Blood Guts Bruises Cuts

The Dudes Blood Guts Bruises Cuts Lyrics
1.Had Enough Of It

Now I feel in love with you, no one asks me to
It just comes to me, when i should run to you
There's no have-to-be's, i'll just let it breathe
And watch it all come true

I don't know if you love me, not much is happening
It's all coming through just in closed captioning
I see your lips move, and your hands follow too
It makes no sense to me

I can see that you've resigned to hang with the likes of our
kind
Though we're rough and unrefined, it doesn't seem like you mind
Sometimes the backward lead the blind, I never was too good at
making up my mind
But it suits me fine

So say you'll love me girl, say you'll love me and I

I'll spend my time catching up to it, a lifetime behind i'm fed
up with it
Had enough of it
I'ma laugh like hell, well, here goes nothing
Watch me laugh like hell, well, here goes nothing
I'll love myself enough for the both of us

Now I feel in love with you, no one asks me to
It just comes to me, when i should run to you


2.Not S'pose To Call

She said she knows exactly what I need, to love someone who's
not in love with me
I got called out for being dead inside, half alive, it blew my
mind
She wants me to want her and she promise(s) that
No matter what she would never want me back
And I'm like, confused 'cause it seems like bad news to me

My girl's too sharp for her tender age
A little too big for this bed i've made
I've got her # but it's no good to me
Another for where she works
I've something to tell her, but

I'm not s'pose to call her, she's gon call me, i see
We don't have a lot of love, what we got is liberty
I don't even call her, she won't call back, that's that
I'm gonna save my quarters for the laundromat

That is so cruel... I feel alone when I'm with you
Yeah, I'm a fool, I'm aware I can sometimes be a real asshole
too

My girl's too sharp for her tender age
A little too big for this bed I've made
I've got her # but it's no good to me
Another for where she works
I think I could love her, but

I'm not s'pose to call her, she's gon call me, I see
We don't have a lot of love, what we got is liberty
I don't even call her, she won't call back, that's that
I'm gonna save my quarters for the laundromat


3.Find Out

You don't want to know but you've got to find out
I'm gonna get to the bottom of what this shit's about
No I don't like to get awful, but I will clear this fuckin'
house
If I don't find out, find out. I've got to find out, yes

Now, I'm a man who don't like hassles
But you assholes get me mean
You better lay that truth right on me, man
Or I'ma set my fury free
I hate my secret anger, but you're gonna hate it more than me
If I don't find out... yes

And the breeze blows you many things
You don't want to know but oh my man
It's gonna blow so let it blow your way
And if a bird sings an awful tune
You don't have to think about it, oh my man
There ain''t no bird gonna break your heart
They told me there ain't no bird gonna break your heart
Not your heart

You don't want to know, oh, but you've got to find out
Some dude better start talking, and tell me what this shit's
about
I know the truth can unloose poison but I will punch you in your
mouth
If I don't find out...

You don't want to know, oh, but you've got to find out


4.Blood Guts Bruises Cuts

Blood, guts, bruises, cuts
Blood, guts, bruises, cuts
Blood, guts, bruises, cuts
Blood, guts, bruises, cuts


5.Honest Mistake

It's an honest mistake to let a young heart break,
And the promise you make can be taken home, or taken away
When love is sold and bought at less than cost these days
I've found the perfect replacement for love just in case she
eludes me in life
I'm alive and oh, that's a miracle
And they say we're born in lust, love's just a dream to us

And my heart is a slayer of doubts, a purveyor of keeping you
out
An obeyer of no one and nothing at all
There ain't no way we're going to stop today
That's how we operate

*The world can destroy herself, she won't employ my help
We're our own children and we won't be blamed for none of it

('Oh man, you effed up big time.' 'what? we kind of just fell
off.' 'teresa is gonna kill you.')

Not my fault

You make an honest mistake, they never let you forget it
Your cut of the take was a loss, she did but you didn't regret
it
Cause they say we come from dust, look what's become of us
We're gonna give 'em our worst if they hurt us on purpose
When loves in decline, it's a crime but oh, we're criminals
And there ain't no day gonna stop the way that we operate

*The world can destroy herself, she won't employ my help
We're our own children and we won't be blamed for none of it


6.Ghosts We're Buried On

Granddad had a 6 string he played bad, but didn't he sing with
all the soul he had
Late night summer time backyard granddad swoons
Some off key willie and johnny out of tune
I learned quick what a mess a song can fix
When life was shit, we hummed along to it
And our problems went (wing, bang bang, ring dang dang) gone
That's how we got along

Oh I, got my soul from the ghosts that we're buried on
I get my love from the cemetery i got my soul from the ghosts
we're buried on

22 carlton up on high street, you could come find me
Living with my uncles and my teenaged mother,
Grandma and my cousin and a couple others
With my 2nd hand shirt, iI walked in 2nd hand shoes
And in a second i'll put on another record, let me choose for ya
How about the blues brothers? I cannot turn you loose?

