TAT Soho Lights Lyrics
1.Road To Paradise

No one's paved the road to paradise*
Or guaranteed that it'd be nice
It's just a long road hard road
Dragging our little red wagon
Till were six feet under wondering
'What the Fuck have I done?
Where did all my time go?'
At times in life you gotta take
A chance and dance on broken
Glass and see who lasts

Love has tortured
And love has killed
But love has saved a million still
We're all we need two lungs one heart
To face the troubles life does part
Don't waste a second breath
You're deal, Take it, Hold it, Make it felt
One wasted life one wasted youth
Wasted prospects idols too
Your own demise
You're better off alone
No alibis No compromise

No one's paved the road to paradise
Or guaranteed that it'd be nice
It's just a long road hard road
Dragging our little red wagon
Till were six feet under wondering
'What the Fuck have I done?
Where did all my time go?'
At times in life you gotta take
A chance and dance on broken
Glass and see who lasts

Last night I had a dream
I went to a golden place
A place I didn't recognize
St. Peter don't let me in
He says I don't have faith
He says I don't believe
I don't believe

Love has tortured
And love has killed
But love has saved a million still
We're all we need two lungs one heart
To face the troubles life does part
Don't waste a second breath
You're deal, Take it, Hold it, Make it felt
One wasted life one wasted youth

No one's paved the road to paradise or guaranteed that it'd be
nice
It's just a long road hard road
Dragging our little red wagon
Till were six feet under wondering
'What the Fuck have I done?
Where did all my time go?'
At times in life you gotta take
A chance and dance on broken
Glass and see who lasts


2.Sympathetic Lies

Fucked up beyond the rest, plastered to my bed*
Nothing bearing in me that's left, just a mutinous protest
Stories old of the critical fold, you've heard it all before
Nothing new, just this little girl
And this is how I'm feelin'

Knuckle bashed insomniac, my head takes another spin
Never been aware of the fact, grant you a moral switch
Stories old of the critical fold, you've been sold it all before
Laid bare from all alone, and nothing, I could care less

You stay up all night to keep my eyes dry
You stay up all night to make it easier when I cry
You stay up all night, stop me from feelin' like I could die
You stay up all night to be by my side

Fucked up beyond repair, only fragments in my head
Too hard to find a piece of myself, leave it to someone else
Guilty of getting out for free, with the ? empathy
Given up, I'm completely carefree, yeah, I couldn't give a fuck
less

You stay up all night to keep my eyes dry
You stay up all night to make it easier when I cry
You stay up all night, stop me from feelin' like I could die
You stay up all night to be by my side

My head feels tight, like its gonna burst
My lungs feel light, so tired of getting burned
My head feels tight, like its gonna burst
My lungs feel like...

You stay up all night to keep my eyes dry
You stay up all night to make it easier when I cry
You stay up all night, stop me from feelin' like I could die
You stay up all night to be by my side

We all get a little fucked up sometimes
We all need someone to make it easy when we cry

Don't let me go, don't let me go, don't let me go
Stay by my side


3.Pessimist

Lyricist:Tatiana Moufarrige Maria

A pessimist you call me
I'll be 'round to bring you down
My friendship's underrated
I've been crowned queen for letting you down

Give me your heart, I'll give it back
All battered and torn
And every silver lining has its cloud
Can I be yours now?

And I'll sit on your face and say I love you and leave you
The next day for someone who owes even you
Put you trust in me to discover
No less than a twist in my sobriety

When you need me the most
I'll be pissed off my face or stoned and I'll be loving it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can count on me, yeah, yeah

Here I am your prized and weighted catch
I've been found faulty
Just give me a chance I'll stab you in the back
Please put your trust in me

I am the itch you can't scratch
Try this dagger
Put your trust in me, put your trust in me
Put your trust in me, put your trust in me

I'll sit on your face and say I love you and leave you
The next day for someone who owes even you
Put you trust in me to discover
No less than a twist in my sobriety

