oh! Get me away from here I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free Nobody writes them like they used to So it may as well be me Here on my own now after hours Here on my own now on a bus Think of it this way You could either be successful or be us With our winning smiles, and us With our catchy tunes, and us Now we're photogenic You know, we don't stand a chance Oh, I'll settle down with some old story About a boy who's just like me Thought there was love in everything and everyone You're so naive! After a while they always get it They always reach a sorry end Still it was worth it as I turned the pages solemnly, and then With a winning smile, the boy With naivety succeeds At the final moment, I cried I always cry at endings Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all From where I'm sitting, rain Washing against the lonely tenement Has set my mind to wander Into the windows of my lovers They never know unless I write "This is no declaration, I just thought I'd let you know goodbye" Said the hero in the story "It is mightier than swords I could kill you sure But I could only make you cry with these words" |

Anthony walked to his death because he thought he'd never feel this way again
If he goes back to the house then things would go from bad to worse, what could he do? He wants to remember things exactly as he left them on that Wednesday And if there is something else beyond, he isn't scared because It's bound to be less boring than today It's bound to be less boring than tomorrow Hilary walked to her death because she couldn't think of anything to say Everybody thought that she was boring, so they never listened anyway Nobody was really saying anything of interest, she fell asleep She was into S&M and bible studies Not everyone's cup of tea she would admit to me Her cup of tea, she would admit to no one Her cup of tea, she would admit to me Oh but her cup of tea, she would admit to no one Hilary went to the Catholic Church because she wanted information The vicar, or whatever, took her to one side and gave her confirmation Saint Theresa's calling her, the church up on the hill is looking lovely But it doesn't interest, the only things she wants to know is How and why and when and where to go How and why and when and where to follow How and why and when and where to go How and why and when and where to follow But if you are feeling sinister Go off and see a minister He'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever When she got back, her spirituality was thrown into confusion So she got a special deal on renting From the man at Rediffusion "Look at me! I'm on TV It makes up for the shortcomings of being poor Now I'm in a million pieces", picked up for deliberation By the people listening at home By the people watching on the telly By the people listening at home By the people watching on the telly But if you are feeling sinister Go off and see a minister Chances are you'll probably feel better If you stayed and played with yourse |

She showed it to a boy in school today Judy, where did you go wrong? You used to make me smile when I was down Judy was a teenage rebel She did it with a boy when she was young She gave herself to books and learning She gave herself to being number one Judy, I don't know you if you're gonna show me everything Judy, I don't know you if you're gonna show me everything Judy got a book at school She went under the cover with her torch She fell asleep till it was morning She dreamt about the girl who stole a horse Judy never felt so good except when she was sleeping Judy never felt so good except when she was sleeping Judy, let's go for a walk We can kiss and whatever you want But you will be disappointed You will asleep with ants in your pants Judy, you're just trying to find and keep the dream of horses And the song she wrote was Judy and the Dream of Horses Dream of Horses You dream of horses The best looking boys are taken The best looking boys are staying inside So Judy, where does that leave you? Walking the street from morning to night With a star upon your shoulder lighting up the path that you walk With a parrot on your shoulder, saying everything when you talk If you're ever feeling blue Then write another song about your dream of horses Write a song about your dream of horses Call it Judy And The Dream Of Horses Call it Judy And The Dream Of Horses You dream of horses |

Lisa's kissing men like a long walk home
When the music stops Take a tip from me, don't go through the park When you're on your own, it's a long walk home If they follow you Don't look back Like Dylan in the movies On your own If they follow you It's not your money that they're after boy it's you Pure easy listening, settle down On the pillow soft when they've all gone home You can concentrate on the ones you love You can concentrate, hey, now they've gone If they follow you Don't look back Like Dylan in the movies On your own If they follow you It's not your money that they're after boy it's you Yeah you're worth the trouble and you're worth the pain And you're worth the worry, I would do the same If we all went back to another time I will love you over I will love you If they follow you Don't look back Like Dylan in the movies On your own If they follow you Tenderly you turn the light off in your room |

