I'm A Realist - The Cribs

Oh,I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I'm an indecisive piece of shit

Oh,I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I am indecisive and that's about it

and you dream that's the same thing
that's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you drink
don't wanna think
that's cos your mind is already made up

I'm a realist
I'm a romantic
I'm an indecisive piece of shit

I admit it
I'm up to my old tricks
did you see her eyes (oh no I tried)
she looked surprised

and you dream that's the same thing
that's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you drink
don't wanna think
that's cos your mind is already made up

how you dream that's the same thing
that's the same life you lead
I don't agree and so you
drink don't wanna think
that's cos your mind is already made up

no!

I know that it's only a matter of time
before you know it I'll be leaving town
see it in my eyes
no one will do
no one will ever do...

Don't You Wanna Be Relevant? - Cribs

it’s the art it’s bent (?) but it’s the dream
living outside of your means and
all you want is that you’ll never be
tomorrow always comes too fast
for those who leave still came in last
and how much right until there’s time that’s passed (?) oh no

cos you can’t go taking it back
there’s a time and a place for that
well don’t you wanna be relevant oh no
it’s the door one side at a time (?)
but that’s alright ha don’t make me laugh
cos it’s not

thoughts are real, hard to beat
men that I see in the street and
people I don’t ever wanna be
lovers, they’re the lonely ones they’re
lost in a bubble (?) by their day in the sun and
how much longer till I want this one oh no woo!

cos you can’t go taking it back
yeah there’s a time and a place for that
well don’t you wanna be relevant oh no
oh no!
cos it’s the door one side at a time (?)
but that’s alright ha don’t make me laugh
cos it’s not

your on-stage antics _____ (?)
were tailor made to suit men’s needs
your on-stage antics _____ (?)
were tailor made to suit men’s needs

cos you can’t go taking it back
there’s a time and a place for that
well don’t you wanna be relevant oh no
cos it’s the door one side at a time (?)
but that’s alright ha don’t make me laugh
cos it’s not

Moving Pictures - The Cribs

You'll sleep tonight
Dream dreams where I would die
It's alright, it's alright
They did not come true
Although they will do, in time
It's alright, it's alright

Fakes, liars, and stars of moving pictures
What's the difference?
Like all the parts that I'm not into
But I see in you

Not real brown eyes look into mine
But I was so shy
It's alright
You'll sleep tonight
Dream dreams where I would die
It's alright, it's alright

Fakes, liars, and stars of moving pictures
What's the difference?
Like all the parts that I'm not into
But I see in you

Guarded thoughts
Firing off
Parting shots
Missing lots
(x2)

Fakes, liars, and stars of moving pictures
What's the difference?
Like all the parts that I'm not into
But I see in you

The Cribs - Men's Needs

Have you noticed i've never been impressed
by your friends from new york and london
i'll level accusations like the press
until you realise that you've dressed yourself in tatters

because the man's needs
man's needs
are full of greed
full of greed
a man's needs
man's needs
are lost on me

a man's needs
man's needs
are full of greed
full of greed
a man's needs

i'm not bothered
what you say or how you dress
i'm a mess so you've always seemed inviting
but really
this all seems quite meaningless and i remember
that you never seem to see

the fact that man's needs

man's needs
are full of greed
full of greed
a man's needs
man's needs
are lost on me

a girl's needs
girl's needs
just don't agree
don't agree
with man's needs

have you noticed i've never been impressed by your friends from new york and london?
but really this all seems quite meaningless and i remember
that you never seem to see

the excuse that man's needs
man's needs
are full of greed
full of greed
a man's needs
man's needs
are lost on me

you say your man's needs
man's needs
have lots on me
i don't agree
a man's needs
oh oh oh oh
