Dirty Little Secret

edited September 2009 in Lyrics I Love
here's something that you don't see
That you can't figure out
Something inside of me that I just can't get out
Well every now and then, I go wild, but I'll never tell

Cuz I hide my dirty little secret inside
You know I never tell a lie, no
So I have to hide

It doesn't matter to me
Means nothing at all
Just another dream
Just another fall
And what goes up must come down
But the world spins around

Cuz I hide my dirty little secret inside
You know I never, never confide, no
So I go and hide

And though I think it shows
Though I think they stay
I just look down
But no one really knows
No one really cares
Life just goes round and round

There's something that you don't see
That you can't figure out
Something I'd like to be, but I can't get it out
Well every now and then I go wild, but I'll never tell

And though I think it shows
Though I think they stay
I just look down
But no one really knows
No one really cares
Life just goes round and round

There's something that you don't see
That you can't figure out
Something inside of me that I just can't get out
Well every now and then, I go wild, but I'll never tell

Cuz I hide my dirty little secret inside
You know I'll never tell a lie, no
So I have to hide

Cuz I hide my dirty little secret inside
You know I never, never confide, no
So I have to hide
my dirty little secret inside

  • This didn't work out how I'd planned.
  • Gold teeth and a curse for this town were all in my mouth.
    Only, I don't know how they got out, dear.
    Turn me back into the pet that I was when we met.
    I was happier then with no mind-set.

    And if you'd 'a took to me like
    A gull takes to the wind.
    Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree
    And I'd a danced like the king of the eyesores
    And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

    New slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.
    Hope it's right when you die, old and bony.
    Dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,
    Never should have called
    But my head's to the wall and I'm lonely.

    And if you'd 'a took to me like
    A gull takes to the wind.
    Well, I'd 'a jumped from my tree
    And I'd a danced like the kind of the eyesores
    And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

    God speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,
    And bleed into their buns 'till they melt away.

    I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find.
    Without a trust or flaming fields am I too dumb to refine?
    And if you'd 'a took to me like
    Well I'd a danced like the queen of the eyesores
    And the rest of our lives would 'a fared well.

    oh lordy,
    trouble so hard
    oh lordy,
    trouble so hard,
    don't nobody know my troubles but God [x2]

    went down the hill,
    the other day
    my soul got happy
    and stayed all day

    went in the room,
    didn't stay long,
    looked on the bed

  • A woman on the radio talks about revolution
    when it's already passed her by
    but Bob Dylan didn't have this to sing about
    you know it feels good to be alive

    I was alive and I waited waited
    I was alive and I waited for this
    Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be
    Right here, right now, watching the world wake up from history

    I saw the decade in, when it seemed
    the world could change at the blink of an eye
    And if anything
    then there's your sign of the times

    I was alive and I waited waited
    I was alive and I waited for this
    Right here, right now

    I was alive and I waited waited

    Right here, right now, there is no other place I want to be
    Right here, right now, watching the world wake up
  • You burden me with your questions
    You'd have me tell no lies
    You're always asking what it's all about
    But don't listen to my replies
    You say to me I don't talk enough
    But when I do I'm a fool
    These times I've spent, I've realized
    I'm going to shoot through
    And leave you

    The things, you say
    Your purple prose just gives you away
    The things, you say
    You're unbelievable

    You burden me with your problems
    By telling me more than mine
    I'm always so concerned
    With the way you say
    You've always go to stop
    To think of us being one
    Is more than I ever know
    But this time, I realize
    I'm going to shoot through
    And leave you

    Seemingly lastless, don't mean
    You can ask us
    Pushing down the relative
    Bringing out your higher self
    Think of the fine times
    Pushing down the better few
    Instead of bringing out the clues
    To what the world and everything anger to
    Brace yourself with the grace of ease
    I know this world ain't what it seems.

    What the fuck was that
    It's unbelievable
  • Your purple prose just gives you away



    I love that line
  • If you could read my mind, love
    What a tale my thoughts could tell.
    Just like an old time movie

    'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
    In a castle dark or a fortress strong

    With chains upon my feet.
    You know that ghost is me.
    And I will never be set free
    As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see.

