The Whole Shebang - Lyrics by Grant Lee Buffalo


Lyrics

(velvet goldmine soundtrack 1998)

Darlin' you can't live your life singing songs in exile
You were born for stardom's crown and not for self denial
So don't you close the door on fate when she comes to call
And tell her that you'll join her there at the masqueraders ball
Funny how some people never love at all

We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours the whole shebang

Nothing on this earth could hold you prisoner my dear
Except for contemplations evil brother known as fear
But love is extraterrestrial and love falls from the stars
Like maxwell demon's silver disc into this world of ours
Funny how we keep on loving true love power

We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
Come and claim what's yours the whole shebang

Ta ta ta
Yeah

Kick up your heels and paint your face wave goodbye to yesteryear
We could sway in outer space from the chandelier
Woe sometimes it breaks my heart i hide my tears

We'll take the whole shebang
All or nothing anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang
Free your heart of guilt and shame
And come and claim what's yours the whole shebang

We'll take the whole shebang (whole shebang)
All or nothing anything
Ecstasy's the birthright of our gang
We'll take the whole shebang (whole shebang)
Free your heart of guilt and shame
And come and claim what's yours the whole shebang
Yeah yeah yeah
