Can't believe that I got so down I dropped my guard again, hit me, hit me Palpitations and goo-goo eyes The transformation is sad and sickly She pulled out a Tyson from out of the blue And met with a sickening crunch She got me, woah, she got me She got me with a suckerpunch Senses reeling from too much shit I hit the floor again, panic, panic Calm and cold as a witch's tit Sometimes I think that that girl's mechanic With all of the shit that flew out of my lips There’s no use in asking much She got me, woah, she got me She got me with a sucker, sucker, sucker Woah, you fucker! One, two, three, four! Why I see her face in a million stars, I'm wondering? Thought I had good taste 'til I found I'd none at all Nearly did appear as the asshole of the year And then she strikes And now I'm back, the guy I'd been Before the idiot set in Can't believe that I got so down It probably happens on a daily basis Many millions of messed up minds Compete to win in the loser races Peeling my mind like she's one of a kind Or maybe just out to lunch She got me, woah, she got me She got me with a suckerpunch

And in the time it takes to feel, I could swear that you get closer every day And my only hope is when it all comes real, I don't fuck it up and throw it all away 'cos every time the chaos starts - time after time The message screams into my heart, we're always an ocean apart (you're always in my heart) CHORUS: Oh, woah, woah, you beautiful thing you You beautiful thing you, you beautiful thing (aah-aa aah-aa aah-aah-aah) Oh, woah, woah, you beautiful thing you You beautiful thing you, you beautiful thing When I console myself when life is throwing spears, there's a growing love the spirit deep inside And a part of me has felt it getting near, trying patiently to brave the great divide And if I fall I won't look down - I'll face the sky I'll be there second time around - to practice the balance I've found (I'll always be around) CHORUS Always an ocean apart (you're always in my heart) CHORUS (you beautiful thing) You beautiful thing (you beautiful thing) You beautiful thing

Here sitting in my room With the Replacements and Hüsker Dü Like a rebel without a clue And the Beatles and the Stones Get to hang out with Ramones And the Pistols shunning fame As they sing the old refrain As they always will again Like 29 times the pain I see Starz And the mood is Big and Black Well, there's a full Sheer Heart Attack A-but the Cheapest Trick of all Is when I hear that London Call I need something and I need it fast I need Jason Scorching past I need to feel they feel the same 'Cause when they almost know my name It's like 29 times the pain, times the pain 29 times the pain, times the pain 29 times the pain, times the pain Times the pain But it all ends up the same (Thanks Pink) Kiss my Heart Like The Damned did from the start Come on, make me feel like me S.L.F. or B.O.C Give me old, give me new Let me know you feel it too 'Cause the sounds of Twisted girls It's a brave new world I'm up, how could I get down When I've got all my friends around? And I can be there once again Oh God, I miss Kurt Cobain It's like 29 times the pain, times the pain 29 times the pain, times the pain 29 times the pain, times the pain Times the pain (And all the gaps in all the gain) Times the pain (Tomorrow always cries my name) Times the pain (It makes it all worthwhile again) Be kind to your web-footed friends 'Cause a duck might be somebody's mummy They live in the rivers and swamps Where the weather is always damp Well, you may think that this is the end Well, it is
