Lyrics for the album "Violent Femmes" by Violent Femmes
Blister In The Sun
Kiss Off
Please Do Not Go
Add It Up
Confessions
Prove My Love
Promise
To The Kill
Gone Daddy Gone
Good Feeling
Gimme The Car
When I'm out walking I strut my stuff yeah
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite and I just might
Stop to check you out
Let me go on
Like a blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands I know you're the one
Body and beats I stain my sheets
I don't even know why
My girlfriend she's at the end
She is starting to cry
Let me go on
Like a blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands I know you're the one
I need someone, a person to talk to
Someone who'd care to love
Could it be you
Could it be you
Situation gets rough
Then I start to panic
It's not enough
It's just a habit
Hey kid you're sick
Darling this is it
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time
Yeah yeah, they do it all the time
"I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record"
Oh yeah? Well, don't get so distressed
Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed?
I take one one one 'cause you left me
And two two two for my family
And three three three for my heartache
And four four four for my headaches
And five five five for my lonely
And six six six for my sorrow
And seven seven seven for no tomorrow
And eight eight eight I forget what eight was for
And nine nine nine for a lost god
And ten ten ten for everything everything everything everything
Tell you mom I'm stuck on this lovely girl
Of course to me yoo know she mean all the world
But then she like another guy
I fall down dead she never see the tears I cry
Please please please do not go
How long can the days go on when my love is so strong
And I know I cannot tell a lie
I wanna see him go bye, bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye
Now I wonder what she would say
If I told her I felt this way
You know it might make her turn either way
So all I can d is patiently pray pray pray pray
Tell you mom I'm stuck on this lovely girl
And you know I could travel all over the whole world
Please please please do not go
You hurt me so I got something to show you
Day after day
I will walk, and I will pray
But the day after today
I will stop and I will start
Why can't I get just one kiss
Why can't I get just one kiss
Believe me there'd be somethings that I wouldn't miss
But I look at your pants and I need a kiss
Why can't I get just one screw
Why can't I get just one screw
Believe me I'd know what to do
But something won't let me make love to you
Why can't I get just one fuck
Why can't I get just one fuck
I guess it's something to do with luck
But I waited my whole life for just one
Day after day
I get angry and I will say
That the day is in my sight
When I'll take a bow and say goodnight
Mo my momma momma mo my mum
Have you kept your eye your eye on your son
I know you've had problems you're not the only one
But when your sugar left he left you on the run
Mo my momma momma mo my mum
Take a look now at what your boy has done
He's walking around like he's number one
He went downtown and got him a gun
So don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me
You know you got my sympathy
But don't shoot shoot shoot that thing at me
In your broken down kitchen at the top of the stairs
Can I mix in with your affairs
Share a smoke make a joke
Grasp and reach for a leg of hope
Words to memorize words hypnotize
Words make my mouth exercise
Words all fail the magic prize
Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs
Mo my momma momma mo my mother
I would love to love you lover
The city's restless it's ready to pounce
It go here in your bedroom ounce for ounce
Said I'm giving you a decision to make
Things to lose things to take
Just as she was about ready to cut it up
She said wait a minute honey I'm gonna add it up
I'm gonna add it up add it up and see what you got
You gotta add it up
Day after day
I get angry and I will say
That the day is in my sight
When I take a bow and say goodnight
Goodnight
People worry, what are they worrying about today
Seems like there's a good reason to worry worry worry
Seems like there's a damn good reason to worry worry worry
I'd sit around, I'd listen to your story
If I wasn't in such a hurry hurry hurry
And I'm so lonely, I don't think I can take it anymore
And I'm so lonely, I just don't know what to do
And I'm so lonely, feel like I'm gonna crawl away and die
And I'm so lonely, feel like I'm gonna hack hack hack hack it apart
Seems like there's a good reason to be lonely lonely lonely
I gotta get someone or something to make me feel less lonely lonely lonely
I know I could do it if just wasn't so lonely lonely lonely
Have we got an army, we'll teach you to act like aman
Have we got an army, I mean to tell you we can fight
Have we got an army, and we're gonna do it tonight
