THE WILDHEARTS - SHOW A LITTLE EMOTION lyrics

top to tail with good advice

to get to know me, if I could only be

a little bit more like Jesus Christ

is that so easy? you know the lady likes

passion wisdom wealth and wonder, custom made at retail price

it all sounds good to me, and it'll happen naturally

CHORUS:

if ya...

show a little love, show a little emotion, it ain't a sin to be crying

show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe

(maybe)/('n you can) show a little love for (me)

take one chance you could be right

so what's your problem? you're only softening at the

pressures of one more lonely night

but that's so easy, we know the lady likes

pleasures found in downtown places, whisky straight and drugs for free

where the folks don't really care, but there's a sense of style you share

CHORUS

you say you're mine, but you don't show it

you say I'm blind, and man I know it

but I can show my feelings aloud without the fear of splitting with the crowd

so baby, don't say you love me

because you're scared of giving friendship 'case you never get it back

mistaking independence for the courage that you lack

and you're terrified of missing out on changes in your scene

so you cling on to your status like some life-support machine

because weakness is too feminine, you dress up like a boy

'til you get so fucking down, you forget what girls enjoy

you'll realise a compromise was not what they said it would be

so why don't you show me...

come on

show a little love, show a little emotion, it ain't a sin to be crying

show a little pain, show a little emotion, babe

you can show a little love, show a little love for...
