The Noise Of Carpet Lyrics

Artist: Stereolab
Album: Emperor Tomato Ketchup

i hate to see your broken face
this world would give you anything
as long as you will want to
as long as you will want to
i hate your state of hopelessness
and that vain articulateness
your loser type wreck wanna be
not a pretty sight really
in another world it'd be funny

i hate to see your broken face
a lazy life of fatal waste
of fashionable cynicism
the poison they want you to drink
oh no man that's too easy
oh no man that's too easy
we weren't talking bout happiness
apply your leading potential
to be useful to this planet
the world would give you anything
as long as you will want to
as long as you will want to

ba da ba...

An ex put this song on the last ever compilation cd she gave me. Six years later I look up the lyrics...:)

To James C:

Damn.

At least you learned something from it! I'm in the same boat - this is the first time I've looked up the lyrics myself (as it's hard to interpret in the song). Great song.
