Everything But The Girl - Walking Wounded (1996) by Everything But The Girl (보컬) on maniadb.com

I don’t want excuses
I don’t want your smiles
I don’t want to feel like we’re apart a thousand miles
I don’t want your attitude
I don’t want your things
But I don’t want a phone that never rings

*I want your love
And I want it now

*Repeat

I don’t want your history
I don’t want that stuff
I want you to shut your mouth
That would be enough
I don’t care if you’ve been here before
You don’t understand
Tonight I feel above the law, I’m coming into land

*Repeat

My heart is that much harder now
That’s what I thought before today
My heart is that much harder now
I thought that it would stay that way,
Before today
Before today

But I don't want a phone that never rings

*Repeat

I want your love ...

I wanted everything for a little while
Why shouldn't I
I wanted to know what it was like
But I pushed you too far and
you started laying down the law till
I didn't love you any more
Now you can pull a little bit
there's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
but finally it's gonna break
Wherever you go I will follow you
'cause I was wrong
So there we both were in that little house
just hanging out
You didn't know what you were about
You turned to me as you were
threading daisies on a chain and you said
"It's decision time again"
Now you can pull a little bit
there's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you
'cause I was wrong
And the ground's gonna swallow you
I was wrong
I wanted everything for a little while
Why shouldn't I
I wanted to know what he was like
Now you can pull a little bit
there's a little give and take
And love will stretch a little bit
but finally it's gonna break

I called you from the hotel phone
I haven't dialled this code before
I'm sleeping later and waking later
I'm eating less and thinking more
And how am I without you
Am I more myself or less myself
I feel younger, louder
Like I don't always connect
Like I don't ever connect

And do you like being single
Do you want me back
Do you want me back
And do I like being single
Am I coming back
Am I coming back

I'll put my suitcase here for now
I'll turn the TV to the bed
But if no one calls and I don't speak all day
Do I disappear
And look at me without you
I'm quite proud of myself
I feel reckless, clumsy
Like I'm making a mistake
A really big mistake

And do you like being single
Do you want me back
Do you want me back
And do I like being single
Am I coming back
Am I coming back
Do you want me back (x6)

And now I know
Each time I go
I don't really know
What I'm thinking
And now I know
Each time I go
I don't really know
What I'm thinking of

Do you want me back
Do you want me back
Do you want me back
Do you want me back
Do you want me back

I dreamed about you again last night. You never have the same face
twice, but I always know it's you, and you're always looking better than
you really do. Than you really do. And I walk around the whole next day
feeling like I've still got something to say. But I don't know what it
is, and I don't know how to reach you even if I did. Even if I did. Do
I wanna hear that you forgive me? Do I wanna hear you're no good without
me? Am I big enough to hear that you never even even think about me?
Why should you ever think about me? And I thought that I'd outgrow this
kind of thing. Tell me, aren't we supposed to mature or something? I
haven't found that yet, is this as grown-up as we ever get? Maybe this
is as good as it gets. And years may go by, but I think the heart
remains a child. The mind may grow wise, but the heart just sulks and it
whines and remains a child. I think the heart remains a child. Why
don't you love me? Why don't you love me? Why don't you love me?

Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me
and him and her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace
the us I knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let
you go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to
me. I thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you
go. I could have loved you forever. I could have loved you forever.
What do you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for
loving you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do.
Punish me for nothing. Punish me for nothing. For nothing. Out amongst
the walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me and him and
her. Nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace the us I
knew. I'm never gonna let you go. You know I'm never gonna let you
go. Now I know I had a choice, though you never made it clear to me. I
thought you never felt it deeply. And now I'm never gonna let you go. I
could have loved you forever. Or I could have left you forever. What do
you want from me? Are you trying to punish me? Punish me for loving
you? Punish me for giving to you? Punish me for nothing I do. Punish
me for nothing. Punish me for nothing. For nothing. Out amongst the
walking wounded, every face on every bus is you and me and him and her
and nothing can replace the us I knew. Nothing can replace the us I
knew. Out amongst the walking wounded, every face on every train is you
and me and him and her. Somedays I think I could go insane. Somedays I
think I could go insane.

