Contempt - Marc Almond

I’m trying to wash the taste away

I’m trying to wash the taste away

Trying not to cry the night away

Trying not to cry the night away

I’m finding a bitter word to say

And I’m finding it easier every day

Contempt

Every day it fills me Contempt

Every day it kills me Contempt

Every tear that blinds me Contempt

Building up inside me One kiss and the poison melts away

One smile and the poison melts away

I’m trying not to cry the nights away

I’m trying not to cry the nights away

I’m finding a bitter word to say

And I’m finding it easier every day

Contempt

Every day it fills me Contempt

Every day it kills me Contempt

Every tear that blinds me Contempt

Building up inside me You came crawling out the woodwork

Like some ghost from my past

With stories 'bout me That I’d long since forgot

Telling me tales of how big you are now

But I know you as nothing

As nothing you got

You’d split me wide open

And spill all my beans

Because you think

That I still think