When you need me the most
I'll be pissed off my face or stoned and I'll be loving it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can count on me, yeah, yeah

Ooh, I am the itch that you can't scratch, yeah, yeah
Ooh, I am the itch that you can't scratch, yeah, yeah

I'll sit on your face and say I love you and leave you
The next day for someone who owes even you
Put you trust in me to discover
No less than a twist in my sobriety

When you need me the most
I'll be pissed off my face or stoned and I'll be loving it
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can count on me, yeah, yeah

Ohh, ohh, I am the itch that you can't scratch, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, I am the itch that you can't scratch, yeah, yeah


4.Stay Up

Fucked up*
Beyond a wreck
Plastered to my bed
Nothing daring in me thats left
Just a mutinous protest
Story's old to the critical fold
You've heard it all before
Nothing new just this little girl
And this is how I'm feeling...

Knuckle bashed insomniac
My head takes another spin
Never been aware of the fact
Eventual moral switch
Story's old to the critical fold
You've been sold it all before
Laid bare from all I own
And nothing I could care less...

You stay up all night
to keep my eyes dry
You stay up all night
to make it easier when I cry
You stay up all night
to stop me feeling like I could die
You stay up all night
to be by my side...

Fucked up
beyond repair
only fragments in my head
too numb to find a piece of myself
leave it to someone else
guilty of treating apathy
with the greatest empathy
Given up I'm completely carefree
Yo I couldn't I've a fuck less

and my head feels tight
like it's gonna burst
and my lungs feel light
so tired of getting burnt...

You stay up...
We all get a little fucked up sometimes
We all need someone to stay by our side
We all need someone to make it easy
When we cry
don't let me go
don't let me go
don't let me go...
Stay by my side


5.I Don't Want To (Love You)

Lyricist:Tatiana Moufarrige Maria

Your absence doesn't make my heart grow fonder
I won't miss you more and more, yeah
Insane infatuation drives me crazy
Nah, no one but myself can save me

'Cause I don't wanna love you
I don't wanna miss you more and more and more

You're scratchin' at my scull and pullin' on my heart strings
I miss you like I miss a bullet for a bee sting
You're settin' bombs off on a settin' under my skin
No, the drugs ain't workin', now I'm beggin' for replacements

And what you wanna do? And what you wanna say?
This severed blunt street only goes one way
Tried and tested another fuck up for sure
I can't take it anymore

'Cause I don't wanna love you
And I don't wanna miss you more and more and more
And I don't wanna love you
And lust for you, yeah, and lost my mind over you

I'm like those people who'll just sit there
And they stare at you blankly enough to think
What the fuck's been going through you mind lately?

And what you wanna do? And what you wanna say?
Could it be heartbreak? Could it be passion?
Wouldn't know unless you ask them

So what they're thinking is hey, I don't look like this 24/7
Give me one second I'll just go get another expression
Reconcile my apathy with my personality
Give me a reason not to care

'Cause I don't wanna love you
And I don't wanna miss you more and more and more
And I don't wanna love you
And lust for you, yeah, and lose my mind over you

'Cause I don't wanna love you and I'm
Sick of missin' you more and more and more
'Cause I don't wanna love you
And lust for you, yeah, and lose my mind over you

You took my heart, my soul away
And left me thinking 'bout you every day
You took my heart, my soul away
And left me feeling like a fucking waste

'Cause I don't wanna love you
And I don't wanna miss you more and more and more
And I don't wanna love you
And lust for you, yeah, and lose my mind over you


6.Everything I Want

A coward I openly admit*
Your hope for me I will forget
You are my love, my lust and my misery
I'd drag the world onto it's knees
And make it beg for you I need
Your love, your list and all you own
When I have I will run
I will break your heart to none
I will break your heart

You're everything I want
And everything I fear
Let me out, let me be

You'd drag the world onto its knees
And make it beg for me you need
my love, my lust and all I own
When you have it you will run
You will break my heart to none
You will break my heart

