Les paroles de "Civilized Man"

*"Kathie"*

I'm through with pastry,
No more sticky bun cherry tarts
I want a good girl
One who rocks but has a decent heart
I've been waiting
Now I'm sick of that
I think I saw you...

Katie, come out and play
I've got a present
For you today
It's got your name on it
I hope I spelled it right
Ohoh yeah
Ohoh yeah yeah-yeah

She's got tattoos,
Runnin' down underneath her shirt
She wears long sleeves
So you can't guess what's on her
But the coolest one
She can't hide
Yeah the coolest one
Says "Dad"

Katie come out and play
I've got a secret for you today
I think you're pretty
I wanted you to know
Ohoh yeah
Ohoh yeah yeah-yeah

This is pointless
'Cause she's already got a guy
And I would never
Hit on her and make her life a lie
But I don't care
I'll find another one
No I don't care
(parle) Maybe she's got a best friend oh man, I don't know

Katie come out and play
I've got a secret for you today
I think I love you
Though I don't know you well
Ohoh yeah
Ohoh yeah yeah-yeah
Ohohoh ohoh yeah yeah-yeah
(parle) I don't think that girl had a boyfriend at all

*"Bad"*

We met, we smiled
I put my arm around you
The camera flashed and it was over
My face was flush
You turned and walked away
But in my pocket was your number
And I'm thinking
Who's that girl who smiles and hides at the same time
I really think she's got issues
The way she looks at me I can tell what a kiss brings
And if I taste her pain is that a crime?

That night
We're upstairs in my room
I'm trying to ply you
With champagne and caviar
But you just wrinkle up your face
Won't get off second base
I'm trippin' on how strong you are
Oh my toes start dancing when you kiss me
You pull me down and I like it
Hey my head explodes and I know something's hit me
You make me want to be BAD... Yeah!

I am a monkey behind glass
Turn on the lights have a laugh
Get up you filthy thing and dance
And you would come across the sea
Give me kisses that would speak
Of your seven lonely oceans... Yeah!
Who are you to smile and hide at the same time
I really like your issues
The way you look at me I can tell what a kiss brings
You make me want to be BAD... Yeah!

*"This Town"*

You didn't even care
What they said about you
And you ran away from there,
Made a home
And you filled it
With a candle
On a cinder block
And a mattress on the floor

This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours
This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours
Oh, oh, oh

You'll find a man
And he swears to protect you
From the dark
And you'll love him,
And you'll try a little harder,
And it feels good,
And you don't give a damn

This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours
This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours
Oh, oh, oh

I got a job at the hotel,
And my car runs good
And Bill is moving out,
I got my place
And I got me a plan
How to make a little money
And I'll take you along
If you'll just look at me

This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours
This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours
Oh, oh, oh

*"Smile"*

In, I'm falling in
I didn't want to
Not so fast, boy
Slow,
Don't wanna hurt the girl
Get her a pretty box
You better fill it
And I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking into the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes
And she just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles
Smiles
So, there we go again
And it feels so good
To fall up and down
Damn, it's 2 AM again
And she kisses me goodbye
For the sixteenth time
And I'm driving home, it's 5 AM
And I look at the sun come up over the hills
And the clouds are turning pink and green
And all I can see is her eyes
Eyes
Eyes
I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking into the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes
She just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles
Smiles

*"For What I Need"*

I'm goin' swimmin' now
Get up your stream, baby
Gonna get wet yeah!

For what I need
What I need
Is you baby

Yeah I'm goin' climbing now
I'm gonna get high
Up your peaks baby

For what I need
What I need
Is you baby

(parle) I don't care what you put it in my way
(parle) Not nearly
(parle) Not ever since I met you
(parle) Now I'm like a heat seeking missile, baby

For what I need
What I need
Is you baby

Well I'm goin' walking now
(parle) The only problem
Up an early road
(parle) I said the only problem is
Get home to you baby
(parle) If I don't get to you
(parle) I'm gonna go insane

For what I need
What I need
Is you baby

For what I need
What I need
Is you baby

Yeah...

