I bin skillfully avoiding the mirror
For half an hour now...
To get paid for filing my nails would be a blessing
But it would get tired out
And what about the hoovering? The washing up?
Taking the dog to the park?
Doing the work that should've been done a year ago?
Put it in some sort of order or some sort of small list
And what needs to be done is done
Everything else is all
What is in you that I want, that I can't find in myself?
Freezing my bollocks off, not that I have them
Just because I feel I don't deserve more
Being invisible, a good friend or contact
Does not replace the reverie we have in store
Need to believe that
Need to trust in me, need to trust in you
Got to have faith in everything we are
Receiving your letter does not make up for all the times you loved me
All the times you left me
What is in you that I want, that I can't find in myself?
Stripped down to nothing, I lay on the bed
You held my feet in your hands
You told me you'd never take advantage
Never use it against me
Not knowing of my plan
To ruin it entirely
Bet you feel a bit stupid, now
Feel like you took advantage, now
Like a caveman, all fired up?
My plea to you: Go beyond it
Stake your life on it
Don't shy away like the coward you usually are
What is in you that I want, that I can't find in myself?

Pansy (explicit lyrics)

|

There's a part of my body
That will always weep for you
In the morning
You keep your condensation to (for) yourself
I'll be on my way
To Tower Bridge
In my damp jeans
Text my mum
Tell her I'm still in love
With you
I Can't free him from himself
His milky bones devoid of health
Can I free you, though?
I don't think so
When your cage is so open
The keys in the mouth of a faithful hound
Panting at your every word
Run away from him
Climb a tree
Forget me
Touch my neck
Your missile thick and hard
Against my thighs
It means nothing to me
You fucking pansy
Beat me
Breach me
Hymen still in view
Your solid crown came crashing to the ground
I Can't free him from himself
His milky bones devoid of health
Can I free you, though?
I don't think so
When your cage is so open
The keys in the mouth of a faithful hound
Panting at your every word
Run away from him
Climb a tree
Forget me
Lick it when my nose runs
Under the callous of a hungry thumb
He fidgets and frets
Bring me to your knees love
Share you two day old grub
You gave me a fork
I'll stab it in your foot
Roll over
Take your sweaty hand
From under my shoulder
Grow up
Wank in the shower
It's all up to you
You're alone now Love
(Fuck)

Defy Me
03:55
|
|

Why don't you defy me
I don't have all the answers now
I don't if my decisions are right
I'm all over the place now
Still getting off on the chase
Never quite sure what to do now
When I catch up with you
Or you catch up with me still
Completely dedicated
In some choice moments
To falling
To rapture
To no safety net
When I was the one asking for safety
When I was the one making holes in the net
So I may be powerful, daring
Doing all that
Which is why you may not dare defy me
Completely dedicated
In some choice moments
To falling
But I need someone to tell me I'm wrong
To be knocked down off this pedestal
I carved myself from cardboard and Sellotape
For it won't withstand my weight
Completely dedicated
In some choice moments
To falling
Fickle to allow your
Rough fingers inside me
It was like war
Oblivious to small wounds
Shrapnel piercing
Non-essential organs
There was a war going on

Forget the Time
03:27
|
|

I heard a word
Sisters on sisters
We came first
You and me silently
I'll sit here
Cardigan threadbare
Take your boat
Sail out to sea
It was love
No fireworks and cheese straws
Just a line between you and I
Felt drunk
And somehow appeased, boy
With (by) all the nothing we had in store
I'll move
Forget you
We'll lose
We're fine
A river between us
Forget the line
'If you run I will find you'
Forget the line
'I will never let you go'
Forget the time
It's transient in this world
I'll move
Forget you
We'll lose
I'm bruised
Not from you
I do
I choose

