Текст песни Gorillaz - Momentary Bliss

/ = slide-up
 = slide-down

   (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
                 (Momentary bliss)
  We could Do so much better than this
Emotionally in fences and momentary bliss
  We could Do so much better than this
Oh Rita, oh Rita (lovely Rita, meter maid)

   Bass line ()                                                                           
x = muted strum

  (Lovely Rita, meter maid)
Your potential, you lack credentials
And you are special, so fucking special (Rita)
Oh how you need it, oh how you're needed
And you keep squeezin' the truth from the middle (ay ay ay ay)

You parted seas but your arches, they ain't golden (ah)
And you was gaggin' for some gags and now you're rollin' (woo)
      Best you shut your trap and keep it hush (hush)
On another note, compliments make me blush

There's a hole in your pocket, so you cannot find the change
Cavern of your mind, you say your pattern
You pull your strings and you jump, hold your mouth and you say
  "What was scripted, the day before it happened?"

We all give applause when people look and pause
But on the way out and get your back in
See, everything in life ain't silver and gold
But minin' for metal gave you platinum

It makes me sick to think you ain't happy in your skin
It's weird, a thing to think light bulb don't blink
Just flickers to them, then it pops and withers
You're a Turkey Twizzler, you deserve school dinners
Makes me sick

[Bridge] - same riff as Verse 1

Poster boy (ayy)
          Poster girl          (Rita)
  Truth, the bills (the bills),  must be paid
          Poster boy
     Poster girl (straight try)

[Verse 3] - same riff as Verse 2

The truth, the bills, they must be paid (uh-huh)
And what is left is sorta atypical
All you need to change your face
You're gettin' sold, it's such a waste

You know, we could Do so much better than this
Swimmin' in pools of momentary bliss
Where you gotta find a family 'cause everybody taken
They worry you keep on adding, I think you gotta crawl

[Chorus 2] - same riff as Chorus 1

It makes me sick to think you ain't happy in your skin
It's weird, a thing to think light bulb don't blink
Just flickers to them, then it pops and withers
You're a Turkey Twizzler, you deserve school dinners

It makes me sick to think you ain't happy in your skin
It's weird, a thing to think light bulb don't blink
It just flickers to them, then it pops and withers
You're a Turkey Twizzler, you deserve school dinners
Makes me sick

  We could Do so much better than this
Emotionally in fences and momentary bliss
  We could Do so much better than this
Oh Rita, oh Rita

  We could Do so much better than this
Perfect little pictures of moments that we missed
  We could Do so much better than this
Oh Rita, oh Rita
