't lie,
That should feel/be/feel alright
You see the truth's unfair
Home at last,
Is anybody there?
No.
There's been no proof, who cares
Alone at last,
Is anybody there?
No, no, no.
In the light's part of me
Don't lie,
That should feel/be/feel alright
Home at last,
Is anybody there?
No.
On a day of long shadows
Tree lined streets, not even on the map
Summer early evening glows
Then ask your friends if you can learn to enjoy sorrow
See you told her once,
You told her twice,
And now she's found herself with no tomorrow
You see the truth's unfair
Home at last,
Is anybody there?
No.
There's been no proof, who cares
Alone at last,
Is anybody there?
No, no, no.
In the light's part of me
Don't lie,
That should feel/be/feel alright
Cut to the scene of a broken dream
On a day of long shadows
You went there once,
Never looked back
What's not right, I'll never know
Then ask your friends if they could learn to enjoy sorrow
You might be tough,
Yeah I know your type,
Until you find yourself with no tomorrow

Our Bovine Public lyrics - The Cribs
Didn't think I'd have to choose
didn't think I'd wear brown shoes
didn't think that I'd ever have to read about this in the news
you gonna have a go
well I don't want to know
I just thought that I should try and say hello to those who'd
never exist without being generic
you have to impress our bovine public
you'd never exist if you wasn't generic
you have to impress our bovine public
I'll never forget how all this begun
and I will never regret a thing I have done but
you would never exist without us
so maybe I do not have the time
fair-weather friends of mine
a year's a long time
you're doing nothing with your life
I heard you felt alert
well I'm hoping that it hurt
cos we've spent too much time in groundwork
to be ground in to the dirt by those who'd
never exist without being generic
you'll have to impress our bovine public
you'd never exist if you wasn't generic
you'll have to impress our bovine public
I'll never forget how all this begun
and I will never regret a thing I have done
but you would never exist without us
so maybe I do
well you say nothing
so you'll always mean nothing to me
and if what you say means nothing
then what you say will always mean nothing to me
d'you think I have the time fair-weather friends of mine
a year's a long time to be doing nothing with your life
I heard you felt alert
well I'm hoping that it hurt

Girls Like Mystery lyrics - The Cribs
There's not much to say for me
That's okay you know that girls like mystery
They'll know all the things I've read
That's ok don't necessarily make it bad
Leave me alone
I'm just your enemy
I've seen it all
I've seen your jealousy
They say love me till then end
They only see me as a friend
You leave a lot to be desired
I don't care if I'm desired
They say love me till then end
They only see me as a friend
You leave a lot to be desired
I never wanna be desired
There's not much to say for me
That's okay you know that girls like mystery
Keep your clothes as your dignity
After all it's only two years history
Leave me alone
I'm just your enemy
I've seen it all
I've seen your jealousy
They say love me till then end
They only see me as a friend
You leave a lot to be desired
I don't care if I'm desired
They say love me till then end
They only see me as a friend
You leave a lot to be desired
I never wanna be desired
Men's Needs lyrics - The Cribs
Have you noticed
I've never been impressed
By your friends from New York and London?
I'll level, accusations like the press
til you realise that you've dressed yourself in tatters
Because a man's needs, man's needs
Are found on greed, are found on greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Are lost on me
A man's needs, man's needs
Are found on greed, are found on greed
A man's needs
I'm not bothered, what you say or how you dress
I'm a mess, so you've always seemed inviting
But really, this all seems quite meaningless
And I remember, that you never seem to see
The fact that men's needs, men's needs
Are found on greed, are found on greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Are lost on me
A girl's needs, girl's needs
Just don't agree, just don't agree
With a man's needs
Have you noticed, I've never been impressed
By your friends from New York and London?
But really, this all seems quite meaningless
And I remember that you never seem to see
The excuse that men's needs, men's needs
Are found on greed, are found on greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Apply to me
You say your man's needs, man's needs
Apply to me
I don't agree
A man's needs
Oh-oh! Oh-oh!
I've never been impressed
By your friends from New York and London?
I'll level, accusations like the press
til you realise that you've dressed yourself in tatters
Because a man's needs, man's needs
Are found on greed, are found on greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Are lost on me
A man's needs, man's needs
Are found on greed, are found on greed
A man's needs
I'm not bothered, what you say or how you dress
I'm a mess, so you've always seemed inviting
But really, this all seems quite meaningless
And I remember, that you never seem to see
The fact that men's needs, men's needs
Are found on greed, are found on greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Are lost on me
A girl's needs, girl's needs
Just don't agree, just don't agree
With a man's needs
Have you noticed, I've never been impressed
By your friends from New York and London?
But really, this all seems quite meaningless
And I remember that you never seem to see
The excuse that men's needs, men's needs
Are found on greed, are found on greed
A man's needs, man's needs
Apply to me
You say your man's needs, man's needs
Apply to me
I don't agree
A man's needs
Oh-oh! Oh-oh!
Moving Pictures lyrics - The Cribs
You'll sleep tonight
Dream dreams where I would die
It's alright, it's alright
They did not come true
Although they will do, in time
It's alright, it's alright
Fakes, liars and stars of moving pictures
What's the difference?
Like all the parts that I'm not into
But I see in you
Not real brown eyes look into mine
But I was so shy
It's alright
You'll sleep tonight
Dream dreams where I would die
It's alright, it's alright
Fakes, liars and stars of moving pictures
What's the difference?
Like all the parts that I'm not into
But I see in you
Guarded thoughts
Firing off
Parting shots
Missing lots
Guarded thoughts
Firing off
Parting shots
Missing lots
Liars, fakes and stars of moving pictures
What's the difference?
Like all the parts that I'm not into
But I see in you
Dream dreams where I would die
It's alright, it's alright
They did not come true
Although they will do, in time
It's alright, it's alright
Fakes, liars and stars of moving pictures
What's the difference?
Like all the parts that I'm not into
But I see in you
Not real brown eyes look into mine
But I was so shy
It's alright
You'll sleep tonight
Dream dreams where I would die
It's alright, it's alright
Fakes, liars and stars of moving pictures
What's the difference?
Like all the parts that I'm not into
But I see in you
Guarded thoughts
Firing off
Parting shots
Missing lots
Guarded thoughts
Firing off
Parting shots
Missing lots
Liars, fakes and stars of moving pictures
What's the difference?
