America Is Not the WorldVer letra 4:03

letra de America Is Not the World
America
Your head's too big
Because America
Your belly's too big
And I love you
I just wish you'd stay where you is

In America
The land of the free, they said
And of opportunity
In a just and a truthful way
But where the president
Is never black, female or gay
And until that day
You've got nothing to say to me
To help me believe

In America
It brought you the hamburger
Well America
You know where
You can shove your hamburger
And don't you wonder
Why in estonia they say
"Hey you, big fat pig
You fat pig, you fat pig"?

Steely blue eyes
With no love in them
Scan the world
And a humourless smile
With no warmth within
Greets the world
And I, I have got nothing
To offer you
No-no-no-no-no
Just this heart deep and true
Which you say you don't need

See with your eyes
Touch with your hands
Please
Hear through your ears
Know in your soul
Please
For haven't you me with you now?
And I love you
I love you
I love you
Irish Blood, English HeartVer letra 2:37

[X]
letra de Irish Blood, English Heart
Irish blood, English heart
This I'm made of
There is no-one on earth I'm afraid of
And no regime can buy or sell me

I've been dreaming of a time when
To be English is not to be baneful
To be standing by the flag
Not feeling shameful, racist or partial

Irish blood, English heart
This I'm made of
There is no-one on earth I'm afraid of
And I will die with both my hands untied

I've been dreaming of a time when
The English are sick to death
Of Labour and Tories
And spit upon the name of Oliver Cromwell
And denounce this royal line
That still salute him
And will salute him forever
I Have Forgiven JesusVer letra 3:41

[X]
letra de I Have Forgiven Jesus
I was a good kid
I wouldn't do you no harm
I was a nice kid
With a nice paper round
Forgive me any pain
I may have brung to you
With God's help I know
I'll always be near to you

But Jesus hurt me
When he deserted me, but
I have forgiven you Jesus
For all the desire
He placed in me
When there's nothing I can do
With this desire

I was a good kid
Through hail and snow
I'd go just to moon you
I carried my heart in my hand
Do you understand?
Do you understand?

But Jesus hurt me
When he deserted me, but
I have forgiven you Jesus
For all of the love
He placed in me
When there's no one I can turn to
With this love

Monday, humiliation
Tuesday, suffocation
Wednesday, condescension
Thursday is pathetic
By Friday life has killed me
By Friday life has killed me
(Oh pretty one)
(Oh pretty one)

Why did you give me so much desire?
When there is nowhere I can go
To offload this desire?
And why did you give me so much love
In a loveless world
When there is no one I can turn to
To unlock all this love?

And why did you stick in
Self deprecating bones and skin?
Jesus do you hate me?
Why did you stick in
Self deprecating bones and skin?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Do you hate me?
Come Back to CamdenVer letra 4:14

letra de Come Back to Camden
There is something I wanted to tell you
It's so funny you'll kill yourself laughing
But then I, I look around,
And I remember that I am alone
Alone
For evermore

The tile yard all along the railings
Up a discoloured dark brown staircase
Here you'll find
Despair and I
Calling to you with what's left of my heart
My heart
For evermore

Drinking tea with the taste of the Thames
Sullenly on a chair on the pavement
Here you'll find
My thoughts and I
And here is the very last plea from my heart
My heart
For evermore

Where taxi drivers never stop talking
Under slate grey Victorian sky
Here you will find
Despair and I
And here I am every last inch of me is yours
Yours
For evermore

Your leg came to rest against mine
Then you lounged with knees up and apart
And me and my heart, we knew
We just knew
For evermore

Where taxi drivers never stop talking
Under slate grey Victorian sky
Here you'll find
My heart and I
And still we say "Come back
Come back to Camden
And I'll be good
I'll be good
I'll be good"
I'm Not Sorry 4:41
The World Is Full of Crashing BoresVer letra 3:51

[X]
letra de The World Is Full of Crashing Bores
You must be wondering how
The boy next door turned out
Have a care
But don't stare
Because he's still there
Lamenting
Policewomen, policemen, silly women, taxmen
Uniformed whores
They who wish to hurt you
Work within the law
This world is full
So full of crashing bores
And I must be one
Cos no one ever turns to me to say
Take me in your arms
Take me in your arms
And love me

