Sound Of The Underground

Oh oh yeah ooh

We text as we eat
As we listen to the freaks
As we wait for the right of way
We text as we talk
We're running as we walk
Cos we're several little souls away
We smoke as we choke
As we sink another Coke
And we grin when it blows on mine
We skate as we date
As we slowly suffocate
We're running, we're running, we're running
Out of time

My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When summer slipped away
So chill now oh
We've got many years to go
So take it day by day

And long ago
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last to low
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes anymore

We spend as we mend
Cos we're happy to pretend
Everything's gonna be OK
We shake as we break
Never giving 'til we take
And we hate when we have to pay
We flirt while we work
To forget about the hurt
And the trash that we left behind
We sink as we swim
The ice is wearing thin
We're running, we're running, we're running
Out of time

My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When summer slipped away
So chill now oh
We've got many years to go
So take it day by day

And long ago
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last to low
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes anymore

My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When summer slipped away
So chill now oh
We've got many years to go
So take it day by day

And long ago
I lost my soul
To some forgotten dream and
How was I supposed to know
It wasn't what it seemed
And even though the last to low
Has left me on the floor
I don't believe in Romeos or heroes anymore

Disco dancing with the lights down low
Beats are pumping on the stereo
Neighbours banging on the bathroom wall
Your sayin' crank the bass
I gotta get some more

Waters runnin' in the wrong direction
Got a feelin' its a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Summit funnies goin' on inside my mind
Don't know what its pushin' me higher
Its the static from the floor below
Then its drops and catches like a fire
Its a sound I, Its a sound I know

It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
Its the sound of the under
Sound of the underground

Chain reaction running through my veins
Pumps the bass line up into my brain
Screws my mind until I lose control
And when the building rocks I know Its got my soul

Waters runnin' in the wrong direction
Got a feelin' its a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Summit funnies goin' on inside my mind
Don't know what its pushin' me higher
Its the static from the floor below
Then its drops and catches like a fire
Its a sound I, Its a sound I know

It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
Its the sound of the under
Sound of the underground

I don't know what it's pushin' me higher
It's the static from the floor below
And then it drops and catches like fire
Its a sound I, Its a sound I
Its a sound I, Its a sound I know

It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and around
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Out to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps in the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
Its the sound of the under
Sound of the underground

The bass line jumps in the backstreet light
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
The bass line jumps in the backstreet light
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground

Daddy told me look into the future

Sit at your computer, be a good girl
And Mama said remember your a lady,
Think before your play and straighten your curls,

Well everybodys talking like i'm crazy
Dangerous and lazy girl with no soul
But i've seen it all from where i'm hiding
Baby cause i'm sliding, out of control

[BRIDGE]
Here I go, on the road crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Shut your mouth because it's my show

[CHORUS]
I don't need no good advice
I'm already wasted
I don't need some other life
Cold and complicated
I don't need no Sunday trips
Cheap and sympathising
I don't need no special fix
To anaesthetise me

Daddy always told me to remember,
Leave the boys, till later, don't you drop down
Mama said I'd never get to heaven
Hang out till eleven, with the wrong crowd

Everybody's talking like I'm only
Just another phony girl who can't play
But i dig the music that i'm making
Baby, and im breaking it into your brain

[BRIDGE]
Here I go, on the road, crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Shut your mouth because it's my show

[CHORUS]
I don't need no good advice
I'm already wasted
I don't need some other life
Cold and complicated
I don't need no Sunday trips
Cheap and sympathising
I don't need no special fix
To anaesthetise me

[BRIDGE]
Here I go, on the road, crank the stereo
I flick my finger to the world below
Here I am, dirty hands, i don't give a damn
Shut your mouth because its my show

[CHORUS]
I don't need no good advice
I'm already wasted
I don't need some other life
Cold and complicated
I don't need no Sunday trips
Cheap and sympathising
I don't need no special fix
To anaesthetise me

I don't need no good advice
No well-intension sacrifice
And I don't need no sunday trip
No chocolate box or speed for kicks
Hell I don't need no beauty sleep
No need to count those dirty sheep
And I don't need bedtime prayer
Cause frankly I don't care

