Lush
Lyrics This page hopefully includes the lyrics to every
song Lush ever recorded, including B-sides, covers, and songs
not on any official releases. These are probably the most accurate (or, least
inaccurate) Lush lyrics available anywhere (check
my sources), but I'm sure there are
still plenty of errors and room for debate.
Corrections or additions to these lyrics would be greatly
appreciated, please contact me. |

500 (Shake Baby Shake)
Emma Anderson
Shake, baby, shake, you know I can fit you in
my arms
Brake, baby, brake, taking me in with all your charms
I've
never been inside you but you're so alluring
They call you "little mouse" by name in Rome and Turin
Looking now at your famous shape
They don't make them like you any more
Shake, baby, shake, you know I can fit you in
my arms
Brake, baby, brake, taking me in with all your charms
When things are looking good there's always complications
I can't be with you so I'm at the railway station
Let's run away and be so alive
Escape the drudgery of this nine to five
Shake, baby, shake, you know I can fit you in
my arms
Brake, baby, brake, taking me in with all your charms
Shake, baby, shake, you know I worship from afar
Brake, baby, brake, how I wish you were my car

All This Useless Beauty
[Elvis Costello cover]
Its at times such as this she'd be tempted to
spit
If she wasn't so ladylike
She imagines how she might have lived
Back when legends and history collide
So she looks to her prince finding he's so charmingly
Slumped at her side
Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
And she's waiting for passion or humour to strike
What shall we do, what shall we do with all
this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty
Good Friday arrived, the sky darkened on time
'til he almost began to negotiate
She held his head like a baby and said its okay if you cry
Now he wants her to dress as if you couldn't guess
He desires to impress his associates
But he's part ugly beast and Hellenic deceased
So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny
What shall we do, what shall we do with all
this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty
She wont practice the looks from the great
tragic books
That were later disgraced to face celluloid
It won't even make sense but you can bet
If she isn't a sweetheart or plaything or pet
The film turns her into an unveiled threat
Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
Grace and virtue turn into stupidity
While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
They still think they're the gods of antiquity
If something you missed didn't even exist
It was just an ideal -- is it such a surprise?
What shall we do, what shall we do with all
this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty
What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?
All this useless beauty
Note: Elvis Costello, who is known to be a
Lush fan, asked Lush to record this cover especially for his
"Distorted Angel" EP, released July 22, 1996

Astronaut
Emma Anderson
I recall how we used to meet
Running through the windy streets
Faces touched with body heat
I know
I can see us breathing from above
Lives are changing with our useless love
Is that enough?
To feel her pain
To be with him, the same
To see you in vain
I rely on a moment's thought
Floating like an astronaut
Hiding is the last resort
I know

Baby Talk
Miki Berenyi
Swallowed her down, she's inside me
She's struggling now, she can't break free
And my eyes are closed, my lips are sealed
She can't escape but I can feel
Kicks in me
Climbing my spine, she's inside me
Wants to escape, wants to breathe
And I wish I could tell you what she feels
And I wish I could hear when she speaks
In my sleep
In my dreams
|

Bitter
Miki Berenyi
Just don't imagine that I'll still remember
you
Don't even think I'll try
I'll take my memories and drown them in my glass
And then I'll drink a toast of bitterness and wash you from my heart
I count the blessings that took you away from
me
I laugh to think I cried
I don't need what you got I don't miss what you do
'Cause I can raise my glass and drink a toast of bitterness to you
And now my mind recalls no memory of you
And so I raise a smile and drink a toast of bitterness to you
Just don't imagine that I still remember you
Don't even think I care
You took your love elsewhere and I drank mine away
With bitter thoughts of you that washed my memories of you away

Blackout
Emma Anderson
I'm not
interested in what you have to say
You're just a vacant space
Other people's lives upon which you prey
It's a permanent disgrace
Why do you think you know what's best for me?
What I should and shouldn't do
Why do you judge my history?
And tell me to improve
In the confines of your mind
You think we're all the same
I've left them all behind
Though you wish I hadn't
In finding fault in others I can't see
What you have to gain
I know that you get pleasure from
Other people's pain
You're not so perfect and I realize the scene
That you're all coming from
When you say you care I know what you mean
You're really lying
All the people around here
Love to hear about a fall
They all surface and disappear
In an instant
In the confines of your mind
You think we're all the same
I've left them all behind
Though you wish I hadn't

