Back In Your Arms lyrics - Marc Broussard

 (originally by Bruce Springsteen)

In my dream my love was lost

I lived by luck and faith

I carried you inside of me

Prayed it wouldn't be too late

Now I'm standing on this empty road

Where nothing moves but the wind

And honey I just want to be

Back in your arms

Back in your arms again

Back in your arms

Back in your arms again

You said once I was your treasure

And I saw your face in every star

The promises we make at night

Oh that's all they are

Unless we fill them with faith and love

They're as empty as the howling wind

Now darling I just want to be

Back in your arms

Back in your arms again

Back in your arms

Back in your arms again

You came to me with love and kindness

But all my life I've been a prisoner of my own blindness

I met you with indifference

And I don't know why

Now I wake from my dream

I wake from my dream to this world

Where all this shadow and darkness is

And a dark sky unfurls

And all the love I've thrown away and lost

Honey I'm longing for again

Now there's nothing I wouldn't do if I could be

Back in your arms

Back in your arms again

Back in your arms

Back in your arms...

Fire lyrics - Marc Broussard

 I don't need know where

You came from girl

'Cause it wouldn't change the way I feel

Ever since you walked in the room

I've been trying to find out your deal

I swear I've never, never felt like this before

They can take my treasure, Cause it's you that I adore

Oh now, now babe you light my

Fire, with your love I never get tired

Babe you got me buzzing like a wire

Don't you ever cut it

'Cause your lovin is the stuff I need

I've never seen such a beautiful thing

Than when you just walk right past

Give me a clue to whether me and you

Can get started and make it last

Friends say I'm lonely

That I'm waiting for a day that won't come

But if they only

Could see I've found the one

'Cause now, now babe you light my

Fire, with your love I never get tired

Babe you got me buzzing like a wire

Don't you ever cut it

'Cause your lovin is the stuff I need

The stuff I need

You know not to play with fire

But I'm burning with desire

Your wish is my command

I am your fireman

You light my fire

My fire

Oh, my fire

Oh, my fire

Oh, my baby, my fire

With your love I never get tired

Babe you got me buzzing like a wire

Don't you ever cut it

'Cause your lovin is the stuff I need

I'm on fire

With your love I never get tired

Babe you got me buzzing like a wire

Don't you ever cut it

'Cause your lovin is the stuff I need

The stuff I need

Yeah, yeah

Ah

I'm on fire

Mood lyrics - Marc Broussard

 I don't wanna believe that you'd ever do something

But I can't lie to what my eyes reveal

If you my dear would you please start talking

Cuz I can't abide what we have here

Said the dirt on your hands

Is more than I can stand from you

There's something your about your mood too

There's something about your mood

There's something about your mood

There's something about you...

I gotta know, I gotta know

There's something about your mood

I don't mean to be rude

But there's just something about your mood

There's something about your mood

You say that I'm reading situations

And coming out wrong [?]

We'll I don't need these complications

Cuz what you've done to me should be a crime

The sweat on your clothes

Says all I need to know about you

There's something about your mood

There's something about your mood

There's something about your mood

What are you try to do?

There's something about you...

I gotta know

There's something about your mood

What am I to conclude?

When there's just something about your mood

There's something about your mood...

Hoping it's just a mood

I don't need your attitude

Don't make me out the fool

Pardon me, but there is something about your mood

There's something about your mood

[?]

There's something about you...

There's something about your mood

I don't mean to be rude

But there's just something about you...

There's something about your mood

Please Come Home For Christmas lyrics - Marc Broussard

 (originally by Charles Brown)

