Ugly Beautiful

I hold you closely you push me away
I want forever you just want today
Give me your fingers wash out your mouth
Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch
But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
On your good good night
I hear the tick of a bomb
All your hair in a fuse
You ask me for a light
To blow away these blues
Run me a bath, then plug me in
I'm like a T.V. learning to swim

But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
On your good good night
I hold you closely you push me away
I want forever you just want today
Give me your fingers wash out your mouth
Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch
But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
On your good good good good night

Are you the tornado in my sails
Are you Jesus without the nails
Are you the bury met without the rails
Are you Paris without snails
Of course you're not
But you're all I've got
And that's fine & dandy
When you lick my candy girl
(And I don't mean that rude)
When you lick my
When you lick my candy
Are you Disneyland without whales
Are you a farmer without bales
Are you the red lion without ales
Are you the lakes without the dales
Naturally you're not
But you're all I've got
And that's fine & dandy
When lick my candy girl
(And I don't mean that rude)
When you lick my
When you lick my candy
Are you Ra without Dion
Are you the words in the sky without neon
Are you indigenous or did you disappear
Are you the lime in my bottleneck of beer
Candy candy candy girl...

Dead Bird Sings

Take me in your arms again
Wash me in your eyes
Tie me to the house again
Love me till love dies
Love me till love dies

Blame me for everything
Not just for the bad times
Whispering sweet nothings in your ear
Just like a dead bird sings

Look into my face again
Between us there's a mile
I can see a hole in the sky
As wide as your smile

It's not that you've gone away
It's that I've never met you
But I wish that you'd come back to me
Just like the night turns blue
Just like the night turns blue

Take me in your arms again
Balme me for everything
Not just the bad times
Whispering sweet nothings in my ear
Just like a dead bird sings
Love me till love dies

Sha la la la la la la la la la,
Sha la la la la la la la la la,
Sha la la la la la la la la la,
Sha la la la la la la la la la.

You asked me not to speak, then kissed me on the cheek
You said that I was wrong, you said that I was weak
I tried to think a while you said it was too long
and when I tried to smile you sung this pretty song:

Drink this baby, it's atomic soda.
It'll blow your mind back to how it was.
Drink this baby, it's atomic soda.
It'll blow your mind back to how it was.

Standing in the snow, icicles on your nose,
I felt what once was through your frozen clothes.
Standing on the shore, looking at the lake
My arms around you won't stop you shake.

Drink this baby, it's atomic soda.
It'll blow your mind back to how it was.
Drink this baby, it's atomic soda.
It'll blow your mind back to how it was.


In the wintertime when the leaves are gone
I look at you and wonder what's wrong.
You were so strong, I was so weak.
Now I can't even get you to speak.

Drink this baby, it's atomic soda.
It'll blow your mind back to how it was.
Drink this baby, it's atomic soda.
It'll blow your mind back to how it was.
Back to how it was. Back to how it was.
Back to how it was. Back to how it was.
Back to how it was. Back to how it was.
Back to how it was. Back to, back to, back to how it was.
Back to how it was. Back to how it, back to how it, back to how it was.
Back to how it, back to how it, back to how it was.
Back to how it, back to how it, back to how it was.
Back to how it, back to how it, back to how it was.
Back to how it, back to how it, back to how it, back to how it was, was, was, was.

Sha la la la la la la la la la,
Sha la la la la la la la la la,
Sha la la la la la la la la la,
Sha la la la la la la la la la.

remember that tank-top you bought me?
You wrote "you're gorgeous" on it
You took me to your rented motor car
And filmed me on the bonnet

You got me to hitch my knees up
And pulled my legs apart
You took an Instamatik camera
And pulled my sleeves around my heart

Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me through

You said my clothes were sexy
You tore away my shirt
You rubbed an ice cube on my chest
Snapped me till it hurt

Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me through

You said I wasn't cheap
You paid me twenty pounds
You promised to put me in a magazine
On every table in every lounge

Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me through

What is this beautiful thing we've found
It's so shiny, bright & round
So I went into town
And bought a little patch of ground
And I put a shop on top
And bought myself some stock
Oh, my little cornershop

Oh I'm so happy I could scream
In my little store on the green
Where everything is fine
Where everything is fine
So fine, so fine ...

I found some corrugated steel
And banged it to the window with my heel
And now nobody's going to get in
After half past ten in the evening
In the evening...

Oh my 2nd little
Oh my 3rd little
Oh my 4th little...cornershop
Oh my 5th little
Oh my 6th little
Oh my 7th little..cornershop
Oh I'm so happy I could scream
In my 8th little store on the green
Where everything is fine
