miscellaneous lyrics

Flex (Jean Paul Sartre Experience)

A monastic life built on postcards bright
And lots of friends to share it
You've got a lot to say for yourself
But I don't really wanna hear it

Flex thyself
And muscle me in
Like we're in this together
And it's a comforting thing
But it's not

Well I don't know the physics of the affair
Or if I am even needed
But I can't blame her for looming that way
You always go for what you're wanting

You rip off her skin and turn and tell me
She is ugly beneath it
Well that's funny cause I thought you were friends
But you really mean it


Brittle (Carter/Fits)

Just because the drown has turned into a river
Just because the day's arrived
When the little things have all of a sudden gotten bigger
Don't go and blow 'em up out of size

Nobody needs it more than I
Some may come and some may try
To say it's different, but they lie
Cause no one's need is more than mine

Just because your hopes have all been home delivered
And just because it's all coming right
Doesn't mean that all of your presents have been given
Still one unopened with real blood inside
Just because another's words can touch you better
Don't make 'em measure up to mine

Nobody needs it more than I
And no one say it's otherwise

Buried deep there is a hope that I remain
So endless and boundless you spin when you dream
Buried deep and the whole world can see
It's time that you found you can't hide it from me

Nobody needs it quite like I
'Cept maybe you could be a rock
Or just confused, stupid or blind
Anyway, could be something you'd be best off to consider


Satellite (Jones/Cook/Matlock/Rotten)

London kid, and I got no name
Two tone baby and ya got no brain
I bet you're as happy as a bird in the tree
But I'm only laughing, you're in my scheme

Cause baby
I la, love you
La, love you
La, love you

I only ever listen when you're on the phone
From your side you're as quick as 'em all
When I got nothin' better to do
There is always you cause you're just my shoe

Love
I'm really in, love...

Try to join the scene but you're too obscene
You're looking like a big fat pink baked bean
You're looking like a dirty lavatory
You ain't nothing, you're a castout teen

Look at me and ya just can't tell
You're lookin' like you just come outta hell
How did ya figure you'd be any use?
When all you're gonna get is my abuse
