Clever Song Lyrics

[kags]

Kirsty MacColl said 'I put you on a pedestal, you put me on the pill' - so simple yet pure genius! Which song lyrics make you think 'I wish I had written that'

[WaldoMcFroog]

Beyond You - Words by Steve Hogarth



If you were a baby I would take you and run

I could hide you in the folds of my heart

There's a truth in the madness that I can't get beyond

And a fever that won't leave me alone

I don't want my heart

Don't want my head

Don't want my friends

Don't want my bed

I can't live with myself

I can't live with myself

Can't take no help

I try to want to

But I can't get beyond you




I will stare from the window

At the shapes in the rain

As the space between us drives me insane



I can't live with myself

I can't live with myself

Can't take no help

Don't want no one else




If I was a child

I would refuse to leave

I would sit down on the street

Kick my legs and scream



I'm not much of a man

But I know how I am

I know this won't fade away

I will pretend and be strong

But I wonder where I belong




And the feeling comes in waves

A hole in my body, aching

Like a heart dying

A soul crying

Exhausted and insecure

Took all you have and I still want more

So I reach out to hold you

But all I do is hurt you

Hurt you



I can't live with myself

I can't live with myself

Can't take no help

I try to want to

But I can't get beyond you




If I was a child I would take you and run

And I say I don't know... But I know

And I say I'll go




You just spent the whole day

Driving away

Another fabulous song from Kirsty McColl but no idea if she wrote it - I like to think she did... Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts Can make you feel nothing at all, They'll never remember and they'll never mind If you're counting the cracks on the wall They're quick and they're greedy They never feel guilty They don't know the meaning of hurt The boots just go back on The socks that hasd stayed on The next time they see you they treat you like dirt The next time they treat you like dirt So don't come the cowboy with me sunny Jim I know lots of those and you're not one of them There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in and, you won't come the cowboy with me...
