Poison And Roses lyrics - Boy George

Thinking about this song only about ten people will understand it

It's a total joke

But that's okay right? It's creative

It could expand

And cut

Oh, so much of kill now

So much of kill

Trauma is the catalyst

The fighter with the hardest fists

The toughest girl at school

Smoking in the boys' [?]

Ain't we smarter than this

A little bitty better than this

Do to me what I do to you

But it was already done

Poison and roses

What a combination

Throwin' all your poses

You thought that you knew me

Always saw straight through me

And I see how smart you are, in the back of Robert's car

I was obviously impressed, by your punk finesse

Forget about the rest

It's all about you

Keeping me down to earth, is it better than feeling anger?

Is it better than feeling nothing?

And if you feel too much, who would believe?

Poison and roses

What a combination

Throwin' all your poses

Poison and roses

Cutting off your own noses

To spite someone else's [?] face

He's an old man now, but he can't forget

All the pain he caused

And he jokes about it, while we choke about it

Forgive me

If you ever wanna know yourself

Forgive me

You set me up to fail

Poison and roses

What a combination

Throwin' all your poses

Poison and roses

Cutting off your own noses

To spite someone else's [?] face

Keeping me down to earth, is it better than feeling nothing?

Is it better than feeling anger?

And if you're not part of the [?] don't stress

We'll be the queens of the future just a much better dress

[?] no contest

Geoffrey Hinton just confessed

Hit the tape