Like all the parts that I'm not into
But I see in you
I'm A Realist lyrics - The Cribs
I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I'm an indecisive piece of shit
I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I am indecisive and that's about it
And you dream that's the same thing
That's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you drink
Don't wanna think
That's 'cause your mind is already made up
I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I'm an indecisive piece of shit
I admit it
I'm up to my old tricks
Did you see her eyes (Oh no I tried)
She looked surprised
And you dream that's the same thing
that's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you drink
Don't wanna think
That's 'cause your mind is already made up
How you dream that's the same thing
That's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you drink
Don't wanna think
That's 'cause your mind is already made up
No
I know that it's only a matter of time
Before you know it
I'll be leaving town, see it in my eyes
That no one will do
No one will ever do
I know that it's only a matter of time
Before you know it
I'll be leaving town, seen it in your eyes
That no one will ever do
No one will ever do for you
I'm a romantic
I'm an indecisive piece of shit
I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I am indecisive and that's about it
And you dream that's the same thing
That's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you drink
Don't wanna think
That's 'cause your mind is already made up
I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I'm an indecisive piece of shit
I admit it
I'm up to my old tricks
Did you see her eyes (Oh no I tried)
She looked surprised
And you dream that's the same thing
that's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you drink
Don't wanna think
That's 'cause your mind is already made up
How you dream that's the same thing
That's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you drink
Don't wanna think
That's 'cause your mind is already made up
No
I know that it's only a matter of time
Before you know it
I'll be leaving town, see it in my eyes
That no one will do
No one will ever do
I know that it's only a matter of time
Before you know it
I'll be leaving town, seen it in your eyes
That no one will ever do
No one will ever do for you

Women's Needs lyrics - The Cribs
In a radius of a thousand miles
I find it strange no one makes me smile
You should understand
You still have to try
When we're all the same
I was almost right
And evening comes and I feel no different
Sorry my friend, I just can't do nothing
Evening comes and I feel no different
Sorry my friend, I just can't do nothing
In a radius of a thousand miles
You find it strange no one makes me smile
You should understand
You still have to try
We're not all the same
I was almost right
And see those guys I guess they're quite clever
Get you outside
Women's needs, whatever
See those guys they think they're so clever
Spot them outside
Women's needs, whatever
And evening comes and I feel no better
It's closing time
Women's needs, whatever
Evening comes and I feel no better
It's closing time
Women's needs, whatever
I find it strange no one makes me smile
You should understand
You still have to try
When we're all the same
I was almost right
And evening comes and I feel no different
Sorry my friend, I just can't do nothing
Evening comes and I feel no different
Sorry my friend, I just can't do nothing
In a radius of a thousand miles
You find it strange no one makes me smile
You should understand
You still have to try
We're not all the same
I was almost right
And see those guys I guess they're quite clever
Get you outside
Women's needs, whatever
See those guys they think they're so clever
Spot them outside
Women's needs, whatever
And evening comes and I feel no better
It's closing time
Women's needs, whatever
Evening comes and I feel no better
It's closing time
Women's needs, whatever
I've Tried Everything lyrics - The Cribs
I was born in 'The Merrie City'
I've been trying to get out of it
Nothing's changed since the 1950's
I'm surprised all the time what I find out
There must be something more
Can't figure it out
Still missing something
and I've tried everything
Love is a lie
Attraction, an instinct
Believe what you like, you decide
But I still think that
There must be something more
Can't figure it out
Still missing something
and I've tried everything
Three months ago
I ran to Brighton
It didn't solve anything... no
I thought it would not be a problem
But I found out the night we rode the Circle Line
It had to happen sometime
I thought it would not be a problem
But I found out the night we rode the Circle Line
It had to happen sometime
And though you knew nowt about it
You could pick up on signs
Like being too polite
And unassertive 'cos I'm
Still missing something
and I've tried everything
I've been trying to get out of it
Nothing's changed since the 1950's
I'm surprised all the time what I find out
There must be something more
Can't figure it out
Still missing something
and I've tried everything
Love is a lie
Attraction, an instinct
Believe what you like, you decide
But I still think that
There must be something more
Can't figure it out
Still missing something
and I've tried everything
Three months ago
I ran to Brighton
It didn't solve anything... no
I thought it would not be a problem
But I found out the night we rode the Circle Line
It had to happen sometime
I thought it would not be a problem
But I found out the night we rode the Circle Line
It had to happen sometime
And though you knew nowt about it
You could pick up on signs
Like being too polite
And unassertive 'cos I'm
Still missing something
and I've tried everything
My Life Flashed Before My Eyes lyrics - The Cribs
The wrong time, the wrong place
Your talent scouts my lonely face
Of all the things i can't replace
Your talent scouts my lonely face
Yeah
Well it's alright, although i know you lied
I don't mind
It's alright, although i know you lied
I don't mind
The wrong time, the wrong place
Your talent scouts my lonely face
Of all the things i can't escape
Your talent scouts my lonely face
Yeah
Well i'm alright, although i know you lied
I don't mind
If my life flashed before my eyes
Do you think I'd mind?
No
And now, you don't need mine
You let us down
You watched us die
Now, I hang around
With people i don't even know
Your talent scouts my lonely face
Of all the things i can't replace
Your talent scouts my lonely face
Yeah
Well it's alright, although i know you lied
I don't mind
It's alright, although i know you lied
I don't mind
The wrong time, the wrong place
Your talent scouts my lonely face
Of all the things i can't escape
Your talent scouts my lonely face
Yeah
Well i'm alright, although i know you lied
I don't mind
If my life flashed before my eyes
Do you think I'd mind?
No
And now, you don't need mine
You let us down
You watched us die
Now, I hang around
With people i don't even know
Be Safe lyrics - The Cribs
One of those fucking awful black days
When nothing is pleasing and everything that happens
Is an excuse for anger
An outlet for emotions stockpiled, an arsenal, an armour
These are the days when I hate the world
Hate the rich, hate the happy
Hate the complacent, the TV watchers
Beer drinkers, the satisfied ones
Because I know I can be all of those little hateful things
And then I hate myself for realizing that
There's no preventative, directive or safe approach for living
We each know our own fate
We know from our youth how to be treated
How we'll be received, how we shall end
These things don't change
You can change your clothes
Change your hairstyle, your friends, cities, continents
But sooner or later your own self will always catch up
Always it waits in the wings
Ideas swirl but don't stick
They appear but then run off like rain on the windshield
One of those rainy day car rides, my head implodes
The atmosphere in this car, a mirror of my skull
Wet, damp, windows dripping and misted with cold
Walls of grey, nothing good on the radio, not a thought in my head
I know a place we can go where you'll fall in love so hard that
You'll wish you were dead
Let's take life and slow it down incredibly slow
Frame by frame
With two minutes that take ten years to live out
Yeah, let's do that
Telephone poles like praying mantis against the sky
Metal arms outstretched
So much land travelled, so little sense made of it
It doesn't mean a thing, all this land laid out behind us
I'd like to take off into these woods and get good and lost for a while
I'm disgusted with petty concerns
Parking tickets, breakfast specials
Does someone just have to carry this weight?
