Love Like This lyrics - Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip

Years-years-years ago my mother used to say to me.
'In this world Elwood' she- she always called me Elwood.
'In this world Elwood, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant.'
Well for years I was smart; I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

If I'd known there was love like this I'd-a grabbed a fucking scalpel I'd-a slit my wrists in the goddamn delivery room
Hell I'd-a jumped back in the womb
love be the shit that's gonna seal my doom.

jj-jj-jj- just cause you made our bed doesn't mean you had to lie in it
look me in the eye sayin together till we die and shit
well feel my fuckin pulse cause I ain't fucking dead yet
listen close does it echo through your headset?
when we first met, I didn't know what I was doing
and I guess yo were sick of that girl's boyfriend you were screwing
instead of thinking in my head were you worth perusing
I shoulda looked into your eyes and seen a storm was brewing
but you needed a new angle so you intercepted my life line
I must admit you were looking good so i granted you my time
behind every acute angle you find an obtuse one
as a hand caressed my thigh over my head a fresh noose hung
but this one I thought maybe I could trust her
we'd grown close over time I though maybe I'd sussed her
I threw my heart shaped anchor with all the strength i could muster
it fell short and ripped up the hard seabed up in clusters
but that didn't phase me, I just kept on going
with my chest ripped open and my heart still showing
i was naive like that, see my mind was still groing
I thought with trust and persistence that the love would start flowing
but it didn't so I pushed and pushed to invoke
new levels of love but instead we just broke
at that point you chose to let me in
and that's where all the problems began to begin

[x2] If I'd known there was love like this I'd-a grabbed a fucking scalpel I'd-a slit my wrists in the goddamn delivery room
Hell I'd-a jumped back in the womb
love be the shit that's gonna seal my doom. [x2]

now just suppose I was to juxtapose my soft right cheek against your nose
would you look me in the eyes and fall in love like the T.V. shows?
or maybe if I took a rose with an envelope with a note enclosed
that said our love inside me like a flower grows
would it really make any fucking difference? cause it shouldn't
would you sell yourself for one cheap gesture?
cause I couldn't and I wouldn't
I know that's all it'd take to win you back
but I ain't looking to soil my shoes on such a well trodden track
so you can take your love by numbers and put it up on the rack
just impose your shit and baggage on some other mindless hack
now just suppose I was to juxtapose my tightened fist against your nose
releasing blood with color deeper than the deepest rose
releasing streams of anger that we all have yet no one shows
release me from the fucking chains of heartbreak that you sill impose
and that'd be wrong and I ain't gonna do it
but there ain't no harm in putting this plot in my mind and walking through it
so fuck you for still spending time with my friends
and fuck them for not knowing what's appropriate and when
and it's fuck up that all the good times seem to blend
into one big fucking mess from the beginning to the end
so take a good look at my face
and you'll see that this little smile seems outta place
now go ahead and look closer but I'll never let you trace
the tracks of my tears

[x3] If I'd known there was love like this I'd-a grabbed a fucking scalpel I'd-a slit my wrists in the goddamn delivery room
Hell I'd-a jumped back in the womb
love be the shit that's gonna seal my doom. [x3]

Reprise lyrics - Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip

This is my reprise
This is my reprise

Round here James Dean reigns supreme and we don't give a (gasp) about your scene
Round here James Dean reigns supreme and we don't give a (gasp) about your scene
Round here James Dean reigns supreme and we don't give a (gasp) (gasp)

If I cannot find a scene then I'll just make one
For every bridge that I repair I'll probably break one
But I decided long ago to let things out and not implode
So if you want to take a swing at me than take one

This last little track is less for you and more for me
A little exercise in expression and muscial therapy
See even if the glass is empty there's still residue inside
And that can taste as sweat as the residue that did once reside

The two people I miss most in my life begin with J
There's one that will probably think it's her but in all honesty it ain't
One will know it's him wherever he is today
And one will probably never know and I'll probably never say

You see sometimes emotion can feel just like a straight jacket
But if you still got legs running up the race track it's ok
Because every new emotion teachs something
And make sure every muscle in your heart keeps pumping

I mean take love, the most marketable emotion we possess
Finding love is at the ned of every quest for happiness
But I suggest that maybe if we loo through all that mess
We'll see the strength of the emotions that don't get such good press

For example anger, the thing that makes us fight
But that's just the case if the anger isn't being harnessed right
See anger just like love can cause a storm of motivation
If channeled right and not just seeping through in aggrevation

So many works for art, and literature through out the ages
Have stemmed from the dark hearts of those enbracing their rages
So then regret, I hate to say but it's a pointless one
If there's one thing you can't change, it's the things you've done
And the same goes for grief, in this life most things will come and go
You've just got to keep on learning, and enjoy the show

So, as I finally walk away I say goodbye and good health
As I finally walk away I wish you all you wish yourself

As I finally walk away I say goodbye and good health
As I finally walk away I wish you all you wish yourself

Round here James Dean reigns supreme and we don't give a (gasp) about your scene
Round here James Dean reigns supreme and we don't give a (gasp) about your scene
Round here James Dean reigns supreme and we don't give a (gasp) about your scene
Round here James Dean reigns supreme and we don't give a (gasp) about your scene

Round here, Round here, Round here, here, here, here, Round here, here here here...