Bells will be ringing the glad, glad news

Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues

My baby's gone, I have no friends

To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing Silent Night

Christmas carols by candlelight

Please, come home for Christmas

Please, come home for Christmas

If not for Christmas, by New Year's night

Friends and relations send salutations

Sure as the stars shine above

Yes, this is Christmas, yes, Christmas, my dear

The time of year to be with the one you love

So won't you tell me, you'll never more roam

Christmas and New Year's will find you home

There'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain

And I'll be happy, happy once again

Oh, there'll no more sorrow, no grief and pain

And I'll be happy, Christmas once again

Eat Me lyrics - The Cribs

 Eat me, I've got time to waste

Eat me, I'm a man of taste

I'm fading in your point of view

No manners, you make me puke

It's too easy to release endorphins

Micro-manage every single portion

A thought in a reptilian brain

A soul mate with hose-like veins

So eat me, 'cos I've got time to waste

Eat me, I'm a man of taste

I'm fading in your point of view

No manners…

I'm a dog bone, I'm a piece of meat

So eat me, 'cos I still believe

All of the clichés and all of the hate

Has served this to me on a plate

The walk home, the faded floor

The porch light, the bathroom door

Pupils dilating I'm losing the light

Seeing things in black and white

So eat me, 'cos I've got time to waste

Eat me, I'm a man of taste

I'm fading in your point of view

No manners, you make me puke

So eat me and you'll survive the winter

A distorted view like the hall of mirrors

A thought in a reptilian brain

You've no manners…

Fairer Sex lyrics - The Cribs

 What happens when the fairer sex

Becomes unfair, whatever next?

And all the time I felt the same about you

Was never in your hall of fame

And it was pretty rude

With talk of flames tattoos

I don't think that's cool

And the cards played by you

Sexually alludes

With talk of his bathroom

I had a friend I couldn't help

I'm sorry my friend I can't help myself

If I could save the world I would

But no-one seems to give a fuck

And the cards played by you

Sexually alludes

With talk of his bathroom

What happens when the fairer sex

Treats you unfair, whatever next?

Fevers And Seizures lyrics - The Cribs

 Said and done, yeah I know

Said and done, yeah I know

And I know that what they said was wrong

Said and done, yeah I know

Said and done, yeah I know

And I know that what they said was wrong

You see I know you too well you don't think I do but...

Why do you always have a seizure

Every time that you see her?

They always come along in threes yeah, that's the time to be free yeah!

Said and done, yeah I know

Said and done, yeah I know

And I know that what they said was wrong

You see I know you too well you don't think I do but...

Why do you always have a seizure

Every time that you see her?

I know you do really but...oh oh

They always come along in threes yeah, that's the time to be free yeah!

And when you're wanting some

I guess you're feeling dumb

Why do you always have a seizure

Every time that you see her?

They always come along in threes yeah, that's the time to be free yeah!

Finger-Nailed For You lyrics - The Cribs

 (originally by Comet Gain)

I like the warm nights, I like the rain fall

I like it best when it used to be

Some pretty somewhere, where we'll share

A mixtape and a cigarette

If I could cuddle up your lies

Still finger-nailed for you

I like the photograph of the photographs

And the tough teeth of Mexico

I like the short breath before the big rest

Although I never let it go

If I could cuddle up your lies

Still finger-nailed for you

Still finger-nailed for you

I like the warm nights, I like the rain fall

I like it best when it used to be

Some pretty somewhere, where we'll share

A mixtape and a cigarette

If I could cuddle up your lies

Still finger-nailed for you

Still finger-nailed for you

Get Yr Hands Out Of My Grave lyrics - The Cribs

 Does absence make the heart grow fonder

Or does time heal all?

It's a hard question to ask

On a long-distance call

While beaten by selfish urges

My mind recalls

The cheated, the blind

The most virtuous of all

The lines of battle

Could've been drawn two years ago

But where were you?

Get your hands out of my grave

There is no future

There is just one long past

But I won't cry

I'll pretend like I don't mind

Does absence make the heart grow fonder

Or does time heal all?

It's a hard question to ask

On a long-distance call

While beaten by selfish urges

My mind recalls

The cheated, the blind

The most virtuous of all

The only message

Is the one that never gets through

It's only lies

Seems to me it's only lies

You were drawn to me

But I'll never be drawn to you

And you know why...

Get your hands out of my grave

Glandular Fever Got The Best Of Me lyrics - The Cribs

 It was half my life ago

I was drinking out in the snow

And the next day I was weak as a kitty

Glandular fever got the best of me

I had my first real girlfriend

It felt so nice to be loved again

Maybe that's why I got the kissing disease?