Lovesick on a sunny afternoon
You are tired of stopping in You are waiting for the time Mayfly, woken up when skys are clear I don't mind you coming near Keep me company till she comes again You are the one who's privy to I am the one who's making do Because you saw him in the park Because you saw him at the bridges with the people in the park Cana was the start of something big You were there in the beginning You were there to see him play Mayfly, woken up when sky's are blue I don't mind the sight of you Keep me company till she comes around You are the one who's privy to I am the one who's making do Because you saw him at the celebrations standing at the side He had the moves to save the day But you would love him anyway Lovesick, it came back upon yourself You are the girl left on the shelf You are incapable of playing the fool Longing…so what's different today? You sent the boys and girls away You are concerned with matters lofty But puzzled so it makes you sick Your diary's looking like a bible with it's verses lost in time And lost in meaning for the people who surround you It's a crying shame You know it's a crying shame |

Me and the Major could become close friends cause we
Get on the same train and he wants to talk to me Me and the Major could become close friends cause we Get on the same train and he wants to talk But there is too much history, too much biography between us Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a Number of things, he'll take a guy like me and then Me and the Major don't see eye to eye on a Number of things, he'll take a guy like me And put him in the army Cause the Queen's own army makes a man of you But he doesn't understand and he doesn't try He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I We're the younger generation, we grew up fast All the others did drugs They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if I get stuck in the lift it's always with a toff Me and the Major are from different worlds, but if I get stuck in the lift it's always with a man Of noble standing who looks down on me like I was never born I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes Along the pavement and comes back again, oh yeah I think the Major's going quite insane, he goes Along the pavement and comes back again Like he is on parade, and he is on parade At least he thinks so Now he is swapping his tent for a sheltered home He doesn't have a family, he is living alone He remembers all the punks and the hippies too And he remembers Roxy Music in seventy-two He doesn't understand and he doesn't try He knows there's something missing and he knows it's you and I We're the younger generation, we grew up fast All the others did drugs They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us They're taking it out on us I want a dance, I want a drink of whisky so I Forget the Major and go up the town Because the snow is falling |

We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice Could we please be objective? Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us A hand over my mouth A hand over the window Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle Then we should be ok, and we won't get into trouble Cause we're seeing other people At least that's what we say we are doing How are you feeling? I don't think you can be dealing With the situation very well You take a lover for a dirty weekend, that's ok But when it's over You are looking at the working week in the eyes of a gigolo You're kissing your elbow You're kissing your reflection And you can't understand why all the other boys are going for the New, tall, elegant rich kids I'll admit it is a bitch, kid But if they don't see the quality then it is apparent that You're going to have to change Or you're going to have to go with girls You might be better off At least they know what they're doing We lay on the bed there Kissing just for practice Could we please be objective? Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us A hand over my mouth A hand over the window Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle Then we should be ok, and we won't get into trouble Cause we're seeing other people At least that's what we say we are doing |

The boy done wrong again
Hang your head in shame and cry your life away The boy done wrong again Hang your head in shame and cry your life away Are you ok now? Are you ok now? On Saturday I was an angel shining fair You shone louder, longer You put my shine to shame Put me to shame now Put me to shame What is it I must do to pay for all my crimes? What is it I must do? I would do it all the time All I wanted was to sing the saddest songs If somebody sings along I will be happy now The woodland spring will put the darkness from your thinking If this town's your sinking ship Then you know where to jump Talking dirty, for a hobby it's fine So pour another glass of wine I'll think of England this time All I wanted was to sing the saddest songs If somebody sings along I will be happy now |

Fox in the snow, where do you go
To find something you can eat? Cause the word out on the street is you are starving Don't let yourself grow hungry now Don't let yourself grow cold Fox in the snow Girl in the snow, where will you go To find someone that will do? To tell someone all the truth before it kills you They listen to your crazy laugh Before you hang a right And disappear from sight What do they know anyway? You'll read it in a book What do they know anyway? You'll read it in a book tonight Boy on the bike, what are you like As you cycle round the town? You're going up, you're going down You're going nowhere It's not as if they're paying you It's not as if it's fun At least not anymore When your legs are black and blue It's time to take a break When your legs are black and blue It's time to take a holiday Kid in the snow, way to go It only happens once a year It only happens once a lifetime Make the most of it Second just to being born Second to dying to What else could you do? |

Because I met a kid who went through one of your sessions In his blue velour and silk You liberated A boy I never rated And now he's throwing discus For Liverpool And Widnes You liberated A boy I never rated And now he's doing business The stars of track and field, you are The stars of track and field, you are The stars of track and field are beautiful people Could I write a piece about you now that you've made it? About the hours spent, the emptiness in your training You only did it so that you could wear Your terry underwear And feel the city air Run past your body Could I write a requiem for you when you're dead? "She had the moves, she had the speed, it went to her head" She never needed anything to get her round the track But when she's on her back She had the knowledge To get her into college But whe she's on her lack She had the knowledge To get her into college |