Breeze
Emma Anderson & Miki Berenyi
Pink cloud sits sky high
Skips to the starlight
Rains tinsel whispers
Breeze blows away
I crawl inside me
My eyes to heaven
Pink cloud sits sky high
Breeze blows away
Silver air everywhere, doesn't
care
But silver winds cut my skin everywhere
Breathe in green velvet
My lips taste warm earth
Pink cloud sits sky high Breeze blows away
Summer sun, so much fun, colours
run
Hot summers kiss, cloudless bliss burns my tongue

Carmen
Emma Anderson & Miki Berenyi
Carmen tells me what she's done
Says she's having fun
Wants to be a mum
Comb my hair and golden smile
Sparklers all the while
Life can be a trial
Carmen's in a world of fame
Don't cry now for yesterday
Baby's gone but she's okay
Carmen tells me where she's been
Nightmares that she's seen
Makes me want to scream
Hear the things that she's been
through
Grey and black and blue
Life can so cruel
Sit down here and take a drink
Tell me about everything
Andy shrugs and then he wins again
Chocolate box and photograph
Life is hard and life is tough
Carmen smiles and then she laughs again
It's time we started heading home
now
I've made escapes along the way
It makes no sense but I'm okay now
It's happened again
I guess I'll live another day
Sit down here and take a drink
Tell me about everything
Andy shrugs and then he wins again
Chocolate box and photograph
Life is hard and life is tough
Carmen smiles and then she laughs again

Cat’s
Chorus
Miki Berenyi
Drinking, sitting in a corner,
Smiling to the others arriving
Here we go again
Talking, telling all our stories,
Laughing at the things that we've all been through
Over all the years
And as the hours pass till midnight
We'll sing together in the moonlight
And looking back to when we first met
We seemed so different
So many years have passed
So much time, and we're still here
Whatever times may come
Don't ever change, oh
Outside we're sitting in the
moonlight,
And we'll be here under the moon's light,
We'll be
Laughing in the moonlight
Singing songs till midnight
Bunny Kate and Emma
Maxine and Melissa
Laughing in the moonlight
Note: Most sites have these lyrics way wrong,
however they are verified correct here.

The Childcatcher
Miki Berenyi
"Baby," he says,
"You are like the clean white page and I the pen.
The innocence I find between your girlish thighs is like the
fountain of youth to my old bones."
And she replies,
"Daddy's little girl's a precocious child
I love to please, I'll do anything that you ask of me
Eager to fulfill all of Daddy's needs."
"Baby," he says,
"I can never love older girls like I love you.
You're easier to please and you never give me grief 'cause you
accept everything I say and do."
And she replies,
"I'm in no position to make demands.
I have no past, no one else has done to me what you do.
I've got no one else to compare you to."
"And as you grow older, try to
stay sixteen all your life,
Old women grow bitter, don't let that happen to you."
"And why is it charming
pretending I'm younger than my years?
Why can't I grow up with dignity, set me free?"
"Baby," he says,
"Now that you're older I feel our love has died.
Once upon a time you never criticized me. Oh, I much preferred
you as a child."
And I reply,
"Everything you said to me was a lie.
I know your kind, you just want a daughter without the wife.
You don't need a girlfriend you need a life."

Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep
[Lally Stott cover]
Where's
your momma gone
Little baby bird
Where's your momma gone
Far far away
Where's
your momma gone
Little baby bird
Where's your momma gone
Far far away far far awayayay...
Last night I heard my momma singing this song
Ooh wee chirpy chirpy cheep cheep
Woke up this morning and my momma was gone
Ooh wee chirpy chirpy cheep cheep
Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep chirp
Where's your momma gone
(Where's your momma gone)
Little baby bird
(Little baby bird)
Where's your momma gone
(Where's your momma gone)
Far far away
Where's
your momma gone
(Where's your momma gone)
Little baby bird
(Little baby bird)
Where's your momma gone
(Where's your momma gone)
Far far away far far awayayay...
Last night
I heard my momma singing this song
Ooh wee chirpy chirpy cheep cheep
Woke up this morning and my momma was gone
Ooh wee chirpy chirpy cheep cheep
Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep chirp
(Repeat
last verse 4x)
Note: The
original version also included a verse
with "poppa" instead of momma, but Miki left it out.

