Kids In Glass Houses Dirt Lyrics
1.Artbreaker I

This is not the way we planned it
This is just the way it's going down
The greedy kiss, the empty handed

And I can see the vultures landing
The value of the dollar to the noun
Forever underestimated

I love the way you call it art
When you never even use your heart
And I just wanna tear you apart

I love the way you call it art
When you never even use your heart
And I just wanna tear you apart

The needle finds the vinyl vien
And the silence deafens everyone around
Raise a glass of punk champagne

This is not the way we planned it
Glad to say her bad ship's going down
So party like you understand it

I love the way you call it art
When you never even use your heart
And I just wanna tear you apart

I love the way you call it art
When you never even use your heart
And I just wanna tear you apart

This is not the way we came to play around.
This is not the way we came to play around.


2.The Best Is Yet To Come

It started with the sun in your eyes
The devil in your throat and in your thighs
A pocket full of notes
A head of lies is no good for you

Wrestle with the questions in your head
Fumble with the stranger in your bed
Condemn it to the great abyss instead
Whatever suits you

Cause in the dark we do our worst
Turn the lights out, turn the lights out
You'll be my last, I'll be your first
Turn the lights out, baby turn the lights out

Lay down slowly
Don't you fool me
Cause I don't wanna be along tonight
The best is yet to come

It finished with the stars in your eyes
Jesus on your breath and in your bite
Listen to the pleading and the cries
Make a chorus of you

Wrestle with the questions in your head
They interrupt your sleep and fill your bed
Fuck yourself into the record books instead
It's what you were born to do

Cause in the dark we do our worst
Turn the lights out, turn the lights out
You'll be my last, I'll be your first
Turn the lights out, baby turn the lights out

Lay down slowly
Don't you fool me
Cause I don't wanna be along tonight
The best is yet to come

Come now baby
Don't be hasty
Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
The best is yet to come

The promises, the promises we made
Another great, another great mistake
A little love, a little bit more hate
It's just about as much as I can take

The promises, the promises we made
Another great, another great mistake
A little love, a little bit more hate
It's just about as much as I can take

The promises, the promises we made
Another great, another great mistake
A little love, a little bit more hate
It's just about as much as I can take

Lay down slowly
Don't you fool me
Cause I don't wanna be along tonight
The best is yet to come

Come now baby
Don't be hasty
Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
The best is yet to come


3.Sunshine

Talk to me
Cause I need an answer, I need an answer
Carry me
Cause I need an answer, I need an answer
Torture me
Forever wrong and on and on
Cause I know what you ought to know

Stop wishing for the sunshine
Start living in the rain
Stop telling me we'll be fine
Start living with the pain
Stop wishing for the sunshine
Start living in the rain
Stop telling me we'll be fine
Start living with the pain

Talk at me
This is a problem, this is a problem
You and me
We never solve them, we never solve them
Honestly
Can't soldier on like nothing's wrong
These secrets they won't keep for long

Stop wishing for the sunshine
Start living in the rain
Stop telling me we'll be fine
Start living with the pain
Stop wishing for the sunshine
Start living in the rain
Stop telling me we'll be fine
Start living with the pain

Long live me cause I'll be fine without you
Long live me cause I'll be fine without you

Stop wishing for the sunshine
Start living in the rain
Stop telling me we'll be fine
Start living with the pain
Stop wishing for the sunshine
Start living in the rain
Stop telling me we'll be fine
Start living with the pain

Long live me cause I'll be fine without you
Long live me cause I'll be fine without you
Long live me cause I'll be fine without you
Long live me cause I'll be fine without you


4.Matters At All

Is it so hard to remember,
When we go back to September,
We were, we were like.
You're a throwback to forever,
In your denim jeans and leather,
Yes you, yeah we were like.

All these things that you like to leave behind,
All these things that you like to leave behind.

And if it matters at all,
If it matters at all,
You'll wait until your first time,
You'll wait until there's something wrong.
Cos you'll always be the one who says,
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight.

I'm watching, I'm choking,
As you took a draw back on a cinder,
Hanging limp between your fingers,
We were, yeah we were like.
As you passed out as a heart throb,
When you woke up in a day job,
We were, yeah we were like,
We were like.