Monday morning wake up knowing that
you've got to go to school Tell your mum what to expect, she says it's right out of the blue Do you went to work in Debenham's, because that's what they expect Start in Lingerie, and Doris is your supervisor And the head said that you always were a queer one from the start For careers you say you went to be remembered for your art Your obsessions get you known throughout the school for being strange Making life-size models of the Velvet Underground in clay In the queue for lunch they take the piss, you've got no appetite And the rumour is you never go with boys and you are tight So they jab you with a fork, you drop the tray and go berserk While your cleaning up the mess the teacher's looking up your skirt You've been used, you're confused Write a song, I'll sing along Are you calm? Settle down Soon you will know that you are sane You're on top of the world again Monday morning wake up knowing that you've got to go to school Mum said she had little choice when she was young, so why should you? Do you went to work in C&A, 'cause that's what they expect Move to Ladieswear and take a feel off Joe the Storeman Tell Veronica the secrets of the boy you never kissed She's got everything to gain 'cause she's a fat girl with a lisp She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs 'Cause you can't afford a blazer and you're always wearing clogs At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room Heed of English gets you, asks you, "What the Hell do you think you're doing?" "Do you think you're better then the other kids? Well get outside." You've got permission, but you've got to make the bastard think he's right |

You tell me I'm tired of listening to myself now I'm tired of fixing things for Michael and the rest of them You know my bip-bopping days are over I hung my boots up and then retired from the disco floor Now the centre of my so called being is The space between your bed and wardrobe with the louvre doors louvre doors I said "My celibate days are over" You put me straight on the finer points of my speech rehearsed In the mirror of my steamy bathroom Where the lino tells a sorry story in a monologue monologue * Six months on, the winter's gone The disenchanted pony Left the town with the circus boy The circus boy got lonely It's summer, and it's sister song's Been written for the lonely The circus boy is feeling melancholy melancholy It's got to be fate that's doing it A spooky witch in a sexy dress has been bugging me With the story of the way it should be With the story of Sebastian and Belle the singer I said "My one man band is over" I hit the drum for the final time and I walked away I sew you in Japanese restaurant You were doing it for business men on the piano, Belle You said it was a living Hell You said that it was Hell * Repeat * Repeat |

You tell me I'm tired of listening to myself now I'm tired of fixing things for Michael and the rest of them You know my bip-bopping days are over I hung my boots up and then retired from the disco floor Now the centre of my so called being is The space between your bed and wardrobe with the louvre doors louvre doors I said "My celibate days are over" You put me straight on the finer points of my speech rehearsed In the mirror of my steamy bathroom Where the lino tells a sorry story in a monologue monologue * Six months on, the winter's gone The disenchanted pony Left the town with the circus boy The circus boy got lonely It's summer, and it's sister song's Been written for the lonely The circus boy is feeling melancholy melancholy It's got to be fate that's doing it A spooky witch in a sexy dress has been bugging me With the story of the way it should be With the story of Sebastian and Belle the singer I said "My one man band is over" I hit the drum for the final time and I walked away I sew you in Japanese restaurant You were doing it for business men on the piano, Belle You said it was a living Hell You said that it was Hell * Repeat * Repeat |

Lisa knows a girl who's been abused
It changed her philosophy in '82 She's always looking for a fight She keeps the neighbours up all night I go to her when I'm feeling slack The girl's using me as a punching bag I think that I could help her out But the girl's got a lot to be mad about And in the first moment of her waking up She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing it When the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing Yeah she's losing it Lisa met Chelsea at the knocking school Chelsea didn't feel like following the rules So they left the place for another school Where the boys go with boys and the girls with girls Chelsea was the girl who's been abused It changed her philosophy in '82 She says, "Inch for inch and pound for pound" Who needs boys when there's Lisa round?" And in the first moment of her waking up She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing it When the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing it She goes to the mirror to put on her stuff She knows she's losing it, oh yeah she's losing it When she doesn't speak to anyone till four 0' clock She knows she's losing it, yeah she's losing it Oh yeah she's losing it |

