"The Common Cold" lyrics - MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS
[coughing and sneezing]
There is no known cure for the common cold
You said let's go on a break
Sounded a little bit fake
Sounded like you just wanted to go on a date
Well you don't need my permission
There's no point for me to keep
Wishing you were more, more
You're a world class liar
I am a damn pariah
Try to drag you higher
But the stars, they fracture
And now I'm piecin' together a puzzle of your face
But the part for your heart, it never fits into place
Oh-oh, place
Love is a turbulent sea
Are you scared to swim with me?
Swim past the fishermen's nets that have
Already tried to trap you and me
I remember when you said
"There are plenty of other fish in the sea,"
You said, "If this is love, then the current will
Bring you back, bring you back to me"
Bring you back to me
Feeling a certain shame
Let myself be treated this way
No, this won't happen again
Not over my dead body
Like two dumb dogs walking in circles
Got a feeling, was I just chasing
The wrong tail?
Well it's better having your head stuck up your ass
You can't sail
He said "You don't appreciate me"
Like a bastard on heat
Two weeks I couldn't eat
But I made my pain discreet
Wouldn't sit the exams
You wanted me to take
I'm above all your games
This shark won't fall for your bait
Oh woah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Plenty of fish in the sea
But I just wasn't hungry
Love is a turbulent sea
Are you scared of swimming with me?
Swim past the fishermen's nets that have
Already tried to trap you and me
I remember when you said
"There are plenty of other fish in the sea,"
You said, "If this is love, then the current will
Bring you back, bring you back to me."
Bring you back to me
