No Poetry Lyrics by Gary Jules

Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets

2001

[Intro]
There's no poetry!
[Verse 1]
"There's no poetry between us"
Said the paper to the pen
Something's burning in the attic
That her tongue will not defend
[Pre-Chorus]
Through the arc of conversation
Past the teeth behind the smile
[Chorus]
Down the Miracle Mile
To the bottom of the ladder
Paint your eyes and hide the tatters
What's the matter?
Baby
[Post-Chorus]
Could we go downtown
To the middle of the world?
You were always such a pretty girl
And you told me I was beautiful
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
"There's no poetry between us"
Said the paper to the pen
"And I get nothing for my trouble
But the ink beneath my skin"
[Pre-Chorus]
If your clothes are getting weary
And your soul gone out of style
[Chorus]
Blame the Miracle Mile
And the bottom of the ladder
Paint your eyes and hide the tatters
What's the matter?
Baby
[Post-Chorus]
And I am coming too, ooh
And I am coming too, ooh
And I am coming too, ooh
Hmm, ooh, hmm-mm
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
