"영국의 음악 저널리스트 출신으로 인디록에 일렉트로닉한 요소를 더해 이미 한국에서도 많은 팬을 확보하고 있는 Saint Etienne의 2004년 발매된 모음집. 이것은 이들의 히트했던 싱글도 있으며 잊혀졌던 싱글과 비사이드곡들, 그리고 미공개 음원들을 모아놓기도 하는 한편 신곡인 'Fascination'을 담고 있기도 한데 대부분의 이런식의 베스트나 모음집 형식은 평가가 나쁜데 비해 본작은 어마어마한 평단의 호응도를 얻어내고 있다는 데에 이미 확실한 물건이라는 결론을 내리게 된다. Saint Etienne의 음악이 항상 그렇지만 따뜻하고 영적이면서도 해맑고 차분하지만 가끔씩 재기발랄한 이들의 주특기가 마구마구 펼쳐진다. All Music Guide 평점 : 4.5/5 Pitchfork Media 평점 : 9.0/10"
When you were young and on your own, how did it feel to be alone? I was always thinking, games that I was playing, trying to make the best of my time.
But only love can break your heart; try to be sure right from the start. Yes, only love can break your heart, but if your world should fall apart...
I have a friend I’ve nev- -er seen He hides his head inside a dream Someone should call him and see if he can come out, Try to lose the gang that he’s found.
But only love can break your heart; try to be sure right from the start. Yes, only love can break your heart, but if your world should fall apart...
I was always thinking, I was always thinking. I was always thinking, I was always thinking. I was always thinking, I was always thinking. I was always thinking. ...
I was always thinking, games that I was playing. I was always thinking, games that I was playing. I was always thinking, I was always thinking. I was always thinking, I was always thinking. I - I - I - I - I was always thinking, games that I was playing. I was always thinking, games that I was playing. I was always thinking, games that I was playing. I was always thinking, games that I was playing.

Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart
Pass me the suitcase, baby I know it's not that easy And give me my mirror, love First give me back my memories
And oh, oh, how many years Is it now Maurice?
Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And I was half-asleep And riding on a slow-coach I think I lose all these things Still, meaning I'm not holy
And, oh, oh, your honey-dish Oh, it's on my list
Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
Wish my heart's wish climbing out your window For your savage amusement You put a spell over me, well Smells like lemon flavor
Tuesday, if I had you back again You know I'm against the future Wednesday, I was a little girl I was the little girl who'd like to snog your face
And ooh, oh, how many years Is it now Maurice?
Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart Ooh, young heart And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good And, ooh, oh the clown's no good And, ooh, oh the clown's no good And, ooh, oh the clown's no good And, ooh, oh the clown's no good And then I shall take back to Maurice And, ooh, oh the clown's no good

[intro sample (on the album):] Do you think a girl should go to bed with a feller, if she doesn't love him? No. [pause] unless it's me.
I heard she drove the silvery sports-car / Along the empty streets last night. / Hanging around / with hair-dos like mine. / No, I haven't seen the kids for some time. /
Picked up her shoes from the red-brick stairway, / Just like a harpsichordist she moved. / And back upstairs / at half past two, / With a paper folded, outside the loo. /
Rain falls / like elvis tears. / Oh no, / no sugar tonight. / Out on the high street, / dim all the lights and / Cry coloured tears again. /
And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) / Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) /

A rose scented June A rose he pulled in June They're full upon the lawn The doctor came at dawn
An old daily care And Suzie Banana Stand Through frosted windowpane Your father's middle name >From a train And everywhere the snow falls Sail away (x4)
A veil (pale(?)) faded blue A Ruben's old curfew(?) One windy Winter's day A Windsor market day People say Everywhere the snow falls Sail away (x8)
She's moving down the seaside 'Cause that's where he comes from He gave away all of her records Is that where she belongs?
Better think it through Remember who Is there something new? Or is it you again?
Sail away (x12)
So take your red gown And go down to the dam To do as you please On the streets of your town
The whistling kind Shake it out of your mind It could be the day When you finally say Sail away (x6) On and on (x7)
Sarah speaks (2 lines missing): Up the riverbank, land that dried up The causeway full of nice cars The sand a distant dream _____________ (?) ______________ _____________ (?) ______________ Across the riverbank Cross the riverbank, don't look back
Background sings: To sail away And on and on
Sarah sings: I sail, you sail I sail, you sail Do you remember how? (x4) Do you remember how we used to live? (x3)
Took a trip down Anita Way Had to go on the 1st of May Didn't have much to celebrate Heart failed in the back of a taxi Heart failed in the back of a taxi doot do do doot do do
Get yer kicks all around the world Give a tip to a geisha girl Fit your bit with a piece of pearl Heart failed in the back of a taxi Heart failed in the back of a taxi doot do do doot do do
Sold the ground to a PLC Moved the club out to Newbury Sod the fans and their families Heart failed in the back of a taxi Heart failed in the back of a taxi
Picture-house built in '23 It's a place out of history Pulled it down for your cash money Heart failed in the back of a taxi Heart failed in the back of a taxi doot do do doot do do
At a desk across the hall She makes another call Didn't mean to hear you shout What's that all about?
She said she always stays up late She never looked so great But she's moving Saturday to a flat in Maida Vale
Fascination, you talk so much about her Fascination, it's clear you love to say her name You love to say her name
So you all went to the bar To celebrate the news But she couldn't stay for long 'cause she had some things to do
Fascination, you talk too much about her Fascination, it's clear you love to say her name Fascination, I know too much about her Lately it's clear Lying with the evening sun Warm against your cheek You are working out, what she'll be doing What you are going to say to her next week
Fascination, you talk too much about her Fascination, it's clear you love to say her name Fascination, I know too much about her Fascination, it's clear you love to say her name.
Natwest, Barclays, Midlands, Lloyds. Use a bank? I'd rather die.
I loved to draw when I was a little girl It helped me see the world as I wanted it to be Sometimes I walk home through a network of car parks Just because i can I love the feeling of being slightly lost To find new spaces, new routes, new areas I love the lack of logic I love the feeling of being slightly lost
I belive that music in the long run can straighten out most things There are too many bands that act lame Sound tame I believe In Electrelane Over here it's new, it's now, it's you, it's clean The beard and lipstick scene So look beyond Big brother, gossip culture, So bored of stupidity The myth of common sense I believe in Donovan over Dylan In love over cynicism Oh, ??????????
Finisterre, to tear it down and start again (x3) Think about the love back in Finisterre
Five miles north is a town of silver birches Twenty-seven chuches A look of horror if you drop a H Around here its hoods up and heads down Got it the wrong way around When things get turned around I slow down Dream about the notion of the perfect city Imagine the 19th century never happened Just a straight run from Beau Brummell to Bauhaus Dreams never end This house believes in skyscrapers
Chorus (x5): Finisterre, to tear it down and start again Think about the love back in Finisterre
I want to know the whole of the city with you
You see McGee was into deals, Barrett was into moves.