All these things that you like to leave behind,
All these things that you like to leave behind.

And if it matters at all,
If it matters at all,
You'll wait until your first time,
You'll wait until there's something wrong.
Cos you'll always be the one who says,
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight.

And if it matters at all,
If it matters at all,
You'll wait until your first time,
You'll wait until there's something wrong.
If it matters at all,
If it matters at all,
You'll wait until the first time,
You'll wait until there's something wrong.
Cos you'll always be the one who says,
Goodnight, Goodnight, Goodnight


5.Youngblood (Let It Out)

A young boy
Chasing his prayers
Upstairs
A white lie
A red light
And her thighs
On his mind

Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it out
Let it out
Let it

Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it out
Let it out
Let it

A young girl
Whispers her prayers
Laid bare
At midnight
An invite
It's pitch black
And bride white

Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it out
Let it out
Let it

Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it out
Let it out

Take me somewhere new
Take me somewhere new
And the shoes you've grown into
Will soon start wearing you

Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it out
Let it out
Let it

Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it
Hey! Gotta let it out
Let it out
Let it

Young boys
Young girls
Upstairs
Somewhere


6.Lilli Rose

So, Lilli Rose eat your heart out
Dirty jeans, dirtier mouth
Lilli Rose eat your heart out
At the speed of light

7.Giving Up

You lie in the grief
You lie in the depression
You lied in your confession
You knew me better than this

You lie by my side with your hand on a weapon
Waiting for a confession
You knew me better than this

We come from different towns
And recognise the sound of giving up
We come from different towns
And recognise the sound of

We're giving up, we're giving up
But I won't breathe another word about you
We're giving up, we're giving up
And I won't sleep without you

You lie to yourself at your own intervention
And you're too scared to mention
That you're better than this

And you lie by my side with your head on a weapon
And your eyes on the tension
You knew me better than this

We come from different towns
And recognise the sound of giving up
We come from different towns
And recognise the sound

We're giving up, we're giving up
But I won't breathe another word about you
We're giving up, we're giving up
And I won't sleep without you

We're giving up, we're giving up
But I won't breathe another word about you
We're giving up, we're giving up
When I can't get enough

We're giving up, we're giving up
But I won't breathe another word about you
We're giving up, we're giving up
And I can't breathe without you

We're giving up, we're giving up
And I won't breathe
We're giving up, we're giving up
When I can't get enough


8.For Better Or Hearse

I wake up with my shoes on
And my whole life thrown around the room
And I swear like a sailor
As I choke on smoke and cheap perfume
I've been here, I've been here before
And I know you've been right, you've been right

This is a warning
You're never gonna get
Never gonna get me out this town
Let's start the mourning
Never gonna see, never gonna see another day
Never see another day

Cause I'm tired and I'm restless
And I'm pretty sure I met my match
And I lie here defenceless
I'm the Sunday hunters weekend war
And I've been here, I've been here before
And I know I've been right, I've been right

This is a warning
You're never gonna get
Never gonna get me out this town
Let's start the mourning
Never gonna see, never gonna see another day
Never see another day

Never gonna get, never gonna get what's coming to you

This is a warning
You're never gonna get
Never gonna get me out this town
Let's start the mourning
Never gonna see, never gonna see another day

This is a warning
You're never gonna get
Never gonna get me out this town
Let's start the mourning
Never gonna see, never gonna see another day
Never see another day


9.Undercover Lower

I've tried to hard to tell you
All these things i've heard about you
In your stars
They tear you apart

I've lied so hard to fool you
All these things come back to haunt you
In the dark
They tear you apart

I've had a good day doing things the wrong way
I've had a good day doing things the wrong way
I've had a good day doing things the wrong way

You're my undercover lover
You get your kicks for free
And you won't ever find another
Who's even half as good as me
You're my undercover lover
You get your kicks for free
Now get away cause this is killing me

They heat under your collar
A waistband made of dollars
Chills your heart
It's somewhere to start

You save to be a scholar
And you read your books in squalor
In the dark
We walk in the park

I've had a good day doing things the wrong way
I've had a good day doing things the wrong way
I've had a good day doing things the wrong way

You're my undercover lover
You get your kicks for free
And you won't ever find another
Who's even half as good as me
You're my undercover lover
You get your kicks for free
Now get away

Just forget about it ...

