Love Is A Momentary Lapse In Self-Loathing by Malcolm Middleton Lyrics
Why don't we go round one more time
Why don't I show you again
Why don't we take this right back to the start
I have a situation
Been going on for years
I can't seem to make peace with myself
I can't seem to make peace with myself
I can't seem to make peace with myself
Since you broke my heart
Broke my heart
Broke my heart
Broke my heart
The voices in my head shut them up I cannae get out
And hear what they're saying
The voices in my head here they come I cannae drown out
And here's what they're saying
You are the worst worst piece of shit that ever has lived
I didn't know what love was, but now I know
Niggling doubts are friendly moments of clarity and awe
And what about those characters I have to play
Strip them away
Strip them away
Strip them away
Strip them away
And there's a tart vinegar treacle pot
Bubbling away a boiling void of negativity
A rush of unspoken conceited despair
Imagine being chained to this the despair
Fuck off with your happiness
Fuck off with your happiness
Love is a momentary lapse in self-loathing
Love is a momentary lapse in self-loathing
Love is a momentary lapse in self-loathing
(That's what it is, that's what it is)
Love is a momentary lapse in self-loathing
(That's what it is, that's what it is)
Oh my slightly heavy eyelids
Lightning bolt from ground to sky
I sneak in a punch to the back of my [CENSORED]
I hear you tip-toe heavily by
And I try to imagine these weights removed
I'd shoot right off in to the moon
It's during decades like these I wonder
If I'm not the cause off all gravity
I think I have a greater respect
For people who hate me
Even more for those who don't feel the need
To even get to know me
My love would appear to've been butchered
And set laying rotten in the sun
Not much I can do about about that
But hide in a song
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need [CENSORED]
I think I need [CENSORED]
I think I need [CENSORED]
I think I need [CENSORED]
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need
Why don't I show you again
Why don't we take this right back to the start
I have a situation
Been going on for years
I can't seem to make peace with myself
I can't seem to make peace with myself
I can't seem to make peace with myself
Since you broke my heart
Broke my heart
Broke my heart
Broke my heart
The voices in my head shut them up I cannae get out
And hear what they're saying
The voices in my head here they come I cannae drown out
And here's what they're saying
You are the worst worst piece of shit that ever has lived
I didn't know what love was, but now I know
Niggling doubts are friendly moments of clarity and awe
And what about those characters I have to play
Strip them away
Strip them away
Strip them away
Strip them away
And there's a tart vinegar treacle pot
Bubbling away a boiling void of negativity
A rush of unspoken conceited despair
Imagine being chained to this the despair
Fuck off with your happiness
Fuck off with your happiness
Love is a momentary lapse in self-loathing
Love is a momentary lapse in self-loathing
Love is a momentary lapse in self-loathing
(That's what it is, that's what it is)
Love is a momentary lapse in self-loathing
(That's what it is, that's what it is)
Oh my slightly heavy eyelids
Lightning bolt from ground to sky

I think I need [CENSORED]
I think I need [CENSORED]
I think I need [CENSORED]
I think I need [CENSORED]
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need
I think I need
