THE WILDHEARTS LYRICS

1. I Wanna Go Where The People Go

[Ginger]

aaaaaaaahhh...
out of the misery {(hup, hup, hup, hup!)} to wash my soul
out of the ground with a new eight count I never came to Rock 'n' Roll
check in the mirror, and I don't mind
same old cracks in the face and glass a-just a little more defined
saw the mike in the distance, avoiding the business
and me? in time - let it shine, let it shine

well...
I wanna go where the people go, yeah [x4]
take me there, anywhere, just so long as there's an atmosphere we'll be
round, round, round
come on down, we all went down...

show me a hero of head and heart
rid of the stars and the blah-blah-blahs would be a worthy way to start
greater the cliches that go round and around
I wanna be where the (cunts/****s) like me are buried six feet underground

if pride is a memory, is nobody angry?
and me? in time - let it shine, let it shine

well...
I wanna go where the people go, yeah [x4]
take me there, anywhere, just so long as there's an atmosphere we'll be
round, round, round
come on down, we all went down...
well...

well [x6]
I wanna go where the people go, yeah [x4]
take me there, anywhere, just so long as there's an atmosphere we'll be
round, round, round
come on down, we all went down...
we went down [x3]
we all went down, we went down
we all went down, hey!

2. V-Day

[Ginger]

gift given time, gift given time open to changes in bearing
press covered lies, press covered hearsay, conjecture as detail
set image plan, set image plan owing to rank in the scene

well I'll try, I guess, I'll never be affected like a bigshot
I'll never get the money that they got, and I'll be smiling much longer
and I'll try to see the one last theory on starlust, I'll dine on water and pie-crust
I'll make some sense if it kills me, and I'll be smiling on (V-Day)

tight little line, keep weak and smile, you could be part of the dream, boys
ten second span, ten second stay, rope in and wheel out around you
forgotten pride, stuck making a meal out of a smile and a hairstyle

well I'll try, I guess, I'll never be affected like a bigshot
I'll never get the money that they got, and I'll be smiling much longer
and I'll try to see the one last theory on starlust, I'll dine on water and pie-crust
I'll make some sense if it kills me, and I'll be smiling on (V-Day)

gift given time, victory is mine, merit and worth, keeping still, keeping strong
covered past, sowing rage, deaden pain, give a shit, zero one, breakdown, flatline

well I'll try, I guess, I'll never be affected like a bigshot
I'll never get the money that they got, and I'll be smiling much longer
and I'll try to see the one last theory on starlust, I'll dine on water and pie-crust
I'll make some sense if it kills me, and I'll be smiling on (V-Day)

and I'll be smiling on V-Day [x3]
and I'll be smiling on...

3. Just In Lust

[Ginger]

how you been? it's been awhile, I heard you found someone to make you smile
stick around, you got a pen? it's just so great to see your face again
a-take a chair, pull up a glass, do you remember when I saw you last?
things have changed, and no regret, I'm glad we got to share a little etiquette

one of these days in a classical way I was just in lust with you
shutting out fire where the flame of two lie I was just in lust with you
and in the passion that plays in a chemical haze I was just in lust with you

I know you felt it too

'cos I miss you, but not that much, we only shared a little human touch
nothing wrong or impolite - you're acting like pleasures got a copyright
so so so so backtrack, get the record straight, we only had a day to intimate
no one signed on the dotted line, we never said there'd ever be a second time

one of these days in a classical way I was just in lust with you
shutting out fire where the flame of two lie I was just in lust with you
and in the passion that plays in a chemical haze I was just in lust with you
you know I felt it too

so why the worry, so why the guilt, huh? (o-o) so why (o-o) deny a night under the quilt?
so we were lonely, so we agreed: we only did it for the company

things is wrong and things is right, things got a way of changing overnight
what's so wrong in turning on? instead of being alone when the chances are gone

'cos it was...
one of these days in a classical way I was just in lust with you
shutting out fire where the flame of two lie I was just in lust with you
and in the passion that plays in a chemical haze I was just in lust with you
d'you know, 'cos you, you felt it too