You're my undercover lover
You get your kicks for free
And you won't ever find another
Who's even half as good as me

You're my undercover lover
You get your kicks for free
Now get away
Oh this is killing me

You're my undercover lover
You get your kicks for free
And you won't ever find another
Who's even half as good as me


10.Maybe Tomorrow

Get up early, you're still late
And still coming down from yesterday
I've seen enough to see this far
And I wanna fail you all

Soldiered on into the day
Wipe your nose the night still prays
Upon your skin and crawls
I'll be the prick you call

I've got answers no-one else will give
I live the lives no-one will live
I've seen it all
I've heard it all

Maybe tomorrow brings a song
And we'll all sing along
Maybe tomorrow brings a song
And we'll all sing along
We'll all sing along

Find a cause to celebrate
Get your shoes no time to waste
(The world won't wait) Don't hesitate
I'll meet you by the golden gate

I've got answers no-one else will give
I live the lives no-one will live
I've seen it all
I've heard it all

Maybe tomorrow brings a song
And we'll all sing along
Maybe tomorrow brings a song
And we'll all sing along
We'll all sing along

Maybe tomorrow
We all sing along
Maybe tomorrow
We all sing along
Maybe tomorrow brings a song
And we'll all sing along

Maybe tomorrow brings a song
And we'll all sing along
Maybe tomorrow
We all sing along
Maybe tomorrow
We all sing along


11.The Morning Afterlife

Give me one good reason why I should trust
Or see the good in both of us
When we came with love and left with lust
When we came with lies we've learnt to trust
Give me good reason to believe
In all I do and all I see, in all I see

We slip into something more comfortable
They like you best when you are vulnerable

Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night

Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night

Give me one good reason why I should trust
In all these things that turn to dust
When we beg we get down on our knees
When we're full we want to be empty
You loved the chase 'til it slowed down
You loved the hunt 'til it hit town
'Til it hit town

Slip into something invincible

Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night

Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night

Who do you trust when all I know
Is just at home in all the wars?
I've been somewhere, I've been somewhere
Who do you turn to when the best of everyone
You knew has turned on you?
I've been somwhere, I've been somewhere

Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night

Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night

Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night

Just when you thought the world was yours
When you thougth you had it all
Just when you thought you'd done enough to
Get you through the night, the night


12.Hunt The Haunted

She can taste the sorrow
And she can't get enough
But shes too scared to swallow
Cause she might fall in love
So we look to tomorrow
And we know that these kids will follow
Where we go and these steps are hollow

She's gonna haunt your home
And break your bones
She's never gonna leave your soul alone
Because the things you've got will leave you
All on your own

She's gonna haunt your home
And break your bones
Because the things you've got will leave you
All on your own

And if he's yesterday's model
Then today we've seen enough
Then he'll seduce the bottle
He thinks this could be love
And we look to tomorrow
And we know that these kids will follow
Where we go and these steps are hollow

She's gonna haunt your home
And break your bones
She's never gonna leave your soul alone
Because the things you've got will leave you
All on your own

She's gonna haunt your home
And break your bones
Because the things you've got will leave you
All on your own

When my body is cold decorate me in gold
A wake's a party - have a good time
When my body is cold decorate me in gold
A wake's a party - have a good time
When my body is cold decorate me in gold
A wake's a party - have a good time
When my body is cold decorate me in gold
A wake's a party - have a good time

She's gonna haunt your home
And break your bones
She's never gonna leave your soul alone
Because the things you've got will leave you
All on your own

She's gonna haunt your home
And break your bones
Because the things you've got will leave you
All on your own


13.Artbreaker II

I love the way you call it art
When you never even use your heart
And I just wanna tear you apart
I love the way you call it art
When you never even use your heart
And I just wanna tear you apart

When I keep singing
When I keep singing
When I keep singing

I love the way you call it art
When you never even use your heart
And I just wanna tear you apart
I love the way you call it art
When you never even use your heart
And I just wanna tear you apart

This is not the way we came to play around
This is not the way we came to play around
