The Whole Shebang Lyrics - Grant Lee Buffalo

(velvet goldmine soundtrack 1998) 

Darlin' you can't live your life singing songs in exile 

You were born for stardom's crown and not for self denial 

So don't you close the door on fate when she comes to call 

And tell her that you'll join her there at the masqueraders ball 

Funny how some people never love at all 

We'll take the whole shebang 

All or nothing anything 

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang 

We'll take the whole shebang 

Free your heart of guilt and shame 

Come and claim what's yours the whole shebang 

Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner my dear 

Except for contemplations evil brother known as fear 

But love is extraterrestrial and love falls from the stars 

Like maxwell demon's silver disc into this world of ours 

Funny how we keep on loving true love power 

We'll take the whole shebang 

All or nothing anything 

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang 

We'll take the whole shebang 

Free your heart of guilt and shame 

Come and claim what's yours the whole shebang 

Ta ta ta 

Yeah 

Kick up your heels and paint your face wave goodbye to yesteryear 

We could sway in outer space from the chandelier 

Woe sometimes it breaks my heart I hide my tears 

We'll take the whole shebang 

All or nothing anything 

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang 

We'll take the whole shebang 

Free your heart of guilt and shame 

And come and claim what's yours the whole shebang 

We'll take the whole shebang (whole shebang) 

All or nothing anything 

Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang 

We'll take the whole shebang (whole shebang) 

Free your heart of guilt and shame 

And come and claim what's yours the whole shebang 

Yeah yeah yeah
