The Vaccines - Discount De Kooning (Last One Standing)

maybe we should on dancing
maybe we should on dancing
i feel like something good is gonna happen
don't care if i'm the last one standing

i've been thinking about all the times you used to fill my streets
until i got deserted like i'm boarded up with nowhere to eat
maybe i'm looking for a willem de kooning at the discount store
i would buy anything, try anything, take anything to feel some more
its gonna eat me up
its gonna eat me up

maybe we should on dancing
maybe we should on dancing
i feel like something good is gonna happen
don't care if i'm the last one standing

so maybe we should on dancing
maybe we should on dancing
i feel like something good is gonna happen
don't care if i'm the last one standing
even if the song is all gone and it's the end of the world
no nothing's gonna stop us, gonna stop us now
so we should on dancing
maybe we should on dancing on and on

started filling up cracks in the calendar with discontent
double checking junk to see where the apologies went
the best thing that i had since records began
i would do anything, take anything, i'm so machiavellian
its gonna eat me up
its gonna eat me up

don't know what i'll do now my luck is all spent
and i wish i had you here, tell me what it all meant,
to get to grips
serenading the apocalypse

maybe we should on dancing
maybe we should on dancing
i feel like something good is gonna happen
don't care if i'm the last one standing

i've tried to move on but nothing compares
i'm ready for anything, i'm not going anywhere
i'm playing it cool but i'm so damn scared
and i'm ready for anything i'm not going anywhere

maybe we should on dancing
maybe we should on dancing
i feel like something good is gonna happen
don't care if i'm the last one standing

The Vaccines - The Dreamer

I was never gonna leave you twisted
I was never gonna leave you there, yeah
With your mother and a child that I didn't wanna know
We were bleeding out our beautiful noses
We were bleeding on our beautiful clothes
We were weaving in and out of Edgar Allan Poe, oh-oh-oh

Somewhere, someone must have been watching
Hey there, I wish somebody was watching us

I know the night has got two faces
There's one that runs and one that chases
But if it caught you in between
Then I would wait for you in dreams
Right at the edges of your answers
Somewhere underneath your laughter
And if you wanna know what it all means
Then I am here for you in dreams

I was always gonna be your ending
I was always gonna meet you there, yeah
At the centre of attention right before close
I was managing your expectations
On a pick-up full of pink carnations
You were begging me to cure the sickness of a rose, oh-oh-oh

Somewhere, someone must have been watching
Hey there, do you wish somebody was watching us?

I know the night has got two faces
There's one that runs and one that chases
But if it caught you in between
Then I would wait for you in dreams
Right at the edges of your answers
Somewhere underneath your laughter
And if you wanna know what it all means
Then I am here for you in dreams

I know the night has got two faces
There's one that runs and one that chases
But if it caught you in between
Then I would wait for you in dreams
Right at the edges of your answers
Somewhere underneath your laughter
And if you wanna know what it all means
Then I am here for you in dreams

The Vaccines - Sometimes, I Swear

i’m caught in the good fight
i start to feel small
when the gravity hits me
i’ve got nowhere to fall

i’ve got nowhere at all

sometimes, i swear, it feels like i don’t belong anywhere
i swear, sometimes, it feels like i don’t belong anywhere
sometimes, i swear
sometimes i don’t belong anywhere

you cant keep your day job
and you, you can’t find your feet
say your best work’s behind you
still you hate looking weak

more gods than the greeks

The Vaccines - Another Nightmare

You announced to the stadium that
You knew that you were leaving and you'd never come back
Even for love
It wasn't enough
And now you're living by whatever you've read
If you wanted to escape then you should have just said
"Go to Rome for the week"
'Cause you never went there with me

I was trying to smile
But got blood on the tiles
It was taken away with the evidence
I thought I was awake
Must have been a mistake
Now you've run out of patience

I don't wanna wait a year to feel better
Taking everything to forget ya
Living in echoes so mellow
Another nightmare
I don't want the hate and anger they gave me
All the pills and Percocets daily
Numbing and running to nothing
Just another nightmare

If I ran then I didn't get far
Just a little plus one to the really big star
Mothering me
Begging you not to leave
Roll your eyes and you call me Bruce Wayne
Say with all my years of therapy I should be Mark Twain
Will I know when I'm dead
If you beckon me back to bed?

I was trying to smile
But got blood on the tiles
It was taken away with the evidence
Shouldn't talk about that
Fell asleep on your lap
As you ran out of patience

I don't wanna wait a year to feel better
Taking everything to forget ya
Living in echoes so mellow
Another nightmare
I don't want the hate and anger they gave me
All the pills and Percocets daily
Numbing and running to nothing
Just another nightmare

They don't have to look like you do if they know

I don't wanna wait a year to feel better
Taking everything to forget ya
Living in echoes so mellow
Another nightmare
I don't want the hate and anger they gave me
All the pills and Percocets daily
Numbing and running to nothing
Just another nightmare
