In The Snow (Writing Demo)

Shirley Manson


Im one to talk, but you're so drunk you cannot walk,
And you make no sense, just slips and slurs between your lips,
And your eyes have shrunk to pins, like piss-holes in the snow,
And youre so fucked up, you have no clue you missed my show.

Two gritty hands, you've got them stuck inside my shirt,
And I bite my tongue, cause I know that loves supposed to hurt,
Im feeling sick, I don't like the way you look at her,
But you just laugh and stick your tongue inside my mouth.

If you don't want me, I don't care to know,
Cause in a moment I'll feel beautiful,
We both collide like we are crashing cars,
We fall together and forget ourselves,
And in a moment we feel something new,
There's no one else, there's only me and you,
But when we pull apart I feel unloved,
And you just become another thing I wish I hadn't done.

You take me home, like a piece of lint stuck on my clothes,
Put a record on, and sit there mouthing all the words,
And it don't feel good, as I press my back into the wall
With a little love, better having that than none at all.

If you don't love me, I don't care to know,
Cause in a moment I'll feel beautiful,
We both collide like we are crashing cars,
We fall together and forget ourselves,
And in a moment we feel something new,
There's no one else, there's only me and you,
But when we pull apart I feel alive,
And you just become another thing I wish I hadn't done.

I wish I hadn't done,
It never lasts.

No one wants to feel unlovable,
But everybody has a place you cannot touch,
Everybody has a hungry mouth to feed,
We fall into bed like we are second best.

So won't you rob the future,
So won't your rob ourselves,
So in love with the problem,
Well be solving all our lives.
