Lyrics Nellie McKay

Nellie McKay

There You Are In Me

Every single thing will only bring another sad solution

Every single hurt will only curse another substitution

Everyone you meet secures a wretched seat within your memory

Wipe their filthy feet upon the yearning of your soul

There you are in me

No one ever loved me

Not at school and home was so sadistic

I don't wanna be another fool another sad statistic

Everyone you know secures a wretched glow within your memory

Wipe their filthy toes upon the yearning of your mind

There you are in me

Mother, mother why you tear away

Counting up the stars like any other

Brother, brother can you hear me say

Not that far I've just gone undercover

Selfish, stupid, so self-serious

Balderdash, I got no money

Selfish, stupid, so delirious

Leave me 'nuff alone

Uptight, upright, long nights, furious

Darwin asked "You Got The Money?"

Big cry, big guy, fish eye curious

Can this be my home?

Everyone you tell secures a wretched hell within your memory

Wipe their filthy smell upon the yearning of your mind

There you are in me

Mother, mother why you tear away

Counting up the stars like any other

Brother, brother can you hear me say

Not that far I've just gone undercover

Dumbass, smartass, so self serious

What disgrace I got no money

Well read, dope-ed, so delirious

Leave me 'nuff alone

Frothin', coughin', so ridiculous

Face to face, "You got the money?"

Upset, inbred white trash glorious

Can this be my home

Everyone you touch secures a wretched crutch within your memory

Wipe their filthy mush upon the yearning of your soul

There you are in me
