Do I attract you?
Do I repulse you with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty?
Am I too flirty?
Do I like what you like?

I could be wholesome
I could be loathsome
I guess Im a little bit shy
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me without making me try?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

How can I help it
How can I help it
How can I help what you think?
Hello my baby
Hello my baby
Putting my life on the brink
Why dont yo like me
Why dont you like me
Why dont you like yourself?
Should I bend over?
Should I look older just to be put on the shelf?

I try to be like Grace Kelly
But all her looks were too sad
So I try a little Freddie
Ive gone identity mad!

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

Say what you want to satisfy yourself
But you only want what everybody else says you should want

I could be brown
I could be blue
I could be violet sky
I could be hurtful
I could be purple
I could be anything you like
Gotta be green
Gotta be mean
Gotta be everything more
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you like me?
Why dont you walk out the door!

What's the big idea?
Ya, Mika!

I said sucking to hard on your lollipop
Oh, loves gonna get you down
I said sucking to hard on your lollipop
Oh, loves gonna get you down

Chorus
Sucking to hard on your lollipop
Oh, loves gonna get you down
Sucking to hard on your lollipop
Oh, loves gonna get you down

Say love, say love
Oh, loves gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh, loves gonna get you down

1-sty couplet:
I went walking with my momma one day
When she told me what people say
Live your life until love is found
'Cause loves gonna get you down

Take a look at the girl next door
She's a player and a downright bore
She's a slower, she wants more
Oh, bad girls get you down
Sing it!

Chorus
Sucking to hard on your lollipop
Oh, loves gonna get you down
Sucking to hard on your lollipop
Oh, loves gonna get you down

Say love, say love
Oh, loves gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh, loves gonna get you down

2-end couplet:
Mama told me what I should know
Too much candy gonna rot your soul
If she loves you let her go
'Cause love only gets you down

Take a look at a boy like me
Never stood on my own two feet
Now I'm blue as blue can be
Oh, love only got me down
Sing it!

Chorus
Sucking to hard on your lollipop
Oh, loves gonna get you down
Sucking to hard on your lollipop
Oh, loves gonna get you down

Say love, say love
Oh loves gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh loves gonna get you down

3-rd couplet:
I was walking with my momma one day
When she told me what people say
Live your life until love is found
Or loves gonna get you down
Sing it!

Sucking to hard on your lollipop
Loves gonna get you down
Sucking to hard on your lollipop
Oh, loves gonna get you down

Say love, say love
Oh, loves gonna get you down
Say love, say love
Oh, loves gonna get you down

Mama told me what I should know
Too much cant gonna rot your soul
If she loves you let her go

You talk about life you talk about death
and everything inbetween
like its nothing
and the words are easy
you talk about me and talk about you
and everything i do
like it something
that needs repeated
i dont need an alibi or for you to realise
the things we left unsaid
are only taking space up in our head
make it my fault win the game
point the finger place the blame
it does me up and down
it doesnt matter now

coz i dont care if i ever talk to you again
this is not about emotion
i dont need a reason not to care what you say
or what happened in the end
this is my interpretaion
and it dont dont make sense

the first to wish to count to ten
i hold my breath and wonder when itl happen
does it really matter
if half of what you said is true
and half of what i didnt do
could be different would it make it better
if we forget the things we know
would we have somewhere to go
the only way is down i can see that now

coz i dont care if i ever talk to you again
this is not about emotion
i dont need a reason
not to care what you say
or what happened in the end
this is my interpretaion
and it dont dont make sense

Took a right to the end of the line
Where no one ever goes.
Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know.
But the pain and the (longings) the same.
(Where the dying
Now I’m lost and I’m screaming for help.)

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?

Relax
There is an answer to the darkest times.
It’s clear we don’t understand but the last thing on my mind
Is to leave you.
I believe that we’re in this together.
Don’t scream – there are so many roads left.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

It’s as if I’m scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
It’s as if I scared.
It’s as if I’m playing with fire.
Scared.
It’s as if I’m terrified.
Are you scared?
Are we playing with fire?

Relax
Relax

In any other world
You could tell the difference
And let it all unfurl
Into broken ruminants

Smile like you mean it
And let yourself let go

Cos it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in

I tried to live alone
But lonely is lonely, alone
So human as I am
I had to give up my defences

So I smiled and tried to mean it
To let myself let go

Cos it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in

Cos it's all in the hands of a bitter, bitter man
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
Take a bow, play the part of a lonely lonely heart
Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in
To the world you thought you lived in

Say goodbye to the world you thought you lived in [x2]
Say goodbye

In any other world
You could tell the difference

Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life.
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife.
While it was all going according to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man.
He met his lover almost every single day
Making excuses through his (dodly) holiday
(Unto religion that he said and duty found
They didn’t know his faith was (earthlic) bound)

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.
Don’t let the stars get you down.
Don’t let the waves let you drown.
Brown…Oh Billy Brown.
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.
Oh Billy Brown.

Oh Billy Brown needed a place, somewhere to go.
He found an island off the coast of Mexico
Leaving his lover and his family behind.
Oh Billy Brown needed to find some peace of mind.
And on his journey and his travels on the way,
He met a girlie who was brave enough to say,
When they made love he shared the burden of his mind.
Oh Billy Brown you are a victim of the times.

