Cherry Animals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna stay there now
Don't wanna fight them
Despite I might know how
Not gonna stand it
Not gonna stand it more
I'm suffocated
Thank you
Thank you my guiding light
You won't
You won't even notice me
Promise
Promise I'm alright
I've got
No other place to be
Mommy's not happy
And sister's not happy
My wife is not happy
And mother in law is there
Morning
Morning, I'll have a pint
Good day
Good day, I'll get a life
Evening
Evening, my soul is giant
Good night
My trouble and endless strife
Mommy's not happy
And sister's not happy
My wife is not happy
And mother in law is there
Not wasted
Not sober
Not winning
A quiz
Don't wanna be there
Don't wanna stay there now
Don't wanna fight them
Despite I might know how
Not gonna stand it
Not gonna stand it more
I'm suffocated
Just like the cheapest whore
I wanna be one of the greatest
I wanna get results at once when I strive
I wanna be friends with the waiters
Wanna be worth living life
Thank you
Thank you my guiding light
You won't
You won't even notice me
Promise
Promise I'm alright
I've got
No other place to be
Mommy's not happy
And sister's not happy
My wife is not happy
And mother in law is there
Not shitfaced
Not sober
Not winning
A quiz
Don't wanna be there
Don't wanna stay there now
Don't wanna fight them
Despite I might know how
Not gonna stand it
Not gonna stand it more
I'm suffocated
Just like the cheapest whore
Don't wanna be there
Don't wanna stay there now
Don't wanna fight them
Despite I might know how
Not gonna stand it
Not gonna stand it more
I'm suffocated
Just like the cheapest whore
