DRINK YOU PRETTY
vPlacebov

Sick of drugs and dancing feet
Sick of bars where people meet
Smell of crotch and sheets not clean
Hairy men in magazines
Every city looks the same
Running from the threat of rain
Pillow talk that's just for one
Saturday get nothing done

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Human seethes of apathy
Nuclear catastrophe
Jumbos crash into the ground
Governments sleep safe and sound
Mornings glisten cold and bright
Organs stolen every night
Can of beans and fast bouquet
Double jackpot give away

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

Hello pretty
Hello
Hello pretty
Hello
Hello pretty
Hello
Hello pretty

Lie to me
It takes less time
To drink you pretty

WHERE IS MY MIND
vPixies coverv

Ooooooh - stop
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
But there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'

I was swimmin' in the Carribean
Animals were hiding behind the rock
Except the little fish
But they told me, he swears
Tryin' to talk to me to me to me

Where is my mind

Way out in the water
See it swimmin'?

With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Your head will collapse
If there's nothing in it
And you'll ask yourself

Where is my mind

Ooooh
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Ooooh
Try this trick and spin it, yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh

PROTÈGE MOI
vPlacebov

C’est le malaise du moment
L’épidémie qui s’étend
La fête est finie on descend
Les pensées qui glacent la raison
Paupières baissées, visage gris
Surgissent les fantôme de notre lit
On ouvre le loquet de la grille
Du taudit qu’on appelle maison

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me form what I want
Protect me, protect me

Protege moi, protege moi

Sommes nous les jouets du destin?
Souviens toi des moments divins
Glanat éclatés au matin
Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls
Perdus les rêves de s'aimer
Le temps où on avait rien fait
Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

Protect me from what I want [Protege moi, protege moi]
Protect me from what I want [Protege moi, protege moi]
Protect me from what I want [Protege moi, protege moi]
Protect me, protect me

Protège moi, protège moi

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me
Protect me

Protect me
Protect me, protège moi
