Well
I don't know if I'm wrong
'Cause she's only just gone
Here's to another relationship
Bombed by excellent breed of gamete disease
I'm sure when I'm older I'll know what that means
Cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Here's to the man with his face in the mud
And an overcast play just taken away
From the lover's in love at the centre of stage yeah
Loving is fine if you have plenty of time
For walking on stilts at the edge of your mind
Loving is good if your dick's made of wood
And the dick left inside only half understood her
What makes her come and what makes her stay?
What make the animal run, run away yeah
What makes him stall, what makes him stand
And what shakes the elephant now
And what makes a man?
I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know
No I don't know you any more
No, no, no, no...
I don't know if I'm wrong
'Cause
she's only just gone
Why the fuck is this day taking so long
I was a lover of time and once she was mine
I was a lover indeed,
I was covered in weed
Cried when she should and she laughed when she could
Well closer to god is the one who's in love
And
I walk away cause I can
Too many options may kill a man
Loving is fine if it's not in your mind
But I've fucked it up now, too many times
Loving is good if it's not understood
Yeah, but I'm the professor
And feel that
I should know
What makes her come and what makes her stay?
What make the animal run, run away and
What makes him tick apart from him prick
And the lonelier side of the jealousy stick
I don't know,
I don't know, I don't know
No I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
No
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Hell I don't know you any more
No, no, no no...
Well I don't know if I'm wrong
'Cause she's only just gone
Here's to another relationship
Bombed by my excellent breed of gamete disease
I finished it off with some French wine and cheese
La fille danse
Quand elle joue avec moi
Et je pense que je l'aime des fois
Le silence, n'ose pas dis-donc
Quand on est ensemble
Mettre les mots
Sur la petite dodo
Ouvrir les seins
Où un poème plein
Que l'on a posé exprès pour le coeur
Puis au même instant
Se tenir par la main se promener en parlant de tout et de,
De....
Rien...
English
translation:
The dancing girl
When she plays with me
And
I think they are the times I like
The silence
No-one dates to speak
When we are together
Put the words on the little bed time
The girl dances when she plays with me in the rain
I miss her, why?
I don't know
It’s the song, the night, the wind
The little sleeping sound
Open the book
Where a full poem was settled in her heart then
At the same time we're holding hands
We're walking by and talking of everything and anything. 
Mooday (It's got me) x7
Baby, why d'you have to leave?
Something up your sleeve?
Baby, I find it hard to breath
Moody (It's got me) Mooday (It's
got me) x7
Baby, why d'you have to leave?
Why d'you have to break free?
Why d'you have to go?
Moody (It's got me) Mooday (It's

Baby, why d'you have to run?
Looking after number one?

Someone else you'd rather phone? ____

got me)...
I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But a lonelily landed my waltz in her hands
In a way
I felt you were leaving me
I was sure I wouldn't find you at home
And you let me down
Could have knocked off the evening
But you lonelily let him push under your bone
You let me down
It's no use deceiving
Neither of us wanna be alone
You're coming home, you're coming home
I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But
I was lonelily looking for someone to hold
In a way I lost all I believed in
And
I never found myself so low
And you let me down
You could've called if you'd needed
But you lonelily got yourself locked instead
And you let me down
It's one thing being cheated
But you took him all the way through your bed
And now you're coming home
And I'm trying to forgive
You're coming home
And I'm trying to forget
You're coming
And I'm trying to move on
You're coming home
And you haven't called yet
You're coming home
And I'm trying to forgive
You're coming home
I'm just trying to forget
You're coming
I'm trying to move on
You're coming home
But you haven't called
You're coming home
You're coming home, you're coming home
I gave me away
I could have knocked off the evening
But
I lonelily loomed her into my bone
You let me down
There's no use deceiving
Neither of us wanna be alone
I need a piss
Wanna hate
Fuck it up
Come
My love
Eat your meat
Keep your teeth
Run
You lost me
You cost me
You thought me of me, yeah
We're bad
What we do
Stupid fools
You wanna get boned
You wanna get stoned
You wanna get a room like no-one else
You wanna be rich
You wanna be
kitsch
You wanna be the bastard of yourself
You wanna get burned
You wanna get turned
You wanna get fucked inside out
You wanna be ruled
You wanna be fooled
You wanna be a woman like a man
Like a, like a, like a
Woman like a man, like a man, like a woman like a man, like a man
(I'll get a cheaper ticket next time)
Woman like a man, woman like a man, like a woman like a man, woman like a man

I need a hit
Want to wait
Suck it up
Cum
My love
Eat your meat
Itchy feet
Run
You reach me
You bleach me
You teach me of me
How familiar
We're bad
What we do
Stupid fools
You wanna get boned
You wanna get stoned
You wanna get a room like no-one else
You wanna be rich
You wanna be
kitsch
You wanna be the bastard of yourself

