Cracker - Assorted Songs
Teen Angst
I don't know what the world may need,
but I'm sure as hell that it starts with me
And that's a wisdom,
I have laughed at.
I don't know what the world may want,
but a good stiff drink it surely don't,
So I think I'll go and fix myself a tall one.
'Cause what the world needs now
is a new kind of tension,
'Cause the old one just bores me to death.
Cause, what the world needs now,
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.
I don't know what the world may need,
but a V8 engine's a good start for me.
Think I'll drive to find a place to be surly.
I don't know what the world may want,
but some words of wisdom could comfort us
Think I'll leave that up to someone wiser.
'Cause, what the world needs now
are some true words of wisdom
like "La La La La La."
'Cause, what the world needs now
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head.
I don't know what the world may need,
and I never grasped your complexities--
I'd be happy just to get your attention.
I don't know what the world may want,
but your long, sweet body lying next to mine
could certainly raise my spirits.
'Cause what the world needs now
is a new Frank Sinatra
so I can get you in bed.
'Cause what the world needs now
is another folk singer
like I need a hole in my head
Low
Sometimes I wanna take you down,
Sometimes I wanna get you low.
Brush your hair back from your eyes,
Take you down, let the river flow.
Sometimes I go and walk the street
Behind the green sheet of glass.
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles
CHORUS:
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
hey, hey, hey like being stoned.
I'll be with you girl
Like being low
hey, hey, hey like being stoned.
A million poppies gonna make me sleep.
With just one rose that knows your name
The fruit is rusting on the vine
The fruit is calling from the trees
Hey, don't you wanna go down
Like some junkie cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles
CHORUS
A blue blue is the sun.
A brown brown is the sky.
A green green are her eyes.
A million miles, a million miles
Hey, don't you wanna go down?
Like some disgraced cosmonaut
A million miles below their feet
A million miles, a million miles
CHORUS
