Contempt Lyrics - 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 

Photos 

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
