Róisín Murphy Album

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered

Your date on my data
The chromosomes match
Exact as in matter
A matter of fact

These amourant feelings
A cognitive state
Need the love object
To reciprocate

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

A chemical reason
If reason's your game
A chemical needing
Is there in the brain

With preprogrammed meanings
Like a little more pep
Alien feelings
We have to accept

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered

As science struggles on to try to explain
Oxytoxins flowing ever into my brain

As science struggles on to try to explain
Oxytoxins flowing ever into my brain

I think we've waited
Long enough, baby
You know me
Only too well

I just thought someway I have to match you
So don't be defensive
No, no, don't try to pretend to
Look surprised

Have you ever known me?
Bit too shy to jump in
But when it comes to you
I can't win
'Cause you know me better than I know myself

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

Understand it
Nobody understands you
The way that I can
Let's see this thing through
One thing remaining
Things will never be the same again
After tonight

So let's get down to it
This thing is getting stronger and stronger
We need to take it further
I can't wait no longer of waiting my turn
I've waited in line

How long have I known you?
Not in all this time been untrue
I think I'm rolling free
Let me see this through
You know me better than I know myself

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself

How many years can we keep going on this way
Too afraid to learn to stay
Though I believe the friendship can survive
Maybe it won't if we do or we don't

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

You know me better than I know myself
You know me the best
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

You know me better than I know myself
You know me better than I know myself
You know me better than I know myself
You know me better than I know myself
You know what to expect

It's your uneasy mind
That's been making you blind
I won't lie to you

You've got trouble inside
Baby, I’ve nothing to hide
I've been good to you

All the way from New York City
Calling me constantly
He's asking if I’m sitting pretty
Waiting patiently

Darling, I would not forsake thee
I'm telling you honestly, yeah yeah

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a troubled mind
It's time to set me free

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a troubled mind

How can you judge
If I don't miss you enough
Any fool can see:
If you can't trust yourself
Can't trust nobody else
Did you lie to me
Yeah, did you lie to me

Even when we are together
Still the jealousy
You know, I just wanna dance forever
And you wanna take that from me

Suppose you really think you're clever
Stealing my liberty, yeah yeah

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a troubled mind
It's time to set me free

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a troubled mind

I got [?] to think about
Looking into you
I need to know when you're going out
And all the things you do
You may not be guilty by default
And have the nerve to question me
When it's you who could get caught

What do you think I’m gonna find
When I’m checkin' up on you
Maybe you've got something to hide
Though I think I always knew

What do you think I’m gonna find
When I’m checkin' up on you?
Maybe you've got something to hide
Though I think I always knew

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a troubled mind
It's time to set me free

What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a troubled mind

(it's a strange kind of loving)
What do you think you're gonna find
Checkin' up on me
(is it fair love)
Baby, you've got a troubled mind
(is it fair love)
It's time to set me free
(i know you're feeling your suffering)

What do you think you're gonna find
(is it fair love)
Checkin' up on me
Baby, you've got a troubled mind

I can't explain your suspicions
I think it's you
Issues, you, issues
Think it's you
I think it's you

It's a strange kind of loving

Let me know when you're lonely babe

Happier now than I've been in the past
Gone are the days
Gone are the tears
That was a girl I used to be

The girl that you see standing in front of you
Keeps going on
Because she believes
In setting you freeeeeeee

So let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby

I turn the other way
I could never turn you down
You turn me on
Don't speak out every meaning
I don't belong to you
Like you don't belong to me
So don't hold on too tightly
There forever be

So let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby

Always say in this cynical thing
Hold me
No ball and chain
I risk my reputation
Just to get more
You always have the reservation
Come lay down beside
Beside me
Beside me

So let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby
Let me know when you're lonely babe
Let me know when you're lonely baby

I'm a trusting soul not ashamed of living dangerously
And I'm a headstrong girl, I'm afraid I won't be told
I feel my destiny is only 'round the corner
Sugar daddy promised me I'll be sitting on top of the world

He saw my naked ambitions said
I would leave them wanting more
That could be crazy wishing we could ever have it all
Have it all, have it all

We'll make a movie, we'll break into cinema
You'll be director and I'll be your movie star
We'll make a movie, the darlings of cinema
You'll be director and I'll be your movie star