Glandular fever got the best of me

Sleeping 'cos there's nothing else to do

At least I didn't have to go to school, oh no…

Yeah I was listening to Pinkerton

Mine sweeping 'round all the pubs

It was a whole new way of life to me but then

Glandular fever got the best of me

Yep

It was half my life ago

I'd been drinking out in the snow

And now it's left me with the curse of apathy

Glandular fever got the best of me

Happy Is Just A State Of Mind, And A State Of Mind Is Just Electrical Impulses lyrics - The Cribs

 Happy's just a state of mind

And a state of mind is just electrical impulses

So don't base your life

On something you can't control

You always try to control it

But it's just so hard to do

So forget about it and live your life

Cool

Sad is just a state of mind

And a state of mind is just electrical impulses

So don't base your life

On something you can't control

You always try to control it

But it's just so hard to do

So forget about it and live your life

Cool

I Gotta Go To L.A. lyrics - The Cribs

 "I gotta go to L.A., see a Hollywood producer"

I had a date for the last hour on earth

I See Your Pictures Every Day lyrics - The Cribs

 Without the chain around your neck

No-one knows of the love that you've known

How can I forget, I see your pictures every day

Reduced to simple features like you've accepted your fate

What if they loved you the best

And wrote it in cursive so you don't forget?

Wandered so far that you don't know

How you're ever getting back

Until the call up I'm not losing hope

Do you even have to ask?

And now that your shackles did break

Will you chase me through empty dreamscapes?

Though you're getting further, I see your pictures every day

Nothing really changes just more washed out and grey

What if they loved you the best

And wrote it in cursive so you can't forget?

Wandered so far that you don't know

How you're ever getting back

Well call me naive but I'm not losing hope

This one's for all of Portland's missing cats

I Was Her Man, But I Done Her Wrong lyrics - The Cribs

I know a girl from a nowhere town

She loves no-one more than me

She likes to pretend and to make believe

For as far as the eye can see

And I was her man but I done her wrong

And if you'd seen what I've seen a million times before

It'd make your heart stand still

And I was her man but I done her wrong

But if you live a sound life abstinent and wise

It makes your heart stand still anyway

I know a girl comes from nowhere town

She gives me everything I need

Sometimes things work out just like you dreamed

Inside the window steams

Outside freezing grey, broad daylight, freezing grey

I was her man but I done her wrong

And if you'd seen what I'd seen a million times before

It'd make your heart stand still

Well I was her man but I done her wrong

But if you live a sound life abstinent and wise

It makes your heart stand still anyway

I'm Still Blaming You lyrics - The Cribs

 "Are you ready Lawrence?"

You must know that I don't care

Don't search for the things you left back there

We have a right to stand alone

Oh no

You got away with telling all those lies

'Cos we were too messed up to recognise

That people think we're in the wrong

It's not on

I don't care what you say about us

I'm still blaming you

And if you don't like it

Go away

Maybe we weren't ready

Maybe we will never be?

So if you don't like it

Go away

You must know that I don't care

Don't return for the things you left back there

We have a right to stand alone

Oh no

You got away with telling all those lies

'Cos we were too messed up to recognise

That people think we're in the wrong

It's not on

It's not on you know

That's so thoughtful, a suspect parcel

Sent for me and you

And if you don't like it

Throw away

Profit sharing, I'm past caring ("I'm past caring")

Who here's selling who? ("I'm still sniffing glue")

I don't care what you say about us

I'm still blaming you

And if you don't like it

Go away

You couldn't give a toss

Well, that's your loss

Yes I'm still blaming you

And if you don't like it

Go away

In The Room lyrics - The Cribs

 Well maybe

Passive participant

Though the scene has changed

The game remains

Pre-determined

From straight suburban houses

They celebrate their own

Wish that I'd have known

Subscribing to the old standard

So what is it that's changing, really?

When the men in the room are still making all the rules?

Yeah, the old boys club does what it always does

And now they're going to judge me

And judge me from a privileged, rich kids point of view

Commodify the culture

Grab that corporate dollar for you

When your precious small town poetry

Meets big city reality

It's just business

So what is it that's changing, really?

When the men in the room are still making all the rules?

Yeah, the old boys club does what it always does

And now they're gonna try to judge me

And judge me from a privileged, rich kids point of view

You can't tell me cos I was in the room

I was in the room!

Privileged point of view!

So what is it that's changing, really?

When the men in the room are still making all the rules?

