Fun Lovin Criminals Mimosa[Lounge Album] Lyrics
1.Bombin' The L

Bombin' the l (12x)
Lord, i can't change (2x)

I usta more ya yo than phizer pharmaceuticals
Paid my way through college, and still had residuals
Moved more wait than arnold on steriods
Shot more punks than rocks in asteroids
Caught more heat than aruba in august
Never spilled the beans when the cops finally caught us
All my liquid assets are flowing like a stream
And my fingers are faster than yngwie malmstein

Everybody round me making money
I see everybody round me making money
Why can't i?

Lord, i can't change (4x)

I get my macaroni salad from dean and deluca
And i top my red death with the white zambuca
Stick up kid yeah, without no errors
I'm smashing twelve hundreds on
Sucker rhyme sayers
Like hendrix i freak you, like tito i treat you
Bombin' tha 'l' i see you
You freak, you coochie frito ! there's something about a train!

Lord, i can't change (8x)
Bombin' the l (14x)
Lord, i can't change (11x)


2.Coney Island Girl

Coney island girl.
I know this ain't no time to be talking.
Yo baby, i'll understand it if you keep on walking.
It's not like i liked you anyway,
It's the way that you swag it and sway.
Reminds me of a girl i used to know back in the bay.

Coney island girl.
Now come here and don't get mad.
I gave her all i thought i had.
I must live my life alone and never kiss anyone else on the
cyclone.
As crazy as it seems.
I'm having recurring dreams.
You are not there, but she is.
So now split.
Coney island girl. (4x)


3.Couldn't Get It Right

Time is driftin', this rock has got to roll,
So i hit the road and made my getaway.
Restless feeling, i really gotta hold,
I started searching for a better way.

Chorus:
And i kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night,
But i couldn't see the light, no i couldn't see the light.
I kept on lookin' for a way to take me through the night,
But i couldn't get it right, no i couldn't get it right.

La fever, made me feel alright,
But i must admit it got the best of me.
Gettin' down, so deep i nearly drowned,
I can't get back to where i used to be.

Chorus

New york city, took me with the tide,
I nearly died from hospitality,
Left me stranded, and took away my pride,
Just another know it?? of fatality.

Chorus (repeat to fade)

4.Crazy Train

crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not to late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you have the role

Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeh-h heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles i'm mentally numb
Crazy, i just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair

Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train


5.I'll Be Seeing You

And i'll be seeing you, in all the old, familiar places,
That this heart of mine embraces, all day through,
And in that small cafe, the park along the way,
The children's carousel, the chestnut trees and the wishing
well,

And i'll be seeing you, in every love me summer's day,
In everything that's light and gay, i'll always think of you
that way,
And i'll find you, in the morning sun, and when the night is
young,
I'll be looking at the moon, but i'll be seeing you.

(followed by up on the hill instrumental)


6.I'm Not In Love

I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just some silly phase that i'm going through.
And just because, i call you up
Hey, don't get me wrong, don't think that you got it made.
I'm not in love, no, no.
Oh, it's just because.

I'd like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean, you mean that much to me.
So if i call you, don't make no fuss,
Don't tell your friends 'bout the two of us.
I'm not in love, no, no.
Oh, it's just because.

I keep your picture, up on my wall.
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there.
So don't you ask me to give it back,
You know it doesn't mean that much to me.
I'm not in love, no, no.
Oh, it's just because.

Ooooh, you wait a long time for me x2
What's the matter? big boys don't cry!
Ooooh, you wait a long time for me x2
What's the matter? big boys don't cry!

I'm not in love, so just forget it.
It's just a silly phase that i'm goin' through.
And just because, i call you up,
Don't get me wrong, don't think that you got it made.

I'm not in love x5
I'm not in love.


7.I Can't Get With That

They try to move us; to use us
Like judas did jesus; to please us
Diverting the issues to misuse the peoples
How are we gonna get 'em?
How are we gonna vote them out?
When the wingtips got it locked up
With one thing you don't know.
Ya dig it? the freaking wingtips did it.
But some of us are wise and some of us are suckers. . .
And we all bleed red even racist motherfuckers.

