9 EP -- Being A Girl

BEING A GIRL (PART ONE)

Being a boy's like sucking on a lemon
And I judge myself by the adverts I see
My deodorant hides the real me
These things elevate me above animals

I feel like being a girl
Being a girl
And my life never tasted sweeter

I'm so boring, my clothes wanna keep
Someone else warm, someone cooler
Tax on cigarettes, treats my cancer
These things elevate me above animals

HIDEOUT

I hideout from the fakes I know
The secret lies in keeping small

Catching on with such arrogance
A behaviour so typical
And I'm sick of the fakes I know
So I hide out here on my own

My memories they don't count in time
What I have, keep it to myself

RAILINGS

I・ll press my face up to your railings
I・ll listen, you・ve still got a little unused pain
A little hurt
A little further

Don・t burn your hand on the window
If you just want to take in the view
Don・t you bend my wicked mind
With your mumbo-jumbo torture
If it・s all the same to you
It・s all the same...

Here we are, we・re here forever
We're gone tomorrow, why I might not even bother
But you're lovely and dark
It・s getting darker now

You press your face to my railings
I・ve still got a little unused pain
I・ll shoot you down
With my good-luck paradox
With my teeth and my brain
With my teeth and my brain

My death, it・s holy and awesome
It・s as common as muck on a spade
I・m not afraid now
I・m not afraid now

I CARE

I hang glass from the wall, it makes my life seem big
Mirrors hang from my wall, to make my world seem big

You forced me to do things I wasn't aware of
And this is our secret and everyone does this
My future is written in closed circuit evidence
Me and my self-denial will keep you from justice and free

I wriggle and squirm as you try to convince me
And everyone stares, they know what I've been up to
The pressure engulfing me, memories orbiting me
Fits epiletic in waves leaping over me

No contact of flesh and no tongues and no touching
No fear of disease and I can't take my clothes off
I want to get fucked like a whore in a porno, it's me
Don't tell anybody, it's our dirty secret, it's me

I will protect you and shield you, prevent you from danger
You've intruded and taken away all my sweetness
But somehow these mirrors they make my existence seem bigger
Somehow these mirrors they make my existence seem bigger

BEEN HERE BEFORE

So what do I believe in
I walked away from a million gods
To keep me safe from dying

I'm sure I've been here once before
I'm sure I've been here once before

I'll end up where I begin
I'll get back here in the end
I'll end up where I begin

So what do I believe in
I believe everything I read
Helps me make excuses

MANSUN'S ONLY ACOUSTIC SONG

If I start this small debate
The centre of the universe is gone for sale
If my melody should fall
The tune is unimportant as I said before
Or should I say it was the words, I should

Standing in grey lantern light
Mavis looking sexy through her dress it shines
Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines

I can't see you, I love you, I miss you
I can't see you, I love you, I do

If I feel God watching me
I control the actions of his destiny
And so my sentiments ring true
Feel him in the mirror laughing back at you
Or did I tell you how it seems, I would

If I start this small debate
The centre of the universe is gone for sale
And so my melody did fall
The tune is unimportant as I said before
Or did I say it was the words, I should
