Various Artists Carnation - Liam Gallagher Lyrics

If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me youll have no escape
And at the same time therell be nowhere to settle -
I trample down all life in my wake
I eat it up and take the cake
I just avert my eyes to the pain
Of someones loss helping my gain
If you gave me a dream for my pocket
Youd be plugging in the wrong socket
With me theres no room for the future
With me theres no room with a view at all -
I am out of season all year round
Hear machinery roar to my empty sound
Touch my heart and feel winter
Hold my hand and be doomed forever -

If you gave me a fresh carnation
I would only crush its tender petals
With me youll have no escape
And at the same time therell be nowhere to settle.
And if youre wondering by now who I am
Look no further than the mirror -
Because I am the greed and fear
And every ounce of hate in you.
