"Snake Oil" lyrics
"Snake Oil"
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Yay, you keep it slow
Yay-yay, you keep it low
You sell snake oil to the butcher
The butcher's bill must always be paid
It's a wild wait to wait and it leads to no surprises
No surprise, no-one gets laid
You put the snake oil under my tongue
Show me the door, the way to be free
'Cause you know the moves that only you do
Makes fools of a boy like me
Ooh
Ooh
Yay, uh
You sell snake oil to the sinners
When all they crave is just to be free
It's a wild tease, tease me with nothing better
Nothing better, slower than me
You cast a spell that keeps me wired
Keeps me red, keeps me on fire
So why do you take me down, down to nothing
Always out cold, never been higher
Ooh
Ooh
In the day
You leave me to want what I crave
No surprise, to want what I can't find
You said it again
Again, again
Come on, you said
You said it again
Driving through the old county line
Where I go to find what is mine
Driving past the old county line
Where I go to find what is mine
Ooh
Ooh
You said it again
You give it away
In the day
You leave me to want what I crave
No surprise, to want what I can't find
Thanks to Spencer Bristol for correcting these lyrics.

Royal Blood - "Figure It Out" Nothing here to see
Just a kid like me
Trying to cut some teeth

Nothing better to do

Suckin' it up, fuckin' it up, a favorite daughter

The Maccabees - "Marks To Prove It" No one was crying
They simply got a little something in their eye
No one was lonely
They just could not get hold of anybody
Over the summer, a lot changed
And they all changed to keep up with it
