Lyrics Kate Nash – Foundations

Thursday night,
Everything’s fine,
Except you’ve got that look in your eye,
When I’m telling a story

Then I’ll use that voice that you find annoyin’
And say something like
«Yeah, intelligent input darlin’. Why don’t you just have another beer then?»

Then you’ll call me a «bitch» and everyone we’re with will be embarrassed,
And I won’t give a shit.

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation,
And I know that I should let go,
But I can’t.
And every time we fight
I know it’s not right,
Every time that you’re upset and I smile
I know I should forget
But I can’t.

You said I must eat so many lemons,
‘Cause I am so bitter.
I said, «I’d rather be with your friends, mate,
‘Cause they are much fitter.»

Yes it was childish
And you got aggressive
And I must admit that I was a bit scared,
But it gives me thrills to wind you up.

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation,
And I know that I should let go,
But I can’t.
And every time we fight
I know it’s not right,
Every time that you’re upset and I smile
I know I should forget,
But I can’t.

Your face is pasty,
‘Cause you’ve gone and got so wasted,
What a surprise,
Don’t want to look at your face,
‘Cause it’s making me sick.

You’ve gone and got sick on my trainers,
I only got these yesterday.
Oh my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this.

Well I’ll leave you there ’til the mornin’,
And I purposely won’t turn the heating on
And dear God, I hope I’m not stuck with this one.

My fingertips are holding onto
The cracks in our foundation,
And I know that I should let go,
But I can’t.
And every time we fight
I know it’s not right,
Every time that you’re upset and I smile
I know I should forget
But I can’t.

And every time we fight
I know it’s not right,
Every time that you’re upset and I smile.
I know I should forget
But I can’t.

And every time we fight
I know it’s not right,
Every time that you’re upset and I smile.
I know I should forget
But I can’t.
