Here We Go
03:11

|
Fashionable and wise
Scented for desire
Pulling on my strings
Slave to all your sins
Heartache is here again
Dancing on my love
My life’s supposed to be
Full of philosophy
Chorus:
Here we go
Here we go here we go again (x2)
Here we go
Buzzing spiteful words
Ringing in my ears
Destructive in your love
Gravitate your tears
Heartache is here again
Dancing on my love
My life’s supposed to be
Full of philosophy
Chorus
Wasting all this time
Feuding on our love
Your fire is burning me
Down to Misery
Heartache is here again
Dancing on my love
My life’s supposed to be
Full of philosophy
Chorus
Fashionable and wise
Scented for desire
Pulling on my strings
Slave to all your sins
Chorus

Black hearted (x2)
Lay low (x4)
Black heated devils they are cruising for you (x2)
Black hearted (x2)
Lay low (x4)
Die so many times before we pass from here
Highs and lows lows and highs
Perverted into something we were never meant to be
Highs and lows and nowhere in-between
Black hearted (x4)
Lay low (x4)
Black heated devils they are cruising for you (x2)
Black hearted (x2)
Lay low (x4)
Die so many times before we pass from here
Highs and lows lows and highs
Perverted into something we were never meant to be
Highs and lows and nowhere in-between
Black hearted (x4)
Lay low (x4)
Black heated devils they are cruising for you (x2)
Black hearted (x2)
Lay low (x7)

Waste of Time

Life is a puerile waste of time
Dance away your fears
Life’s an appalling farce you see
We are too far gone
Life is a puerile waste of time
Life is a waste of time
There is hope in your eyes today
When you’re down it breaks my heart
There is life in your eyes today
When you’re down it breaks my heart
It’s time for your spite to end dear friend
Mercy I do plead
Cherish your mortal heart lost soul
We are too far gone
Low and trembling faith hold us
Firm ‘n’ bloody & true
Life is a puerile waste of time
Life is a waste of time
There is hope in your eyes today
When you’re down it breaks my heart
There is life in your eyes today
When you’re down it breaks my heart
Life is a puerile waste of time
Dance away your fears
Life’s an appalling farce you see
We are far too gone
Low and trembling faith hold us
Firm ‘n’ bloody & true
Life is a puerile waste of time
Life is a waste of time
Life is a puerile waste of time
Yes, life is a waste of time
There is hope in your eyes today
When you’re down it breaks my heart
There is life in your eyes today
When you’re down it breaks my heart
Yes it does my love

Dirty and Rude

C’mon c’mon baby (intro)
I find you dirty and rude (x4)
Watch her stir in the heat of lust
Plagued by all - all this talk of sin
She sees her wretched image bound
Her Lucid Dreams lie upon the floor
C’mon c’mon baby play that game again
C’mon c’mon baby give our pain a name
C’mon c’mon baby throw away the cure
C’mon c’mon baby crucify our love
I find you dirty and rude (x4)
Toil and trouble had our share of fun
Swamp of desire desert of despair
Love is dead victim has been slain
Death makes us so in love with life
C’mon c’mon baby play that game again
C’mon c’mon baby give our pain a name
C’mon c’mon baby throw away the cure
C’mon c’mon baby crucify our love
I find you dirty and rude (x4)
Memories are left when she has departed
They will grow as you sleep at night
Dreams of her sent to haunt your soul
Moments of desire complicate our lives
C’mon c’mon baby (x4)
I find you dirty and rude (x4)
C’mon c’mon baby play that game again
C’mon c’mon baby give our pain a name
C’mon c’mon baby throw away the cure
C’mon c’mon baby crucify our love
C’mon c’mon baby

All of this suspicion,
Oh the superstition,
Where’s the woman I know,
Here’s the man I killed,
I just want my freedom,
Give me back my life,
There’s an open door,
Why don’t you just use it?
Ooo you winding me up,
Why can’t we just love?
Ooo you’re wasting my love,
Yes I’m wasting yours
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Love Me (x2)
Love me in the morning,
Love me in the evening (x4)
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Love Me (x2)
Now that we are talking,
You can stop your stalking,
I call it discussion,
Arguments your game,
Wasting all my prayers,
Shitting on my luck,
You’re so fucking evil,
Naturally your bad,
Ooo you winding me up,
Why can’t we just love?
Ooo you’re wasting my love,
Yes I’m wasting yours
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Love Me (x2)
Love me in the morning,
Love me in the evening (x4)
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Love Me (x2
Took away the magic,
Civilized our love,
Low down dirty criminal,
Where’s the judge and jury?
Truth is now decaying,
Filthy lying maggot,
Lets agree to differ,
Lets agree to part
Ooo you winding me up,
Why can’t we just love,
Ooo you’re wasting my love,
Yes I’m wasting yours
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Love Me (x2)
Love me in the morning,
Love me in the evening (x4)
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Ooo you love me love me
Love Me (x2

Contemplate
04:57
|

Contemplate the way you were when I was feeling down
We’re a match in heaven lovers in eternal hell
Your smell is in my bed (it permeates my head) (x4)
Away away away away away with you (x4)
Pardon the spiel, the tone but I must say my piece
Contemplate the way you were when I was feeling down
Tears were welling up in pools you let me drown
Swallowed bitter pills poisoned what I gifted you
Your smell is in my bed (it permeates my head) (x4)
Away away away away away with you (x4)
A bureaucratic whore with ease you take away my pain
Come back to my life with periodic guilt and tears
Playful with your fingers as your scratching out my eyes
Bed is like a poor man’s opera when we're entwined
Your smell is in my bed (it permeates my head)(x4)
Away away away away away with you (x4)
There was no reason there was no rhyme
Tempers flared and atmospheres were created
But I knew I could not live without her in my bed
or in my life
Contemplate (x4)
Your smell is in my bed (it permeates my head) (x4)
You are the first, the last to love me like you do
Tenderize my dreams soften all my wayward schemes
Passively aggressively addicted to your charm
Fevered by disease infected by the love you give
Your smell is in my bed (it permeates my head) (x4)
Contemplate the way you were when I was feeling down
We’re a match in heaven lovers in eternal hell

Can You Feel
02:33
|

|
Do you feel like you've been cheated
Cheated cheated your soul
Beaten inside and left to die
At the end of the day
We all get burnt
We can’t know what it’s like
To walk in your shoes,
You don’t know what its like
To walk in my shoes
When times are dark
I’ll bring you the light
It’s time to save your soul
Can you feel the light fading away?
Can you see the light fading away?
Your life’s a lie
Your friends are a joke
Give yourselves a punch and a poke
Sense your strength,
Away with these fools
These people have never been
True to you
These people will never be
True to you
When times are dark
I’ll bring you the light
It’s time to save your soul
Can you feel the light fading away
Can you see the light fading away
Beaten inside and left to die
At the end of the day
We all get burnt
Do you feel like you've been cheated
Cheated cheated your soul