You're everything I want
And everything I fear
Let me out, let me be
You're every hope I hold
And everything I loathe
Let me out, let me be
Let me out, let me be
Let me out, let me be


7.Here's To You

Here's to you, another bottle of wine*
Make me forget I'm alive
I'm numbing my senses blind
So i can lie and say it does not move me
No, so don't touch me, don't speak to me
No, don't look at me, don't look at me so
I can't stand, standing in line and saying it does not move me

I've been down every road I thought I'd ever want to go
I found you before I found love, and all the things I never
wanna know
I've been down every road I thought I'd ever want to go
Until I found you, here's to you
There's only so much wine can do
Until I found you, here's to you, here's to you, here's to you

So don't touch me, don't speak to me, no
Don't look at me, don't look at me so
I can't stand standing in line and saying it does not move me,
no
Don't see me, or look me in the eyes
You were right, boy, right every time
I can't stand standing in line and saying it does not move me,
no

Here's to you, another bottle of wine
Make me forget I'm alive
I'm drowning you out now, my aching heart is just fine
I cowered in silence, you stared, it was lust you struggled to
say
I'm sorry, but I can't stand, I can't be loved this way

I've been down every road I thought I'd ever want to go
I found you before I found love, and all the things I never
wanna know
I've been down every road I thought I'd ever want to go
Until I found you, here's to you
There's only so much wine can do
See, 'cause I found you, here's to you, here's to you, here's to
you

So don't touch me, don't speak to me, no
Don't look at me, don't look at me so
I can't stand standing in line and saying it does not move me,
no
Don't see me, or look me in the eyes
You were right, boy, right every time
I can't stand standing in line and saying it does not move me,
no

Here's to you, boy, and another bottle of wine, boy
I'm drinking myself blind, boy, I'm drinking myself blind
Here's to you, boy, and another bottle of wine, boy
I'm drinking myself blind, boy, I'm drinking myself blind
Blind...

So don't touch me, don't speak to me, no
Don't look at me, don't look at me so
I can't stand standing in line and saying it does not move me,
no
Don't see me, or look me in the eyes
You were right, boy, right every time
I can't stand standing in line and saying it does not move me,
no


8.Diamond Child

I was born, misbehaved*
Having smoked up my propriety
Who needs it anyway?
I use it like the blunt side of a blade
Blunt side of a blade
Well there's nothing left that's same
But who am I to complain
Yeah i'll torch your book of ways
And wipe my arse with the remains
With the remains...

I'll never be your diamond child
Don't wait on me
I'll never be your diamond child

So what do you do
When you're only sixteen
And life stares you in the face
And says, what you gunna be?
What you gunna be?
You're dressed to the nines
And bored to the teeth
With your first class living
Where something means nothing to me
Nothing to me

I'll never be your diamond child
Don't wait on me
I'll never be your diamond child

They got you on your knees
You're begging
You're waiting for self control
They say they got control of you
But you know that that ain't true
You're waiting to shine
Like the others shine
Well you can wait here the rest of your life
You'll never shine like the others shine
I'll never be your diamond child


9.Taking It All

I got the greed*
The hunger in me
I got the creed
From the devil in me
I'm in the belly of the beast
And you let me eat my heart out
I want to feel
All you got in you
I want to be
Whatever you do
I want to love the way you love
I want it all now...

Nothing but good hearts gone bad
So afraid to bleed and holding back
I'm taking it all
I'm taking it all yeah...

A crutch a break
That I can take
My blood runs cold
Through your ball and chain
Go on pucker up love
Take what you deserve
I'll hold you down
Have you shackled and bound
Till you give out
I'll have you gagged and crowned
The light of my desire and my affliction

Nothing but good hearts gone bad
So afraid to bleed and holding back
I'm taking it all
I'm taking it all
I'm taking it all
I'm taking it all
From start to end and everything between

I'm going to take all you have in you
I want to be whatever you do
And all you have in mind yeah


10.Sandra Dee

Look at me, I'm not Sandra Dee*
I'm just a little girl, trapped in my own world
And I'm still wondering, hoping, dreaming, loving...

