I love the sound of background noise I wanna hear the crack in the singer's voice Fingers moving on the fret board Every time he plays a new chord I hear his friends hanging around I hear him play an instrument he just found I hear a low buzzing sound I hear his parents hanging around I hear his parents saying "turn it down" I hear his parents saying "turn it down" I hear his parents saying "turn it down!"
Cool your warm jets, Brian Eno

I thought my resolve was too hard to be broken, It's easy to pretend that you were just joking There's no need to see plans through to fruition Especially if, you've guessed the conclusion
Some of us want to go back to our families, stand down with Enrique Gatti Some of us want to go back to our families, stand down with Enrique Gatti A right to advise, advice for the wise, there's no shame in, Giving in.
I'm delighted to have found If it's too heavy, you can, just put it down The bravest decision, you ever make Is admitting that, you made a mistake
Some of us want to go back to our families, stand down with Enrique Gatti Some of us want to go back to our families, stand down with Enrique Gatti A right to advise, advice if you're wise, there's no shame in, Giving in.
Stand down, stand down, stand down, stand down
It's not a lack of determination, it's more heroic resignation
Some of us want to go back to our families, stand down with Enrique Gatti Some of us want to go back to our families, stand down with Enrique Gatti I've no right to advise, advice if you're wise, there's no shame in, Giving up.
Yeah, we've got guns, but they're antiques They're rusted and they're broken The Red Brigade made us give our bomb back But we're going to do this bank job And we're gonna do our very best

First time I saw her I wanted to do more than just hold her I wanted to bend her and fold her So I lent over and I told her Got myself a brand new girlfriend Got myself a brand new girlfriend Phones ringing all weekend Got myself a brand new girlfriend
We want to be lapsed catholics We've got the contraception But we haven't got the knack yet
Got myself a brand new girlfriend Got myself a brand new girlfriend So many messages to send Got myself a brand new girlfriend
So we went to the cinema We came home from the cinema We went through the front door Up the stairs Through her bedroom door Onto the bedroom floor I've seen her naked twice! I've seen her naked twice!
Brand new girlfriend Brand new girlfriend Brand new girlfriend
Got myself a brand new girlfriend So many messages to send Phones ringing all weekend Got myself a brand new girlfriend
Got myself a brand new girlfriend And I think that I love her
We just kissed and that's about it I fell asleep, she had to do without it That's the way it sometimes goes Under the covers but in yesterday's clothes
Whilst you were asleep Me, pins and needles You were asleep Me, other people
Rubbing ourselves together We were bound to lose that feeling Rubbing ourselves together Staring at the ceiling
I wonder if she suspects Who sent me that last text Or that I'm speaking loudly Waiting for my phone to stop vibrating
Whilst you were asleep Me, pins and needles I was asleep With other people
Rubbing ourselves together We were bound to lose our feeling I still can't believe how fast our hearts were beating
Rubbing ourselves together We were bound to lose our feeling I still can't believe how fast our hearts were beating
Here's the truth, We just kissed and that's about it I fell asleep, she had to do without it That's the way it sometimes goes Under the covers but in yesterday's clothes It was sleep that stopped me cheating, not the way you got my heart beating
Rubbing ourselves together We were bound to lose our feeling I still can't believe how fast my heart were beating
Letters of consent under the bed in a heart shaped box Cinema tickets mixed in with dirty socks Half written postcards to, I can't remember who
I've so many things left over I don't know where they should go It's not a mess, It's personal Like the home altars of Mexico
It's hard just opening my bedroom door All my memories, spread out across the floor A napkin from that meal we shared the other night Lollypop sticks and Lego bricks A broken 7 inch, I'll never play Travel cards from a sunny day Why can't I throw these things away?
I've so many things left over I don't know where they should go It's not a mess, It's personal Like the home altars of Mexico
Modern art Makes me Want to rock out (x4) So I'm in the Tate And I'm looking at Hockney And oh sweet Jesus There's something about that blue It touches me deep inside Amazes me when I step outside I'm sweating I'm sweating I'm beginning to palpitate I can't help myself I just can't help myself
Modern art Makes me Want to rock out (x4)
So I'm in the Pompidou In Paris And they're more laid back about their art galleries There's little children running around I see a piece on Matisse Take three steps back Take a long run up And I jump at it!
My little brother just discovered rock and roll My little brother just discovered rock and roll My little brother just discovered rock and roll There's a noise in his head, and he's out of control
And yes it frustrates! Let's let him make his own mistakes See him on the dance floor, watch him go now Boy those moves, I just don't know how
My little brother just discovered rock and roll My little brother just discovered rock and roll My little brother just discovered rock and roll He's only 22 and he's out of control
How's he living? With all of that unforgiving See him on the dance floor, watch him go now Boy those moves, I just don't know how
My little brother just discovered rock and roll My little brother just discovered rock and roll My little brother just discovered rock and roll There's a noise in his head, and he's out of control
He no longer likes A-sides He made me a tape, of bootlegs and B-sides And every song on that tape, every single song says Oh why don't our parents worry about us? All we ever want, is for our parents to worry about us There isn't anybody he really wants
My little brother just discovered rock and roll My little brother just discovered rock and roll My little brother just discovered rock and roll
Slept on my face, and woke up confused A bit concerned about what I've been up to There's so many people I might have upset I apologise to them all with the same pretext
Bring me tea! Bring me coffee!

