Gloomy Sunday lyrics - Emilie - Autumn

Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach of
sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Wouldn't they be angry
If I thought of joining you?
Gloomy Sunday 

Gloomy is Sunday,
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be flowers
And prayers that are sad I know
let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday

Medicate With Tea lyrics - Emilie Autumn

I don't do crack
I've never seen cocaine
Unfortunately, I rarely pop an aspirin when in pain
'Cause I wanna be
Of alcohol or any drug at all completely free
But I self medicate with tea

Doot da doot doot 

I know just where to go to get my fix
The beverage aisle
At Starbucks, I confess, I get my kicks
I'm notin denial
My oolong heals, your dealer deals for quite a hefty fee
So I self medicate with tea

Do do do do

It's not that I'm not miserable as any old drunk 
My life is no more bearable than any old junkie's
I'd jump out a window, suicide's a sin though
I've found another way 
there's no amount I wouldn't pay
to overdose on earl gray or English breakfast

When I'm hopped up on caffeinated chai
I'm feeling the buzz
And when you asked if I'd like to get high
I already was
It's black or green or in between 
Sometimes it looks like weed
But my self medicating
Improves my mental stating

I don't need to go to rehab or to set up a meth lab
I may be a cynic but the Betty Ford clinic
Isn't ever gonna break me from my habit of choice
It's my Opium, my Xanax, and it's good for my voice
I hope you comprehend my reasoning
Twinings, Liptons, even Celestial Seasonings
Keep you marijuana I've got my own remedy
I self, self medicate with tea

Boom
It's camomile, yeah

Tea Will Rock You lyrics - Emilie Autumn

Muffin you're a mouse in a big house playing in your cage
Gonna be a big rat some day
You've got cake on your face, you big disgrace,
dripping your tea all over the place.

Tea will, tea will rock you,
Tea will, tea will rock you.
(huh)

Crumpet, you're a young rat, small rat, 
Shouting in the street, gonna wreck you're first tea party
You've got cake on your face, you big disgrace
Waving your tail all over the place

Singing:

Tea will, tea will rock you
(C'mon)
Tea will, tea will rock you

Rat, you're a big rat, smart rat,
Scratching with your paws, gonna spread you some plague some day. 
C'mon get on the stage, let out your rage, 
No-body gonna put you back into your cage.

Tea will, tea will rock you
(Everybody)
Tea will, tea will rock you

Willow lyrics - Emilir Autumn

Willow, weep for me 
Bow your tallest tree 
Down to the infamous hands 
Of someone no one understands 

I'm not unique in this 
It's based on none but my mistake 
At night I lie awake 
Thinking of all the hearts I'd happily break 

It's cruel I know 
At least they tell me so 
Well someone lock me up and throw away the key 
Because I'm not ashamed, oh no 
Oh, willow 

That I only write love songs 
To those whom I don't love 
I only reach for him 
Who's tied to someone else's glove 
That which I hold inside 
Which I admire and deride 
Which I protect and hide is yours 

Willow, weep for me 
Don't think I don't see 
This life I'm living in two 
But still it's something I must do 
I'm not unique in this 
Nor am I special, sweet or kind 
I court a thousand smiles 
Yet I keep my own to hide behind 

It's cruel I know 
At least they tell me so 
Well someone lock me up and throw away the key 
Because I'm not ashamed, oh no 
Oh, willow 

That I only write love songs 
To those whom I don't love 
I only reach for him 
Who's tied to someone else's glove 
That which I hold inside 
Which I admire and deride 
Which I protect and hide is yours 

Slander and distension 
They're parlor games to me 
Papers overrun with lies too mad to mention 
You say they never hurt you 
No consequence, I'm happy 
We're much too far above it all 
But oh no, that's not true 
These wicked pastimes take their toll 
These tyrant vices break your soul 
Deliver me from all I am 
And all I never want to be 

I love you (Oh willow, willow, willow) 
Doubt me not 
Rewrite this plot for all to see 

And I only write love songs 
To those whom I don't love 
I only reach for him 
Who's tied to someone else's glove 
That which I hold inside 
Which I admire and deride 
Which I protect and hide is yours 

Bend your branches to the ground and hold me close 
Let me harmonize with all we knew 
Share your sympathy and weep for me 
Oh, willow, heal the hearts I've broken 
Make me pure and start my song anew 

For I only write love songs 
To those whom I don't love 
I only reach for him 
Who's tied to someone else's glove 
That which I hold inside 
Which I admire and deride 
Which I protect and hide is yours

"A Bit O' This & That" (2007)




What If Lyrics – Emilie autumn

Here you sit in your high-backed chair
Wonder how the view is from there
I wouldn't know 'cause I like to sit
Upon the floor, yeah upon the floor
If you like we could play a game
Let's pretend that we are the same
But you will have to look much closer
Than you do, closer than you do
And I'm far too tired to stay here anymore
And I don't care what you think anyway
'Cause I think you were wrong about me
Yeah what if you were, what if you were
And what if I'm a snowstorm burning
What if I'm a world unturning
What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
What if I'm the kindest demon
Something you may not believe in
What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep

