The Piss, The Perfume

I heard you’re coming back to Sydney
I have prepared reaction for this one
I’m sure you expect that I will break down and cry
Or I'll slither away and
Stumble out my window as you skip by singing
Don’t it come around
The wind and the sound
The slant in the room
The piss, the perfume
Always somehow
Can bring me to tears
Whenever combined
With of with pictures of you
I heard you’re coming back to Sydney town
Thought you weren’t for the simple life
Run it alone the whole world round
Do not believe me baby
I've been lying that I’m strong
But I gotta get out
I’m in a rhythm of doubt
I should be back in the fight where I belong
Not stumbling out my window
With your old T-shirt on
And don’t it come around
The wind and the sound
The slant in the room
The piss, the perfume
Always somehow
Can bring me to tears
Whenever combined
With pictures of you
Honeys to my left
And baby’s aright
The less that I have
The more that I find
Them calling me out
And I’m uninspired
Whenever your light
Whispers over mine
And I find bitterness through love
And I find through bitterness true love
And I find bitterness through love
(And coming down she was)
And I find through bitterness true love
And I find bitterness through love
And I find through bitterness true love
Don’t it come around
The wind and the sound
The slant in the room
The piss, the perfume
Always somehow
Can bring me to tears
Whenever combined
With pictures of you
Honeys to my left
And baby’s aright
The less that I have
The more that I find
Them calling me out
And I’m uninspired
Whenever your light
Whispers over mine
And I find bitterness through love
And I find through bitterness true love
And I find bitterness through love
(And coming down she was)
And I find through bitterness true love
And I find bitterness through love
And I find through bitterness true love

Like A Woman Should
04:03

Caught in the crossfire caught in the fishing wire, ohhh
Your love is a sweet thing the anger in me choses to ignore
And sometimes I wish that I was, wish that I was, wish that I was born in another time
In the future, see my daughters born, see my daughters born
Born into a world where
Suddenly like I could walk the street, I walk the street like a woman should
Like nobody was around
Like I could walk the street, I walk the street like woman should
I was a lady. You were a streetlight in the cold
If you could save my body, I wonder what you would do with my soul
And sometimes I wish that I was, wish that I was born in another time
In the future, see my daughters born, see my daughters born
Born Into a world where
Suddenly like I could, walk the street, I walk the street like a woman should
Like nobody was around
Like I could, could shed the anatomy of my high school
Like my body was allowed
Yeah like I could walk the street, I walk the street like a woman should
And I’d be walking home to you
I’d be walking home to you
We hadn’t had the chance to say goodbye
Before they lay me down to the ground to die
I hope I find me a world where
Suddenly like I could walk the street, I walk the street like a woman should
Like nobody was around
Like I could, could shed the economy of my childhood
Like my body was allowed
Yeah like I could walk the street, I walk the street like a woman should
I’d be walking home to you
I’d be walking home to you

Ordinary Me
03:39

I see her in you dreams
I thought her on your brain
If it were up to me, well none of us would change
But time will stake her claim
As it goes on and on forever
Ordinary me, but with you on my mind
I see it in rewind
I know you’re going home
But since we’ve said goodbye
Well I don’t wanna know
How time can waste away
As it goes on and on forever
Ordinary me, but with you on my mind
I’ll be more and more than better
More than I should be
Because for you I try
Yes it’s for you I try
So don’t go changing, changing, changing, changing, changing
I don’t wanna be lonely my whole life
As if time could waste away
But it goes on and on forever
Ordinary me, but with you on my mind
I’ll be more and more than better
All that I could be
Because for you I try
Yes it’s for you I try
I said for you I try

Holly

Holly, Holly, Holly, where did you go after '97?
Holly, Holly, Holly, did you grow out of the kleptomania?
I can’t think of anyone who had a better hold on me
A better hold on me
She’s a storm, but she tries to live in the norm
In the heart of America
As you bear the children of yawn
I hope that you’re better now girl
Oh, yell it out, yell it out, yell it out, on your feet
Oh, yell it out, yell it out, yell it out, on your feet
Oh, Holly, you’re heating up that floor
Hollow cheeks and eyes are heavy noir
And as she lay down, I fell to my knees
She’s a storm, but she tries to live in the norm
In the heart of America
As you bear the children of yawn
I hope that you’re getting there girl
Now your name’s Victoria Yawn
And your hair is paradise blonde
But I still would recognise you on the news
You’re the heart of America
Oh, yell it out, yell it out, yell it out, on your feet
Oh, yell it out, yell it out, yell it out, on your feet
Oh, on your own, your soft moisturised feet
Oh on your, Dior moisturised feet
She’s a storm, but she tries to live in the norm
In the heart of America
As you bear the children of yawn
I hope that you’re getting there girl
Now your name’s Victoria Yawn
And your hair is paradise blonde
But I’ll always recognise you on the news
You’re the heart of America

Brat
03:12

I bet you never let the weather get the better of you
Your house on fire, your sky still blue
And if I ever get together I’ll be getting out too
I’ll skip the cracks, I won’t look back, I won’t fall through
And they say nothing, nothing, nothing is more
And it’s gonna change your life
Yeah, nothing, nothing, nothing is more
And it’s gonna change your life
But what if I’m a brat and I want more?
And I want more and I want more
And I’m a brat and I want more
And I want more and I want more
I bet you’re clever and you never let the tether on you
The darkness bound, you turned around
You never knew
And you say nothing, nothing, nothing is more
And it’s gonna change your life
Well then, what am I here hanging on for
Have I gotta tear it down?
Because I’m a brat and I want more and
I want more and I want more
And I’m a brat and I want more
And I want more and I want more
And I’m a brat and I want more
And I want more and I want more
And I’m a brat and I want more
And I want more and I’m the one’s gonna change it up
Yeah I’m gonna change it up
I’m gonna change your life
