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
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
They kept there ribs, i'm sure of it
It's what they're all about
But getting inside counts
Mass virility, has made me forget empathy
Dig your hole
It's what we're here for
To make you feel important
cause you knew we were aborted
It's the same things that were saying all the time
(they may be views , but they'll never be mine)
The mid-shelf masturbation
Leaves a smear on half the nation
Its the same things that they're saying all the time
Oh your virility, has made me forget empathy
dig your hole
its what they're here for
To make you feel important
cause you knew we were aborted
its the same things that we're saying all the time
The mid-shelf masturbation
Leaves a smear on half the nation
It's the same things that they're saying all the time
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
They kept there ribs, i'm sure of it
It's what they're all about
But getting inside counts
Mass virility, has made me forget empathy
Dig your hole
It's what we're here for

It's the same things that were saying all the time