Yeah, the old boys club does what it always does

So if you're gonna go on and judge me

Then judge me from a privileged, rich kids point of view

Commodify the culture

Grab that corporate dollar for you

Lost In The Crowd lyrics - The Cribs

 You come on undecided

Is that why you walk behind us?

I ignored your modern stylings

Cos I know you like to try things

I thought you was so strange dressed up for fame

And then lost you in the crowd where you all looked the same...

But it's never too late to find a way to feel

But you've gotta look for help and ask them what's the deal

Yeah I lost you in the crowd cos you all looked the same...

I came with, uninvited

Held at arms length regardless

I ignored your modern stylings

Cos I knew you liked to try things

I needed help back then so it's kind of a shame

That I lost you in the crowd where you all looked the same

But it's never too late to find a way to feel

But it's well after dark and no one knows the deal

I needed help back then so it's kind of a shame

That I lost you in the crowd where you all looked the same

Modern Way lyrics - The Cribs

 (originally by Kaiser Cheifs)

I know cause I've seen it

It was great and I want it

There's no point sitting

Going crazy on my own

Do you know what

I was put here in the world for

Could you tell me

In three words or more?

It's the only way of getting out of here

It's the only way of getting out of here

Take a lesson

From the ones that have been there

My brain is not damaged

But in need of some repair

Hold on to the basics

But we can't change all our tactics

There's no point sitting

Going crazy on your own

It's the only way of getting out of here

It's the only way of getting out of here

This is the modern way

Faking it everyday

Taking it as we come

We're not the only ones

Is that what we used to say

This is the modern way?

I know where I'm going

And that we are ever knowing

And I will stop at nothing

Just to get what I want

It's the only way of getting out of here

It's the only way of getting out of here

This is the modern way

Faking it everyday

Taking it as we come

We're not the only ones

Is that what we used to say

This is the modern way?

This is the modern way

Faking it everyday

Taking it as we come

We're not the only ones

Is that what we used to say

This is the modern way?

My Shadow Tags On Behind lyrics - The Cribs

 (originally by Adam Green)

Everything was wasted, tasted, so face it kid

You were never what they wanted

I'm a bird on a tree, I'm a fish outside

The city is a breast dangling from the sky

Oh, my feet go when we show the logo

My shadow tags on behind

Oh, the world was never meant to be the Brooklyn Bridge

Arcades and soda and tulips

Chimneys and houses and old things

Computers and loving the cold things

Oh, my feet go when we show the logo

My shadow tags on behind

Oh, time is an angry train of commuters

Love is a golden bag of computers

I know that everyone's got something that they do

But I don't wanna be obsolete to you

Oh, I don't want to carry my bag on one shoulder for you

Oh, why is once never enough?

And why did you have to cum sticky stuff?

I know that everyone's got something that they do

But I don't wanna be obsolete to you

No, I don't want to carry my bag on one shoulder for you

North Of England lyrics - The Cribs

 Some of them came from the north of England

And some came from abroad

But I lied and I cheated and they never found out

And it makes me feel down

You'll never quite know what it's like to be ignorant

Until you've spent time in our town

'Cos there's no-one 'round here that is anything like us at all

Makes me glad you're not around

The sun came up on the north of England

But it doesn't seem to matter when you're not around

And it only seems to me to be a matter of time

Before you're moving even further south

You never quite know what it means to be intimate

Until you've been around

'Cos that's what it's like

And if there's someone you're thinking is alright

They're always wanting something else

Tried to go from A to C

I tried to go by car

And it ended up with everyone trying to talk their way out

But that always seems to be

The way things go for you and me

Some of them came from the north of England

And some came from abroad

But whatever we're having then believe me I'll try it

Don't believe me I'm lying

All the randoms are dying, oh yeah

On A Hotel Wall lyrics - The Cribs

 Feel like baby Berthe half the time

Know that you will

Do your worst and I'll do mine

Know that you say

Things that happened in a former life

I hold onto, tight

And you're not the body type

Alright, you win...