So he's a headstrong guy and perhaps I shouldn't listen
There's a million girls wanna be in my position
If he tells me lies I'll suspend my disbelieving
I leave it all behind, I ain't asking for permission

Feels like a new beginning and there's so much to explore
It's not so crazy thinking we could really have it all
Have it all, have it all

We'll make a movie, we'll break into cinema
You'll be director and I'll be your movie star
We'll make a movie, the darlings of cinema
You'll be director and I'll be your movie star

From the primordial soup
Out of the din and the gloom we came
We are animals by any other name

From the primordial soup
Out of the din and the gloom we came
We are animals, one unbroken chain

I need to get you out of your cave man
I need to let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

Out from under a rock
From a prehistoric sea we crawl
We are animals, animal one and all

Out from under a rock
From the prehistoric sea we came
We are animals, animals, one unbroken chain

I know what you're searching for
I pray you find it on your instinct
I, I don't need you hurting boy animalistic

I need to get you out of your cave man
I wanna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

I need to get you out of your cave man
I wanna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

If you call out tonight
And hear the call of the wild reply
You are animal, animal not so deep inside

If you call out in vain
Every one of us just the same
We are animal, dare not speak its name

I know what you're searching for
I pray you find it on your instinct
I, I don't need your hurting boy animalistic

I need to get you out of your cave man
I wanna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

I need to get you out of your cave man
I wanna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight's the night
I'm gonna show you I ain't got no game plan

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me these

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me these

Teddy bear
Baby, can we take it slowly?
'Cause I’m a junky for love
But we can still have a party

Take care
'Cause baby I’m a delicate flower
But I could still open up
Just like a beautiful orchid

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me these

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me these

Teddy bear
Can we take it softly, softly?
Just let me fix up for love
And we could still get it started

Steady there
Let me maybe talk you through it
Just 'cause this feeling's for real
Don't make me know how to do it

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me these

Take a chance on a night romance for you
For a change gonna do what I have to do

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me these

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me these

Footprints in the morning snow
You've got me rocking like an echo, echo
Fresher than the daisy eaves
It drives me crazy when you play me these.

Behind these walls
You can be so self-absorbed
Behind those eyes, no disguise
Disguise, no you can't disguise
Behind this fortress of an address
Stuck in the passion void
With a little style full and for a while
But you can't turn back time

Dear Miami
You're the first to go
Disappearing
Under melting snow
Each and everyone
Turn your critical eye
On the burning sun
And try not to cry

Strictly rolling V.I.P.
Strictly rolling V.I.P.

We got it all
The empire ever falls
We got all control, untold power to
Do what we wanna do
We got the moves
But there's nothing left to prove
There's only stardust memories
We can make come true

Dear Miami
You're the first to go
Disappearing
Under melting snow
Each and everyone
Turn your critical eye
On the burning sun
And try not to cry

Dear Miami
You're the first to go
Disappearing
Under melting snow
Each and everyone
Turn your critical eye
On the burning sun
And try not to cry

Merry-go-round again
A carousel
Passionate raid
An escapade

Strictly rolling V.I.P.
Strictly rolling V.I.P.
Strictly rolling V.I.P.
Strictly rolling V.I.P.

Oh

Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh

To stay awake
You take a pill
You think you're moving
But you're standing still
You can't see
It's overkill
You think you're cruising
But it's all downhill

Maybe I can put you in the right direction
Call me if you can't decide
I believe you're beyond correction
Wouldn't be the first time I made you cry

Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time

This won't hurt
No not a bit
You better take your medicine
'Cause you are sick
Your blood burns cold
You want me to talk
You're a bad seed
Already sown

Maybe I can put you in the right direction
Call me if you can't decide
Calling back to me looking for redemption
Wouldn't be the first time I heard you cry

Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time

Who do you think it's to blame
Everybody but you
You couldn't care less about the things that you do
Sick of hearing you cry
Sick of hearing those lies
Tired of wiping the tears from your eye

Let go off me

Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
All the time
Oh me
Oh my
Don't cry baby
Please don't cry

Don't cry baby
All the time
Oh me

Don't cry baby
Please don't cry

Hey, where'd you learn to fly
So you shoot your rocket up
Into the sky
Hey, I heard you set the pace
I never thought I'd see you back
In this old place

Are you here to stay?
I never thought I'd see the day
Maybe in another lifetime
I'd see you walking away from me