I know you've got it figured out
Tell me what I am all about
And I just might learn a thing or two
Hundred about you, maybe about you
I'm the end of your telescope
I don't change just to suit your vision
'Cause I am bound by a fraying rope
Around my hands, tied around my hands
And you close your eyes when I say I'm breaking free
And put your hands over both your ears
Because you cannot stand to believe I'm not
The perfect girl you thought
Well what have I got to lose
And what if I'm a weeping willow
Laughing tears upon my pillow
What if I'm a socialite who wants to be alone
What if I'm a toothless leopard
What if I'm a sheepless shepherd
What if I'm an angel without wings to take me home

You don't know me
Never will, never will
I'm outside your picture frame
And the glass is breaking now
You can't see me
Never will, never will
If you're never gonna see
What if I'm a crowded desert
Too much pain with little pleasure
What if I'm the nicest place you never want to go
What if I don't know who I am
Will that keep us both from trying
To find out and when you have
Be sure to let me know
What if I'm a snowstorm burning
What if I'm a world unturning
What if I'm an ocean, far too shallow, much too deep
What if I'm the kindest demon
Something you may not believe in
What if I'm a siren singing gentlemen to sleep
Sleep...
Sleep...

Hollow Like My Soul Lyrics – Emilie autumn

Hollow like my soul

You think that you'll get by
You will die
You will cry
When you think that you'll survive
Just don't try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul

You think that you'll get by
You will die
You will cry
When you think that you'll survive
Just don't try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul

Just as I was walking by
My soul died
My heart cried
When you think that you'll survive
Just don't try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul

So many times I ask myself
So many times I wonder why
So many times I ask myself
So many times I wonder why

You think that you'll get by
You will die
You will die
When you think that you'll survive
Just don't try
Run and hide
My eyes are hollow like my soul
My eyes are hollow like my soul

Hollow like my soul
You think that you'll get by
You will die
You will cry
When you think that you'll survive
Just don't try
Run and hide
Run and hide
Run and hide

By The Sword Lyrics – Emilie autumn

"Days of old"
I tell my restless mind
Searching mountains
Fields
And meadows green
What is it
My heart can hope to find
All that I long for
I have never seen
Tales of glory written in the dust
Tapestries of deepest purple gold
Legends carved in stone
Tell me I must
Journey through the mist
And bitter cold

But in this brotherhood
I still believe
And for the ones we've lost
My soul will grieve
Yet through the world alone I wander
For I know somewhere
I will find my brothers
By the sword
I swear

In my memory
Awakening
Like a dream too sweet
To cast away
Shadows of the past begin to sing
Calling out to me
In their gallant way
Come away with us
Brother in arms
Through the seas of silver
Fields of gold
Join us as we battle those who harm
And fight with valour as
In days of old

But in this brotherhood
I still believe
And for the ones we've lost
My soul will grieve
Yet through the world alone I wander
For I know somewhere
I will find my brothers
By the sword
I swear

Seeking in the corners of the earth
My companions
I have never known
Blindly running forth
Is honor worth
Endless hours of silence spent
Alone?

But in this brotherhood
I still believe
And for the ones we've lost
My soul will grieve
Yet through the world alone I wander
For I know somewhere
I will find my brothers
By the sword
I swear

Rescue damsels fine
And maidens fair
Free the noble
Who have done no wrong
Though it seems the world
May little care
Some are left that to
The Round belong

But in this brotherhood
We still believe
(I still believe)
And for the ones we've lost
Our souls will grieve
(My soul will grieve)
Yet through the world alone we wander
For we know somewhere
We will find our brothers
By the sword we swear

By the sword I swear
I will find my brothers
I will find my sisters
I will find my brothers
I will find my sisters
By the sword I swear

I Don't Care Much Lyrics – Emilie autumn

I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care very much
Either way
Hearts grow hard
On a windy street
Lips grow cold
With the rent to meet

So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much

I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care
Very much
Either way
Words sound false
When your coat's too thin
Feet don't waltz
When the roof caves in

So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much

I don't care much
Go or stay
I don't care
Very much
Either way
Words sound false
When your coat's too thin
Feet don't waltz
When the roof caves in

So if you kiss me
If we touch
Warning's fair
I don't care very much

Warning's fair
I don't care very much
Go or stay...

I Know It's Over (Live) (originally by The Smiths) Lyrics – Emilie autumn

Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
See, the sea wants to take me
The knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me?
Sad veiled bride, please be happy
Handsome groom, give her room
Loud, loutish lover, treat her kindly
(Though she needs you
More than she loves you)
And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over, la...
I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real
And you even spoke to me, and said...
"If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight?
And if you're so clever
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very entertaining
Then why are you on your own tonight?
If you're so very good-looking
Why do you sleep alone tonight?
I know...
'Cause tonight is just like any other night
That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms
While they're in each other's arms..."
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is natural and real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is natural and real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my...
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can even feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my...
