lyrics

Someone must have seen you
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Someone must have done something
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Someone must have been with you
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Someone must have said something
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t

Down by the bins, fell
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Down on the thing, tell
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Been through this hell
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Seen through this hell
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t

Is this the binge of the thing or the other kind of thing?
Is this the wing of the thing that could never learn to fly?
Must it have been borne up on a king size bed?
With a muffle in your head
What is the singing in your ear
Do you know when you began to hear?
Or the shuffle, shuffle – did it play out the way that
Shuffle, shuffle….you couldn’t give a fuck anyway

Can I use your phone, boy?Can I use your phone
I’ve lost all my money, boy? Can I use your money?
You’re kind of cute boy? Can you take me home?
You’re kind of cute boy? Can you take me home?

By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die

Were you naked in a room full of adults boy
Did you cry as the room went for silent? boy

Was it years before they let you forget it – boy
How often have you run from the room boy

By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die
By the end of the thing I would rather die

Someone must have seen you
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Someone must have done something
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Someone must have been with you
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Someone must have said something
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
Shouldn’t
