Streetlight Manifesto- The receiving end of it all

Another awesome streetlight song.
Lyrics:So Marigold, my love, you've had too much to drink
And I need not remind you, our discount tickets for this sinking ship
Take-backs and sweet regrets, that's all that we have left
No one is looking out for anyone but number one

One to one, two to dance, we all get our sweet romance
Though sour grapes will turn to wine its all just vinegar with time
And oh, I want to know, we all want to know
How can anybody treat somebody so?

She said it hurts too much
I said it will never hurt enough
No one will ever see these cuts
No one will ever call this bluff
But that's just the way that it goes

And when he left us he said, "It's not so bad"
That motherfucker he took everything we had
And when I'm thinking back, I'm counting all the ways
Nobody helped us so we dreamt of better days
And we sang: "Yeah that's just the way that it goes"

Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like
And we broke all our promises and baby that ain't right
Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all
Take it back, take it back because you don't know what it's like
to be on the receiving end of it all

No! no! You were not on the receiving end of it all [4x]

You beg and plead, but no one here can save you
Why would they try when they can't quite save themselves?

So Marigold, someday we'll have to write a script
But I won't stop denying ashamed of all the selfish things we did
Dropped out of every single friendship that you had
They nearly loved you, but you never could have loved somebody back

Tell me of your sorrows; tell me everything from the start
I'd like to do my part to help a friend in need
I said you could come to me, but when you needed someone most,
I wasn't there, I wasn't even...

She said it hurts too much
I said it will never hurt enough
No one will ever see these cuts
No one will ever call this bluff
But that's just the way that it goes

And when he left us he said, "It's not so bad"
That motherfucker he took everything we had
And when I'm thinking back, I'm counting all the ways
Nobody helped us so we dreamt of better days
And we sang: "Yeah that's just the way that it goes"

Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like
And we broke all our promises and baby that ain't right
Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all
Take it back, take it back because you don't know what it's like
to be on the receiving end of it all

No! no! You were not on the receiving end of it all [4x]

You beg and plead, but no one here can save you
Why would they try when they can't quite save themselves?

Yeah, we used to be in love (my love!), but now we're just in like
And we broke all our promises and baby that ain't right
Because you don't know what it's like to lose it all
Take it back, take it back because you don't know what it's like
to be on the receiving end of it all

No! no! You were not on the receiving end of it all [4x]

You beg and plead, but no one here can save you
Why would they try when they can't quite save themselves?

Ska isn't really liked in my school, or at least I don't know anyone other than my friends that listen to SM.

[mithrilgeek]

ya same here :\

[DamnRightItsMe]

i was unaware that listening to music became a popularity contest.

[Spyke378]

Ska is fucking amazing. But honestly guys, we haven't been considered cool since 1997........

[MrAndocet]

There are no words to describe 4:13 - 4:36

[XfarglesX]

Ska is making a comeback, just watch

[midwestfrankie]

4:14 till the end gives me a raging boner



[ThyWorstNightmare]

Man my best friend showed me SM, and now we have a ska band. We just got all the people, but look out for Abstract Concept. we're working on writing stuff, but it definately is hard to coordinate 9 people

[W0lfgang95]

at my school iv only met 1 person who actually knows who streetlight manifesto is

[Cornpuffer]

The amount of talent in this music is almost extinct.

Glad there are those like Streetlight who keep the power of good music alive

[AltCommunication]

The horn part at 4:12 almost made me crie, so intense...

[flamingteddybears1]

@PineapplesOflove me to

[Guntrak]

These guys are insane, they just make awesome music that never gets boring! Seen them so many times live and they rocked!...They deserve so much more praise than the mainstream crap!

[MrLawlhi]

@TheAirborneKite lol me too for a long time, i thought that sounded a lot more poetic than "bluff". Whatever though, still not a bad line.