London, summer
I think I've changed a lot since then, Do you
Ideas that I'd held for years, emotional baggage, hopes and fears,
Seen somehow in a different light, not as wrong , but not as right as they
seemed before.
Was I different then
Have I changed
And will I change again
I'm thinking of a mental free-fall, a partial total memory recall like what of
the future, what of the past, what of the present will last
And say I did forget and revert to the old days, forget this hurt
Am I better off or in reverse, untaught by experience and therefore worse
I mean a lot, I mean a little.
I mean a lot, I mean a little.

I'm like a coastline, a beach and spit.
Spurn Point and the rest of it.
The sea, the tide, the salt and foam.
I'm the blasted land, the sand shifting,
drifting out and back, then breached drowned,
defenses down, rebuilt from this day on.
Or maybe not, maybe my moment's gone.
I mean a lot, I mean a little.
I mean a lot, I mean a little.

Am I the same person I seemed to be
Does all of this depress me?
I won't listen, I won't talk.
A weightless life, I moonwalk.
I mean a lot, I mean a little.
I'm supple, brittle, pig in the middle.
There's resilience inside my face, but sometimes nothing.
Deep space.
What I feel and what I fear is always here my atmosphere.
Pig in the middle
I mean a lot, I mean a little
I mean a lot, I mean a little

You don't know what's wrong, you only know it isn't right.
You don'tremember for how long, but you wake in tears at night.
Big Deal You spend four nights a week now looking for your inner child.
What you gonna say when you find him?
Suppose you don't like him or he doesn't like you?
Suppose once you wake him up he won't go back to bed and wants
to say up late watching TV?
But you say there must be some reason why
you feel this way.
Big deal, that's the way we all feel. Big deal
what is it you wanna feel?
You say you wanna get cured, you wanna turn off
your head. Oh and you say it hurts,
and you feel unsure. First you
doubt yourself and then you doubt her.
Big deal, that's the way we all
feel. What is it you wanna feel?
I don't think you wanna feel.

You never knew the teenage me and you
would not believe the things you
didn't see, some pretty, some ugly.
And the lovely mirrorball reflected
back them all - every triumph, every fight,
under disco light. Come on
girl, it's alright. Come on girl, it's alright now.
Come on girl, it's
gonna be alright now.
Well I guess some boys adored me but the one I
loved ignored me,
and caused me in the end to murder my best friend. And
though I got her letter, it never did get better,
and I got out of my
head. Then I joined a band instead.
Some good times I remember - my
birthday that September,
we lay down on the lawn, and counted until dawn
the stars that we lay under.
And is he still, I wonder, the fairest of
them all, mirror, mirrorball?
Come on girl, it's too late. Come on
girl, it's too late now.
Let it all go. It's gonna be alright now. Oh
it's never gonna be alright.
But it's too late now. Let it all go.
'Cause it's never gonna be alright

I don't wanna feel this way

I don't wanna feel this way

I don't wanna feel this way - won't somebody take away this feeling
I'm looking at a open sky, it's like my roof has got no ceiling

It's wrong to feel this way, I know it's wrong, I know it's bad
To only see what isn't there, to want and want and never have
But you know there's more to me now, don't you?
You always cover for me, won't you.....won't you?

And this used to look half-full, now some days it looks half-empty
And some days it feels like nothing, it always used to feel like plenty

It's wrong to feel this way, I know it's wrong, I know it's bad
To only see what isn't there, to want and want and never have
But you know there's more to me now, don't you?
You always cover for me, won't you.....won't you?

I don't wanna feel this way won't somebody take away this feeling
You play good cop, I play bad cop
Still my roof has got no ceiling, still my roof has got no ceiling
I don't wanna feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way
I don't wanna feel this way

I wanted everything for a little while.
Why shouldn't I?
I wanted to know what it was like.
But I pushed you too far and you started laying
down the law till I didn't love you any more.
Now you can pull a little
bit, there's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you, 'cause I was wrong.
So there we both were in that little house, just hanging out.
You didn't know what you were about.
You turned to me as you were
threading daisies on a chain and you said,
"It's decision time again".
Now you can pull a little bit,
there's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you,
'cause I was wrong. And the ground's gonna swallow
you. I was wrong.
I wanted everything for a little while.
Why shouldn't I? I wanted to know what he was like.
Now you can pull a little bit,
there's a little give and take.
And love will stretch a little bit,
but finally it's gonna break.
Wherever you go I will follow you,
cause I was wrong