Abstract typography, methane covenant
Linear gospel, Nashville sales lady, stocky emissary
Torturous lice, mad Elizabeth
Chemotherapy bullshit
I know a place we can go where you'll fall in love so hard that
You'll wish you were dead
The light within you shines like a diamond mine
Like an unarmed walrus, like a dead man face down on the highway
Like a snake eating its own tail
A steam turbine, frog pond
Two full closets burst open in disarray, soap bubbles in the sun
Hospital death bed, red convertible, shopping list, blowjob
Deaths head, devils dancing, bleached white buildings, memory
Movements, the movie unpeeling, unreeling, about to begin
I know a place we can go where you'll fall in love so hard that
You'll wish you were dead
I've seen your hallway, you're a darn call away
I've hear your stairs creak, I can fix my mind on your yes
And your no, I'll film your face today in the sparkling canals
All red, yellow, blue, green brilliance and silver Dutch reflection
Racing thoughts, racing thoughts, all too real
You're moving so fast now, I can't hold your image
This image I have of your face by the window
Me standing beside you, arm on your shoulder
A catalogue of images, flashing glimpses, then gone again
I'm tethered to this post you've sunk in me
And every clear afternoon now I'll think of you, up in the air
Twisting your heel, your knees up around me, my face in your hair
You scream so well, your smile so loud, it still rings in my ears
I know a place we can go where you'll fall in love so hard that
You'll wish you were dead
Inhibition, distant, tired of longing
Clean my teeth, stay the course
Hold the wheel, steer on to freedom
Open all the boxes, open all the boxes
Open all the boxes, open all the boxes
Times Square midday, newspaper buildings, news headlines going around
You watch as they go and hope for some good ones
Those tree shadows in the park they're all whispering, chasing leaves
Around six PM, shadows across the cobblestones
Girl in front of bathroom mirror
As she slowly and carefully and paints her face green, mask-like
Like Matisse, "Portrait with Green Stripe"
Long shot through apartment window
A monologue on top but no girl in shot
The light within me shines like a diamond mine
Like an unarmed walrus, like a dead man face down on the highway
Like a snake eating its own tail
A steam turbine, frog pond
Two full closets burst open in disarray, soap bubbles in the sun
Hospital death bed, red convertible, shopping list, blowjob
Deaths head, devils dancing, bleached white buildings, memory
Movements, the movie unreeling, about to begin
That was great by me
Yeah? Mine were alright. Wasn't my best one but who cares?
That's the spirit
When nothing is pleasing and everything that happens
Is an excuse for anger
An outlet for emotions stockpiled, an arsenal, an armour
These are the days when I hate the world
Hate the rich, hate the happy
Hate the complacent, the TV watchers

Ancient History lyrics - The Cribs
Laid my cards on the table
So she could see the light
My efforts went wasted
Due to fallen night...
And I know
But by the end of the evening
I was in no doubt
Of all of the things
That you could live without
And i know...
I drag up ancient history
Hope that they'll forgive me
They had nothing but ego's
But they would multiply
All the reasons that i would try
That i know...
To be making it harder to be seen but oh,
Is it too much to ask for to be left alone?
Yeah i know
I drag up ancient history
Hope that they'll forgive me
Laid my cards on the table
so she could see the light
my efforts went wasted
due to fallen night
and i know...
I drag up ancient history
Hope that they'll forgive me

Shoot The Poets lyrics - The Cribs
Cut off your nose despite your friends
Breathing holes that will never end and
Speak all you want or just pretend
Cos she think she is a different class
So she sits all day by the looking glass, oh
It doesn't talk, it doesn't last
But it's not what I've heard you know
A picture speaks a thousand words
But baby don't feel down
I left my heart in the provincial town, yeah
You sold your soul for magic beans
Don't believe all you read on computer screens and
These things they mean nothing to me
Rimpton stain came off the track
You go there once and you don't come back, oh
Good that's what I say
But it's not what I've heard you know it
Cut your losses, shoot the poets
And one day you'll come down
To find yourself in the provincial town
But it's not what I've heard you know
A picture speaks a thousand words
But baby don't feel down
I left my heart in the provincial town, yeah
But it's not what I've heard you know it
Cut your losses, shoot the poets
And one day you'll come down
Oh, to find yourself in the provincial town
Breathing holes that will never end and
Speak all you want or just pretend
Cos she think she is a different class
So she sits all day by the looking glass, oh
It doesn't talk, it doesn't last
But it's not what I've heard you know
A picture speaks a thousand words
But baby don't feel down
I left my heart in the provincial town, yeah
You sold your soul for magic beans
Don't believe all you read on computer screens and
These things they mean nothing to me
Rimpton stain came off the track
You go there once and you don't come back, oh
Good that's what I say
But it's not what I've heard you know it
Cut your losses, shoot the poets
And one day you'll come down
To find yourself in the provincial town
But it's not what I've heard you know
A picture speaks a thousand words
But baby don't feel down
I left my heart in the provincial town, yeah
But it's not what I've heard you know it
Cut your losses, shoot the poets
And one day you'll come down
Oh, to find yourself in the provincial town
You're Gonna Lose Us lyrics - The Cribs
By the time they lost him,
They'd realised he was a good lad.
He no longer goes to parties,
ços last time hurt bad.
Yeah they were all laughing,
Talking behind his back.
They said he'd been asking strange things like this:
'Do you love me?' No
Well don't say that ços
shit on your doorstep and you'll lose us.
This drivers clueless, he stopped outside the station and said
'Let's be having you out, you can't do that son'
When I'm drunk I can be an arsehole,
But that don't mean I've got no class no,
Why can't we have something going on?
You think about others too much,
Well that's a strange put down.