Tell everybody you're my baby
Tell everybody we're not fading
Tell everybody no ifs or maybes, no, no, no
Tell everybody I'm your lady
Tell everybody it's not changing
Tell everybody you're still my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, I heard you set the tone
The day you changed the world you were
Alone
I'm at your command
You only have to clap your hands
Baby I don't understand
Why you're leaving me

Hey, I only wanna make you smile
Well, maybe it'll take a while
Maybe I'll build an Eden
If it pleases you

Tell everybody you're my baby
Tell everybody we're not fading
Tell everybody no ifs or maybes, no, no, no
Tell everybody I'm your lady
Tell everybody it's not changing
Tell everybody you're still my baby, yeah, yeah, yeah

I almost remember your face
But it's fading, but it's fading fast
Now that I remember the taste
It's a memory with a life to last

From the cradle to the throne, my flesh & my bones
Is that the way it's supposed to be: how the story goes?
Ribbons and bows: like a thorn on a rose
When the one man who gave it all to you has to let you go

He found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a father's love, when another has his daughter's love?
Don't you know they'll never be above
I'll always be your little girl

It's all borrowed time and you always said I would regret it
If I grew up too fast, but my heart is strong and true
I'm doing fine, the things that you said, I won't forget 'em
I'll do as you ask and always play fair for you

You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a father's love, when another has his daughter's love?
Don't you know they'll never be above
I'll always be your little girl

There's a part of you in every part me
(you should know better)
Maybe you should know I won't let that go
Long as I can cry on your shoulder
Won't be growing up just older
You have got to let me go

You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
What becomes of a father's love, when another has his daughter's love?
Don't you know they'll never be above
I'll always be your little girl

I'll always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl

You've got to let it go
You've got to let it go
You've got to let it go

Have you omitted to say those rubber bullets don't bounce off you
Oh in cry, hear it in stereo
I'll cry after everything is done and dusted
I may convince bold and original
Forgive what's that for when you're heading for the dance-floor
I'm here, go deep with those climb-downs
Branding me a heretic kind of infant-terrible
I risk I take it to the brink of it
Drop you like a hot potato
Everybody turn a hater

If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, I call your name
If I could hear what your body says, I wouldn't change it
If you speak over to me

Between false and tragedy lies a human emotion
For hoping it'll turn out alright
Ah dickens, thicken now then chicken soup
And the way that you turn it
Will take you to the end of the line
But learn, speak it that body language
Definition of wordplay, conditional love
You can't contemplate
Impossible to separate
One from the other
Your mother, sister's, brother's lover

If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, I call your name
If I could hear what your body says, I wouldn't change it
If you speak over to me

'Tied up for the foreseeable future'
Had ended in the 70's science fiction motion picture
'Back in the day' don't cut it now anyway
Quite a different animal
Don't you wish you'd had a mission

If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, I call your name
If I could hear what your body says, I wouldn't change it
If you speak over to me
If you hear what your body says, learn body language
If I could speak, I call your name

How are we getting on
Been learning fast
I just got you wrong
It's not built to last
It's not built to last
Time keeps on tripping on
Though I learn my lessons fast
And it was time for me to cut and run
And if I ever do the past
You're not the only one

We're living
Parallel lives
Oh you're not the only one
We're so entwined
To lose it
To the passing of time
Oh we came undone
We came untied
We came untied

We live separate lives
Can't even organise
One more meeting of minds
Ain't gonna make it right, no
There's more humanity
In just letting it be now
'Cause I can't seem to justify
When we're living separate dreams
Have we forgotten love

We're lost in
Parallel lives
Oh you're not the only one
We're so entwined
To lose it
To the passing of time
Oh we came undone
We came untied
We came untied

Parallel lives
Oh you're not the only one
We're so entwined
To choose it
To the passing of time
Oh we came undone
We came untied
We came untied

We chose to give it
We chose to live it
Our separate lives
Got too close to heaven
But are we too driven
In a parallel light
All because we chose to live it
Chose to give in
Our separate lives
Got too close to heaven,
Well are we too driven
In a parallel light
What were we destined for

To live in
Parallel lives
Oh you're not the only one
We're so entwined
To lose it
To the passing of time
Oh we came undone
We came untied
We came untied

Parallel lives
Oh you're not the only one
We're so entwined
To choose it
To the passing of time
Oh we came undone
We came untied
We came untied
