Foundations by Kate Nash
Thursday night, everything's fine
Except you've got that look in your eye
When I'm telling a story, and you find it boring
You're thinking of something to say
You'll go along with it, then drop it
And (1)__________________ me in front of our friends
Then I'll use (2)________ voice that you find annoying
And say something like,
"Yeah, intelligent input, darling.
Why don't you (3)________ have (4)______________ beer then?"
Then you'll call me a bitch
And everyone we're with will be embarrassed
And I won't give a shit
My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every time that you're upset and I smile
I (5)________ I should forget, but I can't
You said I must eat so many lemons
'Cause I am so bitter
I said, "I'd rather be with your friends, mate,
'Cause (6)________ are much fitter."
Yes, it was childish
And you got aggressive
And I must admit (7)________ I was a bit scared
But it (8)__________ me thrills to wind you up
My fingertips are (9)______________ onto
The cracks in our foundation
And I know (10)________ I should let go, but I can't
And every time we (11)__________ I know it's not right
Every time (12)________ you're upset and I smile
I know I (13)____________ forget, but I can't
Your (14)________ is pastey
'Cause you've gone and got so wasted
What a surprise
Don't want to look at your face, 'cause it's making me sick
You've gone and got (15)________ on my trainers
I only got these yesterday
Oh my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this
Well, I'll leave you there 'till the morning
And I purposely won't turn the heating on
And (16)________ God, I hope I'm not stuck (17)________ this one
My fingertips are (18)______________ onto
The (19)____________ in our foundation
And I know that I should let go, but I can't
And every time we fight I know it's not right
Every (20)________ that you're (21)__________ and I smile
I know I should forget, but I can't
And every (22)________ we fight I (23)________ it's not right
