Reasons to Be Beautiful (Live at Brixton Academy, London, UK, June 24, 1999)

[Verse 1]

Love hangs herself

With the bed sheets in her cell

I threw myself on fires for you

Ten good reasons to stay alive

Ten good reasons that I can't find

[Chorus]

Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful

So sick in his body so sick in his soul

Oh, give me one reason to sell you my soul

Oh, and everything I am, hey!

[Verse 2]

Love hates you

I live my life in ruins for you

And for all your secrets kept

I squashed the blossom and the blossom's dead

[Chorus]

Oh, give me a reason to bе beautiful

So sick in your body so sick in your soul

Oh, and I will make myself so bеautiful

Oh, and everything I am, hey!

[Bridge]

Miles and miles of perfect skin

I swear I do, I fit right in

My love burns through everything

I cannot breathe

Miles and miles of perfect sin

I swear, I said, I fit right in

You fit right in your perfect skin

I cannot breathe

[Interlude]

Hey, baby, take it all the way down

Hey, baby, taste me anyway

Oh, you were born

So pretty, oh, summer babe

We'll never know

And fading like a rose

[Chorus]

Give me a reason to be beautiful

So sick in her body so sick in her soul

I'll give you her body just sell me your soul

Oh, and everything I am will be bought and sold

Oh, and everything I am will turn hard and cold

[Verse 3]

And they say in the end

You'll get bitter just like them

God, don't steal my heart away

When the fire goes out you better learn to fake

It's better to rise than fade away

[Outro]

Hey, you were right

Named a star for your eyes

Did you freeze? Did you weep?

Turn to gold, baby, sleep

Hey, honey mine

I was there all the time

And I weep at your feet

And it rains and rains

It is no more!

[Spoken Outro: Melissa Auf der Maur]

It's very sweaty in your kind of foggy city. It's marinated with the sex sweat, Jesus