I was surprised, I was happy for a day in 1975
I was puzzled by a dream, stayed with me all day in 1995 My brother had confessed that he was gay, it took the heat off me for a while He stood up with a sailor friend, made it known upon my sisters wedding day I got married in a rush to save a kid from being deported, now she's in love I was so touched, I was moved to kick the crutches from my crippled friend She was not impressed because I cured her on the Sabbath, so I went to confess When she saw the funny side, we introduced my child bride to whisky and gin The priest in the booth had a photographic memory for all he had heard He took all of my sins and he wrote a pocket novel called "The State I Am In" So I gave myself to God, there was a pregnant pause before ha said ok Now I spend my day turning tables round In Marks & Spencer's, they don't seem to mind I gave myself to sin And I've been there and back again I gave myself to providence The State That I Am In Oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me because I'm stupid and blind? Desperation is the Devil's work, it is the folly of a boys empty mind Now I'm feeling dangerous, riding on city buses for a hobby is sad Lead me to a living end, I promised that I'd entertain my crippled friend |

dreamt I had to go to Mars.
I'm always kidding on about going to Mars for the day But faced with the reality of it, in a dream, i was terrified. And it wasn't going to be like a moon trip There was three of us going, but we couldn't all go on the same ship We had to go one at a time with a day between us. I had to go first, and it was the thought of passing through all that black space All the darkness with nothing in it, and then being the first one to land there, all alone... I knew it was supposed to be all dark around, with just a red surface But what if I got there and it was light, all civilised and populated and stuff? So I made a plan. The other astronauts were going to be my dad and my sister And my dad would come first after me So i decided when i landed i would just stay in my seat until he got there And then we could get out together and have a look around And see what sort of things were there. And when I woke up and I was lying in the darkness, I thought I had landed. And I just lay still for a while, waiting for my dad to get there too. |

Summer in winter
Winter in springtime You heard the birds sing Everything will be fine I spent the summer wasting The time was passed so easily But if the summer's wasted How come that I could feel so free I spent the summer wasting The sky was blue beyond compare A photograph of myself Is all I have to show for Seven weeks of river walkways Seven weeks of staying up all night I spent the summer wasting The time was passed so pleasantly Say cheerio to books now The only things I'll read are faces 1 spent the summer wasting Under a canopy of Seven weeks of reading papers Seven weeks of river walkways Seven weeks of feeling guilty Seven weeks of staying up all night Summer in winter Winter is springtime You heard the bird say Everything will be fine |

I'm lucky, 1 can open the door and I can walk down the street
Unlucky, I've got nowhere to go and so 1 follow my feet A choice is facing you, a healthy dose of pain A choice is facing you as you stare through the rain A choice is facing you but I choose to refrain for today Tomorrow we'll be back in trouble again Dream one, you had a whole lot of fun with a comedian Stop short of going all the way, you'll have to make it someday Why is this happening to you, you're not a child? Why is this happening? You've too much on your mind Things creep up on you when you are fast asleep You are dreaming, you are sleepy You are stuck to the sheets In a town so small there's no escaping you In a town so small there's no escape from view In a town so small there's nothing left to do Intellectual and perspiring Dirty dream number two Dream two you couldn't see her face, but you saw everything else Dream two was pretty special, easily beats loving yourself Could you put a name to someone elses sigh? Could you put a face to someone elses eyes? Is it someone that you'd maybe recognise? But it all fades into morning when you open your eyes |

Is it wicked not to care
when they say that you're mistaken Thinking hopes and lots of dreams that aren't there Is it wicked not to care when you've wasted many hours Talking endlessly to anyone that's there I know the truth awaits me But still I hesitate because of fear Skipping tickets making rhymes Is that all that you believe in Wearing rags to make you pretty by design Rusting armour for effect It's not fun to watch the rust grow For it will all be over when you're dead Counting acts and clutching thoughts By the river where the moss grows Over rocks the water running all the time Is it wicked when you smile Even though you feel like crying Even though you could be sick at any time But if there was a sequel Would you love me as an equal Would you love me till I'm dead If there was a sequel Would you love me like an equal Would you love me till I'm dead and if there was a sequel Would you love me as an equal Would you love me till I'm dead Or is there someone else instead |