Ciao!
Miki Berenyi
Together
I've been so happy since I walked away
I never thought that I could
Feel as great as I do today
'Cause you were nothing but a big mistake
And life is wonderful, now that I'm rid of you
Jarvis
Oh I must've been crazy to have stayed with you
I can't believe I thought I was in love with you
But now the scales have fallen I can really see
And I say go to hell, 'cause that's where you took me
Miki
Well, I've felt better since I slammed that door
You always cramped my style, I never noticed before
It's been a non-stop party since I flew the coop
I can't believe I fell for such a loser like you
Jarvis
And is it any wonder that I felt so blue
When I was always having to put up with you
Miki
Oh, here we go again, just lay the blame on me
Don't say another word, 'cause sweetheart, you're history
Jarvis
(Improvised speech, while Miki sings the next
verse)
I bet you're loving every minute of it
Sitting in your kitchen eating meager meals with the curtains closed
While in your bed sit lots of men
I don't give a damn anyway
Miki
I know that you miss me really, bet you wish that you still had me
You'll never find someone like me but I've got no regrets at all
Jarvis
'Cause I've met this girl and she's so good to me
She's really beautiful, fantastic company
Oh, when I'm with her I realize what love can be
'Cause she's fifty times the person you will ever be
Miki
Good luck, mister, do you think I care?
Since you've been gone the offers have been everywhere
I've got a million guys just lining up for me
I've turned a corner, boy, my life is ecstasy
Together
Well, I've been in heaven since I walked away
I never thought that I could feel as great as I do today
'Cause you were nothing but a waste of space
And life is wonderful, now that I'm over you

Covert
Miki Berenyi
I'm hiding inside me
Eye sees through my smile
As I shine
For the eyes of another
Let him inscribe
What he admires
Let him inspire
So many lies
I can provide
Any disguise
Night folds me beside you
I hide from your eyes
For I know
This illusion is kinder
Than what you'll find
Inside
If I reveal
My crime
My deception
My invention
My obsession
You may despise
What you may find
Hiding behind
All of the lies
Let me provide
One more disguise
You won't understand me
I can't let you try
Still I dream
Of the day you discover
I am the spy |

Dear Me
Miki Berenyi
(her 8-track home demo)
Look at this page which I wrote yesterday
Just a selfish expression of fear and depression and
My insecurity so much a part of me
Swells up the pages of numerous diaries
Humiliations both real and imagined
All lie on this page and stare back at me mocking me
I run away from them push them away from me
Soon and again they return to embarrass me.
Down comes the rain
And I try to explain
The events and the faces
Emotions and places
But sometimes the mess of my mind just impresses me
Where are the words that can tend this confusion
There was a time when I new
????
Lie in my bed and stare up at the ceiling
We live in events of a previous evening
My poor little ego that bruises so easily
Fighting my conscience to justify reasons
Look in your soul tell me what do you see
Can you honestly say you're completely at ease
Do you believe that your conscience is clean
Well I say you're a liar.
Down comes the rain
And I sit here in pain
With the people I've lost in the places I've lost
I have a past that's made up of the real and imagined
My only excuse was my ignorant youth
And I've lied to myself
And I've been up since then,
So what's my excuse for the things I have threatened
????
Note: I merged two separate lyrics and
made some corrections but this is still incomplete, which is
a shame because its a beautiful song.

De-Luxe
Emma Anderson
I've been waiting on the slide
Suggest I open wide
No incentive to hide
Happy coursing through my veins
Don't even know my name
When I'm up you're coming down
When I'm up you're coming down
Inside of me, some sight to see
Some sight to feel our earthy bed
When we're wrapped in polythene
What's that supposed to mean
Paper flowers bring me luck
No birds in sight I fear
Stick sticks in you my dear
When I'm up you're coming down
When I'm up you're coming down
Some say I'm vague
And I'd easily fade
Foolish parade of fantasy
Drink in your eyes
Drink in your sighs
Grass in my thighs my aching legs

Demystification
[Zounds cover}
I look out the window and I wonder at it
all
Staring at the symbols that decorate the wall
And everybody's calling to come and join them all
But I can't go with no one till I understand the call
Don't come round for me unless you've got
what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want
My electronic shaver won't plug into the
wall
Now I can't go to the party the electrician didn't call
And I hear they're counting numbers in a store down in
Whitehall
So much information what can they do with it all
Don't come round for me unless you've got
what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification about what's going on
Some people talk of Shiva and some they
talk of God
Some talk of politicians and some they talk of love
Demystify their heroes with the chances we could take
I'm not looking for escapism I just want to escape
Don't come round for me unless you've got
what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification about what's going on
Don't come round for me unless you've got
what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I
Don't come round for me unless you've got what I want
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification about what's going on
I want some demystification
I want some demystification
I want some demystification about what's going on

Desire Lines
Emma Anderson
It's raining in this room
And it's so hot outside this room
I don't know no one here
I don't want to be here
In this room
We hold parties in our sleep
We fill ourselves up in our sleep
And I'll heal you when you're ill
Though it's hard keeping still
In our sleep
Prize the hair out of her mouth
Whilst the circus is heading south
While we search in the sand
Don't ask them to understand
Why they cover up their hands
And their mouths
|