    If I could read your mind, love

    What a tale your thoughts could tell.
    Just like a paper back novel

    The kind the drugstores sell.
    Then you reached the part
    Where the heartaches come

    The hero would be me.
    But heros often fail

    And you won't read that book again
    Because the ending 's just too hard to take!

    I'd walk away like a movie star
    Who gets burned in a threeway script.
    Enter number two:
    A movie queen to play the scene
    Of bringing all the good things out of me.
    But for now
    love
    let's be real;
    I never thought I could feel this way
    And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
    I don't know where we went wrong

    But the feelin's gone
    And I just can't get it back.

    If you could read my mind
    love
    What a tale my thoughts could tell.
    Just like an old time movie

    'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.
    In a castle dark or a fortress strong

    With chains upon my feet.
    But stories always end
    And if you read between the lines
    You'd know that I'm just
    Tryin' to understand the feelin's that you lack.

    I never thought I could feel this way
    And I've got to say that I just don't get it.
    I don't know where we went wrong

    But the feelin's gone
    And I just can't get it back!
  • Every year is the same, and I feel it again
    I'm a loser, no chance to win
    Leaves start falling, come down is calling
    Loneliness starts sinking in

    But I'm one
    I'm one

    And I can see that this is me
    And I will be, you'll all see
    I'm the one

    Where d'you get those blue blue jeans
    Faded patched secret so tight
    Where d'you get that walk oh so lean
    Your shoes and shour shirt all just right

    But I'm one
    I'm one

    And I can see that this is me
    And I will be, you'll all see
    I'm the one

    I got a Gibson without a case
    But I can't get that even tanned look on my face
    Ill fitting clothes and I blend in the crowd
    Fingers so clumsy, voice too loud

    But I'm one
    I'm one

    And I can see that this is me
    And I will be, you'll all see
    I'm the one
  • I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
    I have my freedom but I don't have much time
    Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
    Let's do some living, after we'll die
  • Yeah when you call my name
    I salivate like a Pavlov dog
    Yeah when you lay me out
    My heart is beating louder than a big bass drum, alright
  • Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
    Talkin' to some rich folk that you know
    Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
    Well, you know I could never be alone

    Take me down little Susie, take me down
    I know you think you're the queen of the underground
    And you can send me dead flowers every morning
    Send me dead flowers by the mail
    Send me dead flowers to my wedding
    And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

    Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
    Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day
    Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
    And another girl to take my pain away

    Take me down little Susie, take me down
    I know you think you're the queen of the underground
    And you can send me dead flowers every morning
    Send me dead flowers by the mail
    Send me dead flowers to my wedding
    And I won't forget to put roses on your grave

    Take me down little Susie, take me down
    I know you think you're the queen of the underground
    And you can send me dead flowers every morning
    Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail
    Say it with dead flowers in my wedding
    And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
    No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
  • Just a perfect day
    Drink sangria in the park
    And then later, when it gets dark, we'll go home
    Just a perfect day
    Feed animals in the zoo
    Then later a movie too, and then home

    [Chorus:]
    Oh it's such a perfect day
    I'm glad I spent it with you
    Oh such a perfect day
    You just keep me hanging on
    You just keep me hanging on

    Just a perfect day
    Problems all left alone
    Weekenders on our own
    It's such fun

    Just a perfect day
    You make me forget myself
    I thought I was someone else
    Someone good

    [Chorus]

    You're going to reap just what you sow
    You're going to reap just what you sow
    You're going to reap just what you sow
    You're going to reap just what you sow
  • Every morning I've got a new chance
    I want to land the part of Eddie in The Stranger Dance
    Cause he gets to swordfight the duke
    He kidnaps the queen
    And you think the score's set but you can't truly see
    Til you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
    Til you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
  • Every morning I pull on them pants
    Mmm but I don't get out so much since I acquired St. Vitus dance
    I turn the news on a while
    I practice my scene
    You think things are straight but they're not what they seem
    Til you know the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
    In his coat and his boots and his blackheart machine
    No, no one knows the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
  • Every morning I've got a new chance
    I want to land the part of Eddie in The Stranger Dance
    He makes love to the duke
    He swordfights the queen
    He steals the whole show in his last dying scene
    No one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
    No, no one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
    No one sees the two sides of Monsieur Valentine
    Mmm hmmm mmm hmm hmm hmm

    - Thank you very much Katrina...