ços no-one has the same opinions, so where's the harm in asking
'Do you love me?' No
Well don't say that ços
shit on your doorstep and you'll lose us.
This drivers clueless, he stopped outside the station and said
'Let's be having you out, put that back son'
When I'm drunk I can be an arsehole,
But that don't mean I've got no class no,
Why can't we have something going on?
And I dont know if anyone cares or not,
But I have never liked you idiots,
Why can't we have something going on?
You're gonna lose us

It Happened So Fast lyrics - The Cribs
Don't go home, fine by me
But you just lost your dignity
Living in the dusty room
Staying in and making moves
So someones had enough, someones had too much
Imagine being like that, it must be bloody awful
But I know that it's hard to see
You should stay away from me
'Cos
In your eyes, in my heart
I still need you
Like I always have
I know that
You don't have anyone but you
You always said once was not enough
Everytime we go for a second try
Now I know, that it happened so fast
You always said once was not enough
Everytime we go for a second try
Now I know, that it happened so fast
Living in the dusty room
Staying in and making moves
It'd be fun, just remember why
You live you die, you lie you die
You're right
In your eyes, in my heart
I still need you
Like I always have
Are you on, a side, or not
You always said once was not enough
Everytime we go for a second try
Now I know, that it happened so fast
You always said once was not enough
Everytime we go for a second try
Now I know, that it happened so fast
But you just lost your dignity
Living in the dusty room
Staying in and making moves
So someones had enough, someones had too much
Imagine being like that, it must be bloody awful
But I know that it's hard to see
You should stay away from me
'Cos
In your eyes, in my heart
I still need you
Like I always have
I know that
You don't have anyone but you
You always said once was not enough
Everytime we go for a second try
Now I know, that it happened so fast
You always said once was not enough
Everytime we go for a second try
Now I know, that it happened so fast
Living in the dusty room
Staying in and making moves
It'd be fun, just remember why
You live you die, you lie you die
You're right
In your eyes, in my heart
I still need you
Like I always have
Are you on, a side, or not
You always said once was not enough
Everytime we go for a second try
Now I know, that it happened so fast
You always said once was not enough
Everytime we go for a second try
Now I know, that it happened so fast
Saturday Night Facts Of Life lyrics - The Cribs
When I was young I came upon
A girl I met
Now she wakes up just to see
King's Cross scum beat down on me
Saturday night facts of life
At the knuckle, it's alright
It's you and me
You and me
Come down properly, out they came
Standing in the pouring rain
Wounded colours and battered knees
To see those things that I can see
Saturday night facts of life
At the knuckle, it's alright
It's you and me
You and me
Just can't feel alright (you know you can)
Just can't feel alright (you know you can)
Just can't feel alright (you know you can)
Just can't feel alright (you know you can)
Feelin' It! lyrics - The Cribs
Feelin' it in the bathroom,
stumbilin' to the floor
and I'm finding it hard to tell you,
what my name is
and I'm wanting to recline
and the circumstances change
from the ones i know about
and you can't win
and I'm feelin kind of strange
just leave me on my face
with me and no one else
I think I should let you know
that I'll probably be a no show.
But you're gonna have to ring and let me know
if you're wantin me on the side
feelin' it in the kitchen,
somethings burning on the grill
and I'm finding it hard to tell you
where my flat is
and pictures always fade
and I don't remember it this way
and I cant win
I think I should let you know
that I'll probably be a no show.
But you're gonna have to ring and let me know
if you're wantin me on the side
To Jackson lyrics - The Cribs
You're getting away from yourself
You're getting away, oh woah ohohohoh
You're getting away from yourself
You're getting away, oh woah ohohohoh
I saw something pretty today
The sky was just running away, oh woah ohohohoh
I think I was supposed to be scared
But I'm feelin okay, oh woah ohohohoh
It got to the time when you'd walk
Now it's late in the day
I look for cigarette butts you threw away
I never saw you looking behind
Now I know I don't mind
You're getting away from yourself
You're getting away, oh woah ohohohoh
You're getting away from yourself
You're getting away, oh woah ohohohoh
I'm thinking that you left me behind
So, I've nothing to say
But get yourself through the day, then fall away
I've missed out once in my life
Now I know I don't mind
It got to the time when you'd walk
After only one day
I look for cigarette butts you threw away
I've missed out once in my life
Now I know I don't mind
You're getting away, oh woah ohohohoh
You're getting away from yourself
You're getting away, oh woah ohohohoh
I saw something pretty today
The sky was just running away, oh woah ohohohoh
I think I was supposed to be scared
But I'm feelin okay, oh woah ohohohoh
It got to the time when you'd walk
Now it's late in the day
I look for cigarette butts you threw away
I never saw you looking behind
Now I know I don't mind
You're getting away from yourself
You're getting away, oh woah ohohohoh
You're getting away from yourself
You're getting away, oh woah ohohohoh
I'm thinking that you left me behind
So, I've nothing to say
But get yourself through the day, then fall away
I've missed out once in my life
Now I know I don't mind
It got to the time when you'd walk
After only one day
I look for cigarette butts you threw away
I've missed out once in my life
Now I know I don't mind
Advice From A Roving Artist lyrics - The Cribs
Can't go home right now, and that's the truth
Julie Burchill's drinking free champagne on my roof
The front door's off limits, at least to the likes of me
See right here, right here, this is my story
Slept in a stranger's flat in all my clothes
In the morning I took a bus across the city to feel safe and closer to home
Passed a sign on the door, and a couple more
Saying welcome to hard times, welcome to hard times
I thought of a friend whose window looks out onto nothing but fields
While outside mine
The book shop was closing down
It's closed now
And it starts to look unlikely
As people leave around me
Helen King wrote a letter to me
Sent May 19th, the day of my birthday
From a desk in a library in some far off country
I'm a roving artist now. It's alright, it's okay
It said there's no magic left in crystal balls
I'm not sure there ever was at all
But listen, what will happen, the favourite question
Is best left for the last line of the poem
And it starts to look unlikely
As people leave around me
Fashionistas, we don't need you
Fashionistas, we don't need you
Fashionistas, we don't need you
Fashionistas, we don't need you
Fashionistas, we don't need you
Fashionistas, we don't need you
Fashionistas, we don't need you
Fashionistas, we don't need you

I'm Alright, Me lyrics - The Cribs
All the meek you should rejoice
Now you've found your voice
If you can't beat them don't join them
Just post rumours on forums
And I heard that it's curtains
But I could not be certain
What's that? We're history?
