Lost The Spirit To Rock and Roll

Wu-Li
I'm twenty freakin' eight
it's not funny anymore
I'm so fucked up
want somebody to love me
I had so much money
oh my god, I've lost everything
I'm thirty freakin' three
I'm a big joke
everyone's laughing at me
why do they always taunt me
where is all of my money
I knew everything
oh my god, well I thought I knew everything
We could've been content
we could've been contenders
we could've been somebodies
now we're somebody's story that we met on a bender
it's never going to end
We used to draw a crowd
in any city pub
Friday night, Saturday night, Monday night
we try, get tight
now we can't even draw
any money out of the ATM
oh my god, we lost everything
wu-li, where was I when you needed me
wu-li, where was I when you needed me
wu-li, where was I when you needed me
wu-li, yeah

About Wu-Li:
Written one morning while on their tour of the US in 1998. It was after a fairly big night, Nic stumbled out of some bushes where he'd been hiding all night and found Tom with a near-empty bottle of Sambucca and a guitar, sitting on the ground outside the shack. Nic sat down and they started to write Wu-Li.

Too Much Man To Be My Woman
You're too much man to be my woman now
can't you see, I'm an AC, you're a DC
don't know which one's which
lets just say, I don't swing your way
you want me to swing
and I won't be your bitch
you're too much man to be my woman
maybe if we was in jail
we'd let opposites attract
how's it go
even though you like me
I don't like you back
at least not in that way
you're too much man to be my woman
you're too much man to be my woman
Doctor Of Love
Six o'clock in the morning telephone ring
voice on the other end said
is the doctor in
well is the doctor in
is the doctor in
so i turned to my lady and i said
scalpel
I've got to make a house call
oh, it's an emergency
I'm needed in surgery
and I'm a doctor of love
doctor of love
so i turned to my lady and i said
scalpel
I've got to make a house call
oh, it's an emergency
I'm needed in surgery
and I'm a doctor of love
oh no, you don't need no appointment
doctor of love
let me show you where to put that ointment
doctor of love
doctor of love
there's nothing wrong with that
doctor of love
doctor of love

About Doctor Of Love:

Deaf Girl, Dumb Guy, Blind Love
Deaf girl, why don't you listen to your friends
when they call to tell you
they've seen that dumb guy
he's been out with other girls
and you thought you were his Mary
it's blind love
Deaf girl, why you always dreaming about that dumb guy
he'll never take you home
it's blind love
Why do you try to turn a blind eye
just like a video referee
when you know he won't even try
how many times you stumble over the line
To that, deaf girl
if you could only hear them singing
it would make you want to leave that dumb guy
he won't leave other girls alone
and you thought you were his Mary
it's blind love
(You're Not) The 'Onely One
You're not the 'onely one
You're not the lonely one
You're not the 'onely one
You're not the lonely one
There's a lot of lovin' people out there
with a lot to live and would love to give and care
someone who looks a little like you
but you walk around with your head down
you want to get one
you want to get you some
you gotta learn to put it out
Been burned before
well everyone's been done
it ain't everyone
there's a lot of people out there
with a lot to live and would love to give and care
Someone looks a little like you
could be those surfer chicks growin' tired with the surfer dudes
you know the one I'm talking about
that drove by with their boards in the back
you gotta help them get it out
you're not the 'onely one
You're not the 'onely one
You're not the lonely one
You're not the 'onely one
You're not the lonely one
gonna find you a good, good woman
there's a lot of lonely, lonely ladies
with a lot to live and would love to give
to someone who looks a little like you
oh, ohhh
you're not the 'onely one
You're not the 'onely one
You're not the lonely one
You're not the 'onely one
You're not the lonely one
There's a lot of lovin' people out there...
(Don't Go) Distant
Hey boyfriend, love of my life
Talk to me straight once in a while
Hit that pipe and you'll go distant
Don't go distant
Cause you're not the 'Onely One
in our loving home tonight
My heart's on the table
Sit with me by the candle light
Don't hit that pipe
or you'll go distant
Don't go distant
Don't go distant
When you get out of it
I'll feel left out of it
I'll be left out of it
x2
Hey boyfriend, light of my life
Talk to me straight once in a while
Don't hit that pipe or you'll go distant
Don't go distant
Don't go distant
I married you, I didn't marijuana
So doncha go distant
Stone cold distant
|
About Don't Go Distant:
The song's about trying to get someone off the dope 'cause when they're high, they're distant with you.

