La la la la La la la la

Mickey wishes he was dead, draws the sheet across his head

Never felt so alive

Moved him in to share the bed, turns out he's sharing her instead

Was it all worthwhile?

 Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in

 Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in

 Don't want you to go, just need you to know

Can't leave the house: he wouldn't dare, hang this guilty frame with stares

Naked in a fray

I'll be the shortest person there, oh god I'm losing all my hair

It won't suit my style

Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in

 I don't want you to go, I just need you to know

I don't want you to go, I just need you to know

Do do do Aa-aa-aa-aa-aah

 She gave me nothing that I could bear to lose Aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-ah

 And if he reaches for the door, be sure he'll touch the wood and pause

Ask me back for more

We'll still shove us down the stairs, still get in each other's hair

If there's any left then

Must have been funny, must have been dim - cut it up and let it all in

 I don't want you to go, I just need you to know

 I don't want you to go, I just need you to know

Did you want him to go? did you push him to go where the ~~ girl lies

 Where does the ~~ girl lie? why does she hide? why does she hide . . ? [ad

You've got a lot to answer for, but baby I love you. (x2)

If it turns to blue, what are we gonna do

If it stays on white, will it be alright.

If it all turns sour, it's too late

 The CSA are bound to find you soon.

If you wanna talk, then talk about it

You could talk all night if you wanted

You could talk all night and day, but

 I'd think by now you know exactly

 How to end up here

 are you looking for the sun?

 are you looking out for me? [Walk down an A string from C to G]

You've got a lot to answer for, but baby I love you. (x2)

You said I got the looks

 Well I got the means

 Let's get together, mix each other's genes

 Let's get together, mix each other's genes

 Can't buy myself a future,

 My DNA will be past it's sell by date

 are you looking for a son? [Walk down an A string from C to G]

 are you holding out for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

Infantile by Suzy and Steve

But she only came to gloat

 It stuck right there in my throat

 How she loved to turn the screw

 And leave you feel indebted to her fantasies and views

 So surprised you saw it through

 Couldn't help but notice

 You'd covered all means of escape

 Found the other people's parties second rate

It ain't easy It ain't easy It ain't easy

 Reduced a listener to a tear

 Forgetting what had brought him here

 Undoing everything he'd known

 Left him wake up in the morning on his own

 It's how you leave no time to breathe

 It's how you leave no time to breathe

 All is not all that it seems

 Thought the rest was just a breeze

 Till you remind me of my inadequacies

It ain't easy It ain't easy It ain't easy

It ain't easy It ain't easy It ain't easy

It's infantile, it's in your smile, here's my sign you'll soon be mine

It's infantile, it's in your smile, here's my sign you'll soon be mine

It's infantile, it's in your smile, here's my sign you'll soon be mine

La la la la la .... [to fade]

This Boy Can't Swim-Catatonia

This boy can't swim, he's wearing too many skins

I hope he sinks, then he'll forget everything

Dreamt up the lies that would hold it together

Then realised those he lied to were cleverer

Left on the side they have long since you joined him

Back in the fold thick as thieves they will weigh him down

\ (slides down to from )

2nd verse (chords as above)

This boy can't swim he's carrying too many sins

I hope he sinks, till he forgets everything

2nd Chorus

'good as gold' alternates with 'thick as thieves'

Then I'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.

Is this what everyone talked about?

 Swallow everything that suits, dress it up as truth,

 And I, I wish you would do it,

Then I'd never have to notice if the bridges are burnt.

 So cold out here . . .

Catatonia- Whale

Tabbed By Suzy and Steve and Adam

Intro

You should know by now that the common thread is taut

 I'd like to stay but you just won't listen

Disappointment I'd take though there's no point to it

I blew it

If you could think aloud, it won't mean anything will change

 As tests go wrong and we deny it together

Or a second of thought might ache forever

I blew it I blew it I blew it

But did you ever go too far up against your own persuasion

 Consummate madness then despise

You should have learnt by now that the common thread is taut

 It's hard to reflect when your world is sighing

You could never catch up and there's no use trying

I blew it I blew it I blew it

And if the gods were on your side I couldn't let you slide

(I blew it) (I blew it)

And if the gods were on your side I couldn't let you slide

(I blew it) (I blew it)

You blow it You blew it I blew it [etc.]

eNjOy!