Oh really, that's funny
And now, you think you're right
With your reluctance to accept us
But I know that will change
When it's cool to be an outsider
I've got problems with chancers
Like groupies with cameras
You come out like leeches
To bleed us, oh jesus
Oh yeah, and one more thing
Your tone is annoying
The city's got problems
Oh you do? Well come on
And now, you think you're right
With your reluctance to accept us
But I know that will change
When it's cool to be an outsider
And I get off my face
'cos I was always uncertain
But tonight, all that will change
I'll be a new person
Take drugs, don't eat, have contempt for those you meet
Take drugs, don't eat, have contempt for those you meet
Take drugs, don't sleep, have contempt for those you meet
Take drugs, don't sleep, have contempt for those you meet
Now you've found your voice
If you can't beat them don't join them
Just post rumours on forums
And I heard that it's curtains
But I could not be certain
What's that? We're history?
Oh really, that's funny
And now, you think you're right
With your reluctance to accept us
But I know that will change
When it's cool to be an outsider
I've got problems with chancers
Like groupies with cameras
You come out like leeches
To bleed us, oh jesus
Oh yeah, and one more thing
Your tone is annoying
The city's got problems
Oh you do? Well come on
And now, you think you're right
With your reluctance to accept us
But I know that will change
When it's cool to be an outsider
And I get off my face
'cos I was always uncertain
But tonight, all that will change
I'll be a new person
Take drugs, don't eat, have contempt for those you meet
Take drugs, don't eat, have contempt for those you meet
Take drugs, don't sleep, have contempt for those you meet
Take drugs, don't sleep, have contempt for those you meet
Martell lyrics - The Cribs
How hard can it be
To get a slap on the back from a room full of morons?
So you hate my sunglasses?
Well your precious Leeds is dead
Just so long as you know
The clean and the green
Make up you're music scene
And shy away from the words
That they've written for me
Can't you see that
Someones got their eye on you now
Don't you know?
And I don't want to be the one to let you know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't think so
You should leave it to me
We cover insignificant miles for a miniature bottle
Do you know what I mean?
I don't think so
But we go for a smoke in the Smoke
And I like what I see
It's a vicious cycle but who cares when it's happening to me?
It's obscene
Can't you see that?
Someones got their eye on you now
Don't you know?
And I don't want to be the one to let you know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't think so
To get a slap on the back from a room full of morons?
So you hate my sunglasses?
Well your precious Leeds is dead
Just so long as you know
The clean and the green
Make up you're music scene
And shy away from the words
That they've written for me
Can't you see that
Someones got their eye on you now
Don't you know?
And I don't want to be the one to let you know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't think so
You should leave it to me
We cover insignificant miles for a miniature bottle
Do you know what I mean?
I don't think so
But we go for a smoke in the Smoke
And I like what I see
It's a vicious cycle but who cares when it's happening to me?
It's obscene
Can't you see that?
Someones got their eye on you now
Don't you know?
And I don't want to be the one to let you know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't know
La la la la can you hear me
I don't think so
Mirror Kissers lyrics - The Cribs
You aren't allowed to say that you're better
You aren't allowed to say that cause you're the hipster type, the type (whoa oh)
You've got a lot to say, but don't mention
The mirror kissing ways of the hipster type, the type (whoa oh)
You aren't allowed to say anything
We kicked around down water lane
But you're not all, all there
You aren't allowed to say anything
You left me on the street, talking to drains
Cause you're not all, all there
You aren't allowed to say that you're better
You aren't allowed to say that cause you're the hipster type, the type (whoa oh)
You've got a lot to say, but don't mention
The mirror kissing ways of the hipster type, the type (whoa oh)
You aren't allowed to say anything
We kicked around down water lane
But you're not all, all there
You aren't allowed to say anything
You left me on the street, talking to drains
Cause you're not all, all there
You aren't allowed to say that you're better
You aren't allowed to say that cause you're the hipster type, the type (whoa oh)
You've got a lot to say, but don't mention
The mirror kissing ways of the hipster type, the type (whoa oh)
You like to tell yourself that I'm nobody
I think you must have known I'd make you sorry
You like to tell yourself that I'm nobody
I think you must have known I'd make you sorry
You aren't allowed to say that you're better
You aren't allowed to say that cause you're the hipster type, the type (whoa oh)
You've got a lot to say, but don't mention
The mirror kissing ways of the hipster type, the type (whoa oh)
You aren't allowed to say that cause you're the hipster type, the type (whoa oh)
You've got a lot to say, but don't mention
The mirror kissing ways of the hipster type, the type (whoa oh)
You aren't allowed to say anything

But you're not all, all there
You aren't allowed to say anything
You left me on the street, talking to drains

We Can No Longer Cheat You lyrics - The Cribs
I lost my heart to a dancer
An easy pick up for chancers
What she saw in me, I don't know
When she said she'd been behaving
I found it hard to stop myself from laughing
I think I'll head off, in fact
You'd better dig me in deep guys
I won't be coming back
What's that you said, my love?
Yes, I know what you've been through
And that's why I can't stay
We can no longer cheat you
I lost my heart to a dancer
An easy pick up for chancers
What she saw in me, I don't know
She became depressed, that's down to boredom
She should have said
I could have scored some things to pass the time
Or took her out
Yeah, turning in at eight
What's that about
What's that you said, my love?
Yes, I know what you've been through
And that's why I can't stay
We can no longer cheat on you
An easy pick up for chancers
What she saw in me, I don't know
When she said she'd been behaving
I found it hard to stop myself from laughing
I think I'll head off, in fact
You'd better dig me in deep guys
I won't be coming back
What's that you said, my love?
Yes, I know what you've been through
And that's why I can't stay
We can no longer cheat you
I lost my heart to a dancer
An easy pick up for chancers
What she saw in me, I don't know
She became depressed, that's down to boredom
She should have said
I could have scored some things to pass the time
Or took her out
Yeah, turning in at eight
What's that about
What's that you said, my love?
Yes, I know what you've been through
And that's why I can't stay
We can no longer cheat on you
It Was Only Love lyrics - The Cribs
Why don't we take a walk?
Oh, you know there's no one to tell us no
Oh, because you can't regret something that you'll forget
And that's the beauty
I like you because you're strange
Oh, but you say that you need to change
Oh, but if I dress you like me, then you'll still never be
More than your bus fare to me
Why must you have to?
