Emily Haines - Pink lyrics

Don't say this, leave it with your brown boots

Behind the door and come to bed

Everybody lies, I never said I'd be happy

Don't say it, don't injure your mouth trying to show me

Where you've been, I've seen everything

You can't hide much behind that tomcat grin

Sad sad, tomcat

That's all it is, blood in your ears

Watch and they'll feed while the song disappears

Don't save this, put on your best suit, wash and go

Get out of my head

Everybody lies, but

Let's be happy (Oh, let's be happy)

I am gorgeous (Oh, I am gorgeous)

Pink and skimpy (Pink, pink and skimpy)

Let's be famous (Let's be famous)

Let's be happy (Oh, let's be happy)

And obnoxious (And obnoxious)

Thick and skinny (I think, I think, I'm think I'm skinny)

Rich and famous, rich and famous

That's all it is, blood in your ears

Watching the moon while the sky disappears

That's all there is and that's all I know

Got a couple of friends, say I told you so, oh oh

.....

(?: And I do know how to talk. So do you want me-my real:

eeeh-eeh, where's..it goes right off the decibels.)

(E.H.: "laughter" Yeah, I can do that one too)

(?: Or I'll-or, this is very interestingly, 'kay?

Hey, man, they've got no home to go home to.

And you're fuckin' beggin' for money? Yes! I'll-why not)

(E.H.: Okay, this is the poem.

You wanna read it, you wanna see if you like it?)

(?: I l-glanced over it, I, okay. Now you gotta know, okay.

You guys are a hard rock band, right?)

(E.H.: No, I'm just a person, I'm making--I'm making some recordings.)

(?: No, no. If you, if you, if you were gonna do this...

But that's a heavy rock statement, heavy rock. Heavy.

... the hell, I don't want to meet him in a alley. I just got out of th'hospital

And he was just like half the size of you...

"Beat me up with your guitar/This is what we've learned so far

Fat cigar between you legs/No one likes a woman that begs")
