Milburn

Put down the phone you,
Know it's better off that way,
This conversation,
Has gone stale,

I fell sorry, Oh ever so sorry today,
Feeling convicted but nobody's here to blame,

Walking the line,
Is wearing away my shoes,
I'll stand aside as all the daggers fly across the room,
As the night grows older the mood becomes bolder and course,
The vultures and spies,
Are out to build houses from straw,
They'll blow down,
All that is left is the girl,
Wearing a frown,

Can't you see that I am sincere,
And to believe in all of the stories you hear,
Is their desire, so don't go fuelling the fire,

Too much to dream you,
Had far too much to dream last night,
And everything you'd learnt to love,
Was taken again by thieves,

Your mind is restless,
Because you never rested at all,
All these illusions,
Confuse your thoughts,
You won't come round,
All that I see is the girl,
Wearing a frown,

Can't you see I am sincere,
And to believe in all of the stories you hear,
That would be foolish,
You'd be a fool to fear,
What's their desire,
So I go fuelling the fire

Where you going now our David?
Dont be late now our David

And all his friends say they want to act that way
Cant understand why you want to act that way
And when you try to tell him he goes

Davy boy youre such a silly little boy
Why dont you think about your mother all alone
Shes waiting for your call shes waiting, shes tired, shes bored

Why dont you go home

He gets it all from his fathers blood
Who used to be a casual, as casual as they come
Now hes gone to live in Liverpool

And David does whatever David sees
Hell give you a good kicking and hell bring you down to your knees
If you dont believe in what he does

And all his friends say they want to act that way
Cant understand why you want to act that way
And when you try to tell him he goes

Why cant you see its not big and its not clever
To be fighting battles when your only cause
Is entertainment, cause you get so frustrated
Oh Davy boy hes found a brand new toy
Hes gone from playing in the rubbish bins, smashing all the windows in, fighting in car parks
Now hes fucking up the flat he calls home
Why dont you go home

Oh how your mind's not on it
Pass me a book and i'll read you a sonnet, girl
Walls go up and guards come down
He's bangin' on the door thinkin' "where the fuck is she now?"
So open your mouth and stick to your guns
You've gotta realise that she's indifferent
Woah oh ah oh what's your name?
Just won't learn, here we go again

So it has come to an end, things haven't changed
You're still lookin' rough my friend
Things get broken, things come clear
If you wanted to leave so much then why are you still here?



So open your mouth and stick to your guns
You've gotta realise that she's indifferent
Woah oh ah oh what's your name?
Just won't learn, here we go again

So open your mouth and stick to your guns
You've gotta realise that she's indifferent
Woah oh ah oh what's your name?
Just won't learn, here we go again

I don't see why people don't up and walk away,
The nights are long and the days go on,
It's the same as yesterday,
So let's disappear,
A thousand miles,
Escape from here,
So let's disappear let's go away,

It's not a crime to comprehend,
It isn't wrong to realise,
Outside these city walls,
There's places, open up your eyes,
You've thrown away the key,
The door is locked oh you'll never leave,
As sad as it may seem,
Your here to stay,

The sun may never shine,
The sun may never come out of the sky,
The sun may never shine but still you'll stay,

So if I go,
Will you come away with me,
Will you come and stay with me,
Wherever I am going to,
We could be strangers,
Me and You,

There's something enchanting,
Something that I can't explain, like how,
The eye becomes attracted to
The centre of the frame,
If I should disappear a thousand miles,
Escape from here,
If I should disappear would I feel the same?

The sun may never shine,
The sun may never come out of the sky,
The sun may never shine oh so you think

Close your eyes and count to 10
My mouth has spoken without asking my mind again
For the second time today
I've dug a hole that i must fill with an apology

But now its far too late
voices declare that they
will not negotiate

They talk of pride before a fall
Not every battle is critical to win a war
Tomorrow i know i'll agree
But now the stronghold has taken control of me

And now its far too late
Voices declare that they
Will not negotiate

Reasoning has been lost
Somewhere along the way
You have made your mistake

Close your eyes
Count to 10
Close your eyes and count to 10

Close your eyes
Count to 10
Close your eyes and count to 10

Tonight i feel im going to be
Throwing punches with far too much honesty
Throwing punches just because
We've come this far theres no way im giving up

And now its far too late
Voices declare that they
Will not negotiate

Reasoning has been lost
Somewhere along the way
You have made your mistake

Close your eyes
Count to 10
Close your eyes and count to 10

Close your eyes
Count to 10
Close your eyes and count to 10

Close your eyes
Count to 10
Close your eyes and count to 10

Close your eyes
Count to 10
Close your eyes and count to 10

We used to go out,
Together all the time,
I would look between my fingers while you tried to hide,
When the stars came out,
They would call our names,
We tried to pretend,
That we never heard a thing,

Remember when we could see,
Things as they were meant to be,
I'll get my gun,
And shoot you down,
And you will hit the ground,

Now I am so vein,
Now I am so tired,
Well looking at my bedroom walls,
I fail to feel inspired,
So knock up on my door,
And I promise this time,
When I'm counting to one hundred I will shut my eyes,

Postcards won't you write,
I don't want to be alone tonight,

Remember when we could see,
Things as they were meant to be,
You get your gun,
And shoot me down,
And now I'm on the ground

