lyrics
Sugar, you are pushing your luck
You’re a silly girl, you-
You are not all true
Fast forward to the 9 word squall
“It’s all gone wrong and it’s not my fault!”
You’ve made a lovely home with attractive fabrication
Marzipan insulation, white washed walls
Everything is sweet until your enemy The Truth
Comes knocking at your door like the Big Bad Wolf
(Chorus)
Stop the show
Words to you are bubblewrap and sprinkles and snow
Time to let me know or let me go
Yes or no, yes or no
Yes or no yes or no-oh-oh-oh-oh
La da di! Yabba dabba doo I got an answer from you!
I wonder if it’s true
Or more protection, confection, eventual rejection and gloom
Oh you may kid yourself your problem is
You’re trying to please everyone
But is it more that everyone should always think you’re the special one?
The difference is significant, and you my friend magnificent –
Un-altruistic narcissistic patronizing **** Mandolin! ..... Cello!
You’ve made a lovely home with attractive fabrication
Marzipan insulation, white washed walls
Everything is sweet until your enemy The Truth
Comes knocking at your door like the Big Bad Wolf
(Lovely home, super show, sugar glow, pretty snow
Everything’s pretty sweet…)
(Chorus)
(it is time)
Words to you are handy tools
They help you out and keep you cool
They’re sugar sprinkles, pretty jewels
They’re bait for strangers, sweets for fools
They’re bubble wrap, smart deflection
Nobody is grateful
For your protection... you b***h
(Chorus)
You’re a silly girl, you-
You are not all true
Fast forward to the 9 word squall
“It’s all gone wrong and it’s not my fault!”
You’ve made a lovely home with attractive fabrication
Marzipan insulation, white washed walls
Everything is sweet until your enemy The Truth
Comes knocking at your door like the Big Bad Wolf
(Chorus)
Stop the show
Words to you are bubblewrap and sprinkles and snow
Time to let me know or let me go
Yes or no, yes or no
Yes or no yes or no-oh-oh-oh-oh
La da di! Yabba dabba doo I got an answer from you!
I wonder if it’s true
Or more protection, confection, eventual rejection and gloom
Oh you may kid yourself your problem is
You’re trying to please everyone
But is it more that everyone should always think you’re the special one?
The difference is significant, and you my friend magnificent –
Un-altruistic narcissistic patronizing **** Mandolin! ..... Cello!
You’ve made a lovely home with attractive fabrication
Marzipan insulation, white washed walls
Everything is sweet until your enemy The Truth
Comes knocking at your door like the Big Bad Wolf
(Lovely home, super show, sugar glow, pretty snow
Everything’s pretty sweet…)
(Chorus)
(it is time)
Words to you are handy tools
They help you out and keep you cool
They’re sugar sprinkles, pretty jewels
They’re bait for strangers, sweets for fools
They’re bubble wrap, smart deflection
Nobody is grateful
For your protection... you b***h
(Chorus)
