‘Fuck With My Soul'

Why bother singing a bitter torch song
To the lover who spurned you, when they have moved on?
And why waste bile on how you've been wronged?
The one whose ears should hear has long since gone

Unlike you, I mean no harm to anyone
But I've been kicked in the teeth twice as hard, for twice as long

Patronise and madden me -
Fuck with my soul
Ostracise and sadden me –
Fuck with my soul
Use, abuse and distress me –
Fuck with my soul
Disillusion and depress me –
Fuck with my soul

I could really do things with my life
But the rain just keeps on pouring down outside

For once in my life, all I ask is
To be able to think the best of someone and not be shafted
All I look for is simple kindness, which
Can't be a concept too complex or alien to imagine

You tell me I'm ‘too kind' in tones so withering
So why, having come so far down this road, do I have nothing?

Patronise and madden me -
Fuck with my soul
Ostracise and sadden me –
Fuck with my soul
Use, abuse and distress me –
Fuck with my soul
Disillusion and depress me –
Fuck with my soul

I could really do things with my life
But the rain just keeps on pouring down outside

Unlike you, I mean no harm to anyone
But I've been kicked in the teeth twice as hard, for twice as long

You tell me I'm ‘too kind' in tones so withering
So why, having come so far down this road, do I have nothing?

Patronise and madden me -
Fuck with my soul
Ostracise and sadden me –
Fuck with my soul
Use, abuse and distress me –
Fuck with my soul
Disillusion and depress me –
Fuck with my soul

I could really do things with my life
But the rain just keeps on pouring down outside
I can quite believe I'll die before I see the sun shine
Because the rain just keeps on pouring in my eyes.
