I've Been Expecting You
Album - 26 ottobre 1998 - Debaser id 19100

My breath smells of a thousand fags
And when I'm drunk I dance like me Dad
I've started to dress a bit like him
Early morning when I wake up
I look like Kiss but without the make up
And that's a good line to take it to the bridge

And you know and you know
'Coz my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

My bed's full of takeaways and fantasies
Of easy lays
The pause buttons broke on my video
And is this real coz I feel fake
Oprah Winfrey Rikki Lake
Teach me things I don't need to know

And you know and you know
'Coz my life's a mess
And it's starting to show so before
I'm old I'll confess
You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

If I did it all again I'd be a nun
The rain was never cold when I was young
I'm still young we're still young
Life's too short to be afraid
Step inside the sun

And you know and you know
'Cos my life's a mess
And I'm trying to grow

You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

You think that I'm strong you're wrong
You're wrong
I'll sing my song my song my song

Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame

Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame

Life's too short to be afraid
So take a pill to numb the pain
You don't have to take the blame

Tell me a story
Where we all change
And we'd live our lives together
And not enstranged

I didn't lose my mind it was
Mine to give away
Couldn't stay to watch me cry
You didn't have the time
So I softly slip away...

No regrets they don't work
No regrets they only hurt
Sing me a love song
Drop me a line
Suppose it's just a point of view
But they tell me I'm doing fine

I know from the outside
(Some people said)
We looked good for eachother
Felt things were going wrong
When you didn't like my mother

I don't want to hate
But that's all you've left me with
A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy
Of how we all could live

No regrets they don't work
No regrets now, they only hurt
(We've been told you stay up late)
I know they're still talking
(You're far too short to carry weight)
The demons in your head
(Return the videos they're late)
If I could just stop hating you
(Goodbye)
I'd feel sorry for us instead

Remember the photographs insane
The ones where we all laugh so lame
We were having the time of our lives
Well thank you, it was a real blast

No regrets, they don't work
No regrets, they only hurt
(We've been told you stay up late)
Write me a love song
(You're far too short to carry weight)
Drop me a line
(Return the videos they're late)
Suppose it's just a point of view
(Goodbye)
But they tell me I'm doing fine

Everything I wanted to be
Everytime I walked away
Everytime you told me to leave
I just wanted to stay
Everytime you looked at me
And everytime you smiled
I felt so vacant you treat me like a child
I loved the way we used to laugh
I loved the way we used to smile
Often I sit down and think of you for a while
And then it passes me by
And I think of someone else instead
I guess the love we once had
Is officially
Dead!

We've got stars directing our fate
And we're praying it's not too late
Millennium

Some say that we are players,
some say that we are pawns,
but we've been makin' money since the day that we were born,
got to slow down(slow down),
'cause we're low down

Run around in circles
live a life of solitude
'Till we find ourselves a partner
Someone to relate to
Then we'll slow down, before we fall down

We've got stars directing our fate
And we're praying it's not too late
'Cause we know we're falling from grace
Millennium

Live for liposuction, detox for your rent
Overdose for Christmas and give it up for Lent
My friends are all so cynical
Refuse to keep the faith
We all enjoy the madness
'Cause we know we're gonna fade away.

We've got stars directing our fate
And we're praying it's not too late
'cause we know we're falling from grace
Millennium

Come and have a go
If you think you are hard enough
Come and have a go
If you think you are hard enough
Millennium
Millennium

We've got stars directing our fate
And we're praying it's not too late
'Cause we know we're falling from grace
Millennium

(Sometimes you know)

And when we come we always come too late
I often think that we were born to hate
Get up and see the sarcasm in my eyes.

And when we come we always come too late
I often think that we were born to hate
Get up and see the sarcasm in my eyes.