Woman like a man, like a man, woman like a man, woman like a man
Among the afflictions
With which I've been marked
I'm not so pretentious
And not quite so dark
I get the feeling you're bored with me
And not through habit or frequency
Did your mother have you easily?
And if there's someplace else you'd rather be
Then go, then go
Then go, then go
Among the intentions
Which have been sought
Numbered and labelled
But none of them bought
I get the feeling you're testing me
You're saturated in urgency
You stick your probe in further
But you're still not pleased
And if there's someplace else you'd rather be
Then go, then go
Then go, then go
Then go, then go
Then go, then go
I would've lied for you
I would've cried for you
I crossed the line for you
I would've died for you...
Don't wake up, baby sister, keep dreaming
Did he fill your cup? Baby sister, keep drinking
Or he'll hit you
He'll bleach your eyes
So be a good girl
Just for the night
And run, run...
Don't get stuck, baby sister
Leave this land
And read your books
Baby sister, wash your hands
Or he'll beat you
He'll bleach your eyes
So be a good girl
Just for the night
And run, run, run, run, run...
Run, baby sister (Ave Maria...)
Run, baby sister
Be my husband, I'll be your wife
Be my husband, I'll be your wife
Be my husband, I'll be your wife
Outside you there is no place to go.
If you want me to I'll cook and sew
If you want me to I'll cook and sew
If you want me to I'll cook and sew
Outside you there is no place to go.
Oh daddy now now love me good
Oh daddy now now love me good
Oh daddy now now love me good
Oh daddy now now love me good
Please don't treat me so doggone mean
Please don't treat me so doggone mean
Please don't treat me so doggone mean
You're the meanest man I ever seen
Oh daddy now now love me good
Oh daddy now now love me good
Oh daddy now now love me good
Oh daddy now now love me good
Stick to the promise man, that you
made me
Stick to the promise man, that you made me
Stick to the promise man, that you made me
That you'll stay away from Rosalie
Oh daddy now now love me good
Oh daddy now now love me good
Oh daddy now now love me good
Oh daddy now now love me good
I'm so childish, a little bit wildish
With my rumdiddlyumdiddlyumdiddly, I'm so deep
Well I'm so garish, a little unfairish
The way
I pick you up, and drop you in a heap
I'm so unfaithful, in fact I'm a plateful
I won't kiss her, but I'll stare her up all night
I'm a stormy little singer, an unstable little swinger
If you're coming, come prepared for a fight
Well I'm so childish, a little bit wildish
With my rumdiddlyumdiddlyumdiddly, I'm so deep
Well I'm so uncaring, do far too much swearing
And if you read through my behaviour, you'll find I'm a creep
I'll play a stormer, yet in the corner
I'll be grumpy on my own, like
I don't care
I'm a stormy little singer, an unstable little swinger
With a big rip, in the arsehole of my flares
Well I'm so childish, a little bit wildish
With my rumdiddlyumdiddlyumdiddly, I'm so mad
I'm so truthful, a little bit bruteful
But in sooth
I know not, why I am so sad
I try my bestest, well as far the restest
Well it's just stuff that comes out wrong, and gets misunderstood
I'm a dandy little dreamer, a doctored misdemeanour
A didactic destiny schemer, bare with me if you would
Lonely soldier go home
Lonely but never alone
Good eyes see nothin' to shoot
Good feet feel good givin' up good boots
Ask your father how do you fall
Ask your father how do you fall
Like a leaf sittin' on the ground
Good for nothin' except kickin' around
She died with her hand stretched out
She died with a hungry mouth
She died with a mind full of doubt
And thoughts of weakening
So may your river never dry
May your mouth never lie
And may you be satisfied to never know why
Sometimes someone just wants to die
Where'd you get those cuts in your
hand?
I thought I told you about playin' in the sand
There's always someone careless with glass
there’s always questions you don't want to ask
She died with her hands stretched out
She died with a hungry mouth
She died with a mind full of doubt
And thoughts of weakening
May your river never dry
May your mouth never lie
And may you be satisfied to never know why
Sometimes someone just wants to die
So lonely soldier go home
Lonely but never alone
Good eyes see nothin' to shoot
Good feet feel good givin' up good boots
Come and see me
Sing me to sleep
Come and free me
Hold me if I need to weep
Maybe it's not the season
Maybe it's not the year
Maybe there's no good reason
Why I'm locked up inside
Just 'cause they wanna hide me
The moon goes bright
The darker they make my night
Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home
Unplayed piano, unplayed piano
Still holds a tune, still holds a tune
Lock on the lid, years years pass by
In a stale, stale room, in the changing of the moon
Maybe it's not that easy, through the only window
Or maybe it's not that hard, in a stale, stale room
Maybe they could release me, stale, stale room
Let the people decide
I've got nothing to hide
I've done nothing wrong
So why have I been here so long?
Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent song
Somebody bring her home
Unplayed pianos
Are often by a window
In a room where nobody loved goes
She sits alone with her silent songs
Somebody bring her home
Unplayed piano
Still holds a tune
Years pass by
In the changing of the moon
This would not have happened if I
hadn't missed my plane.
I would've been there when they told you I'm the rat within the grain.
Then this big misunderstanding out, wouldn't be misunderstood.
You're thinking' someone's trying to fu*k with me, set fire to my wood.
I wouldn't want you to want to be
wanted by me.
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea.
I only wanted to be wonderful, and wonderful is true.
In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you.
It's a stupid situation now where
everything goes wrong.
If you can't tell if I am lying: then you do not belong.
In my bed, go rest your head upon the bones of a bigger man.
And he will cover you with Rockwool and you can close up like a clam.
'Cause I wouldn't want you to want to
be wanted by me.
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea.
I only wanted to be wonderful, and wonderful is true.
In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you.
So go play with your piano and write a
mediocre song
About this shell of mediocrity: pretend there's nothing wrong.
I never thought you were a chicken shit:
I never thought of you at all.
Until you asked me to be part of it
And now you're showing me a wall.
I wouldn't want you to want to be
wanted by me.
I wouldn't want you to worry you'd be drowned within my sea.
I only wanted to be wonderful and wonderful is true.
In truth, I only really wanted to be wanted by you.
In truth, I only really wanted to be
wanted by you.
