Babybird Ugly Beautiful歌詞
1.45 & Fat

I'll sing about love
'Till I'm 45 & fat
I'll take almost anything
But I won't take that
You can tie me up in knots
But I'll keep on coming
You can take away my voice
But I'll keep on humming
c-o-c-a
c-o-l-a
'Till I turn blue
Sing-singing about love
I'll take any old tat
But I won't take that
We'll teach the world to sing
You all know the words
So singalong, singalong, singalong
For a better world
C-o-c-a
C-o-l-a


2.Atomic Soda

You asked me not to speak
Then kissed me on the cheek
You said that I was wrong
You said that I was weak
I tried to think awhile
You said I was too long
And when I tried to smile
You sung this pretty song

Drink this baby, it's atomic soda
It'll blow your mind back to how it was

Standing in the snow, icicles on your nose
I felt what once was through your frozen clothes
Standing on the shore, looking at the lake
My arm around you won't stop you shake

In the Wintertime when the leaves are gone
I look at you & wonder what's wrong
You were so strong, I was so weak
Now I can't even get you to speak


3.Babybird

Baby bird...don't you cry
Don't you fly away from me
..don't you fly
..don't you fly
La la la...
I've gift-wrapped you a tiny tree
With golden leaves for you & me
To set-up home in a beautiful nest
You can lie here on my soft red chest
My soft red chest
La la la...
Baby baby bird...I'm so lonely
And the sky is so cold & unstable
Baby bird...don't you cry
Don't you fly away from me
..don't you fly
(x4)
Baby baby bird...let me be
The cage around your Christmas tree
You out there, me in here
Never, never set me free
Baby bird...set me free
..set me free
..set me free


4.Bad Shave

It's time to come down from your spire
Jesus come back, you're a liar
I've covered the church in fish wire
I'll know you're here, like hellfire

Hell fire
If we hear a trip in the aisle
Turn on the lights with a big smile
There's no beautiful child
It's tealeaves with the roof tiles

Tealeaves with the roof tiles
We go on home with the radio on
Tune into paradise on the long wave
For a millionth time a born again song
Rings out like a bad shave


5.Candy Girl

Are you the tornado in my sails
Are you Jesus without the nails
Are you the bury met without the rails
Are you Paris without snails
Of course you're not
But you're all I've got
And that's fine & dandy
When you lick my candy girl
(And I don't mean that rude)
When you lick my
When you lick my candy
Are you Disneyland without whales
Are you a farmer without bales
Are you the red lion without ales
Are you the lakes without the dales
Naturally you're not
But you're all I've got
And that's fine & dandy
When lick my candy girl
(And I don't mean that rude)
When you lick my
When you lick my candy
Are you Ra without Dion
Are you the words in the sky without neon
Are you indigenous or did you disappear
Are you the lime in my bottleneck of beer
Candy candy candy girl...


6.Cfc

Have you ever seen the golden mile
Have you ever driven someone wild
Have you ever wanted to kill a screaming child
Have you ever taken the mean out of meanwhile

Oh, I hope so
(x3)
I look up at the sky
And a plane's flying by
Smoking around the loops of your nickname
I used to call you CFC
It used to rhyme with happy
But now I'm sad
I've got no one to blame
Except myself
And that's selfish
So I'm going out
With my suitcase & my kisscurl
And I'm going out to change the world
But it's so easy for me to say
When I sit on my butt all day
So angry and clenching my fist
Crossing the word selfish off my list
Off my list
Have you ever sat down
And started to smile
At the old man who got up & danced
His way for a good cause to France
Oh, I hope so
(x3)


7.Cornershop

What is this beautiful thing we've found
It's so shiny, bright & round
So I went into town
And bought a little patch of ground
And I put a shop on top
And bought myself some stock
Oh, my little cornershop
Oh, my little cornershop
Oh I'm so happy I could scream
In my little store on the green
Where everything is fine
Where everything is fine
So fine
I found some corrugated steel
And banged it to the window with my heel
And now nobody's going to get in
After half past ten in the evening
In the evening...
Oh my 2nd little
Oh my 3rd little
Oh my 4th little...cornershop
Oh my 5th little
Oh my 6th little
Oh my 7th little..cornershop
Oh I'm so happy I could scream
In my 8th little store on the green
Where everything is fine


8.Dead Bird Sings

Take me in your arms again
Wash me in your eyes
Tie me to the house again
Love me 'till love dies

Blame me for everything
Not just the bad times
Whispering sweet nothings in your ear
Just like a dead bird sings

Look into my face again
Between us there's a mile
I can see a hole in the sky
As wide as your smile
As wide as your smile

It's not that you've gone away
It's that I've never met you
But I wish you'd come back to me
Just like the night turns blue
Just like the night turns blue

