Kate Nash - Don't You Want To Share The Guilt lyrics
rate me<BR>
BBQ food is good<br>
You invite me out to eat it, I should<br>
Go, but I'm feeling kind of nervous<br>
And not quite myself<br>
So I'm running late on purpose<br>
And I know this won´t help<br>
How things have become between us<br>
But if I go you'll give me hell<br>
And that I don´t know how to fix it<br>
Is making me unwell, well<br>
I arrive at your house<br>
But you've just got up<br>
And you are wearing a towel<br>
And your eyes look dark<br>
I help to dry your body<br>
And I see your cut<br>
So I give you a plaster<br>
And we cover it up<br>
I say "Have you been crying?"<br>
And you say "Shut Up"<br>
So we sit in the garden<br>
And touch the grass<br>
With our hands<br>
<br>
The sun is going down now<br>
And it's been okay<br>
You tell me all these things you did<br>
While I was away<br>
And this worries me somewhat<br>
<br>
You say you're fine<br>
Listen<br>
Can you hear it?<br>
Does it speak?<br>
Will I feel it?<br>
Will it hurt?<br>
Am I near it?<br>
I dont know<br>
<br>
I dont know how more people haven´t got mental health problems<br>
Thinking is one of those stressful things I've ever come across<br>
And not being able to articulate what I want to say drives me crazy<br>
I think I should try and read more books<br>
And learn some new words<br>
My sister used to read the dictionary<br>
I'm going to start with that<br>
I'd like to travel<br>
I want to see India and the pyramids<br>
A whale and that race with all the bicycles in France<br>
I'm not sure about rivers, they scare me<br>
But I love swimming, I'm good at it<br>
And when I swim I think about numbers<br>
And count the laps<br>
When I was younger I saw a house burnt down<br>
And I walked past it everyday for the next six years<br>
Derelict, black, chalky and dangerous<br>
I wondered if squatters lived there<br>
I'm still not sure but I know there were never any parties cuz it was shit<br>
After a while the council got round to tidying out the town<br>
Making it less offensive here and there<br>
They said it was an eyesore so they let tore it down<br>
Behind the house was a wall with a few bits of crappy graffiti and the word 'Cunt' written on it in giant letters<br>
And now I walk past that<br>
<br>
I like sitting in the park<br>
And I like walking through it<br>
I like taking my dogs there<br>
And friends, and I like being alone<br>
I like flowers and simplicity<br>
I like compassion and thoughtful gifts<br>
I like being able to shout<br>
But I wish I could be quiet<br>
When I'm quiet people think I'm sad<br>
And usually I am<br>
<br>
Sometimes when I'm at a busy train station<br>
Somewhere big with the noisy trains like King´s Cross<br>
I feel like putting down my bags and shouting things out because I've got something to say<br>
Don't you want to share the guilt?<br>
Don't think, just try and sleep<br>
<BR><BR>