Downer
Emma Anderson
In me you'll see
Dirt flows freely
But you may find
That my thoughts are unkind
Pure life needs knife
Cuts off my life
But as you see
Hurting you you bless me
I always wanted to cry
After the act close my eyes
I always longed for the deep
Then I just wanted to sleep
Blood stream cruel dream
Never make clean
Down by my side I feel safe when I hide
So you can see that my thought are for me |
|
Etheriel
Emma Anderson & Miki Berenyi
I know it hurts to see
That in the end they sympathized with me
And though it hurts to say
It couldn't happen any other way
I remember when you were free
No one else then you came to me
Cursed you then that it couldn't last
All the laughs we had in the past
And if it hurts you too
I hope you know that I'm still fond of you
And if its still unfair
Remember that I thought you never cared
Sing to me, comfort me, turned away
Someone else takes my place
And so you made your choice
When I needed most to hear your voice
But you were never there
And that was when I thought you never cared

Ex
Miki Berenyi
Once upon a time I knew,
How to make you happy or make you blue,
Guess I'll be the same again,
But it's not that easy to just be friends.
Look at where we are today,
With our pointless efforts to lay the blame,
Maybe things can never work,
After so much betrayal and so much hurt.
We're in the same position,
But a million miles apart,
Maybe things will work eventually,
But I just don't know where to start.
When love has gone away,
Something takes its place,
Does it really have to be hate?
So what's it's gonna be?
It's up to you and me,
I just hope it isn't too late.
Things we say????
????
All it does is get us nowhere,
Yes, maybe in the end,
We can be good friends,
I want to but it isn't easy.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
So, love has been and gone,
How do we go on?
Is there something still worth saving?
Well, what's it gonna be?
We can wait and see,
Tell me do you think we'll make it?
Let's stop the silly games,
Dishing out the blame,
I know that you feel the same way,
This doesn't have to be,
Such a tragedy,
Everything will work out someday.
Well, maybe in the end,
We can just be friends,
I want to but isn't easy,
Yes, maybe in the end,
We will be good friends,
This is how it really should be. |

Fallin’ In Love
[Dennis Wilson cover]
Flowers come in the spring
All the love I can bring
Bring it for my baby
All I can do
You know
You know it's for my baby
I love him so
I love him long
He's my baby
Are you my baby
Falling in love
Summer winds again together with my baby
Love the love I live
Live the love that I love
Live it with my baby
I love him so
I love to grow
With my baby
Yes my baby
Yes I'm in love
Love in love in love in love
With my baby
He knows I'm in love
Love in love in love in love
With my baby
I love the way that he smiles
Love in love in love in love
With my baby
Yes I'm in love
Love in love in love in love
With my baby
From Wikipedia entry on
Denis Wilson: He has also been described as a generous and loving man, who
could satisfy himself by giving love but could never be satisfied in
receiving love.
“The greatest success in
life is to feel I’m something for someone; the feeling of falling in love,
the newness of love.” - Denis Wilson

Fantasy
Emma Anderson
When I'm home I listen hoping for a clue
And you know they can't tell us what to do
When you're gone, out of sight not out of mind
But you know this feeling took me years to find
And your eyes, they always know where it
hurts
And your lips kiss me 'til I'm fit to burst
Each day you watch with your static gaze
And smile, naked at my silly ways
Planets spin around your head
Milk and sugar in my bed
Even when you're far away
I can hear you every day
Wise hands grasping the delicate prize
I just wait for the time of our lives
No one knows what's going on
They don't know where we belong
Let you swim around my face
Live inside my special place
It's only you that holds the key
Don't know what you do to me
In our little secret world
I can be your little girl
My desires can't be bought in black and
white
Only you make me feel secure inside
For I know you really love no-one but me
And I smile because they think it's fantasy |
|
For Love
Miki Berenyi
Pretty little girl, she shines
Knowing she is young, she smiles
Happy just to be a prize
Happy just to see his smile
Silly little girl, she tries
Thinking she is good, and wise
Doesn't recognize the lies
Pouring from her lips, she sighs:
"This is so real,
It's what I feel,
I look in your eyes and lose myself"
Silly little girl denies
Ever understanding why
Her face is full of sad surprise
Every time she hears him cry:
"What do you feel
When you're with me?
I look in your eyes and see myself"
But there's no connection
Just his own reflection
Isn't this the way you wanted me?
(What do you mean?)
In love with you
(What do I feel?)
Do anything
(What do you mean?)
For you
She looked in his eyes to lose herself
And when it falls apart, she cries
Doesn't think to look inside
She just covers up her eyes
Doesn't see her own disguise
And though she feels this sorrow
It will fade tomorrow
She'll pretend that this was really love
(What do you mean?)
She'll make their fall
(What did I feel?)
Seem beautiful
(What do you mean?)
She won't remember this at all
(What do you mean?)
She won't recall
(What did I feel?)
The truth at all
(What do you mean?)
She wants to fall
(What did I feel?)
Again
(What do you mean?)