You know I never wanted anything more
I must forgive you
It was only love
I never tried to
You must have known I never wanted anything more
I misunderstood you
It was only love
Do you remember when we were teens?
Oh, we were studying the same things
Oh, I'm sorry that you were wrong and that you never moved on
It's good to never belong
On your soapbox you feel so tall
No one hears so that don't mean much at all
Oh, you mean nothing to me, home town jealously
You're just a formality
Why did you have to?
You must never have known I never wanted anything more
And I never miss you
I thought it was only love
But don't ever call me
Don't ever call me, baby
Cause I won't be friendly
It was only love
Oh, you know there's no one to tell us no
Oh, because you can't regret something that you'll forget
And that's the beauty
I like you because you're strange
Oh, but you say that you need to change
Oh, but if I dress you like me, then you'll still never be
More than your bus fare to me
Why must you have to?
You know I never wanted anything more
I must forgive you
It was only love
I never tried to
You must have known I never wanted anything more
I misunderstood you
It was only love
Do you remember when we were teens?
Oh, we were studying the same things
Oh, I'm sorry that you were wrong and that you never moved on
It's good to never belong
On your soapbox you feel so tall
No one hears so that don't mean much at all
Oh, you mean nothing to me, home town jealously
You're just a formality
Why did you have to?
You must never have known I never wanted anything more
And I never miss you
I thought it was only love
But don't ever call me
Don't ever call me, baby
Cause I won't be friendly
It was only love
The New Fellas lyrics - The Cribs
What's the point in compromise?
Get your dignity and leave
Don't be too abstract though
Cos I need a signal like you wont believe
You were always late but you always had a story
But that's not over wait!
You hardly even saw me
You would always say you're a different kind of boring
Did I say that? No way
You hardly even saw me
People know the stories
And that we were in between
But I feel you need to know that
That I am so sorry now, my queen
You were always late but you always had a story
But that's not over wait!
You hardly even saw me
You would always say you're a different kind of boring
Did I say that? No way
You hardly even saw me
Thought we had a meeting
I missed what we're discussing
Someone said it's meaning
To me it means nothing
Get your dignity and leave
Don't be too abstract though
Cos I need a signal like you wont believe
You were always late but you always had a story
But that's not over wait!
You hardly even saw me
You would always say you're a different kind of boring
Did I say that? No way
You hardly even saw me
People know the stories
And that we were in between
But I feel you need to know that
That I am so sorry now, my queen
You were always late but you always had a story
But that's not over wait!
You hardly even saw me
You would always say you're a different kind of boring
Did I say that? No way
You hardly even saw me
Thought we had a meeting
I missed what we're discussing
Someone said it's meaning
To me it means nothing
Hello? Oh... lyrics - The Cribs
With your knife and your bottle and silver spoon
No one knows what you're going to do
So stay away from everything that isn't true
Cause when I hung around with someone else
Take your anger off the shelf
And arrange it in a way that no one else could do
But you
Cause if you're dying I'd like to know
And if you're on one I need to show
Cause you were saying you was alone
Well there's something you need to know
I'm sixteen and I'm really bored
"But we're not going to use you we're
just scared we're gonna lose you"
Things are better when you are on board
I'm sure
But if you're dying I'd like to know
And if you're on one I need to show
Cause you were saying you was alone
Well there's something you need to know
That you will always be my hero
With the way that you're letting go
And you were saying you was alone
Well there's something you need to know
No one knows what you're going to do
So stay away from everything that isn't true
Cause when I hung around with someone else
Take your anger off the shelf
And arrange it in a way that no one else could do
But you
Cause if you're dying I'd like to know
And if you're on one I need to show
Cause you were saying you was alone
Well there's something you need to know
I'm sixteen and I'm really bored
"But we're not going to use you we're
just scared we're gonna lose you"
Things are better when you are on board
I'm sure
But if you're dying I'd like to know
And if you're on one I need to show
Cause you were saying you was alone
Well there's something you need to know
That you will always be my hero
With the way that you're letting go
And you were saying you was alone
Well there's something you need to know
The Wrong Way To Be lyrics - The Cribs
Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
I guess we were never going to be friends
I've never really liked people that are too right on
Mind you, I'd love to turn my back on everything I've preached for years
I bet that's a right laugh
Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
And no you can't come back to mine
Because I know that you will find
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
You were funny the other night
You were just name dropping
Talking about scene hopping
Dreaming of chart topping
I remember, just before I walked away
Wondering to myself
How someone that lives so much of their lives through other people
Could possible have so much to say
Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
And no you can't come back to mine
Because I know that you will find
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
You know, your scene has got a lot to answer for
Like all these clued up arseholes
Trying to set us and Wakefield at war
You know it's not right but it's something you like
Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
And no you can't come back to mine
But you will always blow my mind
Yeah the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
I guess we were never going to be friends
I've never really liked people that are too right on
Mind you, I'd love to turn my back on everything I've preached for years
I bet that's a right laugh
Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
And no you can't come back to mine
Because I know that you will find
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
You were funny the other night
You were just name dropping
Talking about scene hopping
Dreaming of chart topping
I remember, just before I walked away
Wondering to myself
How someone that lives so much of their lives through other people
Could possible have so much to say
Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
And no you can't come back to mine
Because I know that you will find
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
You know, your scene has got a lot to answer for
Like all these clued up arseholes
Trying to set us and Wakefield at war
You know it's not right but it's something you like
Because a guy I used to know
Is returning now to show
That the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
And no you can't come back to mine
But you will always blow my mind
Yeah the wrong way to be
Is rubbing off on me
Haunted lyrics - The Cribs
Now I'm haunted by dreams of you
And all of the things that we've been through
I'm sorry is nothing new
I'm haunted by dreams of you
Cos you was on our road
The day we were told
That you are not coming home
I'm haunted by dreams of you
I'm haunted by dreams of you
Cos we was on the road
The day we were told
That you are not coming home
Now I'm haunted by dreams of you
I'm haunted by dreams of you
But I'd a drink, it's not what you think
You mis-read what I said, and left me for dead
And you was on our road
The day we were told
That you are not coming home
And all of the things that we've been through
I'm sorry is nothing new
I'm haunted by dreams of you
Cos you was on our road
The day we were told
That you are not coming home
I'm haunted by dreams of you
I'm haunted by dreams of you