Maybe Moving In Together Wasn't Such A Good Idea
Maybe Moving In Together Wasn't Such A Good Idea
Kizmet, karma seemed destined to fooled me
who would have thought it
certainly not yours truly
before you sign again
remember what you done, did
I'm telling you face to face
this ain't a note left on the fridge
Maybe Moving In Together Wasn't Such A Good Idea
On the occasional Friday we'd stay in
The league turned down
and no one coming round
now the lounge is crowded
and you've scratched "Super Dude 1"
c'mon boy break the lease and take the money and run
Maybe Moving In Together Wasn't Such A Good Idea
Maybe Moving In Together Wasn't Such A Good Idea
kismet, karma seemed destined to fooled me
who would have thought it
certainly not yours truly
before you sign again
remember what you done, did
I'm telling you face to face
this ain't a note left on the fridge
Maybe Moving In Together Wasn't Such A Good Idea
On the occasional Friday we'd stay in
The league turned down
and no one coming round
now the lounge is crowded
and you've scratched "Super Dude 1"
c'mon boy break the lease and take the money and run
Maybe Moving In Together Wasn't Such A Good Idea

About Moving In Together:
Around the beginning of 1990, Nic would yell out "maybe moving in together wasn't such a good idea!" in between songs at Sneeze gigs.

I Believe In Marrickville (Parts 1 & 2)
Call me, when your new love is through love
cause ours is true love
and I'm totally totally totally in love
falling from the trees, and love
picked up by the breeze, love
take off work forget my pay, love
just like a summer's day, in love
cause I'm totally totally totally in love
when that look gets in your eye, and love
watch it float across the sky, love
picked up by the breeze, your love
has got me down on my knees in love
cause I'm totally totally totally
call me when your new love is through love
I'm so blue love
and I'm totally totall totally totally totally in love.
Well I guess you know what you're doing

when our love broke down you'd be gone
I miss spoke, cause girl this ain't no joke
now I'm staying on

when you see me on the strip
cause I'm a local now
and I'll take the night ride
to the west side of the city

when you see me on the strip
cause I'm a local now

Ain't No Love On The Road
There's guilt sex and there's drunk sex
and there's lust
but there ain't no love on the road
on the road
I said there ain't no love on the road
Well it's group sex, or it's no sex
and there's hoes
but there ain't no love on the road
on the road
I said there ain't no love on the road
There's guilt sex and there's drunk sex
and there's lust
but there ain't no love on the road
I've Lost The Spirit To Rock & Roll
I've seen the future of rock and roll
sittin' at home listening to my stereo
if I care at all it might look pretty bleek
my career's humming in the shower once a week
cause I've lost the spirit to rock and roll
I've lost the spirit to rock and roll
I'm feeling down but that's ok
rock and roll is just the blues sped up
mystery band from the USA are playing next door for free
I'm not going
I've lost the spirit to rock and roll
I've lost the spirit to rock and roll
I've lost the spirit to rock and roll
I've lost the spirit to rock and roll
didn't see that coming
I've seen the future of rock and roll
still sitting at home watching my stereo
I've lost the spirit of rock and roll
I've got the same old strings
I think at least four of them
at night alone community radio is just a no go zone
I think it always was
and I didn't see that coming

Too Much Man To Be My Woman (Reprise)
[ Instrumental ]
(You've Never) Had Sex Sober
You've never had sex sober
you've never strayed in the dark
and in the morning you don't know where you are
remember when we used to dance
You've never had sex sober
you don't know how love begins
you sure know when it's over
with the day light sinking in
no, no
remember when we used to dance
You've never had sex sober
you've never strayed in the dark
and in the morning you don't know where you are
you've never had sex sober
you've never slept through the night
you've never had sex cryin' out
well, at least in day light
never had sex sober
never strayed in the dark
I'll take the headache over heartache everytime
Isle Of Lesbos
I'm a stow away to the isle of Lesbos
going to hide in the bushes
voyeur supreme boys
you know what I mean
I'm a stow away to the isle of Lesbos
going to hop through the bushes
voyeur supreme girls
you know what I mean
Girl, It's Time We Had A Man To Man
Girl, it's time we had a man to man
'cause I know, 'cause you know
you're about to get your first boyfriend
there's no rush for heart break
I know tht you may worry 'cause I'm only 17
but I've learnt more than what I've seen in movies and magazines
'cause I know, 'cause you know
I know you both, I know you won't
take it easy, take it slow
'cause there's still time for heart ache
but I can't wait
Girl, it's time we had a man to man
'cause I know (I know you know) (I know I know)
you're about to get your first boyfriend
there's no rush for heart break
I can't wait anymore
there's still time for heart ache
I can't wait anymore
there'll be love for you
sweet child