Girl’s
World
Emma Anderson
You can be someone
But you can't be me
And I know that somehow
I will never be free
Years ago in the dark lands
I was dressed like a toy
Now this doll has her own hands
And she wishes you felt joy
You can be someone
But you can't be me
And I know that somehow
I will never be free
When there might be another
It makes you shiver in the cold
That is why I don't bother
Involving you in my world
Smashing glasses and breaking vases
You lied to me over and over
You never listened to me
There was too much affection
You treated me as if I were clay
Home became like a prison
In my mind I kept running away
Smashing glasses and breaking vases
You lied to me over and over
You never listened to me
To me |
|
God’s Gift
Emma Anderson & Miki Berenyi
What's your passion? I think I see
You just can't bear to let things be
What's your weakness? I think I know
You just can't bear to let things go
Finger in every pie
Can't let a chance pass you by
Green with envy your greedy eyes
Have picked the flesh from all our lives
You want others to act the same
To flatter you with jealously
Life is a race to be won
You've got to beat everyone
You've got to be number one
Popular and beautiful
Adored by men and women too
Perfect in every way
At least that's what you say
You've lived and loved and suffered too
No-one's got a patch on you
A saint, a star, a goddess and a brain
But, the truth now
Are you happy with your lies?
You know, nothing's perfect
Aren't you lonely with your lies
Finger in every pie
Can't let a chance pass you by
Make up your life with the lies
But don't you think that what we see
Belies the things you claim to be
A saint, a star, a goddess and a brain

Half And Half
Miki Berenyi
So much happened and I
couldn't deny
That I broke your feelings with the way that I lied
So I do understand the reason you became so weak.
Oh baby you're not half the person that you used to be.
Brag your exploits down the telephone
While you scatter her images around our home
And it's strange how where you feel pride I felt only shame.
I guess it's not unusual that I took all the blame.
Did you feel as guilty when you whispered
out my name?
They say it takes a while
To really mean goodbye
You say you feel confused
But I'm just feeling used.
A year of misery
Has left its mark on me
I should've left you when
I wanted to but then.
It's never fair
It's never fair
It's never fair
It's never fair
I wish I could remove
The things I put you through
There's nothing I could change
If we began again.
But you don't have to take
Any more
Any more
Any more
Any more
I guess I'm only half the person that you
thought I'd be
I'm thinking of the time when you first said that you loved
me
I'm feeling like I'm half the person that I ought to be.

The words in this song are
whispered by Miki and are almost impossible to discern. The lyrics found on
various websites are all totally different. So rather than guessing, I am
leaving this one out. If you have the verified correct lyrics to this song
please contact me, I would love to hear from you!

Heavenly Nobodies
Miki Berenyi Just because they seem to
understand the way you feel
It just doesn't mean that they'll feel the same way too
Just because they seem to hold a mirror to your life
It just doesn't follow that they'll be just like you
Take no heroes,
It's no good
They don't stand up to you
Just take the bits you think that you can use
I remember when I was younger I thought the answers were
locked in people
So I admired the ones whose lives were a source of envy to
people like me
But do you really want to meet
The ones who write your dreams
Believe me, it's a fantasy
You won't like the reality
If you want heroes keep them safe
They don't stand up to life so lock them in your soul and
lose the key
(I love you, I don't wanna meet you)
When I see you it makes me feel
There's someone else out there like me
You touch my soul with what you do
It all makes sense when I hear you
You understand the way I feel
I know exactly what you mean
It's like I've known you all my life
I think of you I feel alright
But in the flesh how would it be
If you could really see
The weaknesses you never knew
Alive and staring back at you
If you want heroes keep them safe
They don't stand up to life so lock them in your soul and
lose the key
Lock them in your soul and lose the key
Lock them in your soul and lose the key

Hey
Hey Helen
[Abba cover]
So at last you're free
It's the way you wanted it to be
It's the price you pay
To become a woman of today
Is it worth the pain to see the children cry?
Does it hurt when they ask for Daddy?
Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone?
So you're free at last
You are beginning to forget the past
Does it make you sad
When you think about the life you had?
But you're right
You had to take a second chance
So you fight to find your freedom
Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone?
Hey hey Helen (hey hey Helen)
What's the matter with you?
Hey hey Helen (hey hey Helen)
Don't you know what to do?
Ahh, yes you do yes you do
Ahh, yes you do yes you do
Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone?
Hey hey Helen (hey hey Helen)
What's the matter with you?
Hey hey Helen (hey hey Helen)
Don't you know what to do?