Stop Looking at Me
02:35

Chilled thigh
Water spilled
Freezes the bone
She sighs
Not tonight
Just give me a warm hand
To forget what's real
I don't have to feel
La la la la la la la la la la la la
Family traits
Of spillages
And the passing of a song
Never sung to her
To a man she don't own
Joyfully thrown
La la la la la la la la la la la la
She can cry
And vilify
If she wants
She won't die
But can't deny
Her various faults
Come and see but stop looking at me
No one really sees me
Do do do do do do do do do do do do

King (explicit lyrics)
04:39
|
|

He said
I love you I try hard not to
So what is this thing making me feel blue?
This evil that keeps me from your door
Maybe it's good
That keeps me (from) wanting
But not taking more
She provided him
All he thought he wanted
Only to find
This nothingness inside
So if you have nothing
You have nothing to give
And he left
Not knowing why
Not in spite of this
He was a King
He went through my things
He didn't see
He didn't know me
So maybe now is the time
He gives them back
Ignores the sparkles
And sees what really shines
To give something a fighting chance
The key is to leave well alone
In her humble opinion
She thought she'd grown
Of course a shrub
Turns into a baby tree
Baby you never knew me
He was a King
He went through my things
He didn't she
He didn't know me
So maybe now is the time
He gives them back
Ignores the sparkles
And sees what really shines
I wound you up
Have to watch that
How much satisfaction there is
When confronted by your anger
A reaction that's controllable?
Is it possible just to eat the cake
But not to have it
I don't need to own it
So the tall ankle boots made me feel like a woman
And you were probably thinking
What happened to that girl?
With the flip flops
And long toenails
Here's me
assuming you thought of me at all
Here's the thing
She morphed at (the hands) of your libido
If you don't want things to change
You shouldn't wave your penis around so willingly
Why's it always me
Says she
To take responsibility

Pansy 2

There's a part of my body
That will always weep for you
Optimistic or deluded?
Sick tired sick tired sick tired sick tired
Or just thick
Pig headed
Dreaming about
All the things I
Never said

This hot wash
Is making me dizzy
Pulled a hole
In my rubber glove
Clammy hand
Glanced at self in the mirror
I look hot, babe
And you're away
I made
Pancakes
On this Tuesday
I feel a bit gay
Clammy hand
Glanced at self in the mirror
I look hot, babe
And you're away
All these things I didn't say
I will continue not to say
I won't say
We could grow old and fat together but
I won't say that
I need you
You shit
Okay some things I do say
Clammy hand
Glanced at self in the mirror
I look hot, babe
And you're away
All these things I didn't say
I will continue not to say
I'm just too busy
Being inferior
So for now
I will not say

Father Figure

There's nothing more detrimental to a friendship
Than making people feel inferior
It's par for the course
Forced out with force
My wounds I find
Still need to heal
Father figure
Weight of gold
You're still making causes
You don't know what for
You don't know what for
You judger
You preacher
You'd be the teacher
Who takes girls into your bed after school
It's hard to admit
Encouraging it
Is something we all do
We're all fools
Father figure
Weight of gold
You're still making causes
You don't know what for
You don't know what for
She sent me a text
She'd hate me forever
If I told you how she really feels
Disgusted I was
The girl is undone
And you're basking in your headstrong ideals
Father figure
Weight of gold
You're still making causes
You don't know what for
I'm still judging
I'm still affected
I'm still afflicted
I'll shut your door
I'll shut your door again

Oh Crescent Moon
I never saw you
It got to high noon
And I missed you
Writing songs all day
I never thought to say
How I loved you
And I loved you
Oh I love you
Oh tall man
I never got over you
Many stories told
Have no ending
To emotionally conclude
Is it what I create
Fixing my life state
With 'I hate you'
And I hate you
But I loved you
Maybe a new day
Will bring less pain
If you only knew what I go through
Surely you'd come here and fix me
Like a modern lover should do
Instead I wait and cling to
My self hate and ideals
While you're screwing Grace No.2
Maybe a new day
Will bring less pain
