Notorious Lyrics
[Intro]
No-no-Notorious
Notorious
(Ah)
No-no-Notorious
[Verse 1]
I can't read about it
Burns the skin from your eyes
I'll do fine without it
Here's one you don't compromise
Lies come hard in disguise
They need to fight it out
Not wild about it
Lay your seedy judgements
Who says they're part of our lives?
[Chorus]
You own the money
You control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
Don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise, but I don't believe it
That's why I've done it again
[Refrain]
No-No-Notorious
[Verse 2]
Girls will keep the secrets (uh)
So long as boys make a noise
Fools run rings to break up
Something they'll never destroy
Grand Notorious slam (bam)
And who really gives a damn for a flaky bandit?
Don't ask me to bleed about it
I need this blood to survive
[Chorus]
You own the money
You control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
Don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise, but I don't believe it
That's why I've done it again
[Instrumental Bridge & Refrain]
Notorious
Notorious
[Chorus]
You own the money
You control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
Don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise, but I don't believe it
You own the money
You control the witness
I'll leave you lonely
Don't monkey with my business
You pay the prophets to justify your reasons
I heard your promise, but I don't believe it
That's why I've done it again
[Outro]
No
No
That's why I've done it again
No-Notorious
Yeah, that's why I've done it again
No-no-Notorious
Yeah, that's why I've done it again
No-Notorious
No-no-Notorious
Yeah, that's why I've done it again
No-Notorious
No-no-Notorious!
American Science Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
It's a little bit late now
But there's times you will
Get a little bit out of hand
Making all of a spill
And if we can lay this down
You're going all the way
Take a look and i'll check it out
Cause i can always find it
[Pre-Chorus]
Such a lonely place, ooh
This room without your face, ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
[Verse 2]
A little megalomania becomes you, evidently
There ain't a thing you can acquire
With your cling-wrap plaything
Just look at this state
I crawl around in a daze
Like symptomatic case
Of your soul persuasion
[PreChorus]
Such a lonely place, ooh
This room without your face, ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Ooh, it's a little bit later now
And there's time you will let it all get
Out of hand when you feel you feel
I just switched on the operation
Such a lovely face, ooh
It pulls me into place, ooh
[Chorus]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me
[Chorus-Outro]
Ooh, American science
All night long she can two-step and sway
Ooh, it's such awful manners
Don't keep me waiting, come and lie beside me...
Hold Me Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Yeah, this time
Shall we walk?
Shall we run through my head, you understand?
Does the body you conceal
Need the touch of someone's hand?
Ashes, violations
Who would they burn for?
In your isolation what can't you see?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening
[Chorus 2]
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
[Verse 2]
You are lost and alone
But a prisoner of your pride
When the passions you ignore
You can never hide
One of these days you're gonna find out
Cause one of these days you're gonna try
And what did i say
To make you wind up
With this spear of guilt inside
[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder if the light's down
I wonder if they're listening
[Chorus]
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Hold me
Na na na na na na
Show me
Na na na na na na na na na na
[Chorus-Outro]
Hold me
Lay your shame away
Show me where your lovers stay
Hold me
Lay your ghost away
Show me for yourself!
So Misled Lyrics
[Intro]
I, I, I.......So misled
[Verse 1]
In the summer of a London life
"Gold" she said
Was a month before I realised
"Sold" instead
Babe, it's such an awful choice
Don't break my back
Take it easy now, your whipping boy
Don't wanna feel the crack
Trust my head to say lose it
Now my body's got to use it
[Chorus]
I, I, I should not be so misled
I, I, I should not be so misled
[Verse 2]
Saw an advert in a magazine
Safe it said, with the satisfaction
Guaranteed to cool your head
I can't see the solution
To this state of confusion
[Chorus]
I, I, I should not be so misled
I, I, I should not be so misled
I, I, I should not be so misled
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
I, I, I should not be so misled
I, I, I should not be so misled
[Hook]
So misled
So misled
[Outro]
Ok, take it away!
Do do do do do do
La la la la la la la
Do do do do do do
La la la la la la la
In the summer of a London life
Do do do do do do
La la la la la la la
Was a month before I realised
Do do do do do do
La la la la la la la...
Winter Marches On Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The trade's on
She drains emotion
To drink from her breast of fortune
Dreams have frozen crystal in the morning
Birth time rose
A thorn for coronation
[Verse 2]
All arise from your rest
We will find enough there to feed you
Soon you'll belong to the blest
Spare us your lives while we need you
[Chorus]
Loud is the music the crowd is bringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on
Loud is the music the Sky is ringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Loud is the music the crowd is bringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on
Loud is the music the Sky is ringing
Out of my head as the winter marches on
[Outro]
And on
Winter marches on...
Proposition Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
"Bring back that child" she said
Spare me the price of freedom
Cold is my baby's head
Blown by the wind of reason
Even the rage behind
Cries out to see
We're still standing
Under the closing edge
Pay for the crime of feeling
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When all your pride is dead
You must be scared instead
[Chorus]
A quiet word is my Proposition
A promise made of a fierce day
A body bleeds for this coalition
Without surrender if you stay
[Verse 2]
"Show me my youth" she cried
Wasted for desolation
Hold up the sacrifice
Pull down your institution
Resting while anger flies
Question's the same
Who's deciding after the clouds have lain
Shame on your generation
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When all your guilt lies dead
You must be scared instead
[Chorus]
A quiet word is my Proposition
A promise made of a fierce day
A body bleeds for this coalition
Without surrender if you stay
[Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus 3]
When all your pain lies dead
You must be scared instead
[Chorus]
A quiet word is my Proposition
A promise made of a fierce day
A body bleeds for this coalition
Without surrender if you stay
A quiet word is my Proposition
A promise made of a fierce day
A body bleeds for this coalition
Without surrender if you stay
[Outro]
Proposition
