Skunk Anansie

Secretly

I've been biding my time
Been so subtly kind
I've got to think so selfishly
'Cos you're the face inside of me

I've been biding my days
You see
Evidently it pays
I've been a friend with unbiased views
Then secretly lust after you

So now you feel rusty you're bored and bemused
You wanna do someone else
So you should be by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly

Trying hard to think pure
Bloody hard when i'm raw
You're talking out so sexually
About boys and girls
And your friggin' dreams

So now you feel lusty you're hot and confused
You wanna do someone else
So you should be by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly

So now you've been busted
You're caught feeling used
You had to do, someone else
You should have been by yourself

You had to do, someone else

You should have been by yourself
Instead of here with me
Secretly, secretly. 

You'll follow me down

Survived tonight
I may be going down
'Cos everything goes round too
Tight, tonight
And as you watch me crawl
You stand for more
 
And your panic stricken
Blood will thicken up tonight
'Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
 
Survive tonight
I see your head's exposed
So we shall kill
Constructive might
It's so right as your emotions fool you
My strong will rule
 
And your panic stricken
Blood will thicken up tonight
'Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
 
I won't feel restraint
Watching you close sense down
I can't compensate
That's more than I've got to give
 
And your panic stricken
Blood will thicken up tonight
'Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
 
'Cos I don't want you to forgive me
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down
You'll follow me down

Lately

Sometimes all the moments
That we savoured for the last
Get crushed between the good and bad
From pressures we have had

But you know I can't conceive the day
When feelings run too high
To work out all the stale terrain
Emotions try to hide
 
When I try
Lately I can't seem to
Colour what we've lost
It all seems like bad means
When lovers turn from lust
Then I try
Try to smoke alone
 
These shattered ties no compromise
Fall through the fragile hell
You see the drinks stay sipped
'Cos we've lost our grip
Too exhausted to rebel
 
I try
Lately I can't seem to
Colour what we've lost
It all seems like bad means
When lovers turn from lust
Then I try
 
Then I try
Lately I can't seem to
Colour what we've lost
It all seems like bad means
When lovers turn from lust
 
Lately I can't seem to
Colour what we've lost
It all seems like bad means
When lovers when lovers turn from lust
Then I try
Try to smoke alone

Hedonism (Just because you feel good)

I hope you’re feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all it seems
I wonder what you’re doin’ now
I wonder if you think of me at all
Do you still play the same movies now
or are those special moods
for someone else
I hope you’re feeling happy now
 
Just because you feel good
doesn’t make you right
Just because you feel good
still want you here tonight
 
Does laughter still discover you
I see through all those smiles
that look so right
Do you still have the
same friends now
to smoke away you’re
problems and your life
Oh how do you remember
me the one that made
you laugh until you cried
I hope you’re feeling
happy now
 
Repeat chorus
 
I wonder what you’re
doing now
I hope you’re feeling
happy now (x 2)
