lyrics

Help me mother, cant you see, I'm not as pretty as i'd like to be?
Sit in crowds of motionless faces, watching success, its' teasing traces,
Sliding from the screen, anointing the best,
Turning its' beautiful back on the rest.
Back on the rest.

Help me mother, can't you see, I'm not as pretty as you need to be?
Feel cold and empty like an unknown sea, sinking to the depths of obscurity.
For those who give and those who take, only death is shared out equally.
Shared out equally.

Time is moving on.
Time to know if i could belong here.
Been waiting on a miracle, forever and a day.
Hoping that someone, could be anyone,
God just give me one, won't have to be a special one,
Feel the sadness, heal the madness,
Like to shout out loud just once, from gladness.

Help me mother, i can feel.
Feel for us addicted, fed. Following where we are led.
Feel for us, made of dreams.
Fed by scraps from LED screens.

Time is moving on.
Time to know if i could belong here.
Been waiting on a miracle, forever and a day.
Hoping that someone, could be anyone,
God just give me one, won't have to be a special one,
Feel the sadness, heal the madness,
Like to shout out loud just once, from gladness.

Help me mother, I'm not so pretty.

Nothing Hurt, Everything Was Beautiful
by Soulmates Never die

"Kyss Kyss" is one of the best tracks i have stumbled across in the last few years. With a memorable riff, rhythmical punch and lyrics that are both fresh and occasionally hilarious, this is a peach. Paul Connelly
