"Mask" lyrics
"Mask"
We all get born into chain gangs
We all get stamped with barcodes
We all get taught to sit upright
Believe a word to which we're told
Took an hacksaw to my chains
Couldn't mock them
Took an hacksaw to the links
Chains remain
I TNT'd a ring
I'm escaping
You got injured
Friendly fire, fire
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
Your unfaltering charm
Ls to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Or dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole?
Freedom on the tongue
Gets tongue twisted
When the essence of the words
Is to control
Made a bonfire of the crimes
I convicted
You got blistered, fire
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
Your unfaltering charm
Ls to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Or dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole?
Cut the chord
It's contagious
You absorb
All the fallout
I been small
You're gigantic
Oh, so cool
Lovesick romantic
You're the one who speaks in tongues
Of sorcerers and sages
I have only just begun
To understand love's dangers
I'm the one who understands
The gifts of fallen angels
I'm the one who hurt you
I know I was wrong
Are you so sure that you're right?
Your unfaltering charm
Ls to win every fight
If I hand you the knife
Could you cut me off some slack?
Or put the knife in my back
Or dig me out of a hole
Dig me out of a hole?
You're catching me
Falling backwards
You're catching me
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
Falling backwards

Richard Ashcroft - "Break The Night With Colour" Fools they think I do not know, the road I'm taking
If you meet me on the way, hesitating
that is just because I know which way I will choose
The corridors of discontent, that I've been travelling...
The Stone Roses - "I Wanna Be Adored" I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me
I wanna be adored

I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to...
Paul Weller - "The Changingman" Is happiness real?
Or am I so jaded
I can't see or feel, like a man been tainted
Numbed by the effect, aware of the muse
Too in touch with myself, I light the fuse
I'm the changingman, built on...
Supergrass - "Alright" We are young
We run green
Keep our teeth nice and clean
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright
We wake up, we go out
Smoke a fag, put it out
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright
Are...
The Lightning Seeds - "Sense" I'm flying high on something beautiful and aimless
It's got a name but I prefer to call it nameless
It comes and goes and leaves me on a bed of splinters
Feels like I'm living in a town closed down...