    BRIGHTER NOW

    Sitting on the beach,
    We watch the sun dance on the ocean.
    Turns the waves to liquid fire,
    But we know that they can't touch us.

    Hear a scream from far away,
    Flames dance across the horizon.
    Guns are barking out a symphony;
    We know that they can't hear us.

    For our love's higher than the mountain,
    Brighter than the stars above.
    I bought the book, I read the label,
    Wrote the script down in my cradle.

    Waited all my life for this moment...
    Make it real for now, make it for eternity...
    Eternity...
    Don't turn against me.

    Don't turn against me.

    Eternity...

    - Edward Ka-spel (The Legendary Pink Dots)
  • Tell her I'll be waiting
    In the usual place
    With the tired and weary
    There's no escape
    To need a woman
    You've got to know
    How the strong get weak
    And the rich get poor

    Slave to love (repeat)

    You're running with me
    Don't touch the ground
    We're the restless hearted
    Not the chained and bound
    The sky is burning
    A sea of flame
    Though your world is changing
    I will be the same

    Slave to love (repeat)
    And I can't escape
    I'm a slave to love

    Can you help me? (repeat)

    The storm is breaking
    Or so it seems
    We're too young to reason
    Too grown up to dream
    And the spring is turning
    Your face to mine
    I can hear your laughter
    I can see your smile

    Slave to love (repeat)
    And I can't escape
    I'm a slave to love

    It's a rainy afternoon
    In 1990
    The big city geez it's been 20 years-
    Candy-you were so fine

    Beautiful beautiful
    Girl from the north
    You burned my heart
    With a flickering torch
    I had a dream that no one else could see
    You gave me love for free

    candy, candy , Candy I can't let you go
    All my life you're haunting me
    I loved you so

    Candy, candy , Candy I can't let you go
    Life is crazy
    Candy baby

    Yeah, well it hurt me real bad when you left
    I'm glad you got out
    But I miss you
    I've had a hole in my heart
    For so long
    I've learned to fake it and
    Just smile along

    Down on the street
    Those men are all the same
    I need a love
    Not games
    Not games

    Candy, Candy, Candy I can't let you go
    All my life you're haunting me
    I loved you so
    Candy, Candy , Candy I can't let you go
    Life is crazy
    I Know baby
    Candy baby

    UOU UOU UOU
    Candy, Candy, Candy I can't let you go

    I loved you so

    Magnum Opus


    River of life, salt of the Earth
    We are the children of unseen worlds
    In this arena the strongest survives
    But only intact if they stay true to life

    And touched by a sparkle, a cool fire burns
    The flame is a guest but it has to return
    To its kingdom, its arising
    To its source

    The mystery lives in crystal and cell
    Untouchable real as the heartbeat itself
    The immanent life, an eminent line
    A journey more directional than defined

    A resonance ringing, a midnight sun burns
    What’s said by the words is what silence confirms
    The media of senses, of heart and of mind
    In worlds of the moment, the past left behind
    It leaves me all breathless, it feels so complete
    The heavens so still and the Earth so concrete
    And it calls me
    In a whisper
    In a scream

    Like a shadow that’s cast from above
    In this kingdom of flesh and of blood
    A superior allowance rules
    The Magnum Opus of life

    Calling for some, knowing you’re there
    Hiding away in own worlds, unaware
    Living in darkness, living without
    The beauty of life, of demand inside out

