  • I never have fun but I wouldn't say no
    I guess that's my prerogative
    I'll never give up and I'll never look down
    That would be the end of it

    Look at me now screaming up and down
    With huge degrees of lethargy
    Some may say that I'm lying down
    That don't mean a fuck to me

    I should remove you all, nothing ventured, nothing maimed
    Hang on your suffering wall to decompose and rearrange
    Sit tight with your lonely rose, beauty is the death of pain
    Don't see it coming at all, so we control and we contain

    This is what you wanted to be
    This is what you wanted

    This is your house, this is not your home
    I don't know if we're ever gonna belong
    You can build a house but not a home
    It will always stand on shaky ground

    I wanna play dumb but I can't let go
    Of my responsibilities
    Why have one? You can take all ten
    I bet that's not enough for you

    I should remove you all, nothing ventured, nothing maimed
    Hang on your suffering wall to decompose and rearrange

    This is what you wanted to be
    This is what you wanted

    This is your house, this is not your home
    I don't know if we're ever gonna belong
    You can build a house but not a home
    It will always stand on shaky ground

    We are looking for love
    But you're baying for blood

    We are looking for love
    But you're baying for blood

    This is what you wanted to be
    This is what you wanted Writer/s: SIMON ALEXANDER NEIL