Hypocrite
Miki Berenyi
A silly girl I run around
and never know my reasons
An though you're laughing with me
I know what you say about me
I can't explain, it's not your business anyway
So don't say you understand
And don't pretend you're on my side
And I remember when you hated her for sleeping next to him
I see your smiling face but I know you've done worse to me
You hypocrite, don't talk to me
'Cause you're not fit to know me
So don't pretend
That you could've ever been a friend
And still I'm sure you think it's ok
What you've done to me
'Cause I'm so bad to him
Don't even try to hide behind that stupid lie
I know your kind and I know where your loyalties lie
The silly girls we run around and never know our reasons
And though I understand I guess I'll say that you betrayed
me
I'm a hypocrite, I dish it out but I can't
take it
I know you think it's wrong
And maybe you're right but this is my song
And still I'm sure you think it's ok
What she did to me 'cause I'm so bad to him
Don't even try to hide behind that stupid smile
I know our kind and I know where our loyalties lie

I
Have The Moon
[Magnetic Fields cover]
We have walked in ancient times
And we've been burned for many crimes
We have ended many lives
But we never really died
You have the sun I have the moon
We have to fly around the world all day
To keep the sun upon your face
I'd like to come and comfort you
But I'd be blinded by the blue
You have the sun I have the moon
You're bound to die under the sun
And I'll be doomed to carry on
You have become like other men
But let me kiss you once again
You have the sun I have the moon

I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend
[The Rubinoo's cover]
See that we're so close together
So far we're just friends, but I've been wondering
whether....
I am just imagining you
Do you really have a thing for me?
Like I think I see when I see you smile and the smile's for
me
I've gotta tell ya...
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Trying to say I wanna be your number one
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Gonna make you love me 'fore I'm done
Late at night when I, when I got to sleep
Picture in my mind, I see you and me
I am telling you what I wanna be
You, say you are in love with me
Even thought this'll be in a dream
That I know in life it's just got to be
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Trying to say I wanna be your number one
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Gonna make you love me 'fore I'm done
I'm gonna make you love me
Yeah I'm gonna make you love me
Yeah I'm gonna make you love me from now on
Am I just imagining you
Do you really have a thing for me?
Like I think I see when I see you smile and the smile's for
me
I've gotta tell ya...
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Trying to say I wanna be your number one
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Gonna make you love me 'fore I'm...
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Hey you! I wanna be your girlfriend
Gonna make you love me
Yeah, I'm gonna make you love me
Yeah, I'm gonna make you love me 'fore I'm done
Yeah, I'm gonna make you love me 'fore I'm done |

I'd Like To Walk Around In Your Mind
[Vashti Bunyan cover]
I'd like to walk around in your mind someday
I'd like to walk all over the things you say to me
I'd like to run and jump on your solitude
I'd like to rearrange your attitude to me
You say you just want peace and you'd never hurt anyone
You see the end before the beginning is ever begun
I would disturb your easy tranquility
I'd turn away the sudden possibility of your smile
I'd sit there in the sound of the things I like about you
I'd sing my songs and find out just what they mean to you
But most of all I'd like you to be unaware
And I'd just wander away trailing palm leaves behind me
So you don't even know that I've been there

I've Been Here Before
Emma Anderson I've tried to be strong,
I've tried to be tough
But I think that this time I've had more than enough
I've seen too much of your games and your immature stuff
You're a waste of time
All the people I've known throughout the years
Too many vodkas and too many beers
And I've learnt a few lessons from all of the tears
You're way out of line
I feel so lucky sometimes I sit down and
look at all my friends
They mean more than the stupid fools that pass my way
I used to prefer those who weren't good
for me
Somehow the attraction beat reality
Now all the rubbish they spill, it means nothing to me
I'm just much more wise
Some people grow up and some only pretend
They're all over the place, these children dressed up as men
They can't imagine how a woman can be only a friend
And they deal in lies
I feel so lucky sometimes I sit down and
listen to my friends
They say more than the empty words that pass my way
And I feel so lucky sometimes
I've got a feeling I've been here before
I can see the world for what it really is
You think that I'm jealous, well don't be
so vain
I can tell in your voice you think I want you again
Well, if I did you know I think I'd be a little insane
You just leave me cold
Ooh, you and her in your sad little world
You can only exist with the help of a girl
Well, I'm glad it's not me, I've got my life to unfurl
You're just way too old
I feel so lucky sometimes
I sit down and look at all my friends
They mean more than the stupid fools that pass my way
And I feel so lucky sometimes
I've got a feeling I've been here before
I've been here before

