Paint a Vulgar Picture (2011 Remaster)

歌詞

At the record company meeting On their hands a dead star And oh, the plans they weave And oh, the sickening greed At the record company party On their hands a dead star The sycophantic slags all say "I knew him first and I knew him well" Reissue, repackage, repackage Re-evaluate the songs Double-pack with a photograph Extra track and a tacky badge A-list, playlist, please them, please them, please them Sadly, this was your life But you could have said no if you'd wanted to You could have said no if you'd wanted to BPI, MTV, BBC, please them, please them Sadly, this was your life But you could have said no if you'd wanted to You could have walked away, couldn't you? I touched you at the sound check You had no real way of knowing In my heart, I begged "take me with you" I don't care where you're going But to you I was faceless, I was fawning, I was boring A child from those ugly new houses Who could never begin to know Who could never really know Best of, most of Satiate the need Slip them into different sleeves Buy both and feel deceived Climber, new entry, re-entry World tour, media whore, please the press in Belgium This was your life, and when it fails to recoup, well maybe You just haven't earned it yet, baby I walked a pace behind you at the sound check You're just the same as I am What makes most people feel happy Leads us headlong into harm So, in my bedroom in those ugly new houses I danced my legs down to the knees But me and my true love Will never meet again At the record company meeting On their hands, at last, a dead star But they can never taint you in my eyes They can never touch you now No, they cannot hurt you, my darling They cannot touch you now But me and my true love Will never meet again
