She burns friends like a piece of wood And she's jealous of me because she never could Hold herself up without a spine And she'll look me up when she's doing fine Because the rage it burns like Chinese torture She's just someone's favourite daughter Spoilt and ugly as she willingly slaughters Friends and enemies they're all the same They'll burn her name And crush her fame She'll break a promise as a matter of course Because she thinks it's fun to have no remorse She gets what she wants and then walks away And she doesn't give a fuck what you might say Because it cuts her up like Irish mortar Mother's pride is what we taught her Soiled and petty as we happily taunt her Friend or enemy we're all to blame She'll burn us bad (This section is in She'll flaunt her flame the video and Steve She'll make us remember, remember her name Osborne mix only) If she sits still like she knows she could She could win this game and be the queen for good Save herself up for the cream of the crop Then she'll look us up when she's ready to stop Because the rage it burns like Chinese torture She's just someone's favourite daughter Spoilt and ugly as she willingly slaughters Friends and enemies are all that came To burn her name Crush her flame We're all to blame
I'm coming up roses now Flying high No-one can touch me As I wave good-bye I'm tall as a willow baby Tall as a willow I'm sure not sorry for that You wouldn't believe the stuff I know and have collected I'm hung up on breathing now When I want No-one can hurt me When I'm in trouble I'm strong as I'm mellow baby Strong as I'm mellow I sure am happy for that Have you ever seen the things I own And have neglected They're all quite strange And unconnected And that's why they're strong A mile is long when home is far away Coming up roses now flying high A mile is long when home is far away Home is far away I'm holding the fiddle now Playing hard I've learnt my lesson In self-composure I shout and I bellow baby Shout and I bellow Can you hear me out back Can you feel the way I've grown And disconnected A mile is long when home is far away Coming up roses now flying high A mile is long when home is far away Coming up roses now flying high A mile is long when home is far away The night is long the day is long The night is long the day is long A mile is long when home is far away The night is long the day is long The night is long the day is long A mile is long when home is far away Coming up roses now flying high A mile is long when home is far away Home is far away A first thought came to the sound And it filled itself with spectrum So it can see from the back of its head It can sense the shifting moods How little the first thought knows Its intentions its code of honour Till it's formed with cunning humour Feel the beat fall in Then a second leg came from the sound What if I just don't deliver The queen bee the enemy the ecstasy A beast at the core of its nature A beast at the core of its nature
A Distant stare I see myself there Deep in the black But can he see me Of this I'm not sure It's just a feeling And you know how those things Have got me in trouble before I thought I saw something familiar I thought I saw something He walks my walk And speaks my language All at the same time But he don't know the half of the hurt That he left behind No he don't know the half of the hurt That he left behind I bet you saw something familiar I bet you saw something familiar I bet you saw something Should I say Where have you been all my life Should I say Where have you been all my life Should I say Where have you been all my life
It doesn't matter No one's bothered If you do it With one another You only call when I'm alone Dog bone dog bone dog bone Act like a dog without a home Dog bone Dog bone Dog bone Oh yeah, oh yeah You've never wondered Far from my side When you've pondered If I'm your bride You'll try But there'll be no surprises You only call when I'm alone Dog bone dog bone dog bone Act like a dog without a home Dog bone Dog bone Dog bone You only call when I'm alone Dog bone dog bone dog bone I think of you And all you've shown And I will never be What you are You only call when I'm alone Dog bone dog bone dog bone Act like a dog without a home Dog bone Dog bone Dog bone You only call when I'm alone Dog bone dog bone dog bone Act like a dog without a home Dog bone Dog bone Dog bone
Grow out of your obsessions You think you're bad But I'm badder than you Cos mine has come through consideration While your reaction is nothing new So go on genius be who you are You're so flat and one dimensional If you go my way you won't go wrong You'll find out where you really belong If you search it out it will make you strong Then you'll go on and on and on You want what's mine But you don't deserve it One tenth is all you an have Why care why share Stamp your feet cos life's unfair Why share why care Stamp your feet cos life's unfair If you go my way you won't go wrong You'll find out where you really belong If you search it out it will make you strong Then you'll go on and on and on You have to watch for the smallest details Just to stop The alligator from getting up The alligator from getting up The alligator from getting up The alligator from getting up The alligator from getting up

I'll put you down as the third alternative When you get to the bottom of the list In the call for sanity Nothing breathes So I'll put you up as a friend of Mary's Cos when she's raring to go she's quite contrary In the race for courage Everyone's gone blind You're doing real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer killer killer killer Happy in a manic sort of way But I'm real on a manic high day The universe has left behind us All behind You're doing real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer now baby Real well now Killer killer killer killer I can't let go of the past When it's my future That's safe and rosy I can't step out onto the street When it's my moods That keep me broody Throw it out and see what happens Throw it out and see what happens Throw it out and see what happens Throw it out and see what happens
A single sound Has changed me forever It's the sound of your love I never thought That I would be that lucky To behold your trust If I were to die At this very moment I'd be happy enough Let fate decide If our future's going As high as the sky above Then I'll be Happy in love I'll be strong and tough I'll be sad enough I'll be dirty and rough It's a lonely world When the spell is broken To the beat of your love If I were to die At this very moment I'd be happy enough Let fate decide If our future's going As high as the sky above Then I'll be Happy in love I'll be strong and tough I'll be sad enough I'll be dirty and rough
I've forgotten how to write And I'm giving up on speech I can't remember how I look Or the day of the week Your love is a distant memory Along with most of my family I'd get on my knees But I'm not allowed Even though I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how to walk And I can't use my hands at all I'd cross my heart and hope to die But I'm heading for a fall Just let me go for my sanity Put me out of my misery I'd get on my knees But I'm not allowed Even though I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how I've forgotten how Decay Decay Decay Decay Your love is a distant memory Along with most of my family I'd get on my knees But I'm not allowed Even though I've forgotten how

The months go by And I don't think of you The signal is frail An imprint of what you do So I turn up the sound And you are nowhere I have learnt this To my cost But I maintain In the slow lane I maintain In the slow lane The scent goes by Still I smell of you You say I cry At the merest thought of you So you let me down To laugh at nothing I have learnt this For myself But I maintain In the slow lane I maintain In the slow lane So I turn up the sound And you are nowhere I have learnt this To my cost But I maintain In the slow lane I maintain In the slow lane Turn down the sound You are nowhere You let me down To laugh at nothing I have learnt this To my cost I have learnt this For myself