The Invisible Man
Emma Anderson Outside you
are waiting for me, hiding
You catch me when I am
Needing a friend to hold
You can soothe me, lie above me
Press hard
Then you strike
And I think that I'll die
'Cause I can't breathe, can't breathe
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Eyes are open seeing nothing
Hands are tied and I can't function
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming
Please let me start screaming

Kiss Chase
Miki Berenyi
Tiny children on
their own they learn so fast
How to make new friends
how to play their new games
I remember a man
he had shiny hair
Always hanging around when you went away
Little eight year old, she knows too many secrets
Much too young to understand what it means
I remember a woman
with silver hair
And the smell and the taste of the bed we shared
And that's how I
behaved
Every time that you went away
And now, though
I'm older nothing's changed
(playing the same games)
And I knew every
day
Came a chance that you'd leave me
So I found what I could to take your place
Told me not to cry
Said that I'd survive
As he waved goodbye
And I want to try
Not to make you cry
Want us to survive
Never say goodbye
But that's how I
behave when you go away
Because though I'm older nothing's changed
(playing the same games)
And I know every
day
There's a chance that you'll leave me
So I find what I can to take your place

Ladykillers
Miki Berenyi
Here we go, I'm hanging out in
Camden
Drinking with my girlfriends on a Saturday night
This guy says, "come and meet
my girlfriend"
She's sitting in the corner looking rather uptight
So I say "hello" and I try to
be nice
But I see he's feeling itchy
Trying to play us off each other
"Girls, girls, please don't fight"
(you get the picture)
Hey you, the muscles and the
long hair
Telling me that women are superior to men
Most guys just don't
appreciate this
You just try convincing me you're better than them
So he talks for hours 'bout
his sensitive soul
And his favourite subject is sex
I don't think he even really wanted it
But, Christ, this guy's too much
(I wanna tell him)
I'm as human as the next
girl, I like a bit of flattery
But I don't need your practiced lines, your school of charm
mentality
So save your breath for someone else and credit me with
something more
When it comes to men like you, I know the score, I've heard
it all before
(Here comes the next one)
Blondie was with me for a
summer
He flirted like a maniac but I wouldn't bite
I'm weak and he was so
persistent
He only had to have me 'cause I put up a fight
Oh God, the boy had such an
ego
He liked to talk about himself all day and all night
You think you're such a
ladykiller
But you were nothing special 'til you turned out the light
When he's nice to me he's
just nice to himself
And he's watching his reflection
I'm a five foot mirror for adoring himself
Here's seven years' bad luck
(I wanna tell him)
When you say you love me
you're just flattering your vanity
But I don't need your practiced lines, your school of charm
mentality so
Save your breath for someone else and credit me with
something more
When it comes to men like you, I know the score, I've heard
it all before
Ooh, you're such a ladykiller,
always on a winner, thinking that you're in there
Oh boy, you're such a ladykiller, super sexy mister, call it
what you will, oh
You think you're such a ladykiller, I just bet you're still
there, posing in the mirror
Hey girls, he's such a ladykiller, but we know where he's
coming from and we know the score.

Last Night
Emma Anderson
And even in
your darkest hour
The recipe I cook for you
Can release its latent power
And make your body feel brand new
Can't you
hear the music play
Being centre of what you want
Try to leave the past behind
Memories don't appeal
All the
things we said
All the things we did
All the things that passed
Were satisfied

Laura
Emma Anderson
Mirror maid, tummy ache
Make-up run
Lipstick girl, black stick curl
In the New York sun
Inside out, you know about my
Silly game
Even though, you don't know
About my name
Where I've been
What I dream
What I seem
Clumsy eyes realize how to
Write the word
Basically, you sing for me
When I am hurt
Stoned and blind, never mind
Luckie's song
Press the keys, I can be
Where you belong
I'm a fan
Of your hand
Ooh...
And I'm in love
Cry above
Ooh...
And I'm a fan
Of your hand
Every man
Ooh...

