• Année : 2008

Paroles :

is it enough to have some love
small enough to slip inside a book
small enough to cover with your hand
because everyone around you wants to look

is it enough to have some love
small enough to fit inside the cracks
the pieces don't fit together so good
with all the breaking and all the gluing back

and i am still not getting what i want
i want to touch the back of your right arm
i wish you could remind me who i was
because every day i'm a little further off

but you are, my love, the astronaut
flying in the face of science
i will gladly stay an afterthought
just bring back some nice reminders

and is it getting harder to pretend
that life goes on without you in the wake
and can you see the means without the end
in the random frantic action that we take

and is it getting easy not to care
despite the many rings around your name
it isn't funny and it isn't fair
you've traveled all this way and it's the same

but you are, my love, the astronaut
flying in the face of science
i will gladly stay an afterthought
just bring back some nice reminders

i would tell them anything to see you split the evening
but as you see i do not have an awful lot to tell
everybody's sick for something that they can find fascinating
everyone but you
and even you aren't feeling well

but you are, my love, the astronaut
flying in the face of science
i will gladly stay an afterthought

but you are, my love, the astronaut
flying in the face of science
i will gladly stay an afterthought
just bring back some nice reminders

YES you are, my love, the astronaut
crashing in the name of science
just my luck they found your upper half
it's a very nice reminder
it's a very nice reminder

(and you may be acquainted with the night
but i have seen the darkness in the day
and you must know it is a terrifying sight
because you and i are living the same way)

Paroles :

when i got to the party they gave me a forty
and i must have been thirsty
'cause i drank it so quickly
when i got to the bedroom
there was somebody waiting
and it isn't my fault that the barbarian raped me

when i went to get tested i brought along my best friend
melissa mahoney (who had once been molested)
and she knew how to get there
she knew all the nurses; they were all really friendly
but the test came out positive

i've had better days but i don't care
'cause i just sent a letter in the mail

when i got my abortion i brought along my boyfriend
we got there an hour before the appointment
and outside the building were all these annoying
fundamentalist christians; we tried to ignore them

i've had better days but i don't care
oasis got my letter in the mail

when vacation was over
the word was all over that i was a crackwhore
melissa had told them
and so now we're not talking except we have tickets
to see blur in october and i think we're still going

i've seen better days but i don't care
oh, i just got a letter in the mail
oasis sent a photograph it's autographed and everything
melissa's gonna wet herself i swear

Paroles :

we watch you your expert double exes
it's just like you to paint those whiter fences

it's so polite it's so polite it's offensive it's offensive
it's so unright it's so unright it's a technical accept it

but who needs love when there's law & order
and who needs love when there's southern comfort
and who needs love at all

we stalk you your expert double exes
we oxidize you in your sleep there's no exit there's no exit

you're on a roll you're on a roll no one gets it no one gets it
your honor no your honor can't you protect us, protect us

but who needs love when there's law & order
and who needs love when there's southern comfort
and who needs love
when the sandwiches are wicked and they know you at the mac store

uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh - i'm so excited
uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh - the blacks and beat kids
uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh - i'm getting frightened
uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh - someday someday leeds united

bugsy malone came to carry you home and they're taking you all to the doctor
burberry vices all sugary spices it's nice but it's not what i'm after

sure, you inspire me but you've been not getting back so
i'll wait at the sainbury's countin' my change making BANK on the upcoming roster

and we'll stop you your expert double exes
oh yeah, a big stock holder exxtra cold with 2 X's
that never talking thing you do is effective it's effective
your shoulder's icy colder-oh than a death wish than a death wish

but who needs love when there's law & order
and who needs love when there's dukes of hazard
and who needs love
when the sandwiches are wicked and they know you at the mac store

uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh - i'm so excited
uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh - the blacks and beat kids