4. Baby Strange

[Ginger]

ba-... [x8]
baby strange, what does it take to love you?
baby strange, what does it take to loathe you?
stuck in occasions unfinished and severed, I'm dead with my eyes open wide
heaven above you, tired and lonely, I'm terrified
but in an ideal world there'd be a decent conversation and dignified
unlike the arsehole lovers with the blackmail rules of seizure or suicide,
they lied

5. Nita Nitro

[Ginger]

well I pushed on that button but that button was on too tight - right!
that kind of bull shines morning, noon and night
then, I get to see her face again, well that sweet Nita Nitro, she's locos tambien
should I go? should I stay? should I have another try? why?
don't try rules 'cos they do not apply
then, well I get a message from a friend, (well) that sweet Nita Nitro,
she's locos tambien

Nita Nitro say goodbye to everything we knew
'cos I don't feel like crying (oo-oo-ooo-oo) and though I may stop trying
Nita Nitro say goodbye to all that we held true
say goodbye to the Rock and Rolls and welcome to the Blues
that you swore you'd never show Nita Nitro (woo-oo-ooo), Nita Nitro
(woo-ooo)

well there is nothing like a person who reminds you of yourself
if you wish you were anybody else
then, when you get all alone again, well sweet Nita Nitro, you're locos tambien

Nita Nitro say goodbye to everything we knew
'cos I don't feel like crying (oo-oo-ooo-oo) and though I may stop trying
Nita Nitro say goodbye to all that we held true
say goodbye to the Rock and Rolls and welcome to the Blues
that you swore you'd never show Nita Nitro (woo-oo-ooo), Nita Nitro
(woo-ooo)
Nita Ni...

6. Jonesing For Jones

[Ginger]

and of all the feelings
it's the only choice that my senses make, it's like I could inject you,
babe, aa-aa
and of all the faces, you're the only human I ever known
but ain't it good to be alone sometimes?

it's warmer than blood and stronger than bone, I scratch and I shake
I'm Jonesing for Jones, streams on my pillow, whether I can sleep at last
I'm Jonesing for Jones, say goodbye to the past
uh-oh

and in the blackest evening
a-just a taste of you and the heavens shine, light enough to daze the blind,
aaaw
you've got the power to fix me when I'm sick and twisting from time I've known
but ain't it good to feel alone sometimes?

it's warmer than blood and stronger than bone, I scratch and I shake
I'm Jonesing for Jones, streams on my pillow, whether I can sleep at last
I'm Jonesing for Jones, say goodbye to the past
to the past [x2]

oo-oo-oo oo-oo-ooo

I'm feeling warm and sated, a little dehydrated
but that's okay, a-'cause there's nothing in the way this time

it rains when I'm dry, it speaks when I'm alone, I can't leave it - I've tried
I'm Jonesing for Jones, streams on my pillow, whether I can sleep at last
I'm Jonesing for Jones, say goodbye to the past
to the past [x6]

7. Woah Shit, You Got Through

[Ginger]

I used to feeling alright, I'm used to being alone
I'm used to staying out nights without a-having a phone
and now you're well in my life, I never saw you arrive

woah shit, you got through! I suppose I l...

my friends are out of the view, you're making dinner for two
you're always keeping in touch, you say I'm drinking too much

you got me lying with ease, I'm only keeping the peace

woah shit, you got through! I suppose I l...
woah shit, you got through! I suppose I love...

woah yeah!...
Rock And Roll!...
I wanna see some hands!...
(we're gonna rock) the whole world!

a-there's a lot of trust, and there's a lot of ties
well there's a lot of girls out there and there's a lot of guys

so why's it got to be us who's gotta jump on the bus?

woah shit, you got through! I suppose I l...
woah shit, you got through! I suppose I...
I suppose I...

