Trust and you'll be trusted
Says the liar to the fool
Lust - so what if you're busted?
In love and war there ain't no rules

Do you believe in forever?
I don't even believe in tomorrow
The only things that last forever
Are memories and sorrow
Out of sight out of mind
The motto of betrayal
The prophets preach to forgive and forget
I'm sorry, but I am unable

You went to L'amour Saturday night
Red nails and lipstick dressed two sizes two tight
His tongue down your throat
His hand up your skirt
Yeah I'm a man
But it still hurts

Slut
Hooker
Cunt

I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)

You had cock on your mind
And cum on your breath
Inserted that diaphragm before you left
Practicing freelance gynecology
Where there's a womb there's a way
With you it's for free

Slut
You bloody whore
Cunt

I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)

Done it before
So many times
I refused to learn my lesson
Gave 'til it hurt
I thought it was right
Only fools make mistakes twice

So I sit home
Drinking alone
Empty bottle in my hand
Don't even try
To sort out the lies
It's worse to try to understand

You make me hate myself

I know you're fucking someone else
(He knows you're fucking someone else)

    This song helped me so much in getting over my first breakup when my ex cheated. I got a good degree of popularity with a local band and, in the final concert of the tour (in my hometown where my ex lives) we covered this specially for her ("for you sweet Kate!"). Sweet revenge! I especially love "i'm a man but it still hurts". Shows how earnest this song is.

    Lyric Correction

    There is a multitude of errors in this version of the lyrics. I will list a few and bits of interesting information. Firstly, he sings most of the song in second-person but he is really talking about himself. (So you sit home drinking alone) L'amour (said by locals as La-Morz) was a heavy metal bar that was really big in it's day but sadly closed in 2004. (Type O performed there a few times) You can see with Pete Steele especially with him having a hard Brooklyn accent, normally when you say whore, you pronounce the OR really strong. Hard Brooklynites say Hoo-Wah. Errors: "Red nails and lipstick dressed two sizes too tight." "His tongue down your throat, his hand on your skirt." "Slut, Whore, Cunt!" / "Slut! You fucking whore! You're a cunt!" "You've done it before, time after time, refused to learn your lesson. Gave 'til it hurt, thought it was right... only fools make mistakes twice." "So you sit home, drinking alone. Empty bottle in your hand... don't even try to sort out the lies, it's worse to try to understand."

    For one, this song is actually "Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty of Infidelity." This song is fuckin' hilarious and the best song on the CD. It's also completely different than the other songs

    The lyrics are so funny, but musically this song is actually really good as well. Gotta give massive credit for fitting 'diaphragm' into a song lol

    On Origin of the Feces (the faux live album), I think the song is titled I Know You're Fucking Someone Else... but I could be wrong. Haven't listened to it in way too long.

    I still can't get over the pronunciation of the C word (Coont!) and the fact that Peter uses the word "Twat" - I think I hurt myself laughing so hard the first time I heard this.

    Hell, I still laugh when I hear this!

    "And don't think that I don't know what you're doing; you stupid twat!". Quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever heard on a Type O album.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Album art
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