After all that you've done boy, Im sure you're going to pay In the morning you come to the ladies salon To get all fitted out for The Paperback Throne But the people are living far away from the place Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste And the puzzle will last till somebody will say There's a lot to be done while your head is still young If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came Then you go to the place where you've finally found You can look at yourself sleep the clock around |

the odour of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by when you've been inside day upon day of this wandering gets you down nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town hovering silence from you is a giveaway squalor and smoke's not your style "I don't like this place" we better go then I compare notes with your older sister I am a lazy gett, she is as pure as the cold driven snow what did you learn from your tim ein the solitary cell of your mind? there was noises, distractions from anything good and the old prison food colour my life with the chaos of trouble cause anything's better than posh isolation I missed the bus you were laid on your back with the boy from the arab strap with the boy from the arab strap 2. its something to speak of the way you are feeling to crowds there assembled do you ever feel you have gone too far? everyone suffers in silence and a burden the man who drives minicabs down in Old Compton the Asian man with his love hate affair with his racist clientele a central location for you is a must as you stagger a bout making free with your lewd and lascivious boasts we know you are soft cause we've all seen you dancing we know you are hard cause we all saw you drinking from noon until noon again you're the boy with the filthy laugh you're the boy with the arab strap strapped to the table with suits from the shelter shop comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches and sets off the smoke alarm what do you make of the cool set in London? you're constantly updating your hit parade of you ten biggest wanks she's a waitress and she's got style Sunday bathtime could take a while |

Hey people, looking out the window
at the city below Hey people, looking out the window, full of fun and sorrow Hey people, looking out the window at the city below Hey people, looking out the window, you'll be gone tomorrow The rollercoaster ride The rollercoaster ride Of all the trouble kept her inside Of all the trouble kept her inside Take Judy, with her bow and arrow, she's a mastermind Too frumpy for the teenage population of her time Car coat, she has a quilted jacket with a hood if it rains Big pockets for the pharmaceuticals she takes to fix her brain The rollercoaster ride The rollercoaster ride Of all the trouble kept her inside Of all the trouble kept her inside The rollercoaster ride The rollercoaster ride Of all the trouble kept her inside Of all the trouble kept her inside A puzzle, for the moment settle down to do it with him You're happy cause your cosy and the rain comes rattling in It tickles, and it's something that is very good for the skin You're waiting for a baby, Baby, watch the idiot running The rollercoaster ride The rollercoaster ride Of all the trouble kept her inside Of all the trouble kept her inside The rollercoaster ride The rollercoaster ride Of all the trouble kept her inside You're hanging from the balcony upon the riverboat glass You're watching with your mouth wide open for the top of the class She came on with the boys while you were stuck in various poses If you were to remove your clothes d'you think the singer would notice? The rollercoaster ride The rollercoaster ride Of all the trouble kept her inside Of all the trouble kept her inside The rollercoaster ride The rollercoaster ride Of all the trouble kept her inside Of all the trouble kept her inside |

Her gravity make me feel light-headed Small-talk turns to dust in my mouth She doesn't know that I'm already thinking bout how I'm gonna make her look my way But she smiles at herself in mirrors A little too often these days Maybe I'm unbalanced The way she walks, my God she'd get it All my friends reckon she is oh so fine But the way I talk when I'm speaking near her She must think I crawled out of the sea today |

When summer falls asleep And winter plucks your strings The colder that you get Makes you feel at home Build it up, tear it up, throw it out If I come round there now Would you be pleased to see me I wouldn't make much noise Just whimper to myself Build it up, tear it up, throw it out My head hurts more each time The drinking strangles me Believ in God, like hell Believe in hell, by God |

You could get arrested for getting your kit off in the street How many times have I told you It's not polite to meet and greet We'll get you home and wash you up In a bath of cold coffee I only do this cause I love you And you can make things easier Didn't you hear me when I said Not to do this anymore I've had enough it's got to stop Or I will leave you then we'll see If you could handle things yourself Without me here to scrape you up This is the last time I'll warn you Don't make me leave you all alone It doesn't matter anyway |

You're my favourite friend And I adore you Love you to the end No one heard a word you say You're my favourite friend We rule the world together With out secret codes And plans we can't remember From now on, must be strong My favourite friend You're my favourite friend When I need you And when I don't as well Of course you miss me being around You're my favourite friend But I'm older now I can't pretend I can't see you anymore |

I'm good for inspiration, aren't I? You will find Well, close the door and I'll go anywhere You take me to from this bed onto so much more Care for you, I will Can I have a picture of you tonight Keep it with me always in my mind Tough me cause I can't move I can barely breathe, speechless, breathless I can't tell you if I'm here or not Running both legs tied together Arms in the air Care for you, I will Can I have a picture of you tonight Keep it with me always in my mind |