8. Cold Patootie Tango

[Ginger]

hey, be one of us
check your moods there by the door
smile, then shoot the shit
don't step out our social law
thanks but no thanks, here I'll hang
outsiders be my drug

9. Caprice

[Ginger]

mix up, start, stop, start, wait a minute... shut down
losing the plot, losing the plot, losing the plot 'til there's nothing to
see but the ground
head inside a rut - it's like my mind is shut, I hope I cope this time
drink and drugs will only amplify (oo-oo)

(well) I still got my music, so let's give that a try
sounds that can soothe you, and sounds that can move you and improve you
child

caprice [x6]

help me see this pain doesn't matter - I'm fine
no-one get me, I don't get me, no-one get me, I don't get me, I just need a
little time

head inside a rut, the mental link is cut, I'm holding on for life
no-one knows quite what to really say, guess they wouldn't make a difference
anyway

friends they can use ya, well friends they can use you and abuse you child
but never be denied, like the circles in the sky, heaven ain't rolling,
rolling, rolling...

caprice [x5]

10. Be My Drug

[Ginger]

hold me, baby, try to think of how you made me
hold me, baby, while the world gets bored and lazy
and hold me, hold me, tighter than I ever thought I could be, tighter than
you'd hold a memory...
time, bubbling under, I will rise, I will shake
material gain in a new lifetime to be rid of the right
when I can only sing true nature of things
and I'll rearrange and I'll stand, tall as Centrepoint

time, subtle as sunshine, I will rise, I'll abstain
with patience I gain in a new lifestyle, to be rid of the rage
then I can only sing of the power of learning
when I realise I can stand, tall as Centrepoint

be my drug [x3]

hold me, baby, try to make it a little less crazy
and hold me, tighter than I ever thought I could be, and tighter than you
hold a memory...

time, bubbling under, I will rise, I will train
then I can only sing of the true nature of things
and I'll feel the pain I won't feel again
and I will rise to the other side where I'll stay, and I'll stand, tall as
Centrepoint
justice, be my drug

11. Naivety Play

[Ginger]

watch yourself... here it comes... aaaaah...

try to run and you try to hide, hide your face in the other side
sycophantic or paranoid? suck on the milk of your plan destroyed

tell me
where, where, where the fuck you been?
where, where, where?

where's the world through your palace walls? Babylon in the bargain stores
naive says naive guess the rest, life's a play to the soon impressed

tell me
where, where, where the fuck you been? [x3]

the more I see is the less I learn [x3], the less I feel is the more I burn

tell me
where, where, where the fuck you been? [x3]

12. In Lilly's Garden

[Ginger]

honesty will set you free but individuality is wonderland
the greatest gift provided, kept inside in case no-one understands
add animal instinct here
when all is settled and done there's just empathy chains
the crowd was second to none but the memory remains

in lilly's garden [x2]

some are small and some were smaller
wise above the size but they're all in here (but they're all in here)
the need of company, condition free and wanting me when I was near

and down beneath the ground waters meet
in the confusion of friendship they don't let you down
to break the future in gently, they're always around

in lilly's garden [x3]

13. Getting It

[Ginger]

getting it cheap, a-getting it free
a-getting it safe, a-getting it sussed
a-getting it seen, a-getting it praised
a-getting it in, a-getting it out, a-getting it erased

getting it all the way, so don't ask for what I say
when I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) [x2]

getting it down, a-getting it back
a-getting it pain, a-getting it tight
well getting it loose, getting it to stay
well getting it hard, a-getting it real, a-getting it afraid

getting it all the way, it feels a whole lot better today
'cos I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) [x15]

getting it rich, getting it poor
getting it still, getting a deal
a-getting it shut, a-getting it true
a-getting it good, a-getting it bad
a-getting it and keeping it

getting it all the way, it's the same for you and me
we're all still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!)
I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) [x2]
you're still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!)
'cos I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!)
I'm still getting it right (getting it, getting it, getting it!) [x9]
(on and on and on and on and...) [x14]
(on and on...)

SHUT UP!
