​no surprises please (MD118) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won’t heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I’ll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

[Chorus]
And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent

[Verse 2]
This is your final fit
Your final bellyache with

[Chorus]
No alarms and no surprises
(Can someone help me, now)
No alarms and no surprises
(Can someone help me, now)
No alarms and no surprises, please
(Can someone help me, now)
[Verse 3]
Such a pretty house
And everything you ever wanted

[Chorus]
No alarms and no surprises
(Can someone help me, now)
No alarms and no surprises
(Can someone help me, now)
No alarms and no surprises, please
(Can someone help me, now)

Thanks very much

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
