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.

Dry your eyes boy,
there's no need to despair. Forget about yesterday and the bad times that you've had. You've loved and lost, and now you're feeling so blue, but can't you see it's me who really loves you? With the love I've got you'll forget about her, and find it easy to live without her. It's only springtime, oh, you're too young to say you're through with love. It's only springtime, and I'll be different boy, I'll promise you (I'll swear to you.) Once more you tell me about her new friend; you say your heart's been broken again. How many times have you looked into my eyes? Don't you realise we're two of a kind? With the love I've got you'll forget about her, and find it easy to live without her. It's only springtime, oh, you're too young to say you're through with love. It's only springtime, and I'll be different, I'll be different, I swear to you. I've been watching all you're love affairs; three years now - don't you think I care? How many times have you looked into my eyes? Don't you realise we're two of a kind? It's only springtime, you're too young to say you're through with love. It's only springtime, and I'll be different, I'll be different, boy, yeah.

She wears sad jeans torn at the waistband. Her pretty face is stained with tears. And in her right hand she clasps a letter; I know this means that he has gone. And in this town of mis-guided tourists, she never thought she'd fall in love. It was a few days after her birthday, The thrill hostess gave her first kiss. He said her skin smelled just like petals, said stupid things he knew she'd like. She said her life was like a motorway: Dull, grey, and long 'til he came along. He's gone, he's gone. I said ";How could he ever leave you? You two were good, you were so right."; She said ";I wish that he just left me; He'd be alive, alive tonight."; He's gone, he's gone. He's gone, he's gone.

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.

When we meet for a while, Tuesday morning ten a.m. When we meet for a while, Tuesday morning ten a.m. Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for, joking around, still digging that sound.

[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.) / Hobart paving, don't you think that's it's time, / On this platform with the drizzle in my eyes? / And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) / Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) / Hobart paving, don't you think that's it's time? / The ticket's in my hand, the train pulls down the line. / Rain falls / like elvis tears. / Oh no, / no sugar. / Out on the high street, / dim all the lights and / Cry coloured tears. / And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) / Don't forget to catch me, / (don't forget to catch me.) / Don't forget to catch me, / (don't forget to catch me.) / Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) / Oh no, no sugar tonight, / (don't forget to catch me.) / Oh no, no sugar tonight, / (don't forget to catch me.) / No no, no sugar tonight. / (don't forget to catch me.) / Don't forget to catch me... |

She walked out on you last Saturday
Under the wheels Of a crowd on main street USA Know how it feels She said cancel everything And like a fool You never see what's happening She dropped out school Get away let her go Let her go now Hey in your brain Yeah you know Let her go now I should have told you To lose that girl I should have told you That's not your world On her radio she'd turn the disco down Disco down She thought she looked good in purple jeans From Santa Fe And she overdosed on magazines Just fade to grey |

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. |
