(Da da daaa, da da daaa) (Da da daaa, da da daaa) Let it never be said, that romance is dead Cos there’s so little else occupying my head There is nothing I need except the function to breathe But I’m not really fussed, doesn’t matter to me Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Know what ya doing, doing to me? Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Due to lack of interest tomorrow is cancelled Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held Cos there’s nothing at all except the space in between Finding out what you’re called and repeating your name Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya [ Lyrics found on http://www.metrolyrics.com ] Ahaa-ahaa-aaaa Know what ya doing, doing to me?

I can prove anything
I'll make you admit again and again I can prove anything The way that it's read again and again And its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you'd be dead It's only cos you follow what the others do It's no excuse to say your easily lead You can choose anything You choose to lose again and again You could do anything Why should you do anything again And its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you'd be dead Winding yourself up until your turning blue Repeating everything that you've read And here we go with the letter Well can you fix it for me Cos we need entertainment To keep us all off the streets So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed You can try anything And no-one would know apart from you and me You can stop anything It's starts with just one and turns to two then three Its only cos you came here with your brothers too If you came here on your own you'd be dead Raise a glass or two You raise a fist or two Get a shopping basket wrapped round your head So here we go with the letter Oh can you fix it for me 24 hour drinking To keep us all off the streets So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we're also easily swayed We are the angry mob |

I can just imagine you and me
Running out of steam Going through the motions I have no idea how you know When I dip my toes In other people's oceans You have local knowledge Of the local area And that impressed me quite So I tried that night We did things I thought you'd like But that just made it worse And I impressed you not Well not a lot Slowly starting from the start When the heat dies down I'll be back in town But until that time I'll be round at mine When the heat dies down We'll be back in town But until that time I'll be round at mine When the heat dies down When the heat dies down When the heat dies down When the heat dies down I can not imagine growing old To have and to hold Til death do part we told them Right now I can stroll back 20 years Spending time at hers Talking to our mothers I've got wider knowledge of the world I just can't face another argument about the rent, It all seems so important In the grander scheme of things But I was purpose built To not feel guilt Slowly ending at the end When the heat dies down I'll be back in town But until that time I'll be round at mine When the heat dies down We'll be back in town But until that time I'll be round at mine When the heat dies down When the heat dies down When the heat dies down When the heat dies down When the heat dies down When the heat dies down When the heat dies down When the heat dies down |

I remember nights when we were young
They weren't very good they were rubbish Running round Highroyds isn't fun Just teenagers testing their courage Standing outside nightclubs in the snow Is not very cool or impressive They let in all the girls from the year below No need for I.D's with those dresses Got news from afar From a girl who knows who we are She's still got my dinner money She can keep it Never had a fight that we haven't lost We're not very tough or athletic Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock And when he gets out I'll regret it Got keys to a car Picked up a girl from Boston Spa For fast food and the cinema It's not worth it Got word from down south Well he had heard about it word of mouth Haven't much stayed in touch Since Highroyds Let it go and let it go And if I'm wrong then I won't know 'Cause no one's gonna tell me but a friend But he has gone and Ian's gone And everybody went along And nobody was left here in the end Got news from uncle Hugh Through a second cousin once removed It's too late there's a housing estate It's called Highroyds Got a text from an ex She wants to know when we're in London next "And will you write a song about me?" I don't think so |

I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore,
I know, I've said all this and that you've heard it, all before, The trick is, getting you to think that all this, was your idea, And that this, was everything you've ever wanted, out of here, Love's not a competition but I'm winning. I'm not sure, what's truly altruistic, anymore, When every, good thing that I do is listed, and you're keeping score, Love's not a competition but I'm winning. Love's not a competition but I'm winning. At least I thought I was, but there's no way of knowing, At least I thought I was, but there's no way of knowing, You know what it's like when you're new to the game but I'm not. I won't, be the one to disappoint you, I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore I won't, be the one to disappoint you, I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore I won't, be the one to disappoint you, I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore I won't, be the one to disappoint you, I won't, be the one to disappoint you, anymore |