So say I'll break this, say I saw this
Say I'm not worth my wait in stone
I'm not worth a damn living,
I'm not worth the day I'm living

Well I had my shot and I let it drop
And say I'm doped up, so no,
And I think, 'Oh fuck, what have I done?'
I didn't suck hard, so long

So say I'm worthless, insolent, and life just gives no disciple
And I'm insecure, my sanity's more
my sanity's more

I don't need you...

Look at me, I'm not your fairy queen
but in society you choke conformity
and you counter out envy, well feel free
to piss on each other's parade;
in success there ain't no shame

So say I'm worthless, insolent, and life just gives no disciple
and I'm insecure, my sanity's more
And now, so let them talk and what they see and more, will
change me
no one sees, is that I'm bound to be,
I'm born to be me

I don't need you

I'm sure to let you down
so go on, take me on
I swallow you with ease
like the barrel of a gun
You won't let me in
you've set the damage done
See, difference just ain't me,
I beat it out till I kill it

I think you've set the damage done

I don't need you...
I'm sure to let you down
so go on, take me on
I swallow you with ease
like the barrel of a gun
You won't let me in;
I don't know what I've done
See, difference just ain't me,
I beat it out till I kill it

Look at me, I'm not Sandra Dee
I'm just a little girl, trapped in my own world


11.Take You Home

A sight for eyes so sore you are*
A taste of amphetamine
A blister growing on my hear
I got a little time to kill

So here I am in all but my name
The saints are laughing at me still
I want it all and I'll wait
But then I'm going to have my way

I'll wait wait to take you home
Yeah I can wait wait to take you home
Well I can wait but only for so long
And then I'm having my way with you
And making you my own

No sight of strength left in my will
I'm losing composure quick
I think I'd die if looks could kill
And desperation's kicking in

So here I am in all but my name
The saints are pissing on me still
I want it all and I'll wait
But then I'm going to have my way

I can wait wait to take you home
I can wait wait to take you home
Yeah I can wait but only for so long
And then I'm having my way with you
And making you my own!


12.You Hero

Thinking about us now*
And I'm wondering
How between us went sour
And I don't know
Cos things don't change alone

Regrets have dug
Their way through my skin
And grown against me
Together with my sins
Nothing'll stop them
I give up I give in

Dancing up on me now
Running my wounds into the ground
Standing like a trophy on your winning ground
You hero

Dressed up to suit the occasion
Lip stick and a bottle of Gordon's
The last drop kisses the tip of my tongue
Elicit intentions I play with
Dressed to kill
I'm my only victim
More chalk to the streets
Another love struck beat

Dancing up on me now
Running my wounds into the ground
Standing like a trophy on your winning ground
You hero

What doesn't kill you hurts like a bitch
And I can't think straight
'cause I miss your typical body flicks
Yeah


13.Live For Rock

With a bit of lose change in my pocket yeah*
My soul is stubborn, and nothing'll stop me.
Cos' I know where I'm going, I'll go at it alone,
I know where I'm going yeah, my mind's still strong.

So step in my way and I'll knock you down,
Like a thousand shit bricks I'll drag you to the ground.
I'm done with crumbling under my fears,
I'll make it my own way through blood, sweat and tears.
Cos' I...

Live for rock n roll,
And I'll die, before I sell my soul.
Yeah I, live for rock n roll,
Where freedom of expression and liberty ain't a discretion.
And I...
Live for rock n roll,
And I'll die, before I sell my soul.
Yeah I, live for rock n roll,
Freedom of expression in a world with no repression.

You can't pay this piper to play your tune,
I'll say what I want so you can sit and endure.
And I've been told in hope that degenerates change,
Not in this case insane I'll remain.

