Skunk Anansie - 100 Ways To Be A Good Girl

I caused a major war just by talking

You flew into a rage, 'cause that's everything you know

Childhood of violence, filled with heartache

I flew into a rage, 'cause that's everything I know

I know one hundred ways to be a good girl

One hundred ways, my willingness to please

I know one hundred ways to be a good girl

Still I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone

I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone

Shielded by unexpected fury

Frightened survivor in my world too shy to see

Softly I spoke, softly I'm dying

Crushed by your power, by my willingness to bleed

I know one hundred ways to be a good girl

One hundred ways, my willingness to please

I know one hundred ways to be a good girl

Still I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone

I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone

Crucify me with isolation

Crucify me inside my private hell

I know one hundred ways to be a good girl

One hundred ways, my willingness to please

I know one hundred ways to be a good girl

Still I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone

I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone

Skunk Anansie - Charity

Why do I sense, benevolence
You stand tall at my great expense
Thick words of gratitude, what a price to pay
Stuck in my throat, I sell every word I say

But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...

Why does your world keep burying
Gorging much deeper, than it's ever been
Rubbing still harder, salt on my hurt
Licking my burns while I grovel in your dirt

But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...
Oh, keeping me down

You pity me with your tasteless gestures
Gratitude for kind
But your bludgeoned, intentioned objectives
Are screwing with my mind, screwing with my mind

But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...

I don't want your charity, oh charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down...

I don't want your, don't want your, don't want your charity
Keeping me down
I don't want your charity
Keeping me down, down
Keeping me down, down, down
Your charity, it's keeping me
Keeping me down

Skunk Anansie - I Can Dream

I'll be your sailor girl
I'll tip my cap to your parade
Life won't be dreary no
I'll be the waves inside your bed

Pain is your beauty
It hurts the vision in our eyes
Your eyes are smiling now
They watch me cry, they watch me die, watch me die

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love, oh love someone else
My saviour, my darling

Your eyes seep through me
You think you hate the way I mince
I'm screwing your dreams now
So cynical at your expense

Oh what a sacrifice
All of my dreams will melt away
Oh who's so special now
No one's more special, more than me, more than me

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love, oh love someone else
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love, oh love someone else

My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
I can dream, I can dream, I can dream, I can dream
I can love, I can love, love love

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love, oh love someone else

I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love love love, I can love love love
I can love, oh love someone else

I can dream, I can love (dream that i'm someone else)
I can dream, love (love, oh love someone else)

My darling, my saviour
My darling (I can dream)
Dream that I'm someone else
My saviour

Skunk Anansie - Weak

Lost in time I can`t count the words
I said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts so unkind
`Cause I wanted you

And now I sit here I`m all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels, deep in war
`Cause I wanted you

Weak as I am, no tears for you
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I`m no ones fool
Weak as I am

So what am I now I'm loves last home
I`m all of the soft words I once owned
If I opened my heart, there`d be no space for air
`Cause I wanted you

In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you
