#11 No Self Control by Peter Gabriel

Lyrics

APOV

Got to get some food
I'm so hungry all the time
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop

Got to get some sleep
I'm so nervous in the night
I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop

Got to pick up the phone
I will call any number
I will talk to anyone
I know I'm gone too far
Much too far I gone this time
And I don't want to think what I've done
I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop

There are always hidden silences
Waiting behind the chair
They come out when the coast is clear
They eat anything that moves
I go shaky at the knees
Lights go out, stars come down
Like a swarm of bees

No self-control

You know I hate to hurt you
I hate to see your pain
But I don't know how to stop
No, I don't know how to stop

Street after street
Night after night
I walk on through the rainI walk on through the rain
I don't know how to stop

Shut Up

talking too much, I don’t know how to stop
I know I do it, I want to stop
voice too loud, people stare at me, all the time

uncontrolled brain says stop, but I don’t
hurtful things are said, cruel, perhaps insensitive
I didn’t mean that, honestly didn’t mean it

blunt, plain spoken, brutally honest
is this you? Can you stop?
I want to be stoic, want to be cool

I didn’t mean it, you know I didn’t mean it
I’ll stop this time, don’t leave, don’t go,
never again, never again, you know?

I’ll stop, I promise I’ll stop
one more time, just one more time
but I don't know how to stop  

Damn bitch!
