Skunk Anansie - Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)

I hope you're feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all, it seems
I wonder what you're doin' now
I wonder if you think of me at all
Do you still play the same moves now?
Or are those special moods for someone else?
I hope you're feeling happy now

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight

Does laughter still discover you?
I see through all the smiles that look so right
Do you still have the same friends now
To smoke away your problems and your life?
Oh how do you remember me?
The one that made you laugh until you cried
I hope you're feeling happy now

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight, want you

Oh, no
Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight, want you

Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight, want you

I wonder what you're doing now
I hope you're feeling happy now
I wonder what you're doing now
I hope you're feeling happy now

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 - God Loves Only You

His men have taken all the jewels you gave him

Your sweatin', shakin' 'cause your god loves only you

I am one again, I am one again

I am born again, I am born again

Your eyes shine brighter, he takes you higher

The dawn is breaking over girls half naked

Your soul is taken 'cause your god loves only you

I am one again, I am one again

I am born again, I am born again

Your eyes shine brighter, he takes you higher

Our world is changing 'cause your god loves only you

'Cause your god loves only you

Skunk Anansie - Charlie Big Potato

I awake

From blood thick dreams

Washing blame

From my knees

Softly done

So secretly

I'm awake

As charlie sleeps

A lone brother, a lone sister

A home cover, alone

I awake

Dry the scream

Spit the vile breath

Till my tongue bleeds

Thinks it's all gone

Famously

Broke the hard girl

Good to please

Tell it like it is

Tell it like it is

Tell the sordid truth

Tell them

Tell it like it is

Tell them

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 - Brazen (Weep)

I called you brazen
Called you whore right to your face
And watched you silently
And publicly disgraced
I didn't notice
When you strengthened like a vice
That you were trembling
And burned beneath the ice

Ooh, ooh

Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside
Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside

Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah

You said a prayer
And I betrayed you with a kiss
You never realized
That all had come to this
So keep your dignity
Don't throw it all to waste
Stronger feelings
Than you've ever learned to face

Ooh, ooh

Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside
Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside

Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah
Oooooh

Why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside
Oh why don't you weep
When I hurt you?
Why don't you weep
When I cut you?
You don't bleed
And the anger builds up inside

Oooh
(Nah nah nah nah nah)
Why don't you weep?
Why don't you weep?
Why don't you weep?
Why don't you weep?
Why don't you weep?
Why don't you weep?

Weep
Weep
Weep

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 - You're Too Expansive For Me

I feel apprehension.
And feeling it hard.
You got me in troubles.
They're kicking my heart.
I followed the heat.
Right into your bed.
Now everyone hates me.
I might as well be dead.

Tell me how.
Tell me how to breathe.
When your arms.
Hold me too tightly
You're too expensive for me.
I'd have to break all ties for you.
Tell me how.
To fall out of love with you

Your face is illegal.
Your talk is just class.
You kiss me with vengeance.
To sweet to unmask
Still all of our issues.
Won't smother in bed.
So our little devils.
Run riot instead.

Tell me how.
Tell me how to breathe.
When your arms.
Hold me too tightly
You're too expensive for me.
I'd have to break all ties for you.
Tell me how.
To fall out of love with you

Skunk Anansie - Good Things Don't Always Come To You

Though you're lost in me
You have to see
When things ain't right
Funny memories
Won't fill this need
When things ain't right

Safe mistakes
I have made
Get burnt up inside my head
Fatal sees
But never believes
The love that it saved wants death

Friends die hard
But lovers conceive
The vibe that they hold will please
Smothered by
Sexual needs
The fade as the days go by

Some things
Don't go as you want them to
Good things
They don't always come to you

Skunk Anansie - Infidelity (Only You)

Lost infidelity
We've never said a word
So black, and white you see
It's all the lies we've heard

In my mind nothing makes sense
I'm nothing you can't have
Cracked up to disagree
It's all we've ever had

You, only you, only you
Only you can't be the one
Only you, only you
Only you can't be the one

Your secret smile so quaint
In memories foretold
Laughing so viciously
Your conscience has been sold

