We buy and sell down at Sharkey’s Parade Paracetamol and cheap cherryade Sometimes the difference Is so hard to tell Heaven can be Hell with Jesus and Jezebel Snapchat romance and instant affairs Vodka and comedy, thoughts and prayers Its a kind of suicide Slowly killing time Heaven can be Hell with Jesus and Jezebel It’s all right here on real TV Phoney is the new reality Gossip and opinion This week’s lucky million Heaven can Hell with Jesus and Jezebel

Oh such a pretty dress Barbed wire and flowers The fabric of your success And your ivory towers Waving your heart shaped flag Artful distraction Pity is such a drag Such an overreaction Even the truth is absurd Life is a beautiful curse You’re such a difficult girl Such a difficult girl Why do you still neglect Your own affliction The principal architect Of your own crucifixion You say you never retreat But you always welcome defeat You’re such a difficult girl Such a difficult girl There is no fruit that’s been forbidden The song you’ve always heard Is still waiting to be written You’re such a difficult girl Such a difficult girl

Hey Batman 04:15
Hey there Batman Haven’t seen you in a while Looks like you’re type of crime Is going out of style Hey there Batman Nothing’s going down Just some big mouthed kid Thinking he’s profound How the dark night fades away In the light of a brand new day Hey there Batman I think that bird has flown Now you’re working for the man And Robin’s run away from home Hey there Batman Has it come to this The good ones are killing time The bad ones are taking the piss How the dark night fades away… There’s no telling where you’ve been in that disguise But there’s a kid round here who’s really got your eyes Hey Batman Have you heard the news Some joker on the street Is walking in your shoes How the dark night fades away

Stars 04:54
We are such stuff as stars are made of We are the hopes on which dreams depend So much better than we think we are When all is said and done And but a shadow Of what we might become We are the latest ones in line One hundred thousand years in time We are other Strangers by name Ninety-nine point nine Percent the same Born in space and time On some distant star We are castaways So good so far We are blood and dust and wind We are the stories that we tell We are the conscious light That lingers on A hope that will remain when we have gone We are such stuff as stars are made of

You can take the decorations down Bring the chairs in off the lawn This party’s good as over now Everybody’s going home You can trust me every inch on this one darling You can have my word Just put the dream down darling And nobody gets hurt We’ve done everything we could here Gone right out on the wire You sang just like a nightingale But they still won’t have you in the choir We could stick around forever darling But it’s never gonna work So put the dream down darling And nobody gets hurt The sky is turning The sky is turning red So leave the silent to the almost being said The rain falls on the living and the dead And the stranger sleeping in your bed It’s not what you hold onto Doesn’t matter what you lose You can give it all away It only matters what you choose You can trust me every inch on this one darling You can have my word Just put the dream down darling And nobody gets hurt
