All The Things You Hate About Me, I Hate Them Too - Live In London
[Spoken Intro]
This is the nasty side of my single, this is called "All The Things You Hate About Me, I Hate Them Too"
[Verse 1]
Burning the bridge
Taking a knife to the phone line
Cutting the cords
Taking a chunk out the struts in the old mine
Chickening out
Stopping the rot if you know when?
Whichever way
You won't have to deal with it ever again
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a ruthless and hard way to be
Severing people like limbs off a tree
I've never hidden the way that I am
Selfish, gutless, spiteful, but honest man
[Chorus]
If you let me know, I'll let it be
But it can't go on indefinitely
"Turn the other cheek", that's what we learn
My problem is I've only got so many to turn
[Post-Chorus]
I'll hold this grudge 'til death
Curse you
I'll process and reject
'Til I've
My doctor thinks it's best
If I get
'Cause this whole mess
Makes me depressed
[Verse 2]
Who was it said, "Don't let there be any bad blood?"
"You never know when you might be suffering, face down in the mud"
"Shake hands with all those assholes, just 'cause they have things you might need"
What kind of standards are these?
What kind of back-dealing, wrong way to succeed?
Cowards, fakers, liars, traitors
[Pre-Chorus]
If a relationship dies, it stays dead
That's how it works in my head
Every layer that I peel off, I get thin
It's a horrible sort of game that I never win
[Chorus]
I've got a kind of code
That everyone must observe
And if I die alone
Maybe that's what I deserve
Every layer that I peel off, I get small
And if you fall afoul of my laws
Well then, fuck you all
[Post-Chorus]
I'll hold this grudge 'til death
Curse you
I'll process and reject
'Til I've
My doctor thinks its best
If I get it off
God, this whole mess makes me depressed
[Bridge]
So now you know
So now you see
Why it's so hard to please me
I measure myself
And I measure you all
Against an impossible rule
A nonsense
A fiction
A flat contradiction
And I can't, I can't, I can't
I can't, I can't, I can't
[Outro]
Yeah
[Spoken Outro]
Great stuff, cheers everyone
Let's hear it for Pete and Matt and Dan
It went well
Hello Jimbo
Hello Georgey boy
