Track Lyrics

Bane Lyrics

[Intro: Spoken]

Cold and sizzling

[Verse 1]

I sold my soul

For a sip at school

A swimming pool

Ice cold black fuel

[Verse 2]

I'll dive in

Swimming and drinking

And when my parents tell me to come in

I'll just ignore them and keep on drinking

Cola, cola

Fizzy cola

[Refrain]

Yeah, you

In the middle of the night, I get a craving and I wake up for you

[Verse 3]

Thirsty one looks stunned

Dumbfounded by the sizzle of the bubbles on the tongue

Sixty-six times underwater somersault

Pool cool, cooling by the side of the swimming pool

The rules don't apply to you 'cause you've got the buzz

Sixty-six times underwater somеrsault

[Verse 4]

Thirsty one looks stunned

Dumbfounded by thе sizzle of the bubbles on the tongue

Sixty-six times underwater somersault

Cut the queue, climb the scaffold to ride the flume first

Slap a bigger boy so hard he wakes up on the floor

Sixty-six times underwater somersault

[Refrain]

Yeah, you

In the middle of the night, I get a craving and I wake up for you

[Bridge]

My God, my God

Why hast thou forsaken me?

My God, my God

Why hast thou forsaken me?

[Outro]

Yeah, you

In the middle of the night, I get a craving and I wake up for you

U&ME Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Summer holiday, having fun

Happiness is between two buns

Feeling funky on a rolling boil

Smiles bend all over, can't control how I feel

[Chorus]

It's just you and me now

[Verse 2]

Round of kimonos for my girls in the sun

Sending videos to friends in London

Strut like Stellan Skarsgård to and from the bar

Playing my candied tangerine Telecaster

[Chorus]

It's just you and me now

[Verse 3]

Two hot palms pressing down on my face

Dragged by my sockets to a better place

Flashing in the dark, my luminescent tongue

Summer holiday, having fun

[Chorus]

It's just you and me now

[Outro]

Ooh, I could hold on to the memory of that day for the rest of my lifе

I could hold on to the memory of that day for the rеst of my life

I could hold on to the memory of that day for the rest of my life

Happier When You’re Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]

"Joe, Joe, Joe

Only fuck-ups need clean starts"

I scream as you come my way

(I'm happier when you're gone)

[Verse 2]

Joe, Joe, Joe

The chime of loves texting your phone

Familiar as the clothes I own

California, Pensacola, go

I'm happier when you're gone

[Verse 3]

It's not easy, it's not easy

Homelessness at home

My life is bracing for your hug

You pass me to unplug your phone

Hallelujah

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

The smell of burning cattle

Hangs on the westerly

Sweeping up through the fеrns

[Chorus]

I'm happier when you're gonе

I'm happier when you're gone

[Verse 4]

Benzo timeline

Cuts smiles to straight lines

I'm happier when you're gone (Happier)

It's not easy, it's not easy

Hopelessness on the range (Happier)

Yeah, you're breathing hard in the pastures

If not the lock then what has to change? (Happier)

Persecution is your favourite word

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

The smell of burning cattle

Hangs on the westerly

Sweeping up through the ferns

[Chorus]

I'm happier when you're gone (Happier)

I'm happier when you're gone

I'm happier when you're gone (Happier)

I'm happier when you're gone

[Outro]

I'm happier when you're gone

The Actor Lyrics

[Intro]

(Yeah)

[Verse 1]

Bricked up a kilo

Panelled down in the back door

All the while I'm riding

To auditions I'm not getting

[Refrain]

Why do I keep on returning to you?

[Verse 2]

All-American jawlines

One room going over same lines

Grind the script

Like teeth

[Refrain]

Why do I keep on returning to you?

Cocaine, cocaine

[Verse 3]

Swarm of TV cameras

Click and stumble at the Château

Later, I hear John's

Body got carried out

"Ice cream" was a code word

Told to me by a cold man

These nice hotels

Gotta know your clientele

[Refrain]

Why do I keep on returning to you?

Cocaine, cocaine

Cocaine, cocainе

Why do I keep on returning to you?

(Give me somе ice cream)

(Give it to me now, I want it now)

[Chorus]

I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool

(He's never gonna make it)

(He's never gonna make it in L.A.)

I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool

Cocaine, cocaine

I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool

(He's never gonna make it)

(He's never gonna make it in L.A.)

I'm in the deepest end of an empty pool

(He's never gonna make it)

Cocaine

(He's never gonna make it)

Cocaine

Philadelphia Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Am I cold? I cannot tell

Have I fallen or am I falling down the stairwell?

(Philadelphia!)

Oh, the cadence of the glow

Concussive flashes of distant memories

Good God, I feel your hands on me

[Chorus]

In the dying of the light

My aggressor runs under the lamps

Morning light, they'll get to see

The crime committed on me

(Philadelphia!)

[Verse 2]

Sonny Green is feeling slow

Pepped up with a bag so righteous he sings all of Rubber Soul

(Philadelphia!)

Oh, the cadence of the glow

Percussive flashes over dimly lit country

Good God, I feel your hands on me

[Chorus]

In the dying of the light

My aggressor runs under the lamps

Morning light, they'll get to see

The crime committed on me

(Philadelphia!)

[Bridge]

Silk, dampened, unknown, over final thoughts

Where will I be in two years?

Euphoria breaks over the bow, washing up the macabre

Out to sea to my mother's arms

And I'm losing my ability to fathom

Awake and not awake

And I'm losing my ability to fathom

Awake and not awake

And I'm losing my ability to fathom

Awake and not awake

[Outro]

(Philadelphia!)

Losing My Mind Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, legacy is a picture of me

On holiday in the late seventies

Drying after swimming, my father calls to me (Look over your shoulder)

Sunny disposition at the end of the jetty

Now that picture is displayed

With fifteen other missing boys

[Chorus]

You and I

Cut from the same cloth

You and I

Cut from the same cloth

This time

[Verse 2]

Montag

You're in drag

(Oh, es war einfach)

Feel this birthday

Without us

(All the change in my pocket is enough to celebrate)

[Chorus]

You and I

Cut from the same cloth

You and I

Cut from the same cloth

This time

[Bridge]

I'm losing my mind

And, oh, is it easy to remember

What it takes to be a man?

Oh, is it easy to remember

What it means to be a man?

I'm losing my mind

(I will pray for us)

[Chorus]

You and I

Cut from the same cloth

You and I

Cut from the same cloth

This time

You and I

Cut from the same cloth

You and I

Cut from the same cloth

This time

Powders Lyrics

[Intro: Spoken]

("Okay")

("Same, sorry")

[Verse 1]

Powders in between palms

In the dry Pacific night

Ooh

Hands pulling me

To a whole new place

Ooh

[Chorus]

I'm your man, I'm your man

[Verse 2]

"Free house," greatest two words

To hear at sixteen

Ooh

Glee, you've arrived

Floral notes from your friends

In between the crowd, we lock eyes

[Bridge]

"This fragrance should elevate your handsomeness"

She's looking up from the packaging and smiling

I know this girl, I've seen her at school

"Then I'll take a pallet", I laugh

The snap of my quip is caught under another shopper

Asking for directions to the restroom

She turns back to mе

"Would you like this gift wrapped?"

"No, thank you"

I watch her hands

"Okay, that'll bе $49.95"

I think I love her

"...Okay"

[Chorus]

I'm your man, I'm your man
