Cinerama

You can't start a sentence like that and not end it
You can't write a letter like that and not send it
If you look away again I
Might ask you to explain why

You haven't really told me anything
The silence when you hold me is deafening

You can't get a 'phone call like that and not tell me
You can't lie with him in our bed and not smell me
If you look away again I
Might ask you to explain why

You haven't really told me anything
The silence when you hold me is deafening

And what she gets she doesn't want
And what she gets she doesn't want


We swam across the bay
A single plane flew across the sky
Then we lay on our backs and made pictures with the clouds
I tasted the ocean when i kissed her fingers


And what she gets she doesn't want
And what she gets she doesn't want


A warm breeze carried her scent to me
She said: i know i've hurt you
She took my hand and sighed
but in the middle of the night you will think of me

I cant help staring when you're hardly wearing a thing
Your lascivious mouth is full of smiles
Your laughter echoes off the bathroom tiles
With your pretty hands folded sweetly in your lap
You make such a tantalising trap

But who deserves your perfect curves and wiles?
Well, I can tell you now that it won't be me
Because my girlfriend's waiting patiently
And I have noticed that you're inclined to tease
So don't make this any harder for me please

Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?

You kissed me once and you got a response, and I know
After a kiss like that some men would leave their wife
But I don't want to destroy my life
Just because you look at me that way
It doesn't mean that I'm about to stay

But I can hardly believe
That I'm about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home


Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?

Of course I want to share your bed with you
But if I stay tonight I can never go home

But I can hardly believe
That I'm about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home

Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?

Oh I can hardly believe
That I'm about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home

Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?

You swing your hips and then you wave me over
Your eyes are so blue
I stroke your lips, you call me Casanova
Oh honey you

Star in this film every single night and every single matinee
You should be here to bring it all to life
Oh I’m just a phone call away

We lie and listen to the raindrops falling
That's all we do
But the phone rings, and you laugh because it’s your husband calling
Oh darling you

Star in this film every single night and every single matinee
You should be here to bring it all to life
Oh I’m just a phone call away

And then you could be who you want to be
As long as you are near
What are you waiting for?
Everything you need is here
Just come and sleep with me
You must know what I mean
You've seen this film before
This is the final scene

Star in this film every single night and every single matinee
You should be here to bring it all to life
Oh I’m just a phone call away

Smoke
Lingers 'round your fingers
Train
Heave on - to Euston
Do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?
You left
Your tired family grieving
And you think they're sad because you're leaving
But didn't you see the Jealousy in the eyes
Of the ones who had to stay behind ?
And do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?
You left
Your girlfriend on the platform
With this really ragged notion that you'll return
But she knows
That when he goes
He really goes
So do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?

his

Gone as far as i can go with this crap
I've not come here just to
Watch him lie
With his head in your lap
Well, at least not there, oh must you?

I've gone as far as
I can go with this crap
I've not come here just to
Watch him lie
With his head in your lap
Well, at least not there

When you started to screw, i knew
I should have run away
Because i could hear it all through the wall
But i just had to stay
Every laugh, every cry, every sigh
Oh i can't face
The way i've behaved, but i just craved
To be in his place

I told him when we met
I told him i was afraid
That you'd just play with him
But i won't forget
Those sounds that you made
Behind that door with him

I told him when we met i
Told him i was afraid
That you'd just play with him
But i won't forget
Those sounds that you made
Behind that door

When you started to screw,
I knew i should have run away
Because i could hear it all through the wall
But i just had to stay
Every laugh, every cry, every sigh
Oh i can't face
The way i've behaved, but i just craved
To be in his place

(hers)
But this is all your fault
We made a solemn promise
You said: "let's be adult"
"there's no point running from it"

But this is all your fault
We made a solemn promise
You said: "let's be adult"
"there's no point running from it"

You've just walked in this room but things have changed forever now
Because you're the only thing in view
And when my girlfriend asks you: "please could you tell me how
You get them all to stare at you? "

You smile and say it's not your fault
Meanwhile the world's come to a halt


And once you've caught our gaze you'll never let it go again
But, oh, we'd never want you to
Because we're your puppets, yeah, women just as much as men
No one can take their eyes off you

You smile and say it's not your fault
Meanwhile the world's come to a halt

You shake, I sweat, it stings
I ache, you're wet, I cling
Your thighs, your breasts, my cheek
Your eyes, undress, don't speak

Since when, on time, you smiled
Since then, oh I'm, beguiled
So pure, your skin, tiptoe
I'm sure, you win, don't go


Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"
Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"

I stare, for too long, and you woke


Your hair, a song, I stroke
I'm glad, this breeze, so still


You're sad, but please, I will

Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"
Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"

Your Charms
by Cinerama


You always seem to laugh
For every photograph
If I didn't know you better
I'd say you were flirting with the males
Because, oh, it never fails
To make them stare, etc.