Don't be surprised

'Cos he was so in love

Yeah he was so in love

Performance art with broken necks

His imagination killed his interest in sex

It's no great big waste

Pretense preserved for a well-read guy

Who's chosen the day

You know he's not the type

To hang on and wait

Don't be surprised

'Cos he was so in love

Yeah he was so in love

Dear God, I'm sure

Things I wish I'd have known before

Wouldn't help anyway this time

As she's all enthralled

While they paint her face on a hotel wall

Didn't wait either way this time

On The Floor lyrics - The Cribs

 When you're lost and alone

You're lost and alone

When you're lost and alone

You're lost and alone

And I know it was nice but it's changing me inside

Until you find your mind

I left mine on the floor

And I know it was nice but it's changing me inside

Until you find your mind

I left mine on the floor

And I know that it was nice but you'd never want it twice

Until you find your mind

I left mine on the floor

Opaline And Evergreen lyrics - The Cribs

 An afternoon under low clouds

So close that I can't breathe

And getting high just brought them lower down

'Til the sun bleeds on me

Now I'm back on your side of town

Hung around while the world burned down

If I can find you in my dreams

Opaline and evergreen we'll be

I had to go as far as I could go

Without falling off the end

Then on the corner where Sunflowers grow

She calls me back again

Now I'm back on your side of town

Hung around while the world burned down

And then, while waiting at the wall

The love returned

I watched it all unfold

Silently

From the blossom to the stone

Now I'm back on your side of town

Hung around while the world burned down

If I can find you in my dreams

Opaline and evergreen we'll be

Orange Star Rattle lyrics - The Cribs

 Scratched out lines tell the story of your life

Like a bullet spinning out on the ice

Holding back for sure

But I know that one day

It's gonna be worth it

When you're on the way out

Still wish I could act

Speak to you the only way that I feel free

Another love song to who you used to be

But my heads out there

Where the orange star rattle

Is all that matters

Not the feelings after

And if the feeling leaves me

The song always reminds me, so then

Meet me on the periphery

Know that that's where I'll be, oh yeah

I'm glad that you understand

Shot in slow-motion so I see it all

Frosted mint green paint on all the walls

And the thing I just can't stop thinking

It's the classic feeling

Wondering if you'll be there

And if the feeling leaves me

The song always reminds me, so then

Meet me on the periphery

That's where we'll be happy again

I finally understand

One day, I'll see it for what it was

A brief obsession alive again

It's all in my head

But it could be perfect, finally

One day, I'll see it for what it was

A brief obsession alive again

It's all in my head

But, God it's perfect, finally

Regina, Don't Get Lost lyrics - The Cribs

 Purple evening light

Can't explain just why, this time

Could be the last shot

Playing dress up

Is that what you want from me?

Knowing how it feels, in the heels

Of the others

Who went before

The evening holds your thoughts

Regina, don't get lost

Illinois in march

But will you play, or pass, or run?

Call from a stranger

Made some changes

My body's giving up on me

In the parking lot of every rest stop

I'll be fine

Just leave me here

The evening holds your thoughts

Regina, don't get lost

I don't need your words in my diary

Run A Mile lyrics - The Cribs

 Overseas, under leaves

In the room, inside you

Every time I'm all alone

Taking turns to turn it 'round

Can't you see it's them or me?

We're wasting time

Run a mile

You've labelled me but you'll never see, yeah

Getting back, laying low

I don't remember anything like that at all

I'll nod my head, but won't agree

I'd never seen that side to me

Don't you see it's them or me?

We're wasting time

Run a mile

You've labelled me but you'll never see, yeah

Don't you see it's you or me?

We're wasting time

Run a mile

Can't you see it's killing me?

So Hot Now lyrics - The Cribs

 I was obsessed with what if's

I was unusually selfish

No one believes I said this

Just make small talk, oh forget it

Tan lines on flabby body

Says he was wearing a vest

Wife-beater chic is so hot now

Nice to know you're laying with the best

A negative of a body image

No way to make it mine

They stole your soul through photos

Ten years on you left for me to find

Shyness is a curse and shyness could be the end of me

And what are you?

Song From Practice 1 lyrics - The Cribs

 What's the other side of consistency?

What's on the other side of consistency?

Yeah you come on

You always fall

I'm always falling away

Anyway...

And I go round

And I go round

When I go around

The lost and found

What's the other side of consistency?

What's on the other side of capability?

