Marina & The Diamonds - Philosopher My Arse Lyrics






Your theories, your beliefs
And the way you preach for peace
It sounds like vomit to my ears

Whoa, daddy likes to teach
Counts for the muttered words you like to speak
But it sounds like vomit to my ears

Let me fall and kiss your feet
Everybody knows they're cleaner than your lips
I'm not easy to defeat
I know, I know when something's amiss [x3]
Something's amiss

Philosopher my ass
Your words leave your mouth pretty fast
And it sounds like vomit to my ears

I lie in the safety of your bed
Whilst Bob Marley goes straight to your head
How can you compare yourself to this man
Your whole life's a scam

So let me fall and kiss your feet
Everybody knows they're cleaner than your lips
I'm not easy to defeat
I know, I know when something's amiss [x3]
(I think I know when) something's amiss

Don't cheat me, don't you cheat me
Don't you think you can fucking lie to me
Yeah...

'Cause I won't fall and kiss your feet
Everybody knows they're cleaner than your lips
I'm not easy to defeat
I know, I know when something's amiss [x3]
Something's amiss [x2]

  54. E.... 3....

    Lol my ex costumed to Bob Marley on halloweene when we were together. He cheeted me with my sluty "freind".

  55. T.... ....

    A lot of her pre-The Family Jewels songs are awesome. I love them so much.

  56. H.... G....

    Love it. Marina's SO angsty.

  57. 1.... c....

    I love the song, but hasn't anyone noticed how badly that picture is photoshopped? :/

    1.... c....

    120 crying ants what I don’t see anything photoshop in it

  58. C.... W....

    What EP is this from? She should remake this! 

    C.... W....

    It's not from an EP. It's an unreleased song

    C.... W....

    rainydays359 it’s acctually from the ‘give me the money’ EP ;))

  59. S.... ....

    why isn't this more popular??

    S.... ....

    @Emily Gee TRUE! one time at the school dance i requested primma donna and the girls were like OMG i LOVE THIS SONG! MArinA YES!!! so then i requested one of her family jewels songs and they didnt reconize her at all

    S.... ....

    @SuperSofia WOW FAMILY JEWELS ALBUM IS A HOT ALBUM. I consider these, fake fans. Oh well.

    S.... ....

    I mean Electra Heart is an amazing album but I think in MY opinion every album of Marina is a little masterpiece. <3

    S.... ....

    @Genocider Sho indeed.

    S.... ....

    Because us diamonds are surrounded by rocks most of the time

  60. p.... ....

    I hear a little bit of Tori Amos kinda in this song, with how she sings it. Really different from a lot of her other stuff I think.

    p.... ....

    omg she does!!!!

    p.... ....

    I think so too,love how she's diverse in her own special way ^^

    p.... ....

    Kinda reminds me of Tori's vocal delivery on her songs Teenage Hustling and Body & Soul!

  61. s.... c....

    I am an atheist myself and I love this song SOO much it perfectly describes the self riteousness that many preachers and religious celebrities have

    s.... c....

    @EncantoM some people do that. Also maybe the song isn't fully about her father. Songs don't have to be about just one person.

    s.... c....

    actually the song is 100% about her father and his love for religion, which she finds ridiculous.

    s.... c....

    That's what I thought but then I read an interview that said that, though there's a lot in her songs that could be related to Christianity, she wasn't raised Christian. And judging by her insta posts, she seems to respect religious traditions so I'm v confused. Can anyone clarify what this song's about?

    s.... c....

    Marina is not an atheist "herself"

  62. H.... S....

    i love this so much oh my god

  63. M.... L....

    idk, probably my least favourite out of all unreleased tracks, maybe it will grow on me like MISS Y

  64. C.... W....

    siiiiigh this song....i can't even express how i feel about it..

  65. E.... c....

    wow amo este tipo de canciones que tiene !

  66. S.... A....

    I love how rough her voice sounds here, she could be a rock singer if she wanted to!

    S.... A....

    true she really could!

  67. M.... ....

    Just discovered this song, and DAAAAAAAAAAAMN, it's just AWESOME. O___O

  68. m.... ....

    This sounds like god.

    m.... ....

    No, no, this sounds like *anarchy* ! >:D
    (Basically it sounds fucking awesome.)

  69. E.... ....

    @Martha Jenkins It's not released.

  70. E.... V....

    "Don't you think you can fucking lie to me"

  71. C.... d....

    Filósofo mi culo :D:D

  72. M.... ....

    This song is so under rated... It's amazingly relatable.

  73. L.... D....

    Love her raspiness.

  74. S.... ....

    I wish to marry this song.

  75. r.... ....

    reminds of everyone in my class LMFAO

  76. s.... ....

    But it sounds like voooomiiiit yeeeahh.... I love it XD

  77. D.... L....

    This reminds me of Kankri.

  78. s.... ....

    How can I adore her that much

  79. H.... C....

    its cool but lyrics are simple. strong but simple. ordinary words.

  80. L.... z....

    I don't think you've listened to the whole song.

  81. f.... ....

    so good its so strong i wish i could sing so strong and perfect like her !! :)

  82. b.... f....

    This reminds of emilie autumn lol

  83. s.... ....

    Theory of Knowledge my arse!

  84. B.... M....

    Woah, that was intense.

  85. L.... M....

    Marina has so much soul and passion in her voice. No autotune crap, just emotion and anger.

  86. j.... ....

    yeah this song is my name. ily

  87. M.... K....

    This isn't on her album

  88. j.... d....

    She sounds like the singer of a musical like Sweeney Todd.

  89. M.... J....

    Where is this song? In what album?

  90. i.... �....

    I wonder what Marina's dad did to her...

  91. J.... L....