But the ploys of womankind could not be
Further from your mind
That's never your intention
So I'm always amused
Whenever you are left confused
At being centre of attention

And darling, I just can't think clearly
It happens when I'm in your arms
And my heart is pounding
How pathetic is this sounding?
I'm unquestionably
Captivated by your charms
And the way you thrill me
I think I always will be

Now you're tossing back your hair
And you're completely unaware
Of how they're drooling over you
And it is no coincidence
Yes, it's your very innocence
That makes them act the way they do

And darling, I just can't think clearly
It happens when I'm in your arms
And my heart is pounding
How pathetic is this sounding?
I'm unquestionably
Captivated by your charms
And the way you thrill me
I think I always will be

I just can't think clearly
It happens when I'm in your arms
And my heart is pounding
How pathetic is this sounding?
I'm unquestionably
Captivated by your charms
And the way you thrill me
I think I always will be

Oh I wish you wouldn't let
Me read the letters that you get
Well, yeah, he's just a fool
But that doesn't make it any less cruel
But I can't look away
Especially when you say
You haven't read them yet
Cos there's someone else that you've already met

He says he misses you
But thinks you've been untrue
But he won't intervene
With your master plan whatever that might mean
But he can't understand
Why you got so offhand
You crushed him with your heels
And I know exactly how he feels

And I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
And I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored

You need a paramour
Someone to pluck your eyebrows for
And if no-one wants to play
Well, you'll probably stay in bed all day
But have you ever paused
To calculate the pain you've caused?
You say you want to live
But one day, something's got to give

I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
And I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored

I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored

And you know this is just like a children's fantasy
It's like a scene from "The Singing Ringing Tree"
But I can tell by your face that you're plagued with doubt
We can hold hands because nobody's about

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes
It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

You don't have to whisper every time you speak
And you don't have to jump at every single creak
So you changed your mind, you think it isn't right
At what point did you think of him last night?

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes
It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

You say you've got to telephone him once at least
Well how come your feelings for him just increased?
Look he's never ever going to find out where you've been
So wait until tomorrow before you start feeling mean

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes
It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

The radio's on, it's some jazzy 60s song
She makes him laugh out loud by trying to sing along
But how many years has it been since she was seventeen?
Still, she is flattered that someone so young's so keen

And so she won't refuse, well, what's she got to lose,
when she sees him glancing?
This kind of evening could be life enhancing
And so they talk all night until it's almost light
and then it's back to his place
Then she sees the uneasy look on his face

A gentle breeze shakes the petals from the trees
She says "Do what you like"
because boys aren't hard to please
It's over fast, although he tries to make it last
And then they lie and watch the sky turn overcast

It didn't mean a thing, it's not embarrassing,
it was just disappointing
She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing
And in a sixties song she'd go and prove them wrong
but this is too confusing
She gets what she wants but still ends up losing

She thought she'd turn a boy into a man
But in real life some things don't go to plan
...

And so she won't refuse, well, what's she got to lose,
when she sees him glancing?
This kind of evening could be life enhancing
And so they talk all night until it's almost light
and then it's back to his place
Then she sees the uneasy look on his face

It didn't mean a thing, it's not embarrassing,

Superman
by Cinerama


I think I'm going to just tear you apart
Because this time you've been playing havoc with my heart
But it's already over, even if I'm the last to know

At least there's something on which we're both agreed
Oh yeah, we both know exactly what you need
Someone to satisfy you, someone who'll follow where you go

And that sounds just like a job for Superman
Not the lazy slob that you think I am
Because nothing I could do
Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

It's not as if you can say I haven't tried
But you want something that I just can't provide
I'm not a super hero; I just can't find a cloak and change

That sounds more like a job for Superman
Not the lazy slob that you think I am
Because nothing I could do
Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

Oh I know what this is all about
The wine goes in and the truth comes out
Don't give me that "unsuited" stuff
You just don't think I'm good enough

Because that's a job for Superman
Not the lazy slob that you think I am
Nothing I could do
Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

I don't see how you can carry on
I don't mean just now, I mean with anyone
I just wanted a romance
But little did I know I never stood a chance

I've given everything I have to give but it's not enough
And this might sound a little negative but I'm not that tough

And well, yeah, that's the difference there between us, you're so naïve
When they promise you the world, oh they don't really mean it, it's just make believe

Yeah, I've heard it all before
No, I don't care any…

More things to do but no time left to do them, so why persevere?
More goals but no opportunity to pursue them, so why am I here?

Yeah, I've heard it all before
No, I don't care any more

Maybe I need to try again
But I don't know how
You say you've got the answer
Well your time starts now
I need to try again
I don't know how
You say you've got the answer
Your time starts now

Yeah, I've heard it all before
No, I don't care any more

You've just walked in this room but things have changed forever now
Because you're the only thing in view
And when my girlfriend asks you: "please could you tell me how
You get them all to stare at you? "

You smile and say it's not your fault
Meanwhile the world's come to a halt


And once you've caught our gaze you'll never let it go again
But, oh, we'd never want you to
Because we're your puppets, yeah, women just as much as men
No one can take their eyes off you

You smile and say it's not your fault
Meanwhile the world's come to a halt
