Missing Link // Robbing Charity // Come Clean //

Chinese Burn

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

Robbing Charity

As posted by Lesley Snyder (lesley.snyder#conted.gatech.edu):
Well, below's my attempt at the lyrics for the new CURVE song "Robbing Charity". If you haven't heard it yet, I think you'll love it. It's mostly spoken words by Toni with a sort of ambient but dancey beat like "Falling Free".

Kind show me charity
Don't rob me of everyone I care for
Care for
Kind be kind to me
Don't rob me of everything I've worked for
Worked for

I have lost my soul
Dead and cheap (chic?)
Dignity's gone
Sad and lonely
When I could've shown
It's a repetition of madness
Skips a beat
My heart pounds
Even when I sleep
Even when I sleep

Robbing charity (X 5)

I could've shown
Sad and lonely
Dignity's gone
Dead and cheap
I have lost my soul
I have lost my soul
In a horrible vision of madness 
In a horrible vision of madness

Robbing charity (X 14)

Come Clean

When will you come clean
Clean and lean and mean
When will you come clean
Clean and lean and mean
When will you come clean
Clean and lean and mean
When will you come clean
Clean and lean and mean

Come so far
I can't go back
Come so far
I can't go back
Come so far
I can't go back
Come so far

When will you wake up
Up to my loving stuff
When will you wake up
Up to my loving cup
When will you wake up
When will you wake up
When will you wake up
When will you wake up

I've been so far
I can't go back
I've been so far
I can't go back
I've been so far
I can't go back
I've been so far
I can't go back

When will you come clean
When will you wake up
Up to my loving cup
Up to my loving stuff
Clean and lean and mean
Clean and lean and mean

I've been so far
I can't go back
I've been so far
I can't go back
I've been so far
I can't go back
I've been so far