Brown…Oh Billy Brown.
Don’t let the stars get you down.
Don’t let the waves let you drown.
Brown…Oh Billy Brown.
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.
Oh Billy Brown.
Brown…Oh Billy Brown.
Gonna pick you up like a paper cup.
Gonna shake the water out of every nook.
Oh Billy Brown.

Oh Billy Brown had lived an ordinary life.
Two kids, a dog, and a cautionary wife.
While it was all going according to plan
Then Billy Brown fell in love with another man

Big girl you are beautiful

Walks in to the room
Feels like a big balloon
I said hey girl you are beautiful
Diet coke and a pizza please
Diet coke im on my knees
Screaming, big girl you are beautiful

You take your skinny girl
I feel like im gonna die
Coz a real woman needs a (real man has why)
You take your girl and multiply about four
Now a whole lot of woman needs a whole lot more

(Chorus)
Get yourself to the butterfly lounge
Find yourself a big lady
Big boy come on around
And there be gonna do baby
No need to fantasize
Seen some worse in my (faces)
A water in the whole
With girls all around
Curves in the right places

big girl you are beautiful (x4)

Walks in to the room
Feels like a big balloon
I said hey girl you are beautiful
Diet coke and a pizza please
Diet coke im on my knees
Screaming, big girl you are beautiful

You take your girl and multiply about four
Now a whole lot of woman needs a whole lot more

(Repeat chorus)

big girl you are beautiful (x4)

(Repeat chorus)

big girl you are beautiful (x4)

(Repeat chorus)

I sit and think about the day that you’re gonna die,
‘Cos your wrinkled eyes betrayed the joy with which you smiled.
Care to see my reason?
Care to put your life in mine?
Looking at life from the perspective of a boy
Who’s learnt to love you but has also learned to grow.
Could we make it better, stormy weather,
So I dunno.

Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home?
Who’ll believe me, won’t deceive me, who’ll try to teach me?
Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?
Who wants to have me, just to love me?
Stuck in the middle.

I look at you,
You look at me,
We bite each other.
And with your better words you kick me in the gutter.
But my troops are bigger than yours
‘Cos you’ll never stand my fight.
Ours is a family that’s based upon tradition
But with my careless words I tread upon your vision.
Are five kids better than one, who’d busy like to be gone?

Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home?
Who’ll believe me, won’t deceive me, who’ll try to teach me?
Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?
Who wants to have me, just to love me?
Stuck in the middle.
Yea...Yea...Yea...

This is to my name,
This ain’t a pretty plan to break your heart of me.
I know that what I’ve started means that when we have parted
I can live in all this (stench?).

Oh, oh, oh – Is there anybody home?
Who’ll believe me, won’t deceive me, who’ll try to teach me?
Ah, ah, ah – Is there anybody home?
Who wants to have me, just to love me?
Stuck in the middle,
Stuck in the middle,
Stuck in the middle,
Stuck in the middle

This is the way you left me.
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like its forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Wake up in the morning,
Stumble on my life.
Can't get no love without sacrifice.
If anything should happen,
I guess I wish you well.
Mm A little bit of heaven,
With a little bit of hell.

This is the hardest story that I've ever told. (ooooo)
No hope, no love, no glory.
A happy ending gone forever more.
I feel as if I'm wasted,
And I'm wasted everyday.

This is the way you left me.
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like its forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Two o'clock in the morning,
Something's on my mind.
Can't get no rest,
Keep walking around.
If I pretend that nothing ever went wrong
I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on.

This is the hardest story that I've ever told. (ooooo)
No hope, no love, no glory.
A happy ending gone forever more.
I fell as if I'm wasted,
And I'm wasted everyday.

This is the way you left me, (Oh I fell as if I'm wasted)
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love, (And I'm wasted everyday)
Like its forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

Little bit of love

Little bit of love x 25

Little bit of love (I fell as if I'm wasted)
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love (And I'm wasted everyday)
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love
Little bit of love

This is the way you left me. (Little bit of love .. continues repeating)
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like its forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

This is the way you left me. (Little bit of love .. continues repeating)
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like its forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

This is the way you left me.
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No happy ending

I will sit down on the fence
and i thought that i would kiss you
i never thought i would of missed you
but you never let me fall
push my back against the wall
everytime you call, you get so emotional
im freaking out

(Chorus)
Ring Ring
Is that you on the phone
you think your clever
but you never saying nothing at all

the way you spin me around
you make my busy when you play me like a kid with a crown

that was never my intention
used to love me, now you hate me

wont somebody save me, from you now

(Chorus)
Ring Ring
Is that you on the phone

i shouldn't have called so late last night
unsecure, out of my mind
i shoudln't have left that message on your phone

i shouldn't have said the things i said
lookin for love we left for dead
in a grave without a stone

as soon as you hear my voice
don't hesitate
put your finger on the button

erase my love
i bet you can't erase my touch
you're tryin' to replace
a feelin' without a name
with somebody else's face
in your head

everything's cool
the rent is paid
the house is clean
your bed is made
but its a ghost town in your mind

you never had time to go to sleep
we'd wake up tangled in the sheets
on a bed that we called home

when the pain won't go away
you might as well put your finger on the trigger

erase my love
i bet you can't erase my touch
you're tryin' to replace
a feelin' without a name
with somebody else's face
in your head.

erase...

erase...
my love
i bet you can't erase my touch
coz you're tryin' to replace
a feelin' without a name
with somebody else's face
in your head
erase...

erase...

tryin' to replace
a feelin' without a name
with somebody else's face
in your head

erase...