Cut my eyes out dear
So I can't see your smug grin You're right you always win Untie my hands now I'm game up to a point And we're well past bedtime now All this time away An' I'm freezing cold now I try hard not to laugh As she trips up on the step And her look turns me to stone I'm closer to the truth She hates being on her own But fuck her I'm leaving tonight Why should I live this way When I could be with someone else I don't want to hurt her feelings But she's a crazy fucked up bitch |

If only we hadn't gone so far
Things would be different here just now I didn't know what I had done would it be different if you had of cum I can take it if you hold me I met her last night again after hours The only words I could muster was "Erm, hi" We talked for an hour or two then you left I dreamt that night I lay upon your breast I can take it if you hold me |

I wish I had a penny for everytime she gave me those eyes Those eyes would cry, take me on the floor I've been with her once of twice In my dreams it felt so nice I'd do exactly what tose eyes told me There's never a smile on your face Always a gesture of disgrace Obviously you're unhappy with my stares that I hold far too long Of course I know that it is wrong But deep down inside I know you like it In my little hide Upon the rack I'm stretched and split Demeted as I do my bit Whatever I could do to make you smile I can't wait to get to bed Not so I can rest my head It means I can dream about you more |

I could help myself to something Like a little bit of revelation You could be the one to help me help myself Maybe if I could see exactly what was in your way I'd move it for you Don't always need to do it by yourself UI'm not trying to find a way to get into your bed I'll just sing for you Until you fall asleep, then I will go I never understood how you should feel You've been left out I'd never do that It's all in your imagination, dear |

If I could understand this better I might be a little closer to you Brushing my face with her hair As she pushes past towards the door That's a little ticklish but please just don't stop She's probably heard this a million times before The sweep of her brush is like a gentle lick It seems to make her like everything you want Cause if you didn't you'd want her soon enough That's a little ticklish but please just don't stop |

I haven't left here yet but I'm trying
I'm still tied to the bed, can you come here? When you come, could you please bring a knife and cut me down? 'Cause she is larger than life and I'm frightened A 100 things you should have done in bed But you never got the chance to try them A 100 things you should have done in bed But you never got the chance to try At least the dog has a smile on it's face most of the time I'm drained and I'm dry and I'm sore, it's not that bad If she could be here all the time, it would kill me I think I've been broken in two and I can't scream A 100 things you should have done in bed But you never got the chance to try them A 100 things you should have done in bed But you never got the chance to try them 100 things you should have done in bed But you never got the chance to try them 100 things you should have done in bed But you never got the chance to try |

Here I come through the west wing of your house
Slay the butler by the door Plan my attack for weeks and weeks Some mad thinking going on here Grab your smile and from the bed As we head down to the town Here we come through the city streets at night Causing mayhem as we go Never letting go of hands Your eyes burnt and nothing stopped Steal a car and drive away Your eyes never even burn so Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me, wanna stay with me Wanna stay with me... |

To run about with no style chasing her around Dundee
Making sense about as much as nonsense is meant to make sense Sleeping in cause I'm mortified to go outside today All this time and I have chnaged so much but sometimes never Keep in time All my love I am leaving here because I cannot cope with your man touching you and patronising me What's his game? I don't give a toss about what he has to say for himself or anyone for that matter Keep in time All this time I'm thinking if I could make you love me I'd be better this time, swear to God |

Take her home Take her past this evening I'm not sure Sure if I believe you You carry a gun for fun You use it twice as easy I'm sure she is She is someone's daughter I couldn't even feel that it was Wrapped around my head I don't know what she's done I don't even want to think about it She was beautiful The prettiest girl I've ever seen I saw everything Things I hoped I'd never see She got away from him And got on a plane this morning I couldn't even feel like it was Wrapped around my head I'm coming down Coming down the next day |

Just want to stay here in your arms Just want to stay here in your arms Just want to stay here in your arms Just want to stay here in your arms |

There's a portrait
In a back room Which I keep for days upon Which I relent And gaze for hours on The muscle, skin and bone of some Imaginary friend. So how about it? Show me please how I Will look in twenty years And let me please Interpret history In every line and scar That's painted there in front of me. It doesn't matter what I'm thinking What I tell myself to do I'll end up calling. I stay in to defrost the fridge Now the kid has gone to bed A feeling of dread At least when she's around The trouble's there It's worse to wake up with her Falling round the room. Listen Johnny, you're like a mother To the girl you've fallen for, And you're still falling Listen Johnny, you're like a mother To the girl you've fallen for, And you're still falling And if they come tonight You'll roll up tight And take whatever's coming to you next |