(parle) I don't care
(parle) What kind of hole is in the ground
(parle) I don't care
(parle) What kind of ocean is in between me and you
(parle) Oh baby I ain't gonna get halfway
(parle) I'm gettin' to you
(parle) Watch out!

(rit)

(parle) Watch out!

*"Long Time"*

I remember
What you told me
Last time I said I wanted you

A crooked smile played
'Cross your lips
And you said
Damn all you men are just the same

And it's been a long time
That's granted
But I bet you haven't changed

It's been a long time
Since I was okay, okay
Yeah

In the years we
Spent together
I fell in love with your honesty

You never told me that
Your sweet words
Were never meant to apply to me

And it's been a long time
That's granted
But I bet you haven't changed

It's been a long time
Since I was okay, okay
Yeah

Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala La
Lalala
Lala

You're so perfect
Put together
Liz your beauty is faultless

But what I thought was
Done for my eye
Was really building a fortress

And it's been a long time
That's granted
But I bet you're just the same

It's been a long time
Since I was okay, okay

It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Yeah

*"Every Man Thinks God Is On His Side"*

Paroles indisponibles.

*"Poor Robyn"*

It's over now
I think I get it
It's been years
Since I saw your face
But now I don't want to hear from you
I don't want to hear about anyone
Or anything
Named Robyn for a while

Goodbye the sea
Where you live
Goodbye the water
Keep my toes dry for a while

Nobody heard what you had to say
'Cause kisses whisper stay away
Don't make me feel
Like that again

Oh poor Robyn
Don't be scared
Let me hold you
Let me take you there

I want you so
I want you
I want you so
What?

*"No Promises"*

Hope I meet you on a good day
When I'm feeling all myself
Don't be startled if I runaway
Especially if you smile and really ring my bell

Hope you take it in a good way
When I show myself to you
I wouldn't worry about it anyway
I have soft skin and scars are nothing new

Please, no promises, don't wanna hear the words
Nothing you can say that I haven't already heard
Please, no promises, let's just pass the time
Come and sit with me and give me your eyes

We can find ourselves a quiet room
And let our hands run free
You can tickle underneath my arm
All the way down to behind my bended knee

Please, no promises, don't wanna hear the words
Nothing you can say that I haven't already heard
Please, no promises, let's just pass the time and
Come and sit with me and give me your eyes

When we made ourselves that quiet place
And the world was just us two
I hope that you won't runaway
We can stay there
And make us something new
Yeah! Yeah...yeah...yeah...yeah...

*"Patricia"*

She had a piano
And her hands danced lustfully on the keys
She has a pen and a paper
And she draws her favourite people and one is me

She wasn't s'posed to be cool
Now I'm her fool
But I don't care

She's given me a passkey
That has led me to woah
Patricia, Patricia

Patricia, Patricia

Small breast
Fun hair
Dark eyes
Full lips

Small hands
Long arms
Touch me, I'm gone

Now please
Make your own cage
Now she wants out
Now she breaks out

Now I
Sit here and I sigh
'Cause the girl has gone back home to Germany

I can't
Break through
And get to

Patricia, Patricia
Patricia, Patricia

Patricia

*"Civilized Man"*

There are walls just to get to you
You can hit me till I’m black and blue
You set me up
Not gonna fall
Run away

Went to sleep a long time ago
Several years since I hurt anybody
Don’t wake me up
Let me sleep
Won’t do you no good

Just keep to myself
Yeah yeah ye-eh-eh
Nobody want a part of this

It’s hard to be a civilized man
Times a woman with just what I am
Woah catch yourself
Wanna wind up in jail?
Better smile and watch football

Civilised man
I ain’t no civilized man
Civilised man
Wasn’t born to be a civilized man

That’s it, I ain’t got no more to say
