"Tattoo" lyrics
"Tattoo"
Sadness has filled a lonely place
Before that there was just a hole
At least now there's sadness on my face
My lower lip has finally found it's role
So the wind and the rain and the snow
Had no particular place to go
So they thought they'd come and spend some time with me
They're better friends than you could ever be
There's a tattoo, a small tattoo
Waiting there unpaid for you
And if you ever bump into Unlucky
Don't forget who broke your heart in two
You better get there early, there's a million in the queue
Just waiting for the name on their tattoo
Emptiness has filled a vacant heart
Finally found a place for it to hide
And as I wander like a fool from bar to bar
Empty has become my greatest guide
And the tears and the pain and the despise
Looked at me through bankrupt eyes
They had nowhere else that they could land
So I invited them to take my bloody hand
So queuing for a tattoo and I can't decide the name
I've been wondering night after night
When they put that needle in me I'll scream your name in pain
And I hope he spells 'you bastard' right
B-A-S-T-A-R-D, stick that needle deep in me

Take That - "Shine" You, you're such a big star to me
You're everything I wanna be
But you're stuck in a hole
And I want you to get out
I don't know what there is to see
But I know it's time for you to leave
We're all...
The Proclaimers - "Cap In Hand" I could tell the meaning of a word like serene
I got some 'O' Grades when I was sixteen
I can tell the difference between magarine and butter
I can say "Saskatchewan" without starting to stutter
But...
James - "Laid" This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease...
Joan Armatrading - "Love And Affection" I am not in love
But I'm open to persuasion
East or West
Where's the best
For romancing
With a friend
I can smile
But with a lover
I could hold my head back
I could really laugh
Really...
The Coral - "Faceless Angel" Faceless angel
Hitchhikes through the rain
Trying to get back
To the place from which he came
Fallen brother
Forever on the run
It's been that way
Since his time had begun
Faceless angel
Footsteps...