Yeah you come on

You'll always fall

I'm always falling away

In a way...

And I go round

And I go round

When I go around

The lost and found

Len, where do you keep 'Suburban Commando'?

Sucked Sweet lyrics - The Cribs

 Sucked sweet, we're fading together

Still at war, refused the white feather

From yourself and what you believe

Made yourself harder to see

But conjoined you're stuck to me

And I'm convinced all the things I

Can't tell you could lead to

Death by misadventure

An explosion of the lungs

A choking on my tongue

Did you stand beneath the sun even once?

The things we held inside us are now trying to escape

Almost makes me wish we'd burned in the first blaze

Stuck between the worlds so if we have to watch it die

Let's just hope the downswing is as thrilling as the ride

And the clothes don't fit well anymore

You lived long enough to become bored

The black dog lives in your head

And milked until you bled

Ignore what Candy said

She won't help you

The things we held inside us are now trying to escape

Almost makes me wish we'd burned in the first blaze

Stuck between the worlds so if we have to say goodbye

Let's just make the downswing as thrilling as the ride

You can't be kept warm by love

If you never get close enough

Swinging At Shadows lyrics - The Cribs

 When whispers tempted me in

Spent the afternoon pinned

On the far side of the playing field

Then shall we skip to the part

Where I'm hung from the bars, or not?

And then behind the grandstand

Where we made all our plans

The moment came and left without me

On the last bus back

I'm gonna think about that, only

And they'll never let us in

We'll be outsiders once again

If we were ever anything else, I don't know

But that just brings us closer

Yeah, they'll never let us in

We'll be outsiders once again

If we were ever anything else, I don't know, no

We blew the hours we got

From dandelion clocks

And as they drift off they weigh hard on me

'Cause as we draw near the end

It's just if not now, then when? Again

An though we felt we were free

We spent an eternity

With difference places that we need to be

Me without you

And you just fine without me

And they'll never let us in

We'll be outsiders once again

If we were ever anything else, I don't know

But that just brings us closer

Yeah, they'll never let us in

We'll be outsiders once again

If we were ever anything else, I don't know, no

Oh, and after everyone's gone home

They're still out there

And they're swinging at shadows

Wasting time holding lines that have become

Just like the blanks fire from a hired gun

Ringing out for no-one

Yeah, they'll never let us in

We'll be outsiders once again

If we were ever anything else, I don't know

But that just brings us closer

And they'll never let us in

We'll be outsiders once again

If we were ever anything else, I don't know, no

Taken To Tualatin lyrics - The Cribs

 Oh, my little friend

You turned the corner before me

But you're still playing in my mind

As I face this new reality

The wind rattles at the door

And I thought that you had returned

Fools me every time

Oh, I wonder if I'll ever learn?

Couldn't put it into words

But it was always understood

Loved me with a strength

That only an Olympian could

Thinking of the day

Who's night I thought would never come

Chew it over in my mind

And blow it like it's bubblegum

Lonely sentry

Will you still be watching from the stars?

Pink metal heart

Standing on my own

I'm scattered like a bowling pin

When they told me on the phone

You'd been taken to Tualatin

Later in the day

The shadows frame my evening walk

While I'm searching for something

In the streets I thought I knew before

Lonely sentry

Can you still see me from where you are?

Pink metal heart

Oh, Gracie

Stay with me

And protect us still

Oh, Gracie

Stay with me

And protect us still...

Talk Radio lyrics - The Cribs

 Get up, get up, get up

And wake up to, a city

Where forgetting who you are

Is all too easy...

This is a sad throwback to a summer's past

The siren wails again

You won't try that again

God is waiting

I've made peace with all my flaws

Stuck here, counting all the walls

Still learning things from talk radio

Like now, the place that I was born

The streets are filled with bird song

You only hear 'cos things are going wrong

I know it must be hard

But after we're gone, just face it

As the day becomes the night

My time was wasted

Missing the way of the olden days

I know you feel the same

It's all been locked away

What a shame...

I've got post-traumatic needs

Lights out, on the smoky streets

Bleach burned, and covered in paper dust

Not really getting any sleep

Let's have another cup of tea

The only answer, that makes some sense to me, to me

So get up, get up, get up

And wake up to, a city

Where forgetting who you are

Is all too easy...

