Negative Love (Live)

[Verse 1]
Negative love
Sceptical lies beneath the frown
Negative love
You're always putting other people down
Then they're gone
As they fade away, well, who's to say that you were wrong?

[Verse 2]
Negative love
The radio's playing my request
Negative love
Well, you lie before me unimpressed
Why say "Yes"
When you know all thе ways to say "No" best?

[Chorus]
And please don't makе an exception for me
Don't make an exception
There's no hope for me and you
'Cause I'm a little negative too

[Verse 3]
Cynical you
I see the look that's in your eyes
Cynical you
And it's saying "I don't sympathize"
No surprise
Only the naïve believe in love and other lies

[Chorus]
And please don't make an exception for me
Don't make an exception
There's nothing for me and you
'Cause I'm a little negative too
I'm a little negative too

[Bridge]
We're the wrong side of one
I should change my name to John Undone
Or maybe we're on to something
Could we end up positive after all?

[Chorus]
Please don't lower your standards for me
Don't lower your standards
There's no hope for me and you
'Cause I'm a little negative too
There's nothing for me and you
'Cause I'm a little negative
I'm a little cynical
I'm a little negative
I'm a little critical
I'm a little negative too

[Outro]
The fabulous Deni Bonet. One two, one two three four.

Okay, actually, before we start this, because that was awesome, but before I start this, let me say. A lot of people said to me when I wrote this song, like, "Wes, we like your lyrics, we're your friend, we're your personal friend, but this, these lyrics are bullshit and they don't make sense." But if you think of me as the monkey, and normally I say Robert Lloyd, but in this case, if you think of Denis as the cat (Ooh, meow, there you go), then you'll understand the song. It's easy to understand after that. Just take that mental leap.
