Violent Things

The Brobecks Violent Things Lyrics
1.If You Like It Or Not

Everybody knows,
And I've said it before,
She takes off her clothes
Shakes me like I'm not shaken before.

Oh my girl, oh my girl
Just give me a chance
I don't want to explain
I just want to dance
On the graves, on the graves
Of every girl
That I knew before you
That are dead to me too

Try to shut your eyes
And this won't hurt one bit
I can not tell a lie
You just might even like me to quit

You always get everything that you want
I can't explain so I'll flaunt what you got
I'm yours and you're mine
If you like it or not
oh oh I know oh oh hey

Oh my girl, oh my girl
Just give me a chance
I don't want to explain
I just want to dance
On the graves, on the graves
Of every girl
That I knew before you
That are dead to me too

You always get everything that you want
I can't explain so I'll flaunt what you got
I'm yours and you're mine
If you like it or not
oh oh Oh no oh oh its so good.


2.Small Cuts

It doesn't take much
To cover up small cuts
Hid 'neath the bandages
Under her sleeve

She just want's attention
We all want attention
She just want's it more than
She'll have you believe

Goodnight.
Sleep tight.
Don't let anyone bite you.
She will leave you deaf and bewildered.
Oh how she floats like a butterfly,
Stings like a killer.

All of the good kids
Will darken their eyelids,
Cover in make-up,
And uncomfortable dress.

They just want attention.
We all want attention.
A beautiful kiss and a sin to confess.

Goodnight...


3.All Of The Drugs

All of the drugs, she takes at night,
Keep her awake, Give me a fright,
I don't know what goes through her mind,
When she takes drugs.

All of the lies she tells herself,
Won't believed by anybody else.
And I can't buy just what she sells,
When she tells lies.

And she takes her pills, And she tells her lies,
And she breaks my heart, and breaks her word,
But I still act sur-, surprised.

Every kiss she gives away, might be a good time,
But you know, the sad thing is the boys all say,
She's something of a slut.

And she takes her pills, and she tells her lies,
And she breaks my heart, and breaks her word,
But I still act surprised.


4.Better Than Me

Every girl from here to soho
Loves to tell me things I don't know
Beautiful and smart
And no good for me
At all

All your boyfriends go to film school
Nathan was in plays in high school (How 'bout that?)
Me, I'm gonna play the imbecile, who
Who keeps choosing you even though you're bipolar and you're
selfish, I hate you

Everyone is better than me, I think
Everyone is better than, better than me
Everyone is better than, better than me

Look at what you've done, now I'm a mess
Today I even thought I'd wear a dress
It's beautiful, so smart,
And no good for me
At all

Everyone is better than me, I think
Throw your hands up if you agree with me
Now everyone is better than me, I think
Everyone is better than, better than me
Better than me


5.Love At First Sight

Could this be love at first sight, or should I walk by again?
You're photogenically dressed,
The conversation begins.
Oh God, now what did I say?
Let me start over again.

Could this be love at first sight-- oh wait, I said that before.
I need a place for the night,
Happy to sleep on the floor.
But don't go out of your way,
And I won't talk anymore.

Turn the lights off, I'm in love.

Wouldn't you like to, wouldn't you like to kiss her?
Wouldn't you like to, wouldn't you like to dance with her?

Darkened nights and violent things,
Vaudevillian girls and violin strings,
All of the these things are the prettiest things when I'm in
love.

Turn the lights off, I'm falling in love with you.

Wouldn't you like to, wouldn't you like to kiss her?
Wouldn't you like to, wouldn't you like to dance with her?

Dark dark nights and violent things,
Vaudevillian girls and violin strings,
All of the these things are the prettiest things when I'm in
love.


6.Visitation Of A Ghost

You think you think you're pretty smart
But I can cause a little pain
She wraps the cord around her arm
Tries out to find a little vein

She lines the pictures
In a pretty row
To create the circumstances
Like the evidence will show

And who will be a witness
For the solitary host
If you sleep tonight
The visitation of the ghost

You think that I don't know your game
A pretty, pretty little face
Despite every book
And every little kiss you took
She'll take your place

She lines the pictures
In a pretty row
To create the circumpstances
Like the evidence will show

And who will be a witness
For the solitary host
If you sleep tonight
The visitation of the ghost

Oh my lord, lord, lord, lord
(oh my lord, lord, lord, lord) (x5)


7.The Nerve

You've got
A lot of nerve
I've got
A little time

So try to make it hurt
Its nothing that I haven't heard a thousand time

And you've got
Your little girlfriends
So here we go again

See I don't ever get to know
the parts of you you never show
You think you lie, you lie yourself
Good, go and bother someone else

So go, go away
Take your face
leave today

Finally get what you deserve
Oh you have got a lot of nerve

You've got
Your little campaignt
A dirty little smile

A snap inside my left brain
It's something I haven't heard in quite a while

And you've got
Your little girlfriends
So here we go again

So go, go away
Take your face
leave today

Finally get what you deserve
Oh you have got a lot of nerve

See I don't ever get to know
The parts of you you never show
You think you lie, you lie yourself

Be careful, careful with the lies you tell
And the campaing that your body sales
Careful carriage, lie today


8.I Will, Tonight

Honestly,
Ive not the foggiest idea
just what I'm doing here
but why should i go?

i cant believe (i cant believe)
that our home is blown (to smithereens.)
and at night the radiation makes it glow.