    Now stop the self-torture of doubt and of fear
    The fact that you are says you’re meant to be here
    To feel weak costs nothing, to rise above does
    A future is calling for each one of us
    And if you don’t want it, then die on your own
    I’m gonna proceed even if I’m alone
    ‘Cause I want it
    More than ever
    For us all

    Reasons known, reasons still to be found
    Where there’s will, there are ways, none without
    A superior allowance rules
    The Magnum Opus of life

    And it calls me
    In a whisper
    And it calls me
    In a scream

    When all is said and when all is done
    A moment alone will come to everyone
    To make you consider, to make you see clear
    What you have caused in the time you’ve been here

    It’s beginning
    So may each find what each seeks

  • is she weird
    is she weird, is she white
    is she promised to the night
    and her head has no room
  • She's Eternal


    I never wanted her to see
    The world inside me
    The world was turning 'round and 'round
    Like something running out of time

    She whispered 'listen to the wind' and her breath burned my skin
    I didn't understand but it made me feel so still
    There's a tale of the night, there's an unspoken word
    And the story that she told couldn't be explained in words

    'Cause she
    She's eternal
    With her the world dies
    And she
    She's eternal
    With her the world dies
    Let it die


    A stone that falls into the sea
    It falls inside me
    These winterlands, they never change
    They're covered in this quiet grey

    Voices calling in the night from the corners of my mind
    From the desolated worlds I was trying to leave behind
    Never thought I'd be returning to the place it all began
    To the tainted heart of longing, till she took me by the hand

    She came
    Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
    She came
    Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
    She came
    Blood on the rise, it's following me
    Think about the break of day

    She came and then she drove away
    Sunlight in her hair

    She came
    Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
    She came
    Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh
    She came
    Yeah the river runs red down the legs of a city
    She came
    The women are crying red rivers of weepin'

    She came into town and then she drove away
    Sunlight in her hair

    Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
    Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

    Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
    Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
    Blood in my love in the terrible summer
    Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.

    Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers
    Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
    Blood is the rose of mysterious union

    There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
    Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
    Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
    Blood on the rise, it's following me

    ”I want to believe in the nobility of the human spirit.
    I want to believe that mankind is essentially good and that the horror I see and the horrors I hear about are simply the last crisis of a dying spectre that has haunted our fragile globe for just to long.
    I want to believe that we are about to peel off the mask with which this spiteful god has been frightening us.
    I want to believe that we will not dance on his defeated rotting body for that would grant him victory in death.
    I want to believe that we will peel away the masks with which we frighten each other.
    I want to believe that no new spectre will replace the one that died and that we can stand alone and respect one another.
    love one another.
    respect and cherish life in all its shapes and sizes while continuing to evolve.
    I want to believe that mankind will never be too arrogant to abandon it’s quest for the ultimate answer.
    I want to believe that even I could answer this question.
    I want to believe all of these things?
    But you caught me at a bad moment…and I can’t.”

  • I like that!
    My favorite lyrics right now are from the Dandy Warhols' Godless, which are, unfortunately, the direct opposite sentiment of those by the Legendary Pink Dots:

    Hey, I said you were Godless then
    It seems like you're a soulless friend.
    As thoughtless as you were back then,
    I swear that you are Godless.

    Hey, I guess you're lonely, when
    I gave, you only took, So then
    It's stranger then its ever been.
    I guess it's what you wanted.

    Of late, it seems that
    lonely I will be.
    I beg, I bleed,
    but this is all that I've gotten.

    Hey, as for today, my friend,
    To hope that you could ever bend,
    I swear you are, I swear you are,
    I swear that you are Godless.

    Hey, I said you're Godless then.
    Hey, and you're a soulless friend,
    Hey, I said you're Godless and
    I swear, I swear

    You're Godless
    You're Godless
    You're Godless

    LOL! I miss those mornings when I would check the eMu board and find that you, Katrina, had been posting lyrics all night. And then the Texas (?) fellow, Joe Bob, Billy Bob, or whatever his name, would join in. Didn't he have two accounts? I cannot remember the name.