I learned fast that a mess would never last
Longer than it taked to hum, it passed
And our problems went (wing, bang bang, ring dang dang) gone
That's how we got along

Oh I, got my soul from the ghosts that we're buried on
I get my love from the cemetery I got my soul from the ghosts
we're buried on
I got your soul granddad when you carried on,
I kept the load on the road that you tarried on
I got my soul from the ghosts that we're buried on

Soul.


7.Pretty Lies

I know that love isn't all that we need, but yes she is a fine
thing.
I'm not as handsome a lover as others, but somehow she finds me.
My heart is pulsing and bloody, and beats for nobody
specifically.
Your love is muddy and jaded, been played in fifty ways, deliver
me...
Tell me your pretty lies. (I can tell you mine, I can tell you
mine, I can tell you lines)
Tell me your pretty lies. (tell me what I want, what I really
want,
What I want to hear)

It could be white like the snow is, or dark like i know is a
lover's heart
Whats been made a fool of, but ain't it the fool that gets all
of the lover's parts?
It's gettting hard to remember the lies from december, you
promised then
We needed lovin' so badly, we pretended that we had it when...
You told me those pretty lies (i can tell you mine, i can tell
you
Mine, i can tell you lines)
Tell me your pretty lies (tell me what i want, what i really
want)

Wide awake, a long time coming. we lie and wait, a long time
coming
We're wide awake, a long time coming. we lie and wait, a long
time coming
We're wide awake, a long time coming, we lie and wait a long
time coming
It's been a long time coming...

Whoever believes that lovin' is free hasn't ever slept with me.
The birds and bees are our disease, contracted collectively.
And we're reborn in the morning with no or little warning, lover
please
Don't fall in love with me,
But if you think you might, it's alright, i wouldn't mind.
I heard this story from a couple friends of mine,
That you believe yourself, the very lies you tell
But don't i love it when you're spinning them, i start in
grinning when
I see you look up to the left, tell me you want me like the
oxygen in every breath
Say that I'm needed like the landlord on the 30th,
I don't believe you, but its still nice. your eyes tell mine...
Such pretty lies. tell me your pretty lies (i can tell you mine,
i can
Tell you mine, I can tell you lines) flash me those pretty eyes
(tell
Me what I want, what I really want, what I want to hear)
Your lies, lies, lies, lies, lies.


8.Terrified

I'm terrrified no one will want to be mine
We're paralyzed, we're going no where, well thats life
When I'm this alone, I know it's time to carry on before too
long.

Well, I've been lonesome long enough baby
I've been bored enough for both of us
And now I'm feeling what it cost lately
I know exactly what 've lost lady
So I'm going back to how it was because, because...

I like you, I guess you know that.
I suppose you could like me too
Just like I want you

If it hurts when you bleed, if you need
You can terrify me (just like I want you)

I'm searching for whatever it was I had before
I lose anymore


9.Mr. Someone Else

Am I the only one that's lonely
I like your girl but she don't know me
And I think she's right for someone else
Let me introduce myself, I'm someone else, Mr. Someone Else
Last night I had an awesome dream
The world put an end to war
And I'm making out with your sweet thing
While millions roar, from coast to shore
That love is still worth fighting for

Your girl is better than my girl,
She gives you lovin' that I bet
Is better than the lovin' that I get
Man, I want your girl
Your lady is finer than is mine
She gives you lovin' I suppose
Is better than the lovin' that i've known
I want your girl, she's better than my girl

Young lady don't you turn away
C'mon let me hear your lovers talk
Yes I know that you belong to him
But me and you could still sneak out
To tear one off, we could tear one off
Don't tell me you're in love
And there's no room for other guys
Don't think it's indestructible
Love can die, i've seen it die
And born again like fifty times, man

Your girl is better than my girl,
She gives you lovin' that i bet
Is better than the lovin' that i get
Man, I want your girl
Your lady is finer than is mine
She gives you lovin' that it seems
Is better than the lovin' in my dreams
Oh I want your girl

Let's agree that I'm not evil
Your girl is that unreal
And soon I'll tell her how I feel
She's a bush of burning roses
She calls to me like moses
Commands my heart in (10) heavy doses
Let's agree that I'm not evil
Your girl is that unreal
And soon I'll tell her how i feel


10.Turning All Red

Midnight, she nearly knocks my window off, I'm like
'Come on in!' right?
Cause she looks nice,
She's got her 10 speed parked underneath my street lights
I'm turning all red, right
I'm turning all red, right?