You must be wondering how
The boy next door turned out
Have a care
And say a prayer
Because he's still there
Lamenting
Policewomen, policemen, silly women, taxmen
Uniformed whores
Educated criminals
Work within the law
This world is full

So full of crashing bores
And I must be one
Cos no one ever turns to me to say
Take me in your arms
Take me in your arms
And love me
And love me

What really lies
Beyond the constraints of my mind
Could it be the sea
With fate mooning back at me?
No, it's just more lock jawed pop stars
Thicker than pig shit
Nothing to convey
They're so scared to show intelligence
It might smear their lovely career

This world
I am afraid
Is designed for crashing bores
I am not one
I am not one
You don't understand
You don't understand
And yet you can
Take me in your arms and love me
Love me
And love me

Take me in your arms and love me
Love me, love me
Take me in your arms and love me
Take me in your arms and love me
Would you do
Would you do
What you should do
How Can Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel? 3:25
First of the Gang to DieVer letra 3:38

letra de First of the Gang to Die
(Los Angeles, you are too hot)

You have never been in love
Until you've seen the stars
Reflect in the reservoirs

And you have never been in love
Until you have seen the dawn rise
Behind the Home for the Blind

We are the Pretty Petty Thieves
And you're standing on our streets
Where Hector was the
First of the gang with a gun in his hand
And the first to do time
The first of the gang to die
Oh my
Hector was the first of the gang
With a gun in his hand
And the first to do time
The first of the gang to die
Oh my

You have never been in love
Until you've seen the sunlight thrown
Over smashed human bone

We are the Pretty Petty Thieves
And you're standing on our streets
Where Hector was the
First of the gang with a gun in his hand
And the first to do time
The first of the gang to die
Such a silly boy
Hector was the first of the gang
With a gun in his hand
And the bullet in his gullet
The first Lost Lad to go
Under the sod

And he stole from the rich and the poor
And not very rich and the very poor
And he stole our hearts away
He stole our hearts away
He stole our hearts away
He stole our hearts away
Let Me Kiss YouVer letra 3:30

[X]
letra de Let Me Kiss You
There's a place in the sun
For anyone who has
The will to chase one
And I think I've found mine
Yes, I do believe
I have found mine
So

Close your eyes
And think of someone
You physically admire
And let me kiss you
Let me kiss you

I've zig-zagged all over America
And I cannot find
a safety haven
Say would you let me cry
on your shoulder
I've heard that you'll try
anything twice

Close your eyes
And think of someone
You physically admire
And let me kiss you
Let me kiss you

But then you open your eyes
And you see someone
That you physically despise
But my heart is open
My heart is open to you
All the Lazy DykesVer letra 3:31

[X]
letra de All the Lazy Dykes
All the lazy dykes
Cross armed at the palms
Then legs astride their bikes
Indigo burns on their arms

One sweet day
An emotional whirl
You will be good to yourself
And you'll come and join the girls

All the lazy dykes
They pity how you live
Just "somebody's wife"
You give, and you give
And you give, and you give

And one sweet day
An emotional whirl
You will be good to yourself
And you'll come and join the girls

Touch me
Squeeze me
Hold me too tightly
And when you look at me you actually see me

And I've never felt so alive
In the whole of my life
In the whole of my life

Free yourself
Be yourself
Come to the palms and see yourself
And at last your life begins
At last your life begins
At last your life begins
I Like YouVer letra 4:11

[X]
letra de I Like You
Something in you caused me to
Take a new tact with you
You were going through something
I had just about scraped through

Why do you think I let you get away
With the things you say to me?
Could it be
I like you
It's so shameful of me
I like you

No one I ever knew
Or have spoken to resembles you
This is good or bad
All depending on my general mood

Why do you think I let you get away
With all the things you say to me?
Could it be
I like you
It's so shameful of me
I like you

Magistrates who spend their lives
Hiding their mistakes
They look at you and I, and
Envy makes them cry
Envy makes them cry

Forces of containment
They shove their fat faces into mine
You and I just smile
Because we're thinking the same lines
Why do you think I let you get away
With all the things you say to me?
Could it be
I like you
It's so shameful of me
I like you

You're not right in the head
And nor am I
And this why
You're not right in the head
And nor am I
And this why
This is why I like you
I like you
I like you
This is why I like you
I like you
I like you
You Know I Couldn't Last 5:51