Just like a dead bird sings
Love me 'till love dies


9.Goodnight

I hold you closely you push me away
I want forever you just want today
Give me your fingers wash out your mouth
Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch
But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
On your good good night
I hear the tick of a bomb
All your hair in a fuse
You ask me for a light
To blow away these blues
Run me a bath, then plug me in
I'm like a T.V. learning to swim

But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
On your good good night
I hold you closely you push me away
I want forever you just want today
Give me your fingers wash out your mouth
Bite off my tongue on this bloody couch
But I don't blame you
You're always right
I'm like a bad day
On your good good good good night


10.I Didn't Want To Wake You Up

The other night, I saw you lying there,
I didn't want to wake you up
The next day, I saw you lying there,
I didn't want to wake you up
The next evening, I saw you lying there
You hadn't moved an inch
The next day, I saw you lying there,
I wish that i could wake you up

Sha la sha la sha la
The next day, I shouted in your ear,
I wish that I could wake you up
The next week I kicked you in the head
I wish that I could wake you up
Three days later you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up
Three years later you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up
The other evening, I had a dream
You came into my head
I tried to touch you, I tried to kiss you,
I couldn't wake you up
My hands went through you, I grabbed the pillow,
I cut the fucker up
I really need you, I really miss you
I want to wake you up

Five years later, you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up
Ten years later, you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up
Fifteen years later, you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up
Twenty years later, you're underground
I wish that I could wake you up


11.Jesus Is My Girlfriend

Look at my hands
They're all over you
My rusty nails stuck to you like glue
My arms around you like audio tape
Got a little red horn underneath this cape
It's not dirty
It's not rude
I'll go to Kuwait if I wanna get, wanna get,
Wanna get crude
It's not filthy
It's not lewd
I wanna get famous just so I can get sued
Guess who's my girlfriend, yeah, ten out of ten
Yeah it's Jesus, she's my girlfriend
Want to know who my boyfriend is,
No, nought out of ten
Jesus ain't a man, she's my girlfriend
Jesus is my girlfriend
It's not drink, It's not food
It's a man in a shuttle with a tube
I can't fly, so what, I can't cook
Can't even catch a tune with a hook
I've been to Hong Kong & South Dakota
In a little wood plane without a motor
Got a girl in bed, when I took it further
Where Jamaica? No I coaxed her. Ha! Ha!
I love her
My girlfriend
I love her
My girlfriend


12.July

Way up in the clouds
Angels don't fly
Big silver birds
Re-writing the sky
Taxi & take off now
I close your eyes
Look out of the window
Watch the ground die
I live all day-to vacate the place-I love-uh huh
I work all day-to leave the way I live-behind
Way down on the ground
People don't fly
But here we at the airport
Like ladybirds in July
Just like back home
I wish that you were here
If I had a cellular phone
I'd drown it in my beer
I was once like you
Dreaming you were me
Locked inside your pretty head
Wishing I was free
But I was so different then
And you were roughly the same
Love was in your pretty head
And sex was on my brain


13.Too Handsome To Be Homeless

We are not cool
We are not crazy
We steal cars
Because we're lazy
We are not risky
We are not bad
We burn down houses
Just to make us sad
I'm too handsome to be homeless
We are not famous
We are not known
We break into hotels
Just to feel at home
We cannot read
We cannot write
We makeout in cars
Then we set them alight
I'm too handsome to be homeless
We die for pleasure
We kill for fun
We give you children
But we won't make you come
Hug your wives
Kiss your sons
Corkscrew your fingers
Round our no-good tongues


14.You're Gorgeous

Remember that tanktop you bought me
You wrote you're gorgeous on it
You took me to your rented motor car
And filmed me on the bonnet
You got me to hitch my knees up
And pull my legs apart
You took an instamatic camera
And pulled my sleeves around my heart

Because you're gorgeous
I'd do anything for you
Because you're gorgeous
I know you'll get me through
You said my clothes were sexy
You tore away my shirt
You rubbed an icecube on my chest
Snapped me 'till it hurt
You said I wasn't cheap
You paid me twenty pounds
You promised to put me in a magazine
On every table in every lounge


15.You & Me

You & me
Me & you
(x3)
You & me & me & you & you & me & me
& me & you
As long as we are one, one of what?
I don't care
One of what?
I don't care
(x2)
................ In any language, baby
It means I love you
I look in the mirror
I see right through
I am beside myself
When I'm inside you
You make the sky green
You make the sun blue
No, baby, it ain't God I love...it's you
Me & you, You & me, me & you & you & me
So complicated
It's so unexpurgated
Underrated
Over sensationalised
Under materialised
Ooh, such big words
We don't need them
All we need is you & me
(x2)
