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
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

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?
Never get a chance if something ever happens
Yeah

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
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
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