Do do do do it tonight
yeah, they're gonna pay pay pay it tonight
Do do do do it tonight
People worry, what are they worrying about today
People worry
Now you see I've learned my lessons
And I don't even want to hear about your confessions
Just last night I was reminded of
Just how bad it had gotten
And just how sick I had become
But it could change with this relationship
De-derange, we've all been through some shit
And if we're a thing I think this thing's begun
Tell me now what do I have to do
To prove my love to you
Special favors come in 31 flavors
We're out of mints, pass the lifesavers
I'm dropping hints, candy for candy-coated tongue
You'd be so good, so very good for me
What do you think, tell me honestly
I'm wait wait wait w-wait wait waitin for you to come
What do I have to do
I'd do anything
I'd do it all, I'd do it all for you
I'd climb a mountain, I'd cross the ocean
Y'know that I want your lovin'
But my logic tells me that it ain't never gonna happen
And then my defense'd say I didn't want it anyway
But you know sometimes I'm a liar
Could you ever want me to love you
Could you ever want me to care
Disregard my nervousness please ignore my vacant stares
'Cause just what I've been through
Is nothing like where I'm going to
Give me some sign to pursue a promise
And your unhappi-----ness is only a guess
Do you know what it's like to hate when it's way down deep inside
Oh God I hate what's been done to my life
I could rule the pain, rule the night, or would I ruin my salvation
Ruin my mind, rules your pains, rules oof the night ruin your salvation
Ruin your minds, ain't had no fun all the time jackin' around
Ain't had no fun messin' my mind, I kick it around
But if it's alright with you
And it's alright yes I will
Ah c'mon babe, go'head, to the kill
I ain't no Kid Chicago
I ain't no Al Capone
But there's a windy city in my bedroom alone
I said I don't live in Chicago
I don't know no Al Capone
That bitch took my money and went to Chicago
If I ain't already enough sick and alone
Ain't had no fun jack jack jack jack jackin' around
Ain't had no fun(where's it at)
It's down down, it's downstown
Beautiful girl, lovely dress
High school smile, oh yes
Beautiful girl, lovely dress
Where she is now I can only guess
'Cause it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
The love is gone away
When I see you
Eyes will turn blue
When I see you
A thousand eyes turning blue
Tell by the way that you switch and walk
I can see the way that you baby-talk
I can know by the way that you treat your man
I could love you baby 'til it's a cryin...
Beautiful girl, lovely dress
15 smiles, oh yes
Good feeling won't you stay with me just a little longer
It always seems like your leaving when I need you here just a little bit
longer
Dear lady, there are so many things have come to fear
A little voice says I'm going crazy to see all my worlds disappear
Vague sketch of a fantasy
Laughing at the sunrise like he's been up all night
Ooo slippin' and slidin' what a good time
But now have to find a bed that can take this wait
Good feeling won't you stay with me just a little longer
Y'know it always seems like your leaving
When I know the other one just a little to well
Oh dear lady, won't you stay with me just a little longer
Y'know it always seems like your leaving
When I need you here just a little longer
Come on Dad,
Gimme the car tonight
Come on Dad,
Gimme the car tonight
I got this girl,
I wanna
Come on Dad,
Gimme the car
Come on Dad,
Gimme the car tonight
I'll tell you what,
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna pick her up,
I'm gonna get her drunk,
I'm gonna make her cry,
I'm gonna get her high,
I'm gonna make her laugh,
I'm gonna make her shhhhhhhh...
woman, woman, woman,
Shit I know she's it
Cuz I'm gonna touch her,
All over her body,
Gonna touch her,
All over her body,
Gonna touch her,
All over her body,
Gonna touch her,
All over her body
And she can touch me,
All over my body,
She can touch me,
All over my body,
She can touch me,
All over my body,
She can touch me,
All over my body
Time goes by,
I can feel myself growing old
Burning inside,
Is making this boy turn out cold
What's wrong,
What's right,
Ya know I don't care,
When I hate my life
What's wrong,
What's right,
Ya know people don't care,
When they hate their life
But how can I explain,
Personal pain?
How can I explain,
Personal pain?
How can I explain,
My voice is in vain
How can I explain,
The deep down driving,
Driving,
Driving,
We're driving,
We're driving,
We're driving
Hey Dad,
Speaking of driving,
Come on Dad,
Give me the car tonight
So much he don't understand,
Just might never make it to a man
Come on Dad,
Give me the car tonight,
Come on Dad,
I ain't no runt,
Come on girl,
Gimme your
Cuz I ain't had much to live for
I ain't had much to live for
You know, I ain't had much to live for
You know, I ain't had much to live for