Cos' I've been kicked when I'm down and I've been told I'm
nothing,
Well I'm back for you fuckers so don't tempt me I'll crush 'em.
I'm sick of hypocrisy and fabricated acts,
Where love for music is sacrificed for cash.
And I...

Live for rock n roll,
And I'll die, before I sell my soul.
Yeah I, live for rock n roll,
Where freedom of expression and liberty ain't a discretion.
And I...
Live for rock n roll,
And I'll die, before I sell my soul.
Yeah I, live for rock n roll,
Freedom of expression in a world with no repression.

Oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi wooooaaahhh!!!

Take back this bottle of liquor,
Cos I found something that'll get to my heart a little quicker.

It does something to me,
Moves right through me.
Head rush I can't forget,
Nothing I'll live to regret.
This rock n roll moves me,
Moves right through me.
It's my integrity,
It's what it takes to set me free.
Cos' I'll...

Live for rock n roll,
And I'll die, before I sell my soul.
Yeah I, live for rock n roll,
Freedom of expression in a world with no repression.
Live for rock n roll,
And I'll die, before I sell my soul.
Yeah I, live for rock n roll,
Screw your industry I won't let it go!


14.Bloodstain


I left my right foot in your shoe*
And my left stuck right in grave.
My brain is telling me to wait,
And stop chewing on my leg.
You got me wrapped around your finger,
Tight like a piece of thread.
I feel weak, I can't breathe,
Yeah I'm loosing streak, you're like a choker around my neck.

Everytime I try to get away I can't cos' you stick,
Like a bloodstain on my sleeve.
Everytime I try to leave I can't cos' you're stitched,
You're stitched in my memory.
Yeah, yea nah nah nah.

I tore my pillow up to shreds,
The bitch wouldn't listen to how I felt.
I watched your feathers dance on air,
Laughing freedom in my face.
I saw you throw the keys away,
The keys to my guilded cage.
Struck blind I took the leap,
And bit of more than I could take.

Everytime I try to get away I can't cos' you stick,
Like a bloodstain on my sleeve.
Everytime I try to leave I can't cos' you're stitched,
You're stitched in my memory.
Everytime I try to breathe I can't cos' you sit,
You're sitting on top of me.
When I comes down to make or break,
You make my blood boil, break my confidence.
Yeah, yeah nah nah nah.

Spinless now I'm numb and bored,
Go ahead and knock I'm already disturbed.
Strings all cut now I'm a puppet free,
And I'm walking away ay ay ay.

We struck an ugly compromise yeah,

We struck an ugly compromise yeah,
My life for your life, my life for your life, my life for your
life, an eye for an eye!

Everytime I try to get away I can't cos' you stick,
Like a bloodstain on my sleeve.
Everytime I try to leave I can't cos' you're stitched,
You're stitched in my memory.
Everytime I try to breathe I can't cos' you sit,
You're sitting on top of me.
When I comes down to make or break,
You make my blood boil, break my confidence.


15.Champagne, Cocaine & Strawberries


Champagne, cocaine & strawberries. (2x)*

Firs time you down it,
Yeah you'll have a laugh.
Second time you down it,
You'll be low on cash.
Third time you'll fall,
With the alcohol.

Champagne, cocaine & strawberries. (2x)

First time you smoke it,
No you'll never regret it.
Second time you sniff it,
You'll be up to some mischief.
Third time unlucky,
Cocaine.

Here we go!


Strawberry fields they'll forever appeal,
Their soft red skin is in your mind for real.
Champagne, cocaine & strawberries.

You can sip it, and you can down it.
And you can lick it and like it and light it.
But you can't fight it, ooooh alcohol.

You might loathe it, or even own it.
You can roll it, inject it and sniff it and smoke it,
Cocaine.

You can like them, and you can love them.
And you can eat them, but you can't beat them.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah strawberries.

After a couple of drinks, my head starts to spin.
A few more straight tips and I'm losing grip,
My world slowly begins to slip.

Do a couple of lines, lets get high.
Too many more and I'm not keeping score,
You know I secretly want more.

One last time!
