JAPANESE GUM
I used to know this girl
Who gave her love away
To every guy she met
And with all the games they played
She never seemed to cry
She never got upset
And one by one they came
And one by one they left
I thought that I could fix her
If she would let me in
But all of my advances
Were shut down in the end
When days turned into months
I begged her to explain
And this is what she sang
It’s not like I’m a slut
Or that I really like to fuck
I just want every boy I see
To walk away with part of me
Until there’s nothing left to hold
Until there’s nothing left to hate
I appreciate your help
But even you can’t save me from myself
I used to know this boy
Who took notes in a book
But he ripped out all the pages
Before I got a look
At all the words he scribbled
At all the lines he filled
But the ink stains on his fingers
Told me he was skilled
At capturing a feeling
That most of us just miss
The simple pain of living
With goodbyes on our lips
I found one of the pages
Crumpled by her bed
And this is how it read
It’s not like I am weak
Or that I don’t know how to leave
It’s just that every time you cheat
You bring me closer to defeat
Until there’s nothing left to love
Until there’s nothing left to say
I know that you need help
But even I can’t save you from yourself
introducing palace players
In which we made sure no one got hurt.
What is it that you do?
You gotta get back up yourself.
We know so much.
So much we do.
No answer.
In a word,
You were told
That it’d fix your shaky home.
And what got made
Was broken, too.
Just a field with you,
Switching seats with you,
Tears us apart.
I don’t want it to.
Some peculiar fix,
The two of us.
Counting us out,
I don’t want it to.
Overnight, turned all grey.
What is it that you do?
You gotta get back up yourself.
We know so much,
So much we do.
No answer.
In a word
You were told,
That it’d fix your shaky home.
And what got made
Was broken, too.
Just a field with you,
Switching seats with you,
Tears us apart.
I don’t want it to.
Some peculiar fix,
The two of us.
Counting us out,
I don’t want it to.
Just a creed with you,
Switching seats with you
Tears us apart.
I don’t want it to.
What are we going to do?
I’d really like it if you
Turn out the lights as we planned.
It’s gonna hurt when we land.
I don’t want it to.
Why did you go?
Lots of different reasons,
So many, you can’t even count.
You think it’s right,
Jumping off the see-saw.
Or did you just want it to be?
Why did you go?
Lots of different reasons,
So many, you can’t even count.
You think it’s right,
Jumping off the see-saw.
Or did you just want it to be?

MOVES LIKE YOU
Tonight I caught a glimpse of something I thought I could not replace And I know something’s been missing since the last time I saw your face…
I saw someone who Moves like you and it’s all that I can Do to keep my feet on the ground or Stop myself from taking hold and Asking, why so cold?…
You know it’s you If that’s what comes of wishful thinking I wish the ground would open up and swallow your ghost and as for me, I’m already sinking…
I saw someone who Moves like you and it’s all that I can Do to keep my feet on the ground or Stop myself from taking hold and Asking, why so cold?…
You know it’s you Moves like you and it’s all that I can do To stop myself from taking home
and saying, Angel
And saying, Angel,
I’ll walk you home
I’ll walk you home,
but home’s so far away…..
CATH CARROLL - moves like you
ASPHALT WORLD - SUEDE
I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world. She comes to me, I supply her with Ecstasy Sometimes we ride in a taxi to the ends of the city. Like big stars in the back seat, like skeletons ever so pretty.
I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world
But where does she go? And what does she do? And how does she feel when she’s next to you? And who does she love in time-honored fur? Is it me or her?
I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world She’s got a friend, they share mascara, I pretend Sometimes they fly from the covers to the winter of the river For these silent stars of the cinema It’s in the blood stream, it’s in the liver I know a girl, she walks the asphalt world
But where does she go? And what does she do? And how does she feel when she’s next to you? And who does she love in a time-honored fur? Is it me or her?
With ice in her blood And a dove in her head Well, how does she feel when she’s in your bed? When you’re there in her arms And there in her legs Well, I’ll be in her head
‘Cos that’s where I go And that’s what I do And that’s how it feels when the sex turns cruel Yes, both of us need her, this is the asphalt world
With ice in her blood And a dove in her head Well, how does she feel when she’s in your bed? When you’re there in her arms And there in her legs Well, I’ll be in her head
Cos that’s where I go And that’s what I do And that’s how it feels when the sex turns cruel Yes, both of us need her, this is the asphalt world.
