"Foundations" lyrics
(originally by Kate Nash)
Thursday night and everything's fine
Except you've got that look in your eye
When I'm telling a story and you find it boring
You're thinking of something to say
You'll go along with it then drop it
And humiliate me in front of our friends
Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying
And say something like: "Yes, intelligent input
Darling, why don't you have another beer then?"
Then you'll call me up and everyone there with
Will be embarrassed and I won't give a sh-
My fingertips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight, I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
You said I must eat so many lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said I'd rather be with your friends, mate
'Cause they are much fitter
Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive
And I must admit, I was a bit scared
But it gives me thrills to wind you up
My fingertips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight, I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
Your face is pasty 'cause you've gone and got so wasted
What a surprise, I can't look at your face
'Cause it's making me sick
You have gone and got sick on my trainers
I only got these yesterday
Oh my gosh, I can't be bothered with this
My fingertips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight, I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
Oh, my fingertips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight, I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
Except you've got that look in your eye
When I'm telling a story and you find it boring
You're thinking of something to say
You'll go along with it then drop it
And humiliate me in front of our friends
Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying
And say something like: "Yes, intelligent input
Darling, why don't you have another beer then?"
Then you'll call me up and everyone there with
Will be embarrassed and I won't give a sh-
My fingertips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight, I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
You said I must eat so many lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said I'd rather be with your friends, mate
'Cause they are much fitter
Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive
And I must admit, I was a bit scared
But it gives me thrills to wind you up
My fingertips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight, I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
Your face is pasty 'cause you've gone and got so wasted
What a surprise, I can't look at your face
'Cause it's making me sick
You have gone and got sick on my trainers
I only got these yesterday
Oh my gosh, I can't be bothered with this
My fingertips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight, I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
Oh, my fingertips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight, I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
