Polly Scattergood – Nitrogen Pink Lyrics 16 years ago
nitrogen pink
and a whole load of wednesdays
they're these sweet rotting memories
that keep you alive

nitrogen pink, please
throw me a moment
just to get my composure
and to stamp on a fly

and the boys had their pearls
and the girls had tobacco
and everybody was laughing at you
singing 'isn't it, isn't it, isn't it
such a funny old world
the way tragedy strikes?'

nitrogen ink
and a whole load of aednesdays
they're these sweet rotting memories
that keep you alive

nitrogen pink, please,
throw me a moment
just to get my composure
and to stamp on a fly

and the blind man was seeing
clouds all grey until
the weatherman blew his rain away
and nobody, nobody, nobody
make a sound

nitrogen pink
and a pill for my breakfast
and a bag full of ketchup
that he spilt on his tie

nitrogen pink
for the unwritten bible
that is mad mad dog's survival
till he kicked it up in the flames

and all the education, daddy
it never paid because
the fat man, he took my innocence away
and i thought, and i thought, and i thought, and I thought
you said these streets were all paved with gold

nitrogen pink
for the real captain redbeard
for the unlikely pianist
the sad and the gay

nitrogen pink
for the man in the corner
for the pig at the slaughterhouse
the sweet melody

played slot machines,
got so rich then we lost it
found the hole a my pocket
crack a smile, we're ok

that long drive home
nothing much ever after
nothing hurts more than laughter
man, i wish you could be here

nitrogen pink
and a whole load of wednesdays
they're these sweet rotting memories
that keep you alive

nitrogen pink, please,
throw me a moment
just to get my composure
and to wave you goodbye

I think it's :

If she sleeps, it's fitfully

Makes a bit more sense!

Golden Silvers – Magic Touch Lyrics 16 years ago
Oh god, how bad is it that for the first few times I heard this, I thought it was about *ahem* a lost erection? It does kind of fit with the lyrics and I kept mishearing 'falling from my clutch' as 'crotch'..
Sigh. Maybe it's just a sad indication of my state of mind. I do still like this song, though it was funnier before..

Cats on Fire – The Smell of an Artist Lyrics 16 years ago
Thanks for this!
I hear 'that's why you do it' instead of 'because you're new' at the end of the chorus.
And it's probably 'aesthetics', not 'estethics'.
Really good song though and I hadn't got all the lyrics so cheers..