None of the buildings even look the same,
And underneath them all the shops have changed. I don't pretend they're in a lot more pain, Stocking much too young for the professionals to stay in. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I'm in tunnel to the north again Everybody has to talk on the train. And if you've got nothing thats clever to say, Nobody's listening to you anyway. 'Cos I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. But it wouldn't be very good. La la la, la la la la la la la la la~ What you want here? It doesn't matter! I don't think that it can be done without you. What you doing? It doesn't matter! But everything that's done is all about you We convince each other nothing has changed Nobody else will ever write the same We're out of tension thought the stage is not blame For your protection all the names have been changed I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you. But it wouldn't be very good |

Well it starts as a joke
Like a stick in your spokes Or removing the bolt of the brakes Then the bicycle flips Crushing ribs smashing hips And he broke every bone in his face Now you're out of control And you can't fill the hole That was left by the thrill of the chase You're a right piece of work All the flakes go berserk Have you forgotten how good they taste You're my kind of guy Cos I like your style And you sound as horrible as me And I don't mind if you're unkind Cos you're reminding me of me As the bicycle race Gathers speed, gathers pace And you feel that you're going too fast Theres a word to the wise You should take some advice As the nice guys always finish last You're my kind of guy Cos I like your style And you sound as horrible as me And I don't mind if you're unkind Cos you're reminding me of me You're my kind of guy Cos I like your style You sound as horrible as me And heads will roll As it takes it's toll On you and me |

Boxing Champ + Learnt My Lesson Well
"Boxing Champ" We went to the youth club and we looked out of place. I didn't know where to look So I, looked at your face. But you were a boxing champ, and I was a weakling. You didn't give me a chance, You gave me a beating. And I thank you very much that you did. And as the time went by we stayed out of trouble, Before I could realise my age had doubled. The man I became is a tragic bore, And he's not a boxing champ anymore. If there's one thing i've learnt it's to run away, At least I enjoy what I do today. And I thank you very much that I do. "Learnt My Lesson Well" I'm just waiting for The man to come with all my things And i'm just waiting for Another man to take it all And its not hard to tell That I learnt my lesson well And I'm just waiting for The man to come and go away What are you waiting for Get up off your seat It's just seven days Feels like a week What are you moaning for You got all that you want Your life could be worse You could be a nurse It seems so sensible For us to keep the purse strings tight And move the decimals A couple of places to the right And it's not hard to tell That I learnt my lesson well It seems most sensible But not exactly what we'd like What are you waiting for Get up off your seat It's just seven days Feels like a week What are you moaning for You got all that you want Our life could be worse You know, we all could be cursed I Can't help feel like this So don't rearrange it I don't mean to be a dick I just don't like the changes I can not help the things I say You know wouldn't to strangers But I don't like going away Cos it puts me in danger I can tell you now There ain't a problem can't be solved With a good old fashioned row So grit your teeth and stand your ground And it's not hard to tell That I learnt my lesson well But I'm still waiting for The man to come with all my things What are you waiting for Get up off your seat It's just seven days Feels like a week What are you moaning for You got all that you want Your life could be worse You could leave in a hearse |

I can't do it any quicker
I don't want it any slicker As far as the eye can see Is miles and miles of icy sea. So try your best And think about it later Or you will never know I don't feel fear anymore But I can't risk getting mauled As far as the ear can hear The wave is coming loud and clear So try your best And think about it later Or you will never know So try your best And think about it later Or you will never know Which way your life could go And you'll know when you know So try your best And think about it later Or you will never know Which way your life could go And you'll know when you know |

There are many things that I would be proud of
If I'd only invented them such as the wheel The washing machine and the tumble dryer On these inventions surely I could retire I want to retire No longer required I want to get by without the man on my back A tear in my eye With a heart full of pride I must go out on a high And tell nobody why There are many things that I know I could do If I'd only have wanted to, such as create The perfect soulmate everyone would admire On this creation surely I could retire I want to retire No longer required I want to get by without the man on my back A tear in my eye With a heart full of pride I must go out on a high And not to answer to why I want to retire Inform the suppliers I'll leave the party in style And not to be carried out Without a cloud in the sky I Got my fingers in pies A Golden watch on my side Will measure my free time Now my place in History is surely assured I will be remembered here forever more Brand new product in place and a potential buyer Up on this next transaction surely I could retire I want to retire No longer required I want to get by without the man on my back A tear in my eye With a heart full of pride I must go out on a high And not to answer to why I want to retire Inform the suppliers I'll leave the party in style And not to be carried out Without a cloud in the sky I Got my fingers in pies A Golden watch on my side Will measure my free time |
