‘Now you’ve got the best of me,
Come on and take the rest of me,
Oh baby…’
‘The Drugs Don’t Work’
Another headache
Starts to form
But there’s nothing I can do
For all that would help
Stave this off this pain
Is to lie down next to you

You could just say how you feel

Instead of sending me a song
But these folks are professionals

Skin somewhat healing
Yet I’m still left reeling
As my heart slowly withers
Is there a more appealing
Way of coping with this feeling
Other than by using scissors?

Other than please, give me more
‘Tango In The Night’
If
you

And

You’d be
powerless

The Fuck You Song I Wish I’d Written
So you wanna know me now?
How I’ve been?
You can’t help someone recover
After what you did
So tell me
Am I looking better?
Have you forgot whatever it was
That you couldn’t stand about me,
about me, about me?
Because
Yes I do feel better, yes I do
I feel alright
(I’m better now)
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do with what you’ve got to offer!
You wanna know me now?

Yes I do feel better, yes I do

(I’m better now)
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do with what you’ve got to offer!
On and on and on and on and on and on – has no-one said?
Stay away
Stay away
I’m better, better
Yes!
I feel well enough to tell you what you can do with what you’ve got…
‘Yes’