This is a sad throwback to a summer's past

The siren wails again

You won't try that again

Keep God waiting

You won't try that again, no

God is waiting

Please don't try that again

God is waiting

The Day I Got Lost Again lyrics - The Cribs

Well I'll carry the weight of everyone

And all of the things I left undone

'Til the fires that took away Portland's sun

Were breaking at last, then finally passed

And showed me where I need to be

It's all so familiar

Except the road back, but then

Guess that was my intent?

The day I got lost again

And you could find me if you wanted to

But I'll drive you back around the bend

Looking for a dead end

The day I got lost again

Head down, where eyes won't meet them

Back and forth, without reason

Like a ghost that's haunting Glisan

Reminded me of me

And what I used to be

And maybe I could be again

It's all so familiar

Except the road back, but then

Guess that was my intent?

The day I got lost again

And you could find me if you wanted to

But I'll drive you back around the bend

Better than a dead end

Today I got lost again

Things Could Be Better lyrics - The Cribs

 A last cigarette in the blazing heat

The perfume of trash drifts down the lower east

And around this time, it first crossed my mind

Perhaps

Things could be better than we could imagine

A cut without blood left me free

Like yesterday's stales, fresh from the bakery

And all of the time, it was on my mind

Perhaps

Things could be better than we could imagine

To end up loved or lost

It's all the same to me, oh

The only place left that will let us in

For a few hours' sleep as the laundry spins

And all of this time my mind was on fire

Thinking perhaps

Things could be better than we could imagine

Things could be better than we could imagine

Things could be better than we could imagine

Tryna survive till the music plays

Tonight lyrics - The Cribs

 I hold your hand in mine, tonight

Say that things ain't right, tonight

As I hold your hand in mine, tonight

Don't go

We start to lose the light, tonight

You know, I think you're right, tonight

We kiss we lose the fight, tonight

Don't go

It ain't gonna happen, baby baby

It ain't gonna happen, baby baby

It ain't gonna happen, baby baby

Don't go

We start to lose the light, tonight

You know, I think your right, tonight

We kiss and lose the fight, tonight

Don't go

It ain't gonna happen, baby baby

It ain't gonna happen, baby baby

It ain't gonna happen, baby baby

Don't go

It ain't gonna happen, baby baby

It ain't gonna happen, baby baby

No it ain't gonna happen, baby baby

Don't go

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? lyrics - The Cribs

 (originally by the Shirelles)

Tonight you're mine completely

You give your love so sweetly

Tonight the light of love is in your eyes

But will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure

Or just a moment's pleasure?

Can I believe the magic of your sighs?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

I'd like to know that your love

Is love I can be sure of

So tell me now, and I won't ask again

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Will you still love me tomorrow?

Wish I Knew You In The 90's lyrics - The Cribs

I saw you in a video

But it's alright, cos now I know you

My only hope back then was living in fright

But if you saw me all those years ago

You'd probably laugh, and I wouldn't blame you

It's not like I was ever going anywhere, right?

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah now I just don't care

Cos it all went past me

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah I remember...

Running outside, cos you're panicking

In the silent, early evening

Scream her name but, she don't hear ya

You and your hopes lost in suburbia

Find her photos, pick a favorite

Obsess over it, till we make it

Have a freak out, throw a whitey

Wish I knew you in the 90's

I only have old videos

But it's alright, cos now I know you

Was your hair curly back then

Or am I just remembering something kinda wrong...

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah now I just don't care

Cos it all went past me

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah wish we could go back there

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah now I just don't care

Cos it all went past me

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah I remember...

Yellow Venus lyrics - The Cribs

Yellow Venus

I just can't do it

Yellow Venus

And all the places you will go

I found a reason

To try and leave my home

But across the ocean

I hang the phone up, let you go

Never really

Said with feeling

All the words that I had spoke

Became nothing

More than a promise I had broke

Now that I'm older

It feels like just a cruel joke

To say I'm sorry

Just like we watched the flowers wilt

You can make your choice and stand by it

Or run away and feel like shit

In a clearing

Of a place I used to go

I determined

To try and leave my home

But across the ocean

I hang the phone up, let you go

Never really

Never really

Never really