CHORUS
you see, I've been inclined
to get you off of my mind
so i will
i will, tonight.

Its not so bad
to be the only one left here
though, the science may seem queer
its all that I've got now.

i cant believe that you left me here.
the sole survivor of the bomb that dropped.

CHORUS

The only trouble is
you're getting hard to resist
but i will
i will
I'll take that little pill.
i will
i will. tonight.


9.Goodnight Socialite

In the darkest corner of the house...
I found her body there
cold and stiff
spine in a twist
she left a note
it read like so:
My Dearest one...
heres what you've done..

Ive got your knife inside my back
Ive got your rope around my neck
I feel the poison in my veins
corrode and eat away my brains

Ive told you fifteen dozen times.
And thats one hundred-eighty times
If I cant have you
then no one can.

..She was an honest girl (Never told a lie.)
Raised with the finest things (Far too rich to die.)
A silver spoon
Gold diamond rings

And her sainted mother
the benefactor
of the inheritance that i was after

shes got a feeling that ill get even and
if i cant have you
then no one can.

Ive got your knife inside my back
Ive got your rope around my neck
I feel the poison in my veins
corrode and eat away my brains

Ive told you fifteen dozen times.
And thats one hundred-eighty times
If I cant have you
then no one can.


10.Bike Ride

Hey kids, hey kids, can we rock and roll?
Tell me (Yeah)
Yeah? (Yeah)
Alright, let's go

Constantly doing things
That you don't like
Riding bikes
Across the street
Without a care
In the world

Well I'm in hell I've got to tell somebody now
I'm in hell I've got to tell somebody now
I'm in hell I've got to tell somebody now
I'm in hell and I've got to tell somebody now

Chasing me
Pretty, pretty things
That talk too much
But I don't mind
Riding bikes
Across the street
Without a care in the world (In the world)
In the world

I'm in hell I've got to tell somebody now
I know you can hear it too
And the TV is up too loud
I'm in hell I've got to tell somebody now
I'm in hell and I've got to tell somebody now

Well I'm in hell I've got to tell somebody now
I know you can hear it too
And the TV is on too loud
I'm in hell I've got to tell somebody now
I'm in hell and I've got to tell somebody now


11.Le Velo Pour Deux

Vampires never have to complain,
Of living a dull circumstance.
So let's all pretend that we are undead,
In turn of the century France.

I want the love on your wrist,
Oh, give me the heart on your neck.
And it would be fine,
To spend my whole life,
With you, together.
Parlez vous, or something like that.
Le velo pour deux or something like that,
And that's what I'll say to get you to ride away with me.

Oh!

Oh, it would be fine to spend my whole life,
With you, on a bicycle built for two.

Ahhh, ahhh, whoah, oh, oh!
Ahhh, ahhh, whoah, oh, oh!
Oh it would be so oh fine to spend my whole life,
With you, on a bicycle built for two.


12.Second Boys Will Be First Choice

Gather around you boys and girls
Listen you to my tale
Of two boys and one girl
But which one will will her?
Which one is destined to fail?

Complicated situacion
Made harder every day
Boy number two there is someone for you
Just forget her and walk away

Don't be fool
You cant fool each one that you choose
Second boys will be first choice to
Somebody better than you

Don't be fool
You can't fool each boy that you choice
Second boys will be first choice to
Somebody better than you


13.Boring

Boring, everything is boring,
And every day is the same,
Every day is exactly the same.
Boring, all of us are bored,
Every day is exactly the same,
Exactly the same as before.
Oh what, oh what are you boring me for?

It's up to you, to find something to do,
It's useless and boring, don't wanna be bored anymore,
Oh what are you boring me for?

Nothing, nothing is as boring,
Boring as you, nothing is as boring as you.
Wasted, time is less effective,
Then growing less attractive to you,
There is nothing new anymore.
Oh what, oh what are you boring me for?

It's up to you, to find something to do,
It's useless and boring, don't wanna be bored anymore,
Oh what are you boring me for?

(Guitar Solo)

It's up to you, to find something to do,
It's useless and boring, don't wanna be bored anymore,
Oh what are you boring me for?
Oh-oh, anymore,
What are you boring me... for?
