The Vaccines - People's Republic Of Desire

Dancing on my own since you cut us in half
Moving 'round my mind like you're choreographed
Watching you relaxing at the end of the bed
Wishing you'd relax going 'round in my head
When you're really gone, then there'll be nothing to start
No planet big enough to fill the space in my heart
Don't pull us apart, don't pull us apart, don't pull us apart

Only know the moon 'cause I grew up with his sun
No one there was happy, but they're all having fun
Sometimes think the world is only turning on me
Knew right as I said it that you wouldn't agree
Kill the negativity with candles and sage
Work in perfect harmony for minimum wage
Make peace with my rage, make peace with my rage, make peace with my rage

Take a vow of devotion
And invade my emotion Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're guns for hire in the People's Republic of Desire
So hot, we start fires in the People's Republic of Desire
Leading suppliers to the People's Republic of Desire
We're frequent flyers to the People's Republic, the People's Republic

Went to bed with fear in its very long arms
Tried to fall asleep, felt like a fire alarm
Don't call it a comeback and don't call it a crush
Life can be amazing, but it's nothing on us
Someone call a doctor, I don't feel very well
There's no point in love if you've got no one to tell
I'm ringing my bell, I'm ringing my bell, I'm ringing my bell

Never gave the joke my permission to land
Thought that it was fresh, but all the laughter was canned
Humour doesn't travel, but it might need a break
The jokes are getting older, let's just get 'em a cake
Look into the future and there's nobody there
No one that can tell me that my life is unfair
Or answer my prayer, or answer my prayer, or answer my prayer

Take a vow of devotion
And invade my emotion
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're guns for hire in the People's Republic of Desire
So hot, we start fires in the People's Republic of Desire
Leading suppliers to the People's Republic of Desire
We're frequent flyers to the People's Republic, the People's Republic


We're guns for hire in the People's Republic of Desire

The Vaccines - Pink Water Pistols

When I talk to myself, I know somebody's listening
My mirror a casting director auditioning
Running my lines, I'm increasingly wistful
A mock execution, a pink water pistol
And if I had five minutes on earth with you left
I would keep playing dead until you were impressed
So that I'd not make promises I couldn't keep anymore

I've been working on my mind's interior design
Tryna give this place a little light
Sometimes it feels like I just can't get anything right
But I'd sit in a windowless room every day
Tryna see everything through
If I thought it would give me a panoramic view of you

When digital gangsters were stealing your innocence
I put an order in just to show insolence
Then they got caught and I felt like a failure
So loved you so loud, they could hear in Australia
And then I had five minutes on earth with you left
But I kept playing dead until you were impressed
So that I'd not make promises I couldn't keep anymore

I've been working on my mind's interior design
Tryna give this place a little light
Sometimes it feels like I just can't get anything right
But I'd sit in a windowless room every day
Tryna see everything through
If I thought it would give me a panoramic view of you

Every inch of you built like the Mecca
Bacon, secret sauce, cheese, double-decker
You're the best thing they've got on the menu
Want you while you're still warm
Want you so much that it's become the norm

I've been working on my mind's interior design
Tryna give this place a little light
Sometimes it feels like I just can't get anything right
But I'd sit in a windowless room every day
Tryna see everything through
If I thought it would give me a panoramic view of you

Remember that night taking Mexican ecstasy?
Codeine, corrido and crashing out next to me
Can't call a cab and I can't read your reply
The Tower of London cut off my free Wi-Fi
So now we've got five minutes on earth with them left
Let's just keep playing dead until they are impressed
So that we won't make promises we cannot keep anymore