Same old routine
It's just a different day
Still I don't know what's going on
With you
The smell of you, still lingers on my skin
But you are nowhere to be seen
And boy

I bet you're balling up
Even though it's tough
I'm gonna lay it on the line
And if I'm asking you boy
Open up and let me know

Is it love, hate?
What's it gonna be?
Baby make, break
Tell me what you see
Is it you, me?
Are we gonna make it through?
Always up, down
Running me around
When I give, take
You don't reciprocate
Is it love, hate?
Tell me what it's gonna be

No one deserves
What you have put me through
Wont tolerate a life this way with you
Worth so much more
That a bad excuse to leave
You take a piece of me
You do

I bet you're balling up
Even though it's tough
I'm gonna lay it on the line
And if I'm asking you boy
Open up and let me know

Is it love, hate?
What's it gonna be?
Baby make, break
Tell me what you see
Is it you, me?
Are we gonna make it through?
Always up, down
Running me around
When I give, take
You don't reciprocate
Is it love, hate?
Tell me what it's gonna be

Is it love, hate?
What's it gonna be?
Baby make, break
Tell me what you see
Is it you, me?
Are we gonna make it through?
Always up, down
Running me around
When I give, take
You don't reciprocate
Is it love, hate?
Tell me what it's gonna be

Oh, oh

Is it love, hate?
What's it gonna be?
Baby make, break
Tell me what you see
Is it you, me?
Are we gonna make it through?
Always up, down
Running me around
When I give, take
You don't reciprocate
Is it love, hate?
Tell me what it's gonna be

You know it ain't right
You treated me wrong
But I thought we could make it
That's why I played nice for far too long
Why you're testing my patience

All along I knew that you were
Holding your feelings back from me
And why ma said I'd do with you
That's not how it seems to be

I don't want you back
If you don't wanna give me your heart
I don't want you back
Until I know it's real
But I'm still gonna love forever
And I don't wanna let you back
Until I know

So tell me what's next
And how do you expect
To think you could win back my heart again
You better do it best
Don't wanna have regrets
About giving you another chance

All along I knew that you were
Holding your feelings back from me
And why ma said I'd do with you
That's not how it seems to be

I don't want you back
If you don't wanna give me your heart
I don't want you back
Until I know it's real
But I'm still gonna love forever
And I don't wanna let you back
Until I know

And I know I'll be alright
I'll keep my faith in the light
Can't hide to love someone
Now that I know
That's why I've gotta let you know

I don't want you back
If you don't wanna give me your heart
I don't want you back
Until I know it's real
But I'm still gonna love forever
And I don't wanna let you back
Until I know

I don't want you back
(I don't want you back)
If you don't wanna give me your heart
(If you don't wanna give me your heart)
I don't want you back
Until I know it's real
But I'm still gonna love forever
And I don't wanna let you back
Until I know

Oh, oh, ooh

I don't need a man doing everything he can
And giving up his life and everything he has to please me
(Oh, oh, oh)
I don't like the kinda guy who does the can and
Loves you for the sake in the heat of a one night stand

I never met a man as perfect as you
No one makes me feel the way that you do
I really, really, mean it when I say

If you want it come and get it
(You know that I'll be waiting)
If you need it like I need it
(Don't go hesitating)
Don't regret it, don't forget it
(Baby let me take you) Oh
Somewhere where only this girl's allowed

I don't like a man who drives a fast car
To make you think they're bigger baby than they really are
(Oh, oh, oh)
I don't need a man who hasn't got a job
Who sits watching telly with his belly and a bottle of rum (Oh yeah)
(Oh, oh, oh)

I never met a man as perfect as you
No one makes me feel the way that you do
I really, really, mean it when I say

If you want it come and get it
(You know that I'll be waiting)
If you need it like I need it
(Don't go hesitating)
Don't regret it, don't forget it
(Baby let me take you)
Somewhere where only this girl's allowed

Never give up when I'm wanting
(Yeah)
Never give up when I'm needing
(Yeah)
Never give up when I'm feeling
Never give up
Never give up
Ooh
If you wanting to know that I get some
If you wanting to know that I taste some
Never give up
Never give up
If I want it, gonna get it
Gonna take it, gonna make it
This way yeah

If you want it come and get it
(Come and get it)
