Hot Hot Heat - No Applause Allowed Lyrics

[** iTunes Bonus Track:]


Tinkering the final tweaks*
Working over night for over 97 weeks
Starved for rejection
Compliments may as well be bullets in my direction
This section is filled with faces telling me
Just keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on
With the devil on your shoulder that is easier said than done.

As for me, I'm too proud to stand alone in line in this crowd
As for what we could have been there's no applause allowed
Learn to take a joke, or learn to take a punch
Let's go on a stopping spree
Starting with the way that you talk to me oh
Hit me with your knowledge stick
Just hit me with your knowledge stick
Just beat me with your knowledge stick
As for me, I'm too proud to stand alone in line in this crowd
As for you, you're too proud to tell me what you're thinking out loud
As for what we could have been there's no applause allowed

And destiny unravels
And boy does it ever baffle us
This raffle stirs up quite a fuss oh oh oh
Wish I could say that I know oh oh oh
As for me, I'm too proud to stand alone in line in this crowd
As for you, you're way too proud to mimic the enthusiasm
Passing off a damn good crowd
As for what we could have been there's no applause allowed
