Speed Ballads

Jimmy came down from the northwest, said there's a couple of things
I wanna get off my chest, like eat some food you're looking like a ghost
And how come you always hurt, the ones that you love most
I've pulled myself together, it tore us apart
I've been on the m1 for most of the night
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and i've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And i lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
And jimmy said words i hadn't heard before
Like licentiousness and what about getting a job
But the blood in your body as you're coming down
It stings like the cold wind, that blows round your friends
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and i've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And i lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
Like a moon soaked summer night, on a rainy westbourne park day
We're together we're apart, hell i'm crazy i'm wrong and you're right
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and i've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And i lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
You're born and then you live, then you die
You get one try and i've tried everything
A cannon's loose you were telling the truth
And i lied - caught offside - so don't say anything
Just try everything just try everything

Kowloon gardens, was some where a short cut through
'til i met you, now we're lying on your bed
Watching kung fu movies
There are no days or nights, just you and me and bruce lee
We shout we fight, we chase the night
But we disagree, kung fu movies,
Kung fu movies, kung fu movies,
Kung fu
Shaolin and fu sang yang, seng li - all the time
Dragon master deadly venoms five, hong kong style
Kung fu movies, kung fu movies,
Kung fu movies, 0kung fu
I frustrate you, complicate you, i'll hit and hurt you
It's hang seng baby
Cos' one of these days when i make money
I'll blow away these kowloon gardens
And you and kung fu
You and kung fu, you and kung fu
You and kung fu
I'll blow away these kowloon gardens and
Kung fu movies, kung fu movies
Kung fu movies, kung fu
Ngo jah che hi sickfan, gung hoi fat choy gowlong
Ngo tung kwilo a ma va, leung kar m hoi ta

Future you, future me
You make the whole damn day feel longer
It's taking me over, it makes me feel older
Creature you, creature me
I shed my coat, but it turned winter
Just look at the weather
It's raining forever
But i could stay, stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (i don't think so)
Yeah i could stay, stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful masquerade
I don't think so (i don't think so)
Future you, future me
I shut myself out from the world now
The sounds getting so loud
You're making me spin round
But i could stay, stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (i don't think so)
Yeah i could stay, stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful waste of space
I don't think so (i don't think so)
Future you, future me
I guess i'll have to set my sights higher
I'm too near a liar, it makes my feel tired
But i could stay, stay in this luxury cage
Wouldn't that be great
I don't think so (i don't think so)
Yeah i could stay, stay in this sparkling fake
Stay in this beautiful waste of space
I don't think so (i don't think so)

Ice cold, heart stone
You want fresh meat, but i won't eat it
You can't touch me, your insides ugly
It's a slap in the face, but you gave it away
You give in to fame
Then, you found yourself high
And you're gonna feel low
And you find yourself colder than the winter
Can't bare to be alone
Faded man
Ice cold, bare bones
You take flesh and you take asprin,
Glad i faked it, 'cos now its ended
'cos you found yourself high, now you're going below
When your throat becomes dry, and you wanna go home
Faded man
But the airports are closed, and your credit card knows
Your honesty's left back on the runway
Screaming for the phone, it's the fading of a man
Like a slap in the face, but you gave it away
You gave in to fame
Then, you found yourself high
And you're gonna feel low
And you find yourself colder than the winter
Melting like the snow
Faded man
And you find yourself high, now your going below
And your faces are changing like the seasons
Breaking like a bone
It's the fading of a man

She said she'd lie for you, she said she'd die for you
She said she'd fly in the sky, said she'd cry for you
She said she's proud of you, and that she loves you too
Put on a show 'cos she knows, what you're going thru
She says i'm looking rough, i'm on a diet and stuff
And now it's all gone wrong, oh she knows that it's tough
She says she'll do what she can, 'cos she's my number one fan
Take advice don't fight, what he told her last night
Do you wanna know about us, she's got pretty girl hate
Funny how a so called friend, delete everything she said
Apologies they come too late, she tells pretty girl lies
Every single time, she's got pretty girl hate
But then she changed her tune, in just one afternoon
Hates my guts won't stop, 'till i'm out the room
She let the rumours fly, she's got a devious mind
Attitude bitter fruit, and an evil eye
It's not a part of my life, she's got pretty girl hate
Funny how a so called friend, delete everything she said
Apologies they come too late, she tells pretty girl lies
Black and white, all the time
You do everything in spite, your jealousy
Is deep inside, pretty girl
It's not a part of my life, do you wanna know about it
She's got pretty girl hate, funny how a so called friend
Delete everything she said, apologies they come too late
She tells pretty girl lies, black and white
All the time, you do everything in spite
Your jealousy, is deep inside, she's got pretty girl hate
Every single time, every single night
Every single time, she's got pretty girl
