<noinclude>{{Lyrics for|I'll Wear It Proudly}}</noinclude>
I hate these striplights they're not so undoing as your stare
I hate these flaming curtains they're not the color of your hair<br>
I hate the buttons on your shirt when all I wanna do is tear
I hate these striplights they're not so undoing as your stare<br>
I hate this bloody big bed of mine when you're not here
I hate the buttons on your shirt when all I wanna do is tear<br>
[chorus]
I hate this bloody big bed of mine when you're not here<br>
Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down
<br>
And nail my feet up where my head should be
''Chorus:<br>
If they had a King of Fools then I could wear that crown
Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down<br>
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly
And nail my feet up where my head should be<br>
Well you seem to be shivering dear and the room is awfully warm
If they had a King of Fools then I could wear that crown<br>
In the white and scarlet billows that subside beyond the storm
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly<br>
You have this expression dear no words could take its place
<br>
And I wear it like a badge that you put all over my face
Well you seem to be shivering dear and the room is awfully warm<br>
[chorus]
In the white and scarlet billows that subside beyond the storm<br>
I'll wear it proudly through the dives and the dancehalls
You have this expression dear no words could take its place<br>
If you'll wear it proudly through the snakepits and catcalls
And I wear it like a badge that you put all over my face<br>
Like a fifteen year old kid wears a vampire kiss
<br>
If you don't know what is wrong with me
''(Chorus)<br>
Then you don't know what you've missed
<br>
We are arms and legs wrapped round more than my memory tonight
I'll wear it proudly through the dives and the dancehalls<br>
When the bell rang out and the air outside turned blue from fright
If you'll wear it proudly through the snakepits and catcalls<br>
But in shameless moments you made more of me than just a mess
Like a fifteen year old kid wears a vampire kiss<br>
And a handful of eagerness says "What do you suggest?"
If you don't know what is wrong with me<br>
[chorus]
Then you don't know what you've missed<br>
<br>
Were your arms and legs wrapped round more than my memory tonight<br>
When the bell rang out and the air around turned blue from fright<br>
But in shameless moments you made more of me than just a mess<br>
And a handful of eagerness says "What do you suggest?"<br>
<br>

lyrics for
I'll Wear It Proudly

I hate these flaming curtains they're not the color of your hair
I hate these striplights they're not so undoing as your stare
I hate the buttons on your shirt when all I wanna do is tear
I hate this bloody big bed of mine when you're not here

Chorus:
Well I finally found someone to turn me upside down
And nail my feet up where my head should be
If they had a King of Fools then I could wear that crown
And you can all die laughing because I'll wear it proudly

Well you seem to be shivering dear and the room is awfully warm
In the white and scarlet billows that subside beyond the storm
You have this expression dear no words could take its place
And I wear it like a badge that you put all over my face

(Chorus)

I'll wear it proudly through the dives and the dancehalls
If you'll wear it proudly through the snakepits and catcalls
Like a fifteen year old kid wears a vampire kiss
If you don't know what is wrong with me
Then you don't know what you've missed

Were your arms and legs wrapped round more than my memory tonight
When the bell rang out and the air around turned blue from fright
But in shameless moments you made more of me than just a mess
And a handful of eagerness says "What do you suggest?"

(Chorus)