And i can't get with that.
No i can't get with that (2x)

I said: no, i can't get with that
No i can't get with that (2x)
(3x)

I see the hoes and the hustlers
Be piled up in clusters
Since they upped the anti, and hooked up giuliani
And the black kill the black and
Latino kill latino; man it's evil. . .
The same damn story and a sequel
I thought i fought for what was right,
But in the end, my friend, 20-20 is hindsight.
I think i caught you out there
Chillin in the bahamas.
I take you to miami to meet the dalai lama.

And i can't get with that.
No i can't get with that (2x)

I said: no, i can't get with that
No i can't get with that (2x)
(5x)


8.Scooby Snacks

- everybody be cool, this is a robbery!
- any of you fucking pricks move, and i'll execute every
motherfucking last one of you!

Me and fast got the gats; we're out to rob a bank.
We got steve outside carrying a full pack.
Now everything's cool and everything's smooth. (hey that's
smooth)
I walked up to the teller, i gave her the letter
She gave me the loot with puckered up lips
And a wink that i found cute, and i said,
'baby, baby, baby'
(is this some kharmic-chi love thing happening here baby or
what.)
By that time fast tapped me with the 9
He said it was time to blow, ya know. so out the door we go.
Back to the ride with steve inside and alive; off we drive
I hurt my lower lumbar, you know we'll
Never get far, riding around in a stolen
Police car, so we dropped it off and
Piled in a caddy; steve was driving
Because i had to talk to my man about something.

- look, i don't know anything about any fucking set-up, you can
torture me all you want.
- torture you, that's good, that's a good idea, i like that one.

Running around robbing banks
All wacked off of scooby snacks! (2x)

I don't give a fuck about the hell's
Gate, ain't punkin' the crowd and i'm still
Standing up staight.
So, we pull these jobs to make a little money;
No one gets hurt if they don't act funny.
On the way to the yacht, we almost got caught,
Fast is shooting mailboxes, not knowing
Where the cop is.
They're at the dunkin donuts, adjacent from
The froman's whose mailbox fast had just
Exploded. they gave chase, but my man
Steve is an ace; we lost those brothers
With haste. we cast off and along we went
Off bermuda to an island resort we rented.

- sonny, i need you cool, are you cool?
- i am cool.

Running around robbing banks
All wacked off of scooby snacks! (4x)


9.Shining Star

Chorus:
Honey you, are my shining star, and don't you go away,
I wanna be, right here where you are, until my dying day

So many have tried, tried to find,
A love like yours an mine, yeah baby,
Girl don't you relaise that your hypnotised,
It makes me love you more and more each time, yeah baby.

Bridge
Honey i'm never gonna leave you lonely,
I'm giving my love to you one and only, one and only.

Chorus

It feels so good, lying here next to you,
Lost in love, yeah baby,
Cos baby when we touch, i love you so much,
You're everything i've ever dreamed of, yeah baby.

Bridge
Chorus x2


10.The Summer Wind

The summerwind, came blowing in, from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair, and walk with me
All summer long, you sing a song, and we stole that golden sand,
Two sweethearts, and the summerwind.

Like painted kites, those days and nights, they went flying by,
The world was new, beneath the blue, umbrella sky,
?one soft event?, a pappa man, one day it called to you,
I lost you, i lost you to the summerwind.

Young wind, and the well aware, they have come and gone,
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on and on,
And guess who sized, his lullabies, through nights that never
end,
My fickle friend,

The summerwind, on the summerwind (repeat to fade)


11.We Have All The Time In The World

We have all the time in the world.
Time enough for life to unfold all the precious things life has
in store.
And we got all the love in the world.
And as time goes by you will find we need nothing more.

And every step of the way we'll find us
With the kiss of the world behind us.
And we got all the time in the world for love.
Nothing more, nothing less, only love.
(2x)

Only love, yeah baby.
