Smashes & Trashes

Skunk Anansie Smashes & Trashes Lyrics
1.Charlie Big Potato

I awake
From blood thick dreams
Washing blame
From my knees

Softly done
So secretly
I'm awake
As Charlie sleeps

A lone brother
A lone sister
A home cover
Alone

I awake
Dry the scream
Spit the vile breath
'Till my tongue bleeds

Thinks it's all gone
Famously
Broke the hard girl
Good to please

A lone brother
A lone sister
A home cover
Alone

Tell it like it is
Tell it like it is
Tell the sordid truth
Tell them

Tell it like it is
Tell them

A lone brother
A lone sister
A home cover
Alone, alone
Alone, alone, yeah.


2.I Can Dream

I'll be your sailor girl
I'll tip my cap to your parade
Life won't be dreary no
I'll be the waves inside your bed

Pain is your beauty
It hurts the vision in your eyes
Your eyes are smiling now
They watch me cry, they watch me die, watch me die

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else
My saviour, my darling

Your eyes seep through me
You think you hate the way I mince
I'm screwing yours dreams now
So cynical at your expense

Oh what a sacrafice
All of my dreams will melt away
So who's so special now
No one's more special, more than me, more than me

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
I can dream, I can dream
I can love, I can love

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love - whoa - love someone else

My darling, my saviour
My darling, my saviour


3.Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)

I hope you're feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all it seems
I wonder what you're doin' now
I wonder if you think of me at all

Do you still play the same moves now
Or are those special moods for someone else
I hope you're feeling happy now

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight

Does laughter still discover you
I see through all the smiles that look so right
Do you still have the same friends now
To smoke away your problems and your life

Oh how do you remeber
Me the one that made
you laugh until you cried
I hope yo're feeling happy now

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight

I wonder what you're donig now
I hope you're feeling happy now
I hope you're feeling happy now

5.Weak

Lost in time I can't count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts so unkind
'cos I wanted you

And now I sit here I'm all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels, deep in war
'cos I wanted you

Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no ones fool
Weak as I am

So what am I now I'm love last home
I'm all of the soft words I once owned
If I opened my he heart, there'd be no space for air
'cos I wanted you

Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no ones fool
Weak as I am

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you

Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am
Weak as I am, am, am

Weak as I am
Am I to much for you
Weak as I am
Am I to much for you
Weak as I am
Am I to much for you
Weak as I am


6.Secretly

I've been biding my time
Been so subtly kind
I've got to think so selfishly
'Cos you're the face inside of me

I've been biding my days
You see
Evidently it pays
I've been a friend with unbiased views
Then secretly lust after you

So now you feel rusty you're bored and bemused
You wanna do someone else
So you should be by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly

Trying hard to think pure
Bloody hard when i'm raw
You're talking out so sexually
About boys and girls
And your friggin' dreams

So now you feel lusty you're hot and confused
You wanna do someone else
So you should be by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly

So now you've been busted
You're caught feeling used
You had to do, someone else
You should have been by yourself

You had to do, someone else
You should have been by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly, secretly.


7.Because Of You

Because of you
the tears dead in my eyes
they freeze until I'm blind
the eyes a gift from you

Because of you
the scratches on my face
will never be erased
by someone else's warmth

Because of you
the boys will always say
the bitch is back again
so none of you are safe

Because of you
the winter feeds my heart
while summer blows and burns
my disappearing youth

My love is gone
Never feel again
Because of love
I feel nothing

Because of love
I feel nothing

Because of you
I'll never bleed again
the agony of pain
will never bruise or start

Because of you
our passion tends to lead
with all my lovers fate
with pieces from my heart

My love is done
Never feel again
Because of love
I feel nothing

Because of love
I feel nothing

Because of you
Because of you
Because of love
I feel nothing
Because of love
I feel nothing


8.All I Want

All I want is a mirror
So I can see this so called brighter day
I'm watching all the world crawl back again
Watching how it blows itself away

That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want

All I want is destruction
Wanna see it crumble beneath my toes
Smell the way my sore eyes burn away
That's all I can have today

That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want

All you want is to be me
So you can screw me up and don't give a damn
('Cos I'm a) crazy
Little daisy to vile to breathe
I'm everything you want today

That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want

That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want


9.Brazen

I called you brazen
Called you whore right to your face
And watched you silently
And publicly disgraced
I didn't notice
When you strengthened like a vice
That you were trembling
And burned beneath the ice

Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside

Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside

You said a prayer
And I betrayed you with a kiss
I never realized that all
Had come to this
So keep your dignity
Don't throw it all to waste
Stronger feelings
Than you've ever learned to face

Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside

Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside

Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside

Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside


10.Twisted

I cried on my blood day
There was nothing that I could hold on to
Just a line could have helped
Remind me of you, of you

I screamed till the blood came
I was living in a cloud of hope
Lover's kiss then they make a wish
To the end, they pretend

Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong

Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts

I cried in the sunlight
Would I fake all the times I loved you
Just to play in a game of twisted with you
With you

I need to believe you
Sacrificed all the lies we made up
How we kissed then we made our wish
to the end, to the end

Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong

Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts

Time made me confide in you
So contrived were the words you sold me
Now nothing can swallow
The feeling so shallow inside

Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong

Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts


11.Squander

Why take everything you see?
You have nothing left to squander
If you keep pushing me away
You have no one left to love

You throw it all away
those ties you went and suffered for
you cause disaster
and flouder flouder flouder flouder

Why take everything you see?
You have nothing left to squander
If you keep pushing me away
You have no one left to do love

your less than you should be
why run so hard to finish last
you caused contendement
and I wonder wonder wonder wonder

Why take everything you see?
You have nothing left to squander
If you keep pushing me away
You have no one left to looooove, looooove
Why squander squander squander squander

Why take everything you see?
You have nothing left to squander
If you keep pushing me away
You'll have no one left to, no one left to love


12.Lately

Sometimes all the moments
That we savoured for the last
Get crushed between the good and bad
From pressures we have had

But you know I can't conceive the day
When feelings run too high
To work out all the stale terrain
Emotions try to hide

When I try
Lately I can't seem to
Colour what we've lost
It all seems like bad means
When lovers turn from lust
Then I try
Try to smoke alone

These shattered ties no compromise
Fall through the fragile hell
You see the drinks stay sipped
'Cos we've lost our grip
Too exhausted to rebel

I try
Lately I can't seem to
Colour what we've lost
It all seems like bad means
When lovers turn from lust
Then I try

Then I try

Lately I can't seem to
Colour what we've lost
It all seems like bad means
When lovers turn from lust

Lately I can't seem to
Colour what we've lost
It all seems like bad means
When lovers when lovers turn from lust
Then I try
Try to smoke alone


13.Selling Jesus

You kill me with your smelly fingers
Your smelly fingers from the sex you had on Christmas Day
And now you say you're feeling guilty
You're feeling guilty 'cos your god was shining on your face

You go to church and light a candle
And then you're blinded by the light from the golden pews
The devil's snapping at your toes now
Because the angels can't be bothered to live to you

They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes
They're selling jesus again
Selling love to you - selling love

You're buying this you're buying that now
You're wishing all the money in the world belonged to you
You're crucified upon you're own cross now
You're givin' money to the white men in the white limo

That kind of god is always man-made
They made him up then wrote a book to keep you on your kness
They get their theories from the same place
Then build a church if there's some money left from lying on the
beach

They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes
They're selling jesus again
Selling love to you - selling love

They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes
They're selling jesus again
They're selling jesus again
They want your soul and your money your blood and your votes
They're selling jesus again
Selling love to you - selling love


14.Charity

Why do I sense, benevolence
You stand tall at my great expense
Thick words of gratitude, what a price to pay
Stuck in my throat, I sell every word I say

But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...

Why does your world keep burying
Gorging much deeper, than it's ever been
Rubbing still harder, salt on my hurt
Licking my burns while I grovel in your dirt

But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...

You pity me with your tasteless gestures
Gratitude for kind
But your bludgeoned, intentioned objectives
Are screwing with my mind, screwing with my mind

But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...

But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...

But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...


15.You'll Follow Me Down

Survived tonight
I may be going down
'Cos everything goes round too
Tight, tonight
And as you watch me crawl
You stand for more

And your panic stricken
Blood will thicken up tonight
'Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down

Survive tonight
I see your head's exposed
So we shall kill
Constructive might
It's so right as your emotions fool you
My strong will rule

And your panic stricken
Blood will thicken up tonight
'Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down

I won't feel restraint
Watching you close sense down
I can't compensate
That's more than I've got to give

And your panic stricken
Blood will thicken up tonight
'Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down

'Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