Cos we was on the road
The day we were told
That you are not coming home
Now I'm haunted by dreams of you
I'm haunted by dreams of you
But I'd a drink, it's not what you think
You mis-read what I said, and left me for dead
And you was on our road
The day we were told
That you are not coming home
Things Aren't Going To Change lyrics - The Cribs
Well I've been drinking for days and I'm happy to say
That we've been leading you on so you'd do it our way
You've had a little success but you're too hard to impress
So raise your standards, change your number
It's for the best
And thought I don't want you to stay
There's something about the way that
You say the words that you've rehearsed, now
I think I should explain
Things aren't gonna change
And last October when it took over
The boy was grabbed by his new controller
I'm shifting all the blame
But I still I feel the same
I didn't know what to say when I saw you alone
You say you do what you want but you do what you're told
I fell in love with you gaze, I fell in love with your name
We need to know what to say if we're playing your games
And though I don't want you to stay
There's something about the way that
You say the words that you've rehearsed, now
I think I should explain
Things aren't going to change
And last October when it took over
The boy was grabbed by his new controller
I'm shifting all the blame
But still I feel the same, yeah
And although it makes no difference I still know that
It's got nothing to do with the way I'm without you
That we've been leading you on so you'd do it our way
You've had a little success but you're too hard to impress
So raise your standards, change your number
It's for the best
And thought I don't want you to stay
There's something about the way that
You say the words that you've rehearsed, now
I think I should explain
Things aren't gonna change
And last October when it took over
The boy was grabbed by his new controller
I'm shifting all the blame
But I still I feel the same
I didn't know what to say when I saw you alone
You say you do what you want but you do what you're told
I fell in love with you gaze, I fell in love with your name
We need to know what to say if we're playing your games
And though I don't want you to stay
There's something about the way that
You say the words that you've rehearsed, now
I think I should explain
Things aren't going to change
And last October when it took over
The boy was grabbed by his new controller
I'm shifting all the blame
But still I feel the same, yeah
And although it makes no difference I still know that
It's got nothing to do with the way I'm without you
The Watch Trick lyrics - The Cribs
And now I know in my mind
its time to feel round
cos that is the best way to deal this I find.
Oh I don't know
time goes so slow
and maybe its time to let go I don't know.
I know its not right
Now i must wake i know i must take you home.
How can I feel right
when you are the one
that I like to see and be with on a night
and all that I ask
dont give your self away to easy.
Dont give yourself to me
now I know its not right my friend
now I must wake i know i must take you home
now i must take you home
always i go alone
if you want to id like to stay
cos if you always insist
i will have to resist cos noone likes that anyway
its time to feel round
cos that is the best way to deal this I find.
Oh I don't know
time goes so slow
and maybe its time to let go I don't know.
I know its not right
Now i must wake i know i must take you home.
How can I feel right
when you are the one
that I like to see and be with on a night
and all that I ask
dont give your self away to easy.
Dont give yourself to me
now I know its not right my friend
now I must wake i know i must take you home
now i must take you home
always i go alone
if you want to id like to stay
cos if you always insist
i will have to resist cos noone likes that anyway
You Were Always The One lyrics - The Cribs
I get the feeling they got you believing
It's better to be loved than left out
But it's like you told me
It's nothing to do with acceptance
It's all about escaping
Then you heard that there's always someone
Forget the wrong one
Disregard your past
But she came with feelings too complex to be amusing
You're gonna get in trouble with that
You're gonna get in trouble with that
You're gonna struggle with that
And I know I said I needed some time alone
And I know I never seem to pick up the phone
And though you will see me with someone else
You were always the one
And I know I said I needed some time alone
And I know I never seem to pick up the phone
And though you will see me with someone else
Yeah, you were always the one
I get the feeling they got you believing
It's better to be loved than left out
But yeah, like you told me
It's nothing to do with acceptance
It's all about escaping
I sentenced myself now a long long time ago
And I hope to be free
But I guess that you've heard that before
So will you try and look surprised
When you find out I lied?
And I know I said I needed some time alone
And I know I never seem to pick up the phone
And though you will see me with someone else
You were always the one
And I know I said I needed some time alone
And I know I never seem to pick up the phone
And though you will see me with someone else
You were always the one
It's better to be loved than left out
But it's like you told me
It's nothing to do with acceptance
It's all about escaping
Then you heard that there's always someone
Forget the wrong one
Disregard your past
But she came with feelings too complex to be amusing
You're gonna get in trouble with that
You're gonna get in trouble with that
You're gonna struggle with that
And I know I said I needed some time alone
And I know I never seem to pick up the phone
And though you will see me with someone else
You were always the one
And I know I said I needed some time alone
And I know I never seem to pick up the phone
And though you will see me with someone else
Yeah, you were always the one
I get the feeling they got you believing
It's better to be loved than left out
But yeah, like you told me
It's nothing to do with acceptance
It's all about escaping
I sentenced myself now a long long time ago
And I hope to be free
But I guess that you've heard that before
So will you try and look surprised
When you find out I lied?
And I know I said I needed some time alone
And I know I never seem to pick up the phone
And though you will see me with someone else
You were always the one
And I know I said I needed some time alone
And I know I never seem to pick up the phone
And though you will see me with someone else
You were always the one
The Lights Went Out lyrics - The Cribs
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Thought it wasn't right to tease me
When no one was around
And you turned me up, and you broke my heart
And you said, yeah you heard every sound
Got really hot in the morning
So I went to blow me down
And you don't know when the lights went out
But the lights are out now
Don't know what you do, but oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Supposed to connect some New York boys
Would have had to go way out of town
And I want no drugs, couldn't get the stuff
And you know what, I think they hate me now
Got really hot in the morning
So I went to blow me down
And you don't know when the lights went out
But the lights are out now
Don't know what you do, but oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Thought it wasn't right to tease me
When no one was around
And you turned me up, and you broke my heart
And you said, yeah you heard every sound
Got really hot in the morning
So I went to blow me down
And you don't know when the lights went out
But the lights are out now
Don't know what you do, but oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Supposed to connect some New York boys
Would have had to go way out of town
And I want no drugs, couldn't get the stuff
And you know what, I think they hate me now
Got really hot in the morning
So I went to blow me down
And you don't know when the lights went out
But the lights are out now
Don't know what you do, but oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh
Why can't I be like the one who went over?
