Never Pleased Lyrics

[Verse 1: John Gourley & Zoe Manville, Gang Vocals]
No I'm not Jesus but I'm more than a man
I'll never grow old or lonely or sad
Still I'm never pleased
I'm never pleased


From the corners until I wake up walking as careful can be
Careful to miss out on all that I see
I'm never pleased
I'm never pleased

Just be common like I

[Chorus: John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
I know, that you know, that I know, that you know I try
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I carry myself around missing the teeth we once had

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

[Verse 2: John Gourley & Zoe Manville, Gang Vocals]
Mornings all melt about like lively seeds
That own you, they own you, they own you
And they're never pleased
They're never pleased


So sleep like those giants that never know
And lie like the liars tell you it's so
I'm never pleased
I'm never pleased

[Chorus: John Gourley & Zoe Manville]
I know, that you know, that I know, that you know I try
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I carry myself around missing the teeth we once had
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

[Outro: John Gourley & Gang Vocals]
I know that you know that I know that you know I try
I know that you know that I know that you know I try
I know that you know that I know that you know I try
I know that you know that I know that you know I try

I know that you know that I know that you know I try

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]
