Oh Lord! When? How? (EP)

The Hives Oh Lord! When? How? (EP) Lyrics
1.You Think You're So Darn Special

Frances she lost forty ponds, so what about me?
Well I don't know much about anything
But I know I've got to pay
They never feed me, never let me watch T-V
They'r gonna wish they never fucked with me

Spotlight pointed in my face, what's going on?
They're about to punish me for something all of us would have
done
I managed to escape, but I wasn't gone for long
They're holding me down, twisting my arm saying 'You'r the one
to blame'

Still I haven't got a clue what's really on my mind
If you just got off my back the truth will be easier to find

How can I say that it was I? how can I say that it was I who
broke the chain+
So what's with me? i'm such a mess
Mr Twistmyarm is forcing me to confess

Don't know what's come over me, don't know what popped out
But I think I'm beginning to sense what this is really all about
They're looking for someone like me
For someone to blame, to take a fall, to take a dive
For someone they can frame

Still I haven't got a clue what's really on my mind
If you just got off my back the truth will be easier to find


2.Cellblock

Turn your back I'll take anything
Turn your back and I'll be out the door
Having done that cleptothing once more

I won't learn and I won't change I won't learn how to rearrange
This is the way i live, this is the way I'll die

Lock me up in a cell

Your words don't mean anything weather you say you like me or
not
Now you say you wanna se me laugh (caught)

I won't learn and I won't change
Only extended to an ever greated range

Lock me up in a cell


3.Bearded Lady

For fifteen years I've been working at the Circus
But nothing has been the same since the Bearded Lady showed up
She stood right there and then made it clear that it was me she
wanted
What else could I do but stay away and hide?
Another night in the elephant booth, another night in the
midget-van
Another sleepless night caused by something sticky coming up my
face
There she was smiling at me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me

I ran away as fast as I could
Gotta get me another place to hide
I know that I should, and I keep running til the break of dawn
And I gotta keep running cause I know the hunt is on

The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me
The Bearded Lady is chasing me


4.Some People Know All Too Well How Bad Liquorice, Or Any Candy For
That Matter, Can Taste When Having Laid Out In The Sun Too Long - And
I Think I Just Ate Too Much

So what, so what if I was wrong
I said you can't get me cause I'm far too strong
That's when he hit me and said that's not how it's gonna be
Then he emptied all my pockets as he emptied me
So pick me up, take me in, got to get away from him
Take me in, take my side, cause I really got to hide
Cause if you don't then I'm through cause no one knows what he
might do
Take me in or lock me up cause these beatings got to top
I think I just ate too much

I thought I was through I was lonely and frightened didn't know
what to do
He was about to hit me, ready to bust out all my teeth
If you get a cold it will only be so much easier to breathe

So pick me up, take me in, got to get away from him
Got a cold, got to teeth and it sure is eaier to breathe
Still I don't like him, not one bit cause he's still doing that
same old shit
Beating me up, bringing me down although I wish it was the other
way around

You picked me up, took me in, so that I could get away from him
Now how the future looks for me that's what I'm about to see
But what I've learned from all of this is how it sets around my
waist
How bad it was and still is and of course how bad it tastes
I think I just ate too much


5.How Will I Cope With That?

The light is getting better as the sun is going up
It looks to be proceeding not knowing where to stop
Barely awake I get out of bed
I've been thinking quite a lot about what you said
You said I feel like I am stuck so I'm leaving today
I'm taking my things don't you follow me
So you satisfy yourself and lay me back
Back upon the shelf
So you took what you owned and a whole lot more
And I'm eating my breakfast right off the floor
Cause I've got no plates no tables no nothing
I know you're angry but you could have left something
Now I stand alone again but I wish it wasn't so
I wish you were here in my atmophere but I know you're not
I'm missing you so

How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?

Did I love you wrong I'm such a mess
Was my love too strong then I'll love you less?
I'll do almost anything to get you back
And I'll take whoever tries to plug your jack
But that's not easy when you're not here
I wish I could flick a switch and you would appear
Cause I'd like to gain some of your sympathy
The only thing I've won is the pain you're causing me

So now what am I gonna do
I loom about still missing you
Can't seem to find no where to go
Can't seem to learn what I want to know
Though I shouldn't let it get to me
It bothers me that you went away
Was I too thin? Was I too fat?
Now you're gone and how will I cope with that?

How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
