We came to an agreement in good health
That if no-one would take care of us
We'd be fine by ourselves
It was time to cut the views
Of those who don't deserve our spit
Why is it that we crave the praise
From the people who least deserve it

If you gave us a flower
We'd sit and we'd water it
But instead we watch you weave your webs
And you wait for us to fly into it
You act like you're a strong ant
We all act like we're weak
If only you'd quit trying to cripple
Our dancing feet

(Give and forgive)

Bad kids, bad kids
Slip through your hands like liquid
Bad kids, bad kids
Vanish when you shut your eyelids
They'll vanish...

You, oh you
Had a sad urge to be wanted by fools
Welcoming those that would be
Snoopin' troupin' enveloping your family jewels
You chose to grow your nose
Cause deep down you knew, I knew, you knew, I knew
That I'd have been wrong quicker than you could come

Said I was too good for you
Wake up little Susie
It's bad news when you hear a guy cry
You spilt the beans in jail
Timed it perfectly after your granny died (tut tut tut)
You knew I wouldn't shoot a man when he was down
Well done Pinocchio you told a lie
I wouldn't take advantage of a cut-up heart
Such a vulnerable time, you tell me
I'm so lonely
Won't...

In the valley of the dolls we sleep, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me, of me

Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now I die slow

In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me
Living with identities
That do not belong to me
In my life, I got this far
Now I’m ready for the last hoorah
Dying like a shooting star
In the valley
In the valley
In the valley

Pick a personality for free
When you feel like nobody, body

Born with a void, hard to destroy with love or hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now I die slow

In the valley...

You're hard to hug, tough to talk to
And I never fall asleep, when you're in my bed
All you give me is a heartbeat
I've turned into a statue
And it makes me feel depressed
Cause the only time you open up is when we get undressed

You don't love me, big fucking deal
I'll never tell, you how I feel
You don't love me, not a big deal
I'll never tell you how I feel

It almost feels like a joke to play out the part
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart
You know I'd rather walk alone, than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role.

Sometimes I ignore you so I feel in control
Cause...

American queen is the american dream.
American queen is the american dream.

She is a polish girl in America.
Tall, tanned hot blonde called Anya.
I asked her “Why would you wanna be a Hollywood wife?”
“Because I don’t wanna end up living in a dive on Vine”,
a dive on Vine.

Air hostesses doing gossip magazine crosswords
on a flight to JFK.
39 years old with a mile-high sheen
trying to stimulate a mind
that is slowly starting to decay.
I itch my skin to jump up and say,
“Lady, I know why your thoughts turned grey”.

Hollywood infected your brain
You wanted kissing in the rain.
I've been living in...

I can't break the cycle
Am I just a fool?
Falling down like dominos
Hit by family jewels

Pass it down from kid to kid
The chain will never end
Unless I decide to go to it
Will I see the end?

Oh, don't you find it strange?
Only thing we share is one last name
Did I beat you at your own game?
Typical of me to put us all to shame

Welcome to the family jewels
Coal to diamonds, sold to fools
Welcome to the family jewels
Simmer and suffer, can't keep his cool
I can't keep my cool
I can't keep my cool

Family said that I decided
To live a loveless life
Is it my fault we stay divided
'Cause I've got too much pride
Pass the...

Power and control.
Give a little, get a lot,
That’s just how you are with love.
Give a little, get a lot,
Yeah, you may be good looking,
But you’re not a piece of art.

Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall.
Power and control,
I’m gonna make you fall.

Women and men we are the same,
But love will always be a game,
We give and take a little more,
Eternal game of tug and war.

Think you’re funny, think you’re smart,
Think you’re gonna break my heart.
Think you’re funny, think you’re smart,
Yeah, you may be good looking,
But you’re not a piece of art.

Power and control,
I’m gonna make you...

Don't do love, don't do friends.
I'm only after success.
Don't need a relationship.
I'll never soften my grip.

Don't want cash, don't want car.
Want it fast, want it hard.
Don't need money, don't need fame.
I just wanna make a change.
I just wanna change,
I just wanna change,
I just wanna change,
I just wanna change,
I just wanna change.

I know exactly what I want and who I wanna be.
I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine.
I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy.
Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no

One track mind, one track heart
If I fail, I'll fall apart.
Maybe it is all a test
Cause I feel like I'm the...

"Are You Satisfied?"

I was pulling out my hair
The day I cut the deal
Chemically calm
Was I meant to feel happy
That my life was just about to change

One life pretending to be
The cow that got the cream
Oh, everybody said
Marina is a dreamer
People like to tell you what you're gonna be
It's not my problem if you don't see what I see
And I do not give a damn if you don't believe
My problem, it's my problem
That I never am happy
It's my problem, it's my problem
On how fast I will succeed

Are you satisfied with an average life
Do I need to lie to make my way in life

High achiever don't you see
Baby, nothing comes...

Oh heartbreak’s hard when you don’t have a plastic heart
You sent me in through the cinnamon stars
Cause you tasted so bitter but the bitter was sweet
I’m a lovelorn princess and I’m yours to eat
I gave you too much,
Gave you too much to touch
Just the hardcore iron through the velvet glove
You were a lullaby and you had me blind
And now I laugh cause you’re the one whose being left behind
I see you cry

Now that the shoe’s on the other foot

Now that the shoe’s on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Wakin’ everybody in the neighborhood
Tellin’ everybody that I’m no good...

