Perfectly Perfect Lyrics

Elizabeth & The Catapult

I'm just so perfectly perfect,
except when I'm not.
I'm just so seemingly sunny,
till things get too hot.
And we're both so foolishly naughty,
until we get caught...

Chances are that our love is now utterly thoroughly shot!

Cause my life's so perfectly funny
that is till it's not.
And we'll be so stupidly happy,
till the cannonball drops.
And my dreams are ever so tempting,
until they go pop pop...

Chances are that our love is now utterly thoroughly shot!

Cause we're all so perfectly perfect,
but not for long.
And we'll be so perfectly perfect,
till we're forced to move on.
And we're both so pitifully clueless
to what we've become...

Chances are that our love is now utterly thoroughly done.

The more you...
Think that you're right chances are that you're probably wrong.

When I was a girl I dreamt of my twin
She shared all my flaws, she lived in my skin
She always forgave me no matter the sin
She finished my jokes before I'd begin
When I got older I asked for a dog
I dressed him in my clothes, I taught him right from wrong
I told him to love me more than his bone
But he ran after a milk truck and he never came back home
Oh dear me
What a strange peculiar thing
That I should always see
Someone just like me
Oh can it be
Such a constant ache in me
That I should always see
That complimentary me
Oh all of my lovers, they all end the same
They see what I am and they all fly away
'Cause I pick at their scabs and I rub off their stains
Til they can't quite recall their own God-given names
Oh dear me
What a strange peculiar thing
That I should always see
Someone just like me
Oh can it be
Such a constant ache in me
That I should always see
Someone just like me
Oh dear me
Oh dear me
Oh can it be
Such a constant ache in me
That I should always see
That complimentary me

If you want a girl to be your mother
Go find another, go find another one
You only call me when your life’s going under
I’m not just a cover, not just a cover up
And then you want to be the tough guy, with an appetite
Well I’m not going to stop you
But if you’re looking for a bed to recover on
Go find another one, go find another one
And you’re a grown boy, such a grown boy
Don’t expect the world to clean up for you
Cause they don’t have to
Don’t expect the stars to line up for you
They’ll shine right past you
You seem to think you always get exactly what you ask for
Well I’m not your mother
(……..)
If you want a girl to be your mother
Go find another, go find another one
You only call me when you’re down on your dollar
I’m not just a cover, not just a cover up
And then you want to be the tough guy, with an appetite
You want to eat you cake, don’t you
But if you’re looking for a bed to recover on
Go find another one, go find another one
And you’re a grown boy, such a grown boy
Don’t expect the world
Don’t expect the world
Don’t expect the world to clean up for you
Cause they don’t have to
Don’t expect the stars to line up for you
They’ll shine right past you
You seem to think you always get exactly what you ask for
Well I’m not your mother
If you want a girl to be your mother
Go find another, go find another one
You only call me when your life’s going under
I’m not just a cover, not just a cover up
