Marc Almond - Contempt lyrics

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 something of you
You'd run away with everything that I have
Take all my soul, sense and dignity too

Loving is the saddest game to play
Loving is the saddest game to play
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
