Death of a Minor TV Celebrity

The Candyskins Death of a Minor TV Celebrity Lyrics
1.Feed It

Lyricist:Nicholas Burton, Mark Cope, Nicholas Cope, John Halliday

There's a place in the sun
That belongs to everyone
You can feel it inside
It goes straight on through to the other side

And we're hitching a ride
There'll be room for everyone
We're not saying goodbye
We're just saying hello to a better life

And if you want it, you got it
You feed it, you love it
You say that you need it
You'll never ever leave it

But you want it, you got it
You say, you really love it
But you don't know what it is
Until it's gone, gone, gone

There's a place in the sun
That belongs to everyone
You can feel you're alive
Now you've made it through to the other side
Now you've made it through to the other side

And if you want it, you got it
You feed it, you love it
You say that you need it
You'll never ever leave it

But you want it, you got it
You said, you really love it
But you don't know what it is
Until it's gone, gone, gone

There's a place in the sun
That belongs to everyone
You can feel it inside
It goes straight on through to the other side

And if you want it, you got it
You feed it, you love it
You say that you need it
You'll never ever leave it

But you want it, you got it
You said, you really love it
But you don't know what it is
Until it's gone, gone, gone

And if you want it, you got it
You feed it, you love it
You say that you need it
You'll never ever leave it

But you want it, you got it
You said, you really love it
But you don't know what it is
Until it's gone, gone, gone

You want it, you got it
You seen it, you got it
You feed it, you on it
You said, you really love it


2.Teenage Suicide

Lyricist:Nick Burton, Mark Cope, Nick Cope, John Halliday

Round the corner past the phone box
Take the next left and you don't stop
It's a day like any other today

Have the right change wear a clean shirt
Make a brave face and it won't hurt
Think a good thought make it last you all day

You wanna tell your mother that you love her
Comb your hair and smooth the covers
Leave a light on like there's somebody home

Call the operator just to say
Can you wake me up can you call me later
Keep me talking now don't hang up

And everybody wants to hide
From the teenage suicide
And everybody wants a ride
From the teenage suicide

Around the table in the morning
Chew your food and stop your yawning
Take a deep breath make it last you all day

Check for signs of life in your horoscope
Is the future bright is there any hope there
Are you happy now hanging on

And everybody wants to hide
From the teenage suicide
And everybody wants a ride
From the teenage suicide

Call the operator teenage suicide
Call the operator teenage suicide
Call the operator teenage suicide
Call the operator teenage suicide

And everybody wants to hide
From the teenage suicide
And everybody wants a ride
From the teenage suicide

Call the operator
Teenage suicide


3.Death Of A Minor TV Celebrity

Lyricist:Tracy Ackerman, Lindsay Armou, Martin Brannigan, Ray Hedges,
Edele Lynch, Keavy Lynch, Sinead O'carroll

You got me down, you got me down
Can't afford to wait another day
And I'm not about to give it all away again
Not for anyone

You knock me out, well you knock me out
And I feel as if it's all just been a waste
There were times before when
I would grin and bear it all
Not anymore no not anymore

And where will you go
Now you're floating on the roof of the world
What a drag
You're the star of your own one man show and it shows
That you're willing to go
To the ends of the earth to be someone

You cut me down, well you cut me down
For a minute there I thought I got away
Is a life time long enough to make a change
For anyone no not for anyone

And where will you go
Now you're floating
On the roof of the world
What a drag

You're the star of your
Own one man show and it shows
That you're willing to go
To the ends of the earth to be someone
To be someone

And where will you go
Now you're floating on the roof of the world
Floating on the edge of the earth
What a drag

You're the star of your
Own one man show and it shows
That you're willing to go
To the ends of the earth to be someone
You oughta be someone
Do you wanna be someone
Do you wanna be someone


4.Swimming Pool

Lyricist:Nick Burton, Mark Cope, Nick Cope, John Halliday

I was never good at school
You couldn't keep me awake
I loved it by the swimming pool
Just floating off into space

I think of what I could have been
Sweating in a nylon shirt
The captain of a loser's team
Saying nothing till I'm fit to burst

And if I could only do it
I would say I knew you were a friend of mine
But I've been on this planet
Long enough to know it's just a waste of time

And the days get longer
They get longer day by day
By day by day by day

Sit up, sit straight, and concentrate
Grow up to be someone you hate
C'mon, get up, get out of bed
Don't use excuses, use your head

I was never good at school
You couldn't keep me awake
I loved it by the swimming pool
Just floating off into space

And if I could have an hour
I would take a shower and forget it all
And if things were any better
I would only worry I'd been here before

And the days get longer
They get longer day by day
By day by day by day

Sit up, sit straight, and concentrate
Grow up to be someone you hate
C'mon, get up, get out of bed
Don't use excuses, use your head

C'mon, get up, get out of bed
Don't use excuses, use your head
Use your head


5.Loser Friendly

Lyricist:Nicholas Burton, Mark Cope, Nicholas Cope, John Halliday

When she wakes up, she runs for the bus
She looks so scared, she feels like screaming
She hides her face and drifts away
To somewhere not a million miles away

She can't lose her job, it's all that she's got
She just keeps drinking in the evening
She licks her lips and blows her nose
The party girl is ready to explode

She jumps off the bus, still caught in the rush
Amid among the wheels keep turning
Overtime till she stops working
Not sticking away, I'm sorry to say

You're taking out the competition
You used up all your ammunition too
And that's pretty dumb, dumb, dumb
If I'm being honest, if I'm telling the truth
You're loser friendly

She's watching the clock, she wants it to stop
Before the day becomes the evening
She paints her nails and comes to life
She knows she won't be coming home tonight

She starts to unwind on vodka and lime
Happiness is never knowing
When to stop yourself from going
Over the top but like it or not

Sundays don't have happy endings
But that's okay but then it all depends on you
And that's pretty dumb, dumb, dumb
If I'm being honest, if I'm telling the truth
You're loser friendly


6.All Over Now

So, what the hell is so wrong with me?
If this is love then I disagree
We fall apart just too easily

Is it all over now?
Is it all over now?

Eleven times I called your house
It always seems that you've just gone out
So what's this thing you want to talk about?

Is it all over now?
Is it all over now?

Your latest flame wants to be my friend
So let's all drink to the bitter end
I said it once and I'll say it again

Is it all over now?
Is it all over now?
Is it all over now, over now?
Is it all over now, over now
Over now? Over now?


7.Songbird

We've all got something to hide from each other
We've all got secrets and lies to discover

On days when the sun won't shine
And you feel fucked up by it all
Well, you're a songbird
And you won't sing anymore

We're all just part of one scene or another
We've all been trying too hard to recover

From days when the lights
Won't change and you feel cut up from it all
Well, you're a songbird,
And you won't sing anymore

And how does it feel to be right
Just some other time
How does it play on your mind
And tell me how does it feel
To be the last two people alive

On days when the sun won't shine
And you feel fucked up by it all
I swear that I won't say
All the wrong things
It's a good day to say nothing
You're a songbird
And you won't sing anymore

It's a good day
It's a good day
It's a good day
To say nothing
