But its blood from broken hearts that write the words to every song
a beautific smile, for all the sinners

Verse
You might wanna stick one on his nose,
Ram his teeth down his (drug cold arm??)
and nowhere else to go,
In the Morning theres a buzz of flies,
Between the Pillows and the Skies that break into your eyes,
Through the Looking Glass inbetween your thighs,
Ah, its really no small surprise,
How it goes straight down the rabbit hole,
There it goes
Chorus
I've been meaning to tell you,
A set of mental things,
that occured to me,
I've been waiting to show you,
All a set of photographs,
make you laugh and smile,
He's got a Scottish Fiver up his nose,
oh, a set of mental things, (of sentimental things?)
That occured to me
I was wanting to show you,
All a set of photographs,
But you came and went too fast,
In the Morning theres a buzz of flies,
Break into your eyes,
Through the Looking Glass inbetween your thighs,

forget-me-nots bloom on this day then
but they wither with age

9. Do you know me
Intro Dm F C
Dm F C Dm F C
Do you know me? I don't think so!
Do you know me? I don't think so!
You romanticize the dark and gloomy past
Trying to escape from the underclass
You darkened the bright and beautiful day
You're breaking my heart in every way
Gm A
And tell me everything is dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine
Dm F C
I took you in and you stole from me
But you still got everything I need
You're walking so tall, you're looking so mean
You're walking so tall, you're looking so mean
But you tell me everything is dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine
(I've heard a few versions where they put in another verse here but I can't
remember the lyrics. Sometimes they play it without the extra verse.)
Do you know me? I don't think so!
Do you know me? I don't think so!
You romanticize the dark and gloomy past
Trying to escape from the upper class
You darkened the bright and beautiful day
You're fucking up my head in every way
And tell me everything's dandy and fine
You're no friend of mine

Slapped by that slappeer and how we all laughed
(But you laughed the loudest in 99)

rolling round the playground,
"cheeky" you'd say and we all fell around,
rolling round the playground