Leaves Me Cold
Miki Berenyi Dreams deep heat teasing my mind
Sleep peels sweet stealing my sighs
She breathes deep when he's inside
Dreams deep heat poisons my mind
Inside me there's a separate world
It's winning and I'm losing control
I'm coming but my eyes are closed
I'm coming but it leaves me cold
Night's bright lights dim in the day
Blind eyes smile at you today
I find I'm falling away
My eyesights never the same
Inside me there's a separate girl
She's winning and I'm losing control
She coming but my eyes are closed
She's coming but I wake up and it leaves me cold

Light From A Dead Star
Miki Berenyi He lives his life in a
world full of women
And he takes what he wants from their love
And he throws the rest away
I cling to him and pray
But still he slips away
And now it's just too late
To wish him back again
She won't put up with this life so she
leaves him
And she finds someone else, falls in love
And she travels far away
I say that it's ok
And swallow all my pain
And now it's just too late
To wish her back again
They left me here on my own in a nightmare
And I just can't forgive any more
So I smile and turn away
Don't listen when they say
They wish that I could stay
And now it's just too late
To wish me back again |

Lit
Up
Emma Anderson You feel like I do
Like the whole world's forgotten you
And your life is so dull and predictable
Your room seems like a cell
And you don't sleep very well
And your friends only talk to point and to mock
And to ridicule
One day things won't seem the same way, I know
Morning in the mirror
Things will suddenly seem much clearer I promise, it's alright
His words don't flatter me
And they're printed for all to see
I don't care, he's not there
It's all history
The future's yours to hold
And you're really not very old
And your life is so white, so clean and so bright
And holds mystery
Morning in the mirror
Things will suddenly seem much clearer
I promise it's alright
One day things won't seem the same way, I know
One day things won't seem the same way, I know
One day things won't seem the same way, I know

Love At First Sight
[Gist cover]
I was waiting at the station
When your train came in
Wasn't you I was tiptoeing for
But you gave me a grin
Felt my heart in my throat
Felt my soul going out to you
Could this be love at first sight
I just didn't know
I was waiting at the station
When your train came in
Wasn't you I was tiptoeing for
But you gave me a grin
Felt my heart in my throat
Felt my soul going out to you
Could this be love at first sight?
I just didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know
Don't you feel insecure
All about your love for me
There's nothing I adore
More than a fake ugly day |

Lovelife
Emma Anderson
You are the one
In your concrete arms I adore you
Dirty and dear
Block out the sun
In your twists and turns I invade
You show me no fear
We blow around like tiny leaves in a big storm
Finding there's nothing left to breathe or to keep warm
You ebb and flow and your rhythm beats my head
Leave me alone while you swallow up your dead
You are the one
You cradle me and kill
Caressing my face
Leave me undone
You suffocate and have me
This is the place
Every door conceals a dream and a nightmare
Nothing is ever really pure in the stale air
And when it's dark everything becomes more clear
Lie in the park when I want to have you near
You are the one
In your concrete arms I adore you
Dusty and dear
Block out the sun
In your twists and turns I invade
You show me no fear
Left it unsung I shall leave but I'll return
Poison my lungs, my blood is full of lead
Things unsaid
My love for you still burns

Mannequin
[Wire cover]
You're a waste of space
No natural grace
You're so bloody thin
You don't even begin
To interest me
Not even curiosity
It's not animosity
You just don't interest me
You're an energy void
A black hole to avoid
No soul, no heart
You don't even start
To interest me
Not even curiosity
It's not animosity
You just don't interest me
Tell me
Why don't you tell me
Tell me
Why don't you tell me
Tell me
Why don't you tell me
Tell me
Why don't you tell me

Monochrome
Emma Anderson
Wake with the sun,
What's going on, when you're gone
Fall asleep when you're near,
What's going on, when you're here
And sometimes I think if I stand by the
phone it may ring,
And sometimes I worry and fear what tomorrow may bring
And you sing, and you sing
Breathe with your sigh,
Makes me high, don't know why
Touching your skin,
Wishing you were within
Your eyes in a saucer but mine are just
clouded in grey,
I've so much to tell but I can't and you just go away
Anyway, won't you stay
Wake with the sun
What's going on when you're gone
And when I lost control
I was cold, and I felt old
The ground is beneath me but slowly it's
falling away,
You say we're like children so why won't you come out to
play
And sometimes I think if I look at the phone it may ring
And sometimes I worry and fear what tomorrow may bring
When you sing, when you sing

Never-Never
Emma Anderson
Only children sometimes comprehend
Loneliness can often be a friend
Have to shut yourself in
Don't know how to begin
Telling it someone
Who doesn't fit in
I am sunken in biology
I cannot control that part of me
I don't want to hurt you
But I know I will do
Maybe we can find out
What are we to do?
I don't have long fingernails to use
Would we care if we were black and blue?
We're both sick but still you hold my hand
We're together but I understand
Walk along the seaside
This is not a joyride
Tell me in the meantime
It's okay
