Three Imaginary Boys Complete Lyrics

Accuracy Lyrics

[Intro]
Cherish this moment, feel safe
 
[Verse 1]
We sit in the same room, side by side
I give you the wrong lines, feed you
 
[Chorus]
Accuracy
Accuracy
 
[Verse 2]
Look into my eyes, we both smile
Can kill you without trying
 
[Chorus]
That's accuracy
Accuracy
Accuracy
 
[Bridge]
An observer's refrain
 
[Chorus]
Accuracy
Accuracy
 
 
[Outro]
Practice all day for accuracy
Mirror, mirror on the wall

Meathook Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went into the butcher
I said I wanted, wanted, wanted some meat
Pass me some of that steak over there
You know it...
 
[Chorus]
I lost my heart to a meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook
 
[Verse 2]
The butcher man was some lady, who really stole my...
Pass me some of that stuff, that slaughterhouse art
 
[Chorus]
I lost my heart to a meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook
 
 
[Verse 3]
Specimen in my heart
It's tearing me all apart
It's ripping out my insides but I just can't get away
I just can't
 
[Chorus]
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook, meat
I lost my heart to a meathook
Meathook, meathook, meathook, meathook
Meathook, meathook
Small talk, fun [?]
My, my, my, my, my, my, oh... meat

Fire in Cairo Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slowly fading blue, the eastern hollows
Catch the dying sun, the night-time follows
Silence and black mirror pool
Mirrors a lonely place where I meet you
 
[Pre-Chorus]
See your head in the fading light
And through the dark your eyes shine bright
 
[Chorus]
And burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo
And burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo
 
[Verse 2]
Shifting crimson veil, silken hips
Slide under my hand, sullen lips
Whisper my name and I yearn
You take me in your arms, start to burn
 
[Refrain]
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
Then the heat disappears and the mirage fades away
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
 
[Refrain]
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E I-N C-A-I-R-O, oh, oh
 
[Outro]
Burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo
Burn like a fire in Cairo, burn like a
Fire, fire, fire, fire
Blaze like a fire in Cairo, blaze like
Fire, fire, fire, fire, flare
Burn like fire, burn like fire in Cairo

It’s Not You Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh!
 
[Verse 1]
You wear your smile like it was going out of fashion
Dress to inflame but douse any ideas of passion
You carry your love in a trinket hanging 'round your throat
Always inviting, always exciting, but I must not take off my coat
 
[Chorus]
Well, I'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure who I've got in mind
But I know that it's not you
That it's not you
 
[Verse 2]
You ask me questions that I never wanted to hear
I am the only one just until you finish this year
I would murder you if I had the alibi here in my hand
But you just laugh 'cause you don't understand
 
[Chorus]
That I'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure who I've got in mind
But I know that it's not you
 
 
[Refrain]
That it's not you
That it's not you
That it's not you
That it's not you
 
[Outro]
That it's not you
No, it's not you
That it's not you
It's not you
It's not you
