Pablo Honey


you [3:28]

[album version]
you are the sun and moon and stars, are you
and I could never run away from you
you try at working out chaotic things
and why should I believe myself, not you?
it's like the world is going to end so soon
and why should I believe myself?
you, me and everything caught in the fire
i can see me drowning, caught in the fire

[drill EP version]
you are the sun and moon and stars, are you
and I could never run away from you
you try at working out chaotic things
and why should I believe myself, not you?
you say the world is going to end so soon
and why should I believe myself?
hey, the sun and moon and stars are
yeah, but I won't share myself with you, you
to, me, ooh... [to end]

creep [3:55]

when you were here before
couldn't look you in the eye
you're just like an angel
your skin makes me cry
you float like a feather
in a beautiful world
and I wish I was special
you're so fucking special

but I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here?
i don't belong here

i don't care if it hurts
i want to have control
i want a perfect body
i want a perfect soul
i want you to notice
when I'm not around
you're so fucking special
i wish I was special

but I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here?
i don't belong here

she's running out again
she's running out
she's run run run running out

whatever makes you happy
whatever you want
you're so fucking special
i wish I was special

but I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
what the hell am I doing here?
i don't belong here
i don't belong here

how do you? [2:12]

he's bitter and twisted, he knows what he wants
he wants to be loved and he wants to belong
he wants us to listen, he wants us to leave
he was a stupid baby who turned into a powerful freak
but how do you?
how do you?
how do you?

he lives with his mother, but we show him respect
he's a dangerous bigot, but we always forget
and he's just like his daddy because he cheats on his friends
and he steals and he bullies any way that he can
but how do you?
how do you?
how do you?

stop whispering [5:25]

and the wise man say I don't want to hear your voice
and the thin man say I don't want to hear your voice
and they're cursing me, and they won't let me be
and there's nothing to say, and there's nothing to do

stop whispering, start shouting
stop whispering, start shouting

and the mother say we spit on your son some more
and the buildings say we spit on your face some more
and the feeling is that there's something wrong
because I can't find the words and I can't find the songs

stop whispering, start shouting
stop whispering, start shouting

dear Sir
i have a complaint
can't remember what it is

it doesn't matter anyway
it doesn't matter anyway

thinking about you [2:41]

been thinking about you, your record's a hit
your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
but I'm still no-one, and you're not a star
what do you care

been thinking about you, and there's no rest
should I still love you, still see you in bed
but I'm playing with myself, and what do you care
when the other men are far, far better

all the things you got
all the things you need
who bought you cigarettes and bribed the company
to come and see you, honey

i've been thinking about you, so how can you sleep
these people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet
but they don't know what I know, and why should you care
when I'm not there

been thinking about you, and there's no rest
should I still love you, still see you in bed
but I'm playing with myself, what do you care
when I'm not there

all the things you got, you'll never need
all the things you got, I'm planning to please you
please you

been thinking about you

anyone can play guitar [3:24]

destiny, destiny, protect me from the world
destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world
here we are with our running and confusion
and I don't see no confusion anywhere

and if the worm does turn
and if London burns
i'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
i want to be in a band when I get to heaven
anyone can play guitar
and they won't be a nothing any more

grow my hair, grow my hair, I am Jim Morrison
grow my hair, I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, Jim Morrison
here we are with our running and confusion
and I don't see no confusion anymore

and if the worm does turn
and if London burns
i'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
i wanna be in a band when I get to heaven
anyone can play guitar
and they won't be a nothing any more

vegetable [3:12]

i never wanted anything but this
i tried hard, worked hard
i ran around in domestic bliss
i fought hard, died hard

everytime you're running over me
everytime you're running I can see

i'm not a vegetable
i will not control myself
i spit on the hand that feels me
i will not control myself

i never wanted any broken bones
scarred face, no home
your words surround me and I asphyxiate
and I burn all hate

everytime you're running out on me
everytime you're running I can see

i'm not a vegetable
i will not control myself
i spit on the hand that feels me
i will not control myself

the waters break, the waters run all over me
the waters break, the waters run
and this time you're gonna pay i'm not a vegetable
i will not control myself
i spit on the hand that feels me
i will not control myself

prove yourself [2:25]

i can't afford to breathe in this time
nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
hooked back up to the cathode ray
i'm better off dead
i'm better off dead
i'm better off

prove yourself
prove yourself
prove yourself

i wanna breathe, I wanna grow
i'd say I want it but I don't know how
i work, I bleed, I beg and I pray
but I'm better off dead
i'm better off dead
i'm better off

prove yourself
prove yourself
prove yourself

why?

###########################################################################

i can't [4:13]
please forget the words that I just blurted out
it wasn't me, it was a strange and creeping doubt
it keeps rattling my cage
and there's nothing in this world will keep it down

even though I might, even though I try, I can't
even though I might, even though I try, I can't

so many things that keep, that keep me underground
so many words that I, that I can never find
if you give up on me now
i'll be gutted like I've never been before

and even though I might, even though I try, I can't
even though I might, even though I try, I can't

if you give up on me now
i'll be gutted like I've never been before

and even though I might, even though I try, I can't
even though I might, even though I try, I can't
even though I might, even though I try, I can't
even though I might, even though I try, I can't

lurgee [3:07]

i feel better, I feel better now you've gone
i feel better, I feel strong

i got better, I got better now there's nothing wrong
i got better, I got better, I got strong

tell me something, tell me something I don't know
tell me one thing, tell me one thing and let it go

i got something, I got something heaven knows
i got something, I got something I don't know

blow out [4:40]

in my mind, and nailed into my heels
all the time, killing what I feel
and everything I touch [All wrapped up in cotton wool]
[All wrapped up and sugar coated]
turns to stone
and everything I touch [All wrapped up in cotton wool]
[All wrapped up and sugar coated]
turns to stone

i am fused just in case I blow out
i am glued just in case I crack out

everything I touch
turns to stone
everything I touch [All wrapped up in cotton wool]
[All wrapped up and sugar coated]
turns to stone