She don't call you, you get called on
But you're gonna take that love before it's all gone
It just seems wrong
Well, maybe it ain't right
But you should have seen her man underneath my street lights
She had me turning al red, right
Turning all red, right?

Sweat all over me tonight, i might fall in love again
(I see) the warning flashes but i find
There's no time time for common sense
When she crawls in my bed
She's got me turning all red, right
Turning all red, right?

Kiss me carly, I won't fight
I know you're no good for me
But sweat all over me tonight
And I'll abandon decency
When you crawl in my bed
You'll have me turning all red

So tell the girls on the corner that the boys done suffering
If this ain't love, man it's close enough
The real thing's just to dangerous
And the lover that she really wanted doesn't really want her
again
Well ain't you Mr. Next Best Thing
But it don't mean nothin'
Ain't nobody here turn down good lovin'
We're gonna take what we get and just sit on better days


11.Small Mercies

Ain't no one in this world got love for me
Save for barbers thieves and bartenders
And 2 girls on 7th street
So cut my hair, relieve me of my things
Drive me down the road, 2 girls i know
Are bound to get me drinks

Life, she saves some small mercies for me
Oh life, she save some small mercy please

I've roamed this world just long enough to see
That there's more in life than these eyes know
That most remain unseen
So I've mapped it out with hearts and charts and dreams
Before we leave home for parts unknown
Let's roll down 7th street

Life, she saves some small mercies for me
Oh life, she save some small mercy please


12.Connected

I get up early, test my body with
My girl if she feels up to it
And I feel connected
I'm a piece of a part of something else

I watch movies on the tv that
I already own on VHS
And I feel connected
It's like i'm watching you and you're watching me

I stay up late and drink my face off with
My boys if they feel up to it
And I feel connected, i'll pass out by myself
You pass out somewhere else

(When we play a rock show) we pack three rows
Turn on the reciever, we sold out an 80 seater again
Now I feel connected, i'm just a boy from your block
Let me walk you home

I've felt low at the side of the road
Broke in winnipeg, nobody comes to our shows
I've been alive man 2005, Victoria
I get a lot of high fives
I'm getting old but I'm reasy to go for another round
Who's going to stop me now
'Cause you don't know what I know

I never had lovin' never seen lovin' so I never need nothin'
'Til i had love, what I thought it was
Oh it didn't mean nothin' (it didn't mean nothin')


13.Ever Been To Taiwan

My boys all clap when the bass drum blasts
We're gonna tie one on again
The snare kick hats gonna bring the summertime back, love
Didn't we do it then?

Oh, we're gonna tie one on again

We'd better call chris, chris is gonna get you on the list
We're gonna rock for free tonight
The bands are hit and miss but we're gonna get pissed
No matter who it is
The soundman sweats, if the P.A.'s wrecked
There'll be hell to pay tonight
But the P.A.'s fine (we turn it up louder) the P.A.'s fine

Oh

I'm gonna drink a street beer on the way to meet my honey
We're gonna ball tonight, ain't gonna spend no money
Cause the front man, baby, from the first band is dressed like
stephen tyler
We're gonna drink their rider
The home town's proud and this tiny crowd says the night's not
over yet
So we turn it up louder (we turn it up louder) we're gonna turn
it up louder

Something happens whenever you call my name, call it out again
There's something happening, how do i make it plain? let my
lovin' in
It's not my choice honey when i hear your voice
I've got to run to it, i've got to come for your loving
I'm still recovering, nothing has been the same
C'mon say my name again

I just want to party, get drunk tonight with you
I want to get loaded, and watch the shit you do
Lover wear your white dress, cover me in kisses
Someone get a waitress to help my Mrs.
This is just started, someone sing a broken hearted tune
I want to dance with you


14.Girl Police

The girl police are coming over, comb your hair pretend you're
sober
Andy, lock the stash in the bottom drawer.
The woman fuzz are coming for us, they're hardened by drawn out
divorces
Averse to our verses, deplore the chorus.

Ooh hoo, they surround our places... arrested by our handsome
faces
The cold, long arm of the law has got ruby glitter painted
claws.

The lady cops are coming for me, let's Jovi out in a blaze of
glory
Tell my ma i'm sorry, that's my story.
It was our antic romantic disasters, that got the girl cops lord
in after us
To drag our names through the mud, to get their hands in our
blood.

Ooh hoo, they want to hole us up in their lockdown... a year for
every precious heart We've
Knocked down. less a day for every night we rocked out. (and we
always rocked out)

Cause stephy likes jimmy, but jimmy likes eric and eric likes
jess.
It's an awful mess an awful mess.
Denis caught monique kissing on francois outside the depaneur,
So they're done for sure...
