Tongue - Live From Pyramid Stage, Glastonbury Festival / 1999 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Call my name, here I come
Ninety to nothing, watch me run
You call
I am ashamed to say
Ugly girls know their fate
Anybody can get laid
You want a room with a fire escape
I want to tell you how much I hate this
Don't leave that stuff all over me

[Chorus]
It pains me
Please just leave it

[Verse 2]
I box that poem, license plate
Toss that make-up-painted face
Box those poems, chocolate cake
Scratch that name on the record player
Please just leavе it
Don't lay that stuff all over me
It crawls all over
All ovеr me

[Bridge]
Call my name, here I come
Your last ditch lay, will I never learn?
Caramel turn on a dusty apology
It crawls all over me
You turn all over me
[Chorus]
It pains me
Please just leave it
Yeah, please just leave it
Yeah, please
Leave it

[Outro]
Thank you, ladies
What? Sing all night?
Yeah?
Well, okay

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