In my face there's no more joy
I'm all that I should be, be, be
Cracked infidelity
That's all you are too me

You, only you, only you
Only you can't be the one
Only you, only you
Only you can't be the one
Be the one
Be the one
Be the one
Oh

We don't talk anymore
We don't talk anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care

You, only you, only you
Only you can't be the one
Only you, only you
Only you can't be the one
Only you, only you
Only you can't be the one
Only you, only you
Only you can't be the one

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

Skunk Anansie - Twisted (Everyday Hurts)

I cried on my blood day
There was nothing that I
Could hold on to
Just a line could have helped
Remind me of you, of you

I screamed till the blood came
I was living in a cloud of hope
Lover's kiss then they make a wish
To the end, they pretend

Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts

I cried in the sunlight
Would I fake all the times I loved you
Just to play in a game of twisted with you
With you
I need to believe you
Sacrificed all the lies we made up
How we kissed then we made our wish
to the end, to the end

Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts

Time made me confide in you
So contrived were the words you sold me
Now nothing can swallow
The feeling so shallow inside

Skunk Anansie - My Love Will Fall

Retain.
Distrust.
Resign.
Your lust.
Your call.
These cuts.
Run through.
My guts.
My love, I feel the fall, again.
My love, I feel the pull.
March on.
Freak out.
Release.
Your doubts.
Resist.
Reborn.
I can't.
Move on.
My love, I feel the fall, again.
My love, I feel the pull.

You cannot win.
I curse my love for you.
I curse my love for you.
I curse my love for you.
I curse my love.

I crave.
Your words.
That spill.
And hurt.
My bones.
My soul.
I'll burn.
Them all.

Begin.
Again.
Revive.
The dead.
All quiet.
All calm.
Your gain.
Has gone.
My love, I feel the fall, again.
My love, I feel the pull.

Skunk Anansie - I'm Not Afraid

Another useless fight
Saddened words ring true
Leaving like a saint
Still clouds follow you

I've seen behind the wall of words
You are sneaky with the facts
Look who's hiding now
Now I've seen through cracks

Still I'm not afraid
Not so dead afraid
And I'm not afraid
Now you've all the light

Guilt is all you are
Your friends for days and eternal nights
Solid head for life
Craving all this might

Still I'm not afraid
Not so dead afraid
And I'm not afraid
Now you've all the light

Now you've all the light
Still I feel you by my side

Nothing's useless now
Friends have always time to try
The safest hands hold me
Now I hold the love

Still I'm not afraid
Not so dead afraid
And I'm not afraid
Now you've all the light

And I'm not afraid
Not so dead afraid
And I'm not afraid
Now you've all the light

I've seen you with all the light
Now you've all the light
Seen you with all the light

Skunk Anansie - Over the love

You pretend the spell has broken
Goods were spoilt from the start
No complaints I release my claim on your heart

Now I can forget you cos I'm over the love
Karma can protect you cos I'm over the fun
I needed the shame, I needed the pain
I need to feel nothing for you
Now I can forget you cos I'm done

You can bite, the fist that feeds you
Lose your fight with some scars
You defend spilling blood and rain let it ride...right

Now I can forget you cos I'm over the love
Karma can protect you cos I'm over the fun
I needed the shame, I needed the pain
I need to feel nothing for you
Now I can forget you cos I'm done

You throw it all away
You throw it all away

Now I can forget you cos I'm over the love
Karma can protect you cos I'm over the fun
I needed the shame, I needed the pain
I need to feel nothing for you
Now I can forget you cos I'm done

Skunk Anansie - You'll Follow Me Down

Survived, tonight
I may be going down
Cos everything goes round too tight, tonight
And as you watch me crawl
You stand for more

And your panic stricken
Blood will thicken up, tonight

Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down

Survive, tonight
I see your head's exposed
So we shall kill constructive might
It's allright
As your emotions fool you
My strong will rule

And your panic stricken
Blood will thicken up, tonight

Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down

I won't feel restraint
Watching you close sense down
I can't compensate
That's more than i've got to give

And your panic stricken
Blood will thicken up, tonight

Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