We've got stars directing our fate (Millennium)
And we're praying it's not too late (Millennium)
'Cause we know we're falling from grace (Millennium)

(And we won't stop)

We've got stars directing our fate
And we're praying it's not too late
'Cause we know we're falling from grace
Millennium

(Repeat to fade)

Sometimes I feel like I am
Sailing on a sunken dream
I try to read the signs
But don't know what they mean
I know when I'm with you
I'm a rich man baby

Grace, I'm not yet born
Come embrace
A soul that's torn

I have got so much to give you
My heart is starved of love
In these radio days
I try to listen hard
To what my conscience says
I know I've sold my soul
I'm going to earn it back now

Grace, I'm not yet born
Come embrace
A soul that's torn

I have got so much to give you
Now that you believe in me

We can fly away
Somewhere safe
I know that you will always be
Giving me more then you take
I know when I'm with you
I'm a rich man baby

Grace, I'm not yet born
Come embrace
A soul that's torn
Grace, it can mend if you make my heart
Your friend
Grace (x4)

Oo we've got a live one, featherweight icon
Heroes let 'im down so he sleeps with the
Light on
And there's nothin' left to do but kneel down and Pray
Sail away with Caesar if you're a non believer
Everybody gets high if you're a
Diamond geezer
It's the devil that needs ya so go out and play

Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her you trouble her

*Chorus*
Jesus in a camper van He said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes
Especially when he goes around
Saying I am the way

And now it's four in the mornin' yes yes y'all in
No one can shoot but everybody's scoring
Trust me it's boring get down and pray

They told you not to meddle with the bass and
The treble
There's dust on your needle and you think that You're a rebel
You're Evel Knievel so get down and pray
Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her you trouble her

*repeat chorus*
I am the way, I am the way, I am the way
I am the way
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am the way

Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes

*repeat*

Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her
Blame yourself it's easier
There's no need to trouble her

Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes

*chorus*

Jesus in a camper van he said sorry to
Leave you but I've done all I can
I suppose even the son of God
Gets it hard sometimes

repeat

Know no fear I'll still be here tomorrow
Bend my ear I'm not gonna go away
You are love so why do you shed a tear
Know no fear you will see heaven from here

I'll shelter to you make it alright to cry
And you'll help too cos the faith in myself has run dry
We are love and I just wanna hold you near
Know no fear we will see heaven from here

I see real love in your eyes
And it fills me up when you start to cry

I just wanna hold you near
We will see heaven from here

Well it all seems out of reach
I will take the blame if it keeps the peace

My shelf life's short. Wish they'd make it more easy to follow
And I've been caught with nothing but love on my mind
We are love don't let it fall on deaf ears
Now it's clear we have seen heaven from here

Are you cut up or do you easily forget ?
Are you still around, why haven't you managed to die yet ?
You could prop up the bar in hell
How do you sleep, you've never loved
Why was I never good enough ?
You thought you'd leave me falling forever
Karma killer
Needless to say, I guess you know I hate you
You're so full of sin even the devil rates you
I hope you choke on your Bacardi and Coke
How do you breathe, why don't you cry ?
How come you never ask me why ?
You're not a man, stand and deliver
Karma killer
How do you sleep, you've never loved
Why was I never good enough ?
You thought you'd leave me falling forever
Karma killer, karma killer
Karma killer, karma killer
I hope you choke on your Bacardi and Coke
Look what you didn't take from me
Look what you didn't take from me
Look what you didn't take from me
Look what you didn't take from me
No no no no no no no no no no no no
(I don't need to take revenge cos they're coming to get you)
No no no no no no no no no no no no
(There's no hope for you my friend cos they're coming to get you)
Karma killer
Karma killer
Karma killer...............................

I was her she was me
We were one we were free
And if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

We were young we were wrong
We were fine all along
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
When you get to where you wanna go
And you know the things you wanna know
You're smiling
When you said what you wanna say
And you know the way you wanna play
Yeah
You'll be so high you'll be flying

Though the sea will be strong
I know we'll carry on
'Cos if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

When you get to where you wanna go
And you know the things you wanna know
You're smiling

When you said what you wanna say
And you know the way you wanna say it
You'll be so high you'll be flying

I was her she was me
We were one we were free
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
Yeah she's the one

If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
She's the one

If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
She's the one

If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