I have let you melt me down
Into a plastic rainbow
And I have left myself to hang
In a halloween sky

I let you tattoo a frown
Onto a face of white snow
Now I see footprints of a man
Running through my eyes

Do I despise these perfect lies
I tell myself each night and day
Go kiss by blackened heart goodbye
I'm running out of things to play

Hey, see I need to forget
That I've become a plastic rainbow
And I'm melting in the sun
And I have fallen from the sky
In a million multi-coloured lies

I've had enough of your ideals, ideals yeah

I'm gonna break her like a Barbie Doll
Push her face down in the dirt
Blue Maybelline...

Off she trots to the psychiatric hospit...
All she's got is the memory of a girl that used to laugh a lot
Now she's very angry 'cause they say she's lost the plot
And she's laughing in the mirror at her paper dress
Because she has a troubled mind, a troubled mind

Rosie Black, she walked up in here wired up on crack
It's for the kids who have low self esteem
They've got no concept of reality
Living their lives inside a fantasy
Coz they have troubled minds, troubled minds

Wipe the white golden dust into these broken hands
Must depend on a friend that will understand
Like the glitter making love to the gleam...

You bought a star in the sky tonight
Because your life is dark and it needs some light
You named it after me, but I’m not yours to keep
Because you’ll never see, that the stars are free

Oh we don’t own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if you don’t know that by now
Then you don’t know me that well

All my life I’ve been so lonely
All in the name of being holy
Still, you’d like to think you know me
You keep buyin’ stars
And you could buy up all of the stars,
But it wouldn’t change who you are
You’re still living life in the dark
It’s just who you are
It’s just who you are

You bought...

We've broken up and now I regret it
I said goodbye when I shouldn't have said it
I even cried but I never meant it
And I don't know why but I can't forget it, forget it

Gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self esteem
Gimme good and pure, what you waiting for?
Gimme everything, all your heart can bring
Something good and true
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
Gimme, gimme

Gimme one more night
One last goodbye
Let's do it one last time
Let's do it one last time
One more time

No, I don't love you
No, I don't care
I just want to be held when I'm scared
And all I want...

I'm embarrassed to confess
I am a jealous girlfriend
I want you to belong to me
But I think they call that jealousy

I never say a word
In case I come off needy
I never say a word
Leave you before you leave me

What is taking over me? Jealousy
A bubbling inside of me? It's jealousy
Controlling me, it's coming after me
It's so easy, when you don't belong to me

Is it you or is it me
When you talk about beauty
Makes me feel so ugly
But I think that they call that jealousy

I never say a word
In case I come off needy
I never say a word
Leave you before you leave me

What is taking over me? Jealousy
A bubbling inside of...

I wanna be immortal
Like a God in the sky
I wanna be a silk flower
Like I'm never gonna die
I wanna live forever
Forever in your heart
And we'll always be together
From the end to the start

That's what we do it for
To reserve a place
It's just another part of the human race
That's what we do it for
To reserve a space
In history, it's just
Part of the human race, race
(Race, race, race, race, race, race)

I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The...

I feel like a substitute stittin' on the sideline,
Clicking every single finger waiting for the right time,
I feel like a substitute sitting pretty in my prime,
I'm about to play the game 'cause I'm running out of time

[CHORUS:]
Drop your knees to the floor,
Hands to the sky,
Give a round of applause for the great Miss Y
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here

Only to feel like nobody and Miss Y am I here?
I walked all night long in the dark just to be standing here
Only to feel like nobody and Miss Y am I here?
and the lights, they, get stronger the longer that you have to wait,
for...

One track mind, like a goldfish
Stuck inside my petri dish.
I can't breathe and I can't smile.
This better be worth my while.

I feel numb most of the time.
The lower I get the higher
I'll climb and I will wonder why
I get dark only
To shine.
Looking for the golden light,
Oh, it's a reasonable sacrifice.

Burn, burn, burn bright.

Forgo families,forgo friends,
That's how it started and how it ends.
I can't open up and cry
Cause I've been silent all my life.

I feel numb most of the time.
The lower I get the higher
I'll climb and I will wonder why
I get dark only
To shine.
Looking for the golden light,
Oh, it's a reasonable...

Don't wanna talk anymore
I'm obsessed with silence
I go home and I lock my door
I can hear the sirens

I see buildings and bars from the window
And I listen to the wind blow
I see people and cars covered in gold
And I'm happy to be on my own

Hard like a rock, cold like stone
White like a diamond, black like coal
Cut like a jewel, yeah I repair
Myself when you're not there

Solitaire
Something you consider rare
I don't wanna be compared
With that cheap shimmer and glitter
Solitaire

I'm in love with the ice-blue, gray skies of England
I'll admit, all I wanna do is get drunk and silent
Watch my life unfold all around...

Sunday, wake up, give me a cigarette.
Last night's love affair is looking vulnerable in my bed
Silk sheet, blue dawn, Colgate, tongue warm
Won't you quit your crying? I can't sleep
One minute I'm a little sweetheart
And next minute you are an absolute creep

We've got obsessions
I want to wipe out all the sad ideas that come to me when I am holding you
We've got obsessions
All you ever think about are sick ideas involving me, involving you

Supermarket, oh what packet of crackers to pick?
They're all the same, one brand, one name, but really they're not
Look, look, just choose something quick
People are staring,...
