GOOD CHARLOTTE LYRICS - What Do I Get?

GOOD CHARLOTTE LYRICS

"What Do I Get?"

Originally by Buzzcocks

I just want a lover like any other

What do I get

I only want a friend who will stay to the end

What do I get



What do I get

Oh oh what do I get

What do I get

Oh oh what do I get



I'm in distress I just need a caress

What do I get

I'm not on the make I just need a break

What do I get



What do I get

Oh oh what do I get

What do I get

Oh oh what do I get



I only get sleepless nights

Alone here in my half-empty bed

For you it seems to turn out right

I wish they'd only happen to me instead



What do I get

Oh oh what do I get

What do I get

Oh oh what do I get



I just want a lover like any other

What do I get

I only want a friend who will love to the end

What do I get



What do I get

Oh oh what do I get

What do I get

Oh oh what do I get



What do I get

I get no love at all

What do I get

I get no sleep at night

What do I get

I get nothing nice

What do i get

I get nothing at all



I don't get you

BRAID LYRICS - New Dollar Building

BRAID LYRICS

"New Dollar Building"

the anatomy of

this dual town building

is a wide open structure

with no foundation



get out of jail free

it said sunk in my head

but all i've learned to do is cry

all night for the two

who sent me on a stupid quest





for a new rag dollar building

i've built a monster





dream don't die on me please

when i find my future

i'll lock it in a locket

ground it in the ground

pocket in a pocket

until now is over

get it?

HOUSTON CALLS LYRICS - High Rise

HOUSTON CALLS LYRICS

"High Rise"

I'll save this for late night

a cup of coffee and a long walk through the park

down from this rooftop I see the pond and the great lawn through the dark

just when should I tell you?

that's always been the toughest part

I know how it ends but not how it starts



[Chorus]

So this is how I choose to bring this around

an that's all for now

I'm running out of time, just tell me how to make this right

because I'm sick of planning ways to make you mine

recounting all the lines I'd give to your expectant eyes

but I failed to see the signs



It's not the first time that my thoughts would get the best of me

so I'll keep to myself, and just keep on thinking wishfully

I know that this won't help

I need to say this to your face

We both know this talk won't take place



[Chorus]



Don't bother to tell me

this time I can see in your eyes

that I'm caught between perfect lies and an impossible dream



Just tell me how to make this right

because I'm sick of planning ways to make you mine

recounting all the lines I'd give to your expectant eyes

but I failed to see the signs



[Chorus]

LOUDERMILK LYRICS - Juillet

LOUDERMILK LYRICS

"Juillet"

My love is mutilation

She moves from the east and western divides

She controls the ocean we make like a typhoon to kill up our time

Formed last mai exit juin enter juillet

She's a cold break from the sun ask anyone

and her tide creeps like a bug into my lungs

Kick snare kill these beats and hi-hats

my blood moves in the rhythm of a kick kick her love is mutilation

We fall from the east and western divides, she flows like the ocean a never-ending

way to kill up our time

Formed last mai exit juin enter juillet

Stiches through the pictures she's a needle in the sewing maching

Fabric worn by angels something wicked like an anchor pulling down my sin is complication

Held down at the station for questioning

GOOD RIDDANCE LYRICS - Up & Away

GOOD RIDDANCE LYRICS

"Up & Away"

You've sworn allegiance to your dreams

but still it seems so hard

that tightrope that you walk

why can't you put it down

drink your way through one more

clouded chapter of your life

the hands reaching out to help you

only seemed to push you further away



your time's up

and away

you've made your choice now there's nothing left to say

your times up

and away



mistreated and abused

but they couldn't steal your heart

everyone was so confused

but your friends all played their part

most likely to succeed

still you threw it all away

now your dreams lie buried next to you they're gone forever



where's the spark in your eye

I miss your smile

you're burning inside out

did you want to?

everything they told you to make the bad things go away

everything that they kept from you

everything I wanted to say

WHITE KAPS LYRICS - Old Man

WHITE KAPS LYRICS

"Old Man"

Drink as much as I used to

Just don't think I can

Screw as much as I used to, but

I still don't use my hand

No ones looking up to me and

Telling me I'm king

Girls no longer chasing me

And looking for a fling

But I wouldn't, I couldn't

Look as old as you and I'm dead

Wouldn't, I couldn't

Come and dig me up outta the ground

Right now

THE BLOOD BROTHERS LYRICS - Every Breath Is A Bomb

THE BLOOD BROTHERS LYRICS

"Every Breath Is A Bomb"

(Fake fake flowers, fake funeral)



This room is a fluorescent tomb:

it's brazen bulbs mimic death's hyena croon.

He pulls on her wires, she jerks to attention,

she's animated again, she's talking to a hypodermic reflection.



We've watched it all from the window ledge...

the nurses offer their condolences...

tongue's flapping I can't make out your tone,

out hearts beat in slow motion.



If we make it to the final scene...(fake flowers! fake tomb!)

show me the sapphire pit (fake flowers! fake tomb!)

peel the candy crust off my body (fake flowers! fake tomb!)

throw in the brittle skeleton...(fake flowers! fake tomb!)



Can you inject love's tender touch back into the gang bang?

Can you knit the stiletto back in, into the bloodstain?

Can you put the bite back into the beast you've broken, tied and tamed?

Can you crease the wrinkles back into the cracked and open brain?



So doctor won't you pull the fucking plug?

Oh, won't you cut the cord?

'Cause you can't put the life back into this hospital ward.

Say won't you pull the plug, say won't you cut the cord! [x4]



Now she's gonna make it out ok...

but she's shaking like a revolution...

and she stares at the fire all day...

mumbling to herself...



"And every hole has a snake in it...

and every crotch is a Siamese gun,

every sunshine hides a cancerous chime,

when every breath is a bomb."



I'd like to take my arms, wrap them around you like a flesh canopy.

I'd like to take my hand,

place it somewhere between my shoulders and neck,

but I'm afraid your brittle bones would break.

And I can hear the black out orchestra singing...can you hear 'em singing?

Can you hear 'em? Can you?!



Can you inject love's tender touch back into the gang bang?

Can you knit the stiletto back in, into the bloodstain?

Can you put the bite back into the beast you've broken, tied and tamed?

Can you crease the wrinkles back into the cracked and open brain?



So doctor won't you pull the fucking plug?

Oh, won't you cut the cord?

'Cause you can't put the life back into this hospital ward.



So doctor won't you pull the fucking plug?

Won't you cut the cord?

'Cause you can't put the life back into this hospital ward.
