Crush With Eyeliner - Live From Pyramid Stage, Glastonbury Festival / 1999 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know you
I know you've seen her
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
Walking down the street
Will I never meet her?
She's a real woman-child
Oh, my kiss breath turpentine
[Chorus]
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Have you seen her come around?
Crush with eyeliner
[Verse 2]
I'm in like
I'm infatuated
It's all too much, the pressure
She's all that I can take
What position should I wear?
Cop an attitude? (Faker!)
How can I convince her? (Faker!)
That I'm invented, too, yeah
I know you
I know you've seen her
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
Walking down the street
Will I never meet her?
She's a real woman-child
Oh, my kiss breath turpentine
[Chorus]
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Have you seen her come around?
Crush with eyeliner
[Verse 2]
I'm in like
I'm infatuated
It's all too much, the pressure
She's all that I can take
What position should I wear?
Cop an attitude? (Faker!)
How can I convince her? (Faker!)
That I'm invented, too, yeah
[Chorus]
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
We all invent ourselves
And a-you know me, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
Yeah
[Verse 3]
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
She's her own invention (She's her own invention)
That gets me in the throat
What can I make myself be?
Life is strange, yeah (Life is strange)
What can I make myself be? (Faker!)
To make her mine?
[Chorus]
I am smitten
I'll do anything (I'll do anything)
A kiss breath turpentine
My crush with eyeliner
[Chorus]
I am smitten
A-you know me (Yeah, you know me)
I could be your Frankenstein
My crush with eyeliner
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
We all invent ourselves
And a-you know me, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
Yeah
[Verse 3]
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
She's her own invention (She's her own invention)
That gets me in the throat
What can I make myself be?
Life is strange, yeah (Life is strange)
What can I make myself be? (Faker!)
To make her mine?
[Chorus]
I am smitten
I'll do anything (I'll do anything)
A kiss breath turpentine
My crush with eyeliner
[Chorus]
I am smitten
A-you know me (Yeah, you know me)
I could be your Frankenstein
My crush with eyeliner
[Chorus]
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Won't you be my valentine?
My crush with eyeliner
[Outro]
Thank you, we're havin' a real good time here
Thank you a lot
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Won't you be my valentine?
My crush with eyeliner
[Outro]
Thank you, we're havin' a real good time here
Thank you a lot
