"We Don't Want Your Body" lyrics
"We Don't Want Your Body"
Knock shop in Oxford Street
One where the vampires meet
Silk purse, pink tie and all of that
Platforms, white teeth, a stupid hat
They really like to see you there
You make them think you really care
I've watched you take your make-up off
Your face grows hard, your eyes grow soft
The window blinds are drawn
You flash your trash to turn me on
I sigh and frown and start to cough
Your hunger starts to turn me off
Lie down and try to talk to me
Sleep now and dream of who you'll be
When you finally become someone
You tune into my frequency
That don't mean a thing to me
'Cause I don't want your body
I don't want your body
You sold me some cheap ecstasy
So you could have some sex with me
But I don't want your body
I don't want your body
Face down upon the bar
I always said you'd get far
But you're not the kid you used to be
Someone should call your family
White line dead time the chloroform
Flashbulbs which pop to keep you warm
I've watched you slowly fall away
The color fade from blue to grey
The window blind undrawn
You flash some trash to turn me on
You're just a tramp, we're just a trick
Our hunger starts to make us sick
Lie down and try to talk to me
Sleep now and dream of who you'll be
But will you actually be anyone?
You tune into my frequency
That don't mean a thing to me
'Cause I don't want your body
I don't want your body
You sold me some cheap ecstasy
So you could have some sex with me
But I don't want your body
I don't want your body
You tune into my frequency
That don't mean a thing to me
'Cause I don't want your body
I don't want your body
You sold me some cheap ecstasy
So you could have some sex with me
But I don't want your body
I don't want your body
We don't want your body
We don't want your body
We don't want your body
We don't want your body
We don't want your body
We don't want your body
We don't want your body
We don't want your body

Mother Mother - "It's Alright" Oh, it's alright, oh
Oh hey, I had a night I had a day
I did one million stupid things
I said one billion foolish things
I'm not okay, I got a baseball bat beside my bed
To fight off what's inside...
Metric - "Gimme Sympathy" Get hot
Get too close to the flame
Wild, open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up
Got no time to take a picture
I'll remember someday
All the chances we took
We're so close
To something better...
Best Coast - "Boyfriend" I wish he was my boyfriend
I wish he was my boyfriend
I'd love him till the very end
But instead he is just a friend
I wish he was my boyfriend
There's nothing worse than sitting all alone at home...
Noah And The Whale - "5 Years Time" Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo
With the sun shining down over me and you
And there'll be love in the bodies of the elephants too
And I'll put my hands over your eyes, but...
Matt & Kim - "Let's Go" I was up in my head
For everything I said
Quarter million words
They're all made with lead
I bought a megaphone
To use inside your home
Forgot the batteries
But that's the old me
Shouting out of my...
