| Give me strength, give me reason
|
| Five me face, give me feelings
|
| Give me breathing space, give me ceilings stared at wondering when you’re
|
| leaving
|
| Give me softness, give me seasons changing
|
| Give me freezing hands in pockets. |
| Needing hands but your hands never hold back
|
| Still, I don’t hold back
|
| Give me something, give me nothing
|
| Give me stature, give me calling
|
| Give me kisses falling down like pouring rain but it’s all in vain
|
| Give me one more morning
|
| Give me something good that don’t get boring
|
| Y’know, like flesh for adoring, breath for the drawing, booze for the pouring
|
| Pause — Applauding…
|
| Give me sanction, give me closure
|
| Give me back my life, give over
|
| Give me a body that doesn’t hurt and a mind that isn’t about to desert me
|
| Give me 30 fags and a dirty bag of drugs and a drink — I’m thirsty
|
| Give me a minute and I’ll make an excuse for doing them things that hurt me
|
| Give me the crowd, now sit and observe me
|
| Give me the mic and tell me they heard me
|
| Give me a driver to swerve me about when the day is too short and my heart
|
| falls out of its fortress
|
| Give me them trumpets, give me them torches burning, give me concern
|
| Give me nauseas gurning faces and them lessons I can’t learn
|
| Look, I give it all when I’m giving
|
| I give it all when I know that I am living
|
| I give heart, I give love, I give blood and guts but I don’t give up
|
| Give what you get. |
| I can live with regret. |
| I’ll give it all night;
|
| Don’t stay too long though
|
| Give me a smile, we can kiss for a while — I will fall in love with you after
|
| you’ve gone though
|
| That’s the truth of it
|
| The beauty and brute of it
|
| It’s the absolute of it, which is a shame
|
| Give me a morning I wake up and don’t feel sick and regretful, headful of shame
|
| I reach for a pencil try and explain what can’t be explained
|
| Ah, just give me the same as what she’s having
|
| She looks happy, she looks carefree —
|
| Oh no, wait a minute she looks scary, and she looks like she can’t bear me. |
| Ah
|
| Give me water then, give me sleep, give me food to eat that doesn’t make me weak
|
| Nah, fuck that just give me a box of wine, coz every face is yours but your
|
| face ain’t mine
|
| I need to get stern with myself. |
| I got high hopes. |
| I got wet eyes and a dry
|
| throat and a whole heap of rhymes that I wrote
|
| A whole heap of rhymes that I wrote, that I wrote
|
| I need to get stern with myself, I got high hopes
|
| A whole heap of rhymes that I wrote, that I wrote
|
| Give me time- oh no, shit give me people to talk to
|
| I’m going mad, weak willed, keep still, breathe very quietly
|
| I need recovery, somebody cuddle me. |
| Give me time on my own, no shit
|
| Give me people to talk to coz I’m going mad and I’m weak willed.
|
| Keep still breathe very quietly
|
| I need recovery. |
| Look, I’ve been awake all night just writing
|
| Sick of myself but still fighting the urge to get rid of myself,
|
| so exposed that I’ve hidden myself
|
| I can’t feel myself, look I’ve been awake all night just writing
|
| Sick of myself fighting the urge to get rid of myself, I can’t stop giving
|
| myself a hard time
|
| Can’t stop giving. |
| Can’t stop taking
|
| I get lost in a give-take
|
| Sunrise, your eyes are a cliff face, I fall off every morning
|
| I’m appalling, calm me down, give me kind words, put your arms around me,
|
| your heartbeat drowned mine out since you found me
|
| Give me some space. |
| No. Come here crowd me
|
| I need time on my own, oh no- I need people. |
| Your heartbeat drowned mine out
|
| since you found me
|
| I NEED TIME ON MY OWN, oh no- I need people, so give me some space
|
| Give me some space
|
| Heartbeat drowned mine out since you found me
|
| So give me some space, give me some space
|
| Give me some space, give me some space
|
| Give me some…
|
| Come here! |