I should be guilt-ridden I'm just wondering where my clothes are hidden
I read a rumour in a tabloid paper You said something interesting, denied it later There was no evidence they couldn't make it stick It's on Youtube now and then But comes down pretty quick So we stayed up and we argued all night If we can't change the world Let's at least get the charts right The record buying public shouldn't have been voting The record buying public shouldn't have been voting How can you sleep at night when nobody likes the music we like? How am I supposed to sleep at night when no one likes the music we write? Record buying public: we hate them This is Art Brut vs. Satan Don't worry we can take 'em! On your visa it says 'entertainer' You'd better step it up or they're gonna detain you It's all smoke and mirrors don't go and see 'em I wanted rock 'n roll I got a science museum So we stayed up and we argued all night If we can't change the world Let's at least get the charts right The record buying public shouldn't have been voting The record buying public shouldn't have been voting How can you sleep at night when nobody likes the music we like?

This is Art Brut vs. Satan You like pop music and you like pop music Why do you let them abuse it? The record buying public Full marks on my score card A lesson learnt and learnt hard Full marks on my score card A lesson learnt and learnt hard A brush with Satan can be fatal We're doing this for you so you'd better be grateful The record buying public: we hate them This is Art Brut vs. Satan The record buying public: we hate them This is Art Brut vs. Satan Don't worry, we can take 'em!

Fire me, give me the sack Bare feet on warm tarmac Fire me, give me the sack Warm feet on bare tarmac
Every night and all weekend Can't remember the last time I saw my friends Don't think I can take much more of this In the stockroom, I feel like an anthropologist I know exactly what to do There's just one cure for the summertime blues;

I'm just beginning to come alive So hand me my P45
I've had one Zirtec, two Advil With the drink that made me feel invincible
I don't know how I managed to do this But I woke up this morning covered in bruises
I only dance to songs I like So I was sat down most the night
I don't know how I managed to do this I woke up this morning covered in bruises Hahahaha
I found a bruise on my arm, one on my knee I can feel some more in a place I can't see
Is this a new bruise, or has it been there forever? When did I do it, I can't remember
Can't remember anything I've done I fought the floor and the floor won I can't remember anything I've done I fought the floor and the floor won I can't remember anything I've done I fought the floor and the floor won I can't remember anything I've done I fought the floor and the floor won
I don't know how I managed to do this But I woke up this morning covered in bruises
I'd finally decided to tell you how I felt I mistakenly thought that the drink would help
I don't know what happened The planets weren't aligned I kept giving you a wink You kept missing the sign
I can't remember anything I've done I fought the floor and the floor won I can't remember anything I've done I fought the floor and the floor won I can't remember anything I've done I fought the floor and the floor won I can't remember anything I've done I fought the floor and the floor won
I finally managed to unravel the plot It's not a happy ending, but it's the best that I've got
I woke up this morning covered in bruises One Zirtec, two Advil are gonna get me through this
I finally managed to unravel the plot It's not the happiest of endings, but it's the best that I've got
