Break Me Down 05:20
lyrics

Company Kurt He’s the links in your shirt He’s a real fine diner Drinks get him kicks But his real holy fix Is a little bit shinier Do me a favour Step into the light Then we’ll call it even Little dog, goodnight Martin McCain Has his brain in his veins He’s a veteran user He’s the pitiful twin Of original sin He’s the original loser Heavy metal Without a sound You will never Break me down I am the phoenix that rose from nothing I am a king without a crown You are the man who couldn’t break me down, break me down You will never break me down You will never break me down Legal Laverne She’s a snake in the ferns And she bites like a tiger She’s the one that you call When you’re taking a fall She’s a professional liar Heavy weather Raining steel Don’t you ever Tell me what to feel I am the phoenix that rose from nothing I am a king without a crown You are the man who couldn’t break me down, break me down You will never break me down You will never break me down Angel Deville She’s the duchess of thrills She’s the devil who dances I’m a bit of a bruiser With the men who abused her I don’t give second chances Come here darling Hold me tight Till the morning There be a storm tonight I am the phoenix that rose from nothing I am a king without a crown You are the man who couldn’t break me down, break me down You will never break me down You will never break me… Break me down

Maybe Never 03:18
lyrics

I’ve still got lipstick on my lips From movie nights and seaside trips Like a recurring dream The ones where I fall endlessly Grapevine tales of poker games Sneaking off with what’s-his-name He’s got a gold tooth When will you ever tell the truth? Life with you is push and pull Too slow and then too fast I rode your roller coaster, babe But this time is the last. Maybe there’s a change in weather Maybe we could be together Maybe Later Maybe Never Maybe I could be your plaything You never give. You’re always taking. Maybe Later Maybe Never Well you wonder what’s new since we split I’m building bridges brick by brick I guess it’s slow but sure You always thought me so obscure Well tonight I’ll make it crystal clear There’ll be no more rhymes or riddles here There’ll be no masquerade Pretending that we got it made Life with you is push and pull Too slow and then too fast I rode your roller coaster, babe But this time is the last Maybe there’s a change in weather Maybe we could be together Maybe Later Maybe Never Maybe I could be your plaything You never give. You’re always taking. Maybe Later Maybe Never I’ll never be your lover I’ll never be your friend We’re always back together Always broken in the end I’ll never be your lover I’ll never be your friend We always end up broken in the end

You're Golden 04:23
lyrics

Smoke patterns everywhere Opium billows I’m just another fool Who’s drowned in your pillow The rolling of your onyx eyes It feels like sunrise The waking of a new day for me But wading through your childish lies Just got me chastised Thinking I could make you see That you’re golden And you’re cruel Cause you’re precious You’re a fool You’re my samurai I’m that gleam in your eye And I’m holding on Cause you’re golden You’re golden You’re golden And you’re cruel Cause you’re precious You’re a fool I’m your superglue You’re my Kind Of Blue And no one could be better for me than you Your bed is like quicksand Your tears are like honey You’ll suddenly scream in my face Cause you think that’s funny Whiskey shots and butter beers Raindrop tears Come to hurl your troubles at me Clutching at your pouring face I feel your heart race Begging that, one day, you will see That you’re golden And you’re cruel Cause you’re precious You’re a fool You’re my samurai I’m that gleam in your eye And I’m holding on Cause you’re golden You’re golden You’re golden And you’re cruel Cause you’re precious You’re a fool I’m your superglue You’re my Kind Of Blue And no one could be better for me than you I’m on the landing Dialing your number Wondering where the hell you are Maybe you’re quenching Your thirst for the twisted Maybe you’re feeling frail again Maybe your love’s grown stale again That you’re golden And you’re cruel Cause you’re precious You’re a fool You’re my samurai I’m that gleam in your eye And I’m holding on Cause you’re golden You’re golden You’re golden And you’re cruel Cause you’re precious You’re a fool I’m your superglue You’re my Kind Of Blue And no one could be better for me than you

Hypothetical Me 03:22
lyrics

Smile though you’re in turmoil Though happiness makes your blood boil Been stung by the queen bee But no one will care or see Smile hypothetical me Smile and you will see Smile hypothetical me Smile and you will see This spectre is tongue-tied Words claw at my ghostly insides Invisible, that’s me A human settee Smile hypothetical me Smile and you will see Smile hypothetical me Smile and you will see Smile hypothetical me Smile and you will see Smile hypothetical me Smile and you will see
