"Tramp The Dirt Down Lyrics"
Fuck U Lyrics
There’s a look on your face I would like to knock out See the sin in your grin and the shape of your mouth All I want is to see you in terrible pain Though we won’t ever meet I remember your name Can’t believe you were once just like anyon
There’s a look on your face I would like to knock out See the sin in your grin and the shape of your mouth All I want is to see you in terrible pain Though we won’t ever meet I remember your name Can’t believe you were once just like anyon
I saw a newspaper picture from the political campaign
A woman was kissing a child, who was obviously in pain
She spills with compassion, as that young child's
face in her hands she grips
Can you imagine all that greed and avarice
coming down on that child's lips
Well I hope I don't die too soon
I pray the Lord my soul to save
Oh I'll be a good boy, I'm trying so hard to behave
Because there's one thing I know, I'd like to live
long enough to savour
That's when they finally
To Last A Lifetime Lyrics
Roll down the window, let me hear the rain Let me hear her whispering, honey everything is OK Cos I've had enough bad news To last a lifetime Well I drove all night under a seasick sky And I made it by mid-afternoon And I
put you in the groundRoll down the window, let me hear the rain Let me hear her whispering, honey everything is OK Cos I've had enough bad news To last a lifetime Well I drove all night under a seasick sky And I made it by mid-afternoon And I

haunted by every tiny detail
'Cos when she held that lovely face in her hands
all she thought of was betrayal
And now the cynical ones say that it all ends the same in the long run
Try telling that to the desperate father who
A Kiss from an Old Flame Lyrics
With a wink from a starlet's eye a string of pearls come to life/Who knows what black and crazy thoughts swim inside a girlfriend's heart/No brighter jewel is there above than the gem of a girl still in love/Below the horizon the last crown jewel pales among th

only son
And how it's only voices in your head and dreams you never dreamt
Try telling him the subtle difference between justice and contempt
Try telling me she isn't angry with this pitiful discontent
When they flaunt it in your face as you line up for punishment

Just like a schoolboy, whose head's like a t

Try telling that to the boys on both sides, being blown to bits or beaten and
