Grant Lee Buffalo - THE WHOLE SHEBANG lyrics

(Velvet Goldmine Soundtrack 1998)

Darlin' you can't live your life singing songs in exile

You were born for stardom's crown and not for self denial

So don't you close the door on fate when she comes to call

And tell her that you'll join her there at the masqueraders ball

Funny how some people never love at all

We'll take the whole shebang

All or nothing anything

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang

We'll take the whole shebang

Free your heart of guilt and shame

Come and claim what's yours the whole shebang

Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner my dear

Except for contemplations evil brother known as fear

But love is extraterrestrial and love falls from the stars

Like Maxwell Demon's silver disc into this world of ours

Funny how we keep on loving true love power

We'll take the whole shebang

All or nothing anything

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang

We'll take the whole shebang

Free your heart of guilt and shame

Come and claim what's yours the whole shebang

Ta ta ta

Yeah

Kick up your heels and paint your face wave goodbye to yesteryear

We could sway in outer space from the chandelier

Woe sometimes it breaks my heart I hide my tears

We'll take the whole shebang

All or nothing anything

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang

We'll take the whole shebang

Free your heart of guilt and shame

And come and claim what's yours the whole shebang

We'll take the whole shebang (whole shebang)

All or nothing anything

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang

We'll take the whole shebang (whole shebang)

Free your heart of guilt and shame

And come and claim what's yours the whole shebang

Yeah yeah yeah