It's over, get over, woah-oh

Things You Should Be Knowing lyrics - The Cribs
It's been sometime since I first met you
Noone thinks about you more than I do
If you won't let me find you
How am I gonna get through
I was straight and acted like a fool
You were drunk and unbelievably cool
You won't find a friend who
Knows you like I do
It's been sometime since I first met you
Noone thinks about you more than I do
If you won't let me find you
How am I gonna get through
I was straight and acted like a fool
You were drunk and unbelievably cool
You won't find a friend who
Knows you like I do
It's time you should be going
But there's noone home
I guess I'm alone
There's things you should be knowing
But noone ever asked me before
And you can know the rest if you want to
And everytime they are together
They all crowed around to take a picture
Don't you feel you have to
In fact I feel obliged to
If you wont let me find you
How am I gonna get through
Noone thinks about you more than I do
If you won't let me find you
How am I gonna get through
I was straight and acted like a fool
You were drunk and unbelievably cool
You won't find a friend who
Knows you like I do
It's been sometime since I first met you
Noone thinks about you more than I do
If you won't let me find you
How am I gonna get through
I was straight and acted like a fool
You were drunk and unbelievably cool
You won't find a friend who
Knows you like I do
It's time you should be going
But there's noone home
I guess I'm alone
There's things you should be knowing
But noone ever asked me before
And you can know the rest if you want to
And everytime they are together
They all crowed around to take a picture
Don't you feel you have to
In fact I feel obliged to
If you wont let me find you
How am I gonna get through
Another Number lyrics - The Cribs
I'm alone and I'm cold
Just another number on another row
I'm alone and I'm cold
Just another number on another row
And I never knew my name
And I never knew my name
I'm alone and I'm cold
Just another number on another row
I'm alone and I'm cold
Just another number on another row
I dissapear for hours
Over the smallest things, yeah
I dissapear for hours
Bah dah, bah dah dah
Bah bah bah dah dah dah
Bah dah, bah dah dah
Bah bah dah dah dah dah
And I never knew my name
And I never knew my name
Just another number on another row
I'm alone and I'm cold
Just another number on another row
And I never knew my name
And I never knew my name
I'm alone and I'm cold
Just another number on another row
I'm alone and I'm cold
Just another number on another row
I dissapear for hours
Over the smallest things, yeah
I dissapear for hours
Bah dah, bah dah dah
Bah bah bah dah dah dah
Bah dah, bah dah dah
Bah bah dah dah dah dah
And I never knew my name
And I never knew my name
What About Me lyrics - The Cribs
I have always had
A real problem with getting down
But it's alright you know
I really don't mind that you know
I know you've been sleeping around
Your bed's full of idiots from town to town
But it's alright you know
I really don't mind that you know
Out of sight
It's not right, she said
Leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh
Out of sight (Oooh)
It's not right, she said
Come on, leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh
And now, I'm back to the plot
I'm sorry I got side-tracked there, I'm bad out of plan
But it's alright you know
I really don't mind that you know
The words that they said sounded like
They were underwater, but I understand
But it's alright you know
I really don't mind that you know
Out of sight
It's not right, she said
Leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh
Out of sight (Oooh)
It's not right, she said
Come on, leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh
Out of sight
It's not right, she said
Leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh
Out of sight (Oooh)
It's not right, she said
Come on, leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh
Learning How To Fight lyrics - The Cribs
And I'm learning how to fight
kissing you goodnight
But I still can't really tell you why I'm blue
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
And the reasons you'll never really find
You took me out to breakfast
I guess that means that's better
But in your room I still know what to do
And now I know I've got to
Do all these things without you
Although I don't ...
It still tells me what to do, yeah!
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
But I still can't really tell you why I'm blue
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
And the reasons you'll never really find
You took me out in the night too
I'd have to see what I'd do
because when I do it, then we do it all!
because that's what I'm like with you
And now I know you've gone home
Back to wherever you came from
And all I've got is a song
On a record I don't even own, aaaah!
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
But I still can't really tell you bout my blues
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
And the reasons you'll never really fi-i-ind
Find, find, fi-i-i-iind
kissing you goodnight
But I still can't really tell you why I'm blue
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
And the reasons you'll never really find
You took me out to breakfast
I guess that means that's better
But in your room I still know what to do
And now I know I've got to
Do all these things without you
Although I don't ...
It still tells me what to do, yeah!
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
But I still can't really tell you why I'm blue
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
And the reasons you'll never really find
You took me out in the night too
I'd have to see what I'd do
because when I do it, then we do it all!
because that's what I'm like with you
And now I know you've gone home
Back to wherever you came from
And all I've got is a song
On a record I don't even own, aaaah!
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
But I still can't really tell you bout my blues
And I'm learning how to fight
Kissing you goodnight
And the reasons you'll never really fi-i-ind
Find, find, fi-i-i-iind
Tri'elle lyrics - The Cribs
I went to bed the very first time
We talked the same
We were talking about the things
That really get her down
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
I went to bed but spent too long
Looking round
We were talking about the things
That really get me down
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Why does it always happen like this?
We talked the same
We were talking about the things
That really get her down
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
I went to bed but spent too long
Looking round
We were talking about the things
That really get me down
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Woah-oh, Woah-oh, I want you to remind me
Why does it always happen like this?
Baby Don't Sweat lyrics - The Cribs
Now and again I've got a lot to say
And I can't afford you this one
Oh yeah, she asks me where I'm going
Now and again I'll find a friend who knows
She asks me where I'm going
Oh yeah, she asks me where I'm going
Well if you're always in debt
Baby don't sweat
I promise it will always be fine
I'll never forget
I'm always in debt
Baby you opened my mind
Now and again I've got a lot to say
And I can't afford you this one
Oh yeah, she asks me where I'm going
Now and again I'll find a friend who knows
She asks me where I'm going
Oh yeah, she asks me where I'm going
Well if you're always in debt
Baby don't sweat
I promise you it'll always be fine
I'll never forget
I'm always in debt to you
Baby you opened my mind
So if you're always in debt
Baby don't sweat
I promise you'll always be fine
I'll never forget you
I'm always in debt to you
Harder you blew my mind
Now and again I've got a lot to say
And I can't afford you this one
Oh yeah, she asks me where I'm going
Now and again I find a friend who knows
She asks me where I'm going
Oh yeah, she asks me where I'm going
And I can't afford you this one
Oh yeah, she asks me where I'm going
Now and again I'll find a friend who knows
She asks me where I'm going
Oh yeah, she asks me where I'm going
Well if you're always in debt
