I could be your boyfriend
I could be your boy
I wanna crash into you baby
like an asteroid
and make you laugh
take you to my fat dad
I wanna make you laugh
so don’t be sad
cos I could be your boyfriend
I could be your girl
we’ll stay in bed forever
we’ll save the world
we’ll die for love
we’ll give it a year or two
it’s close enough
we’ll be alright
be honest with yourself
I mean right now
is there anybody else?
cos I could be your best friend
I could be your spouse
burn me with the fag end
spit in my mouth

Love Song Suicide

being close to you is like a suicide
logical and the only way I wanna go
cos I’d prefer to live forever in your heart
than stay another second out here
in the shadow of love
and it’s unbelievable
the feeling when I
walk a little too close to the edge
smoking from the hotel window ledge
committing love song suicide
i’m not forgiving anyone i’m not that special
committing love song suicide
I can’t ignore it anymore tonight
you couldn’t say I haven’t tried
who am I kidding I’m far too sentimental
committing love song suicide
I won’t bore you anymore tonight
cos I keep milking these memories
like living dreams
like a misery and agony’s second cousin
they crucify your future husband
& It’s New Year’s Eve
stuck at some house party
smells like bullshit blossoming on his breath
I’m talking to your boyfriend bored to death
and it’s unbelievable
the feeling when I
talk little too close to the edge
I’m ugly and I’m older but I ain’t dead
committing love song suicide
i’m not forgiving anyone i’m not that special
i’ll commit love song suicide
I can’t ignore it anymore tonight
you couldn’t say I never tried
who am I kidding I’m far too sentimental
committing love song suicide
I won’t bore you anymore tonight
Rose is shivering in the rain
moments bloom and die away
Rose is shimmering in my veins
Rose is hard to follow
Rose there’s something I have to say
ain’t it obvious ain’t it obvious from my face
Rose is shimmering still shimmering in my veins
ain’t it obvious ain’t it obvious from my face
Roses I ain’t forgiving anyone I’m not that special
moments they bloom and they bloom and they die away
Rose is shimmering shimmering in my veins
Rose is hard to swallow

dead Patriots, Blind Tigers
sweat and they moan
in-between my legs
as your beautiful boy he says
told you once, tell you again
better stop looking at my girlfriend
throw your penny down the wishing well
buy us a drink baby yeah yeah
She’s my pizza, She’s my Jesus
She’s my Geezer, She’s my England
She’s my home town, She’s my neighbour
She’s my children, She’s my Maiji
Suicidal, She’s survival
She’s my Monday, She’s my rival
She found me at home
face down dead in the pub
these are the words the words of love
told you once tell you again
better stop looking at my girlfriend
throw your penny down the wishing well
plenty more to afford that girl
you’re not the first you won’t be the last
there’s blood on the trail of broken hearts
calm down darling I don’t bite
come a little closer baby its your lucky night
la la la la la la la
deep in the jungle sound of the drums
deep in the desert sound of the guns
deep in the ocean nuclear subs
but we laugh and we laugh like a couple of kids when we come
dead Patriots Blind Tigers, Moan in-between his legs
as your beautiful boy he says
told you once tell you again
better stop looking at the girlfriend
throw your penny down the wishing well
plenty more to afford that girl
you’re not the first you won’t be the last
there’s blood on the trail of broken hearts
He’s my best friend, my first lady
He’s my Guantanamo baby
He’s my girlfriend
He’s my girlfriend
told you once tell you again
better stop looking at my boyfriend
throw your penny down the wishing well
buy us a drink baby time will tell
you’re not the first you won’t be the last
there’s blood on the trail of broken hearts
calm down I don’t bite
come a little closer baby its your lucky night