Alright, I’ve had enough
I want to go home now
Tonight, I’ve had too much
And I start to talk funny
And when, I’ve had enough
I say some things I might, regret, that make me blush
When I wake in the morning
So I’ll see you when I see you
Yeah I’ll see you again
And if I don’t get the chance to at least shake your hand
Then I wish you good luck, hope it all goes to plan so
I’ll see you around
Come on, we’ll get the bus
If we leave pretty soon now
I can’t go to the club
‘Cause I’ve not got much money
So I’ll see you when I see you
Yeah I’ll see you again
And if I don’t get the chance to at least shake your hand
Then I wish you good luck, hope it all goes to plan so
I’ll see you around

The lights they start to flicker, moving in the sky
And the lips with their lipstick licking seem to pass me by, oh my
The big boy with the headlight glare says we're telling lies
And I know we're in for it when I see him looking over and he's giving me the evil eye

But the thought of you in my mind knows I'm never gonna go wrong
Cause you and me both we're singing the same song
I can tell by the look in your eye that we're never gonna go wrong
We'll go on, and on, and on

The big boy wont let him go, he says to apologise
And I know we're in for it when somebody wanders over just to smack him right between the eyes



But the thought of you in my mind knows I'm never gonna go wrong
Cause you and me both we're singing the same song
I can tell by the look in your eye that we're never gonna go wrong
We'll go on, and on, and on

But the thought of you in my mind knows I'm never gonna go wrong
Cause you and me both we're singing the same song
I can tell by the look in your eye that we're never gonna go wrong
We'll go on, and on, and on

Lo Lo & Behold
Time has taken it's toll
You say that your in control
So now's the time to be bold

Lo Lo & Behold
Time has taken it's toll
You say that your in control
Well i don't know

Lo Lo & Behold
Time has taken it's toll
You say that your in control
So now's the time to be bold

Lo Lo & Behold
Time has taken it's toll
You say that your in control
Well i don't know

Lo Lo & Behold
Time has taken it's toll
You say that your in control
So now's the time to be bold

Lo Lo & Behold..

Writes down a note and leaves it waiting on the side,
Put's her lipstick on and turns off all the lights,
Then it's out the door,
Onto the floor,
Of every bar in town,
Got to let the fellas know that she still get's around,

Oh she's, Lucy Lovemenot,
Oh she's, Lucy Lovemenot,

Wakes up to find herself in different company,
Last thing that she recalls is dropping to her knees,
Then it's out the door with no remorse,
Her feelings are regret,
It's just another memory which helps her to forget,
That she's, Lucy Lovemenot,
Lucy Lovemenot,

She used to be the girl that all the men pine for,
She used to be the girl that everyone adored,

But now she's broken and she's haggard,
But she still likes to pretend,
Everyone wants' to pull her now, she's that same girl again,

Oh, Lucy Lovemenot,
Oh, Lucy Lovemenot,
It's Lucy Lovemenot,

We must be shrewd or stupid,
One of the two,
Mistakes are too important,
For us to lose,
But he would have broke your heart,
But she would have lead me down the garden,
They would always leave,
Early in the morning,
No final kiss,
No final warning,

Just as we're friends today,
Tomorrow we'll be lovers,
Never to be the same no more, no more,
We've crossed the Rubicon,
And we can't turn our heels,
So it's onto the breach,
Oh we'll have to teach ourselves, my love,

And I'll be telling tales,
If I, claim to be sure,
That this will last forever,
Just look at the way it has gone before,
But he would have broke your heart,
And she would have taken me for granted,
They would always leave early in the morning,
No final kiss,
No final warning

He had her down in the cellar with a knife pointing at her throat
He wouldn't let her go oh no, he wouldn't ler her go
She kicked and screamed
Someone heard through the walls from next door
'What's the crack? what's the score?'
Next door neighbour gave a call
No one answered, so the boys are coming
The boys are coming for you

They'll take you on a holiday
Maybe to the seaside, maybe they'll just give you away
They'll drop you off and say goodbye
You're looking pretty dangerous
You're looking pretty dangerous tonight
And nobody knows just quite what you will do next
So we will send in the boys, the boys are coming for you

Coppers came heavy handed


Closed the street and demanded us to stay at home today
Oh you must stay at home today
Calm him down, reassure him
Leave the girl this is stupid, hold your hands up
We'll get you through this, yeah we'll get you through this
So the boys are coming, the boys are coming for you

They'll take you on a holiday
Maybe to the seaside, maybe they'll just give you away
They'll drop you off and say goodbye
You're looking pretty dangerous
You're looking pretty dangerous tonight
And nobody knows just quite what you will do next
So we will send in the boys, the boys are coming for you

Watch out!
He's always up to something
Cause he's so devious
And he's so cynical
And it makes me laugh
He's trying so hard to pretend
Acting oh so original
When he's simply following the trends
The book that you read, it is upside down
The book that you read, it is upside down
The book that you read, it is upside down
The book that you read, it is upside down
He's always saying that he's oh so right
And won't admit when he's wrong
But if I get him on his own tonight
I'm gonna find it hard, cause we don't quite get along
Too much
Sitting in the window
Sipping up your coffee
And advertising yourself
And it makes me laugh
He's trying so hard to deceive
Acting cool and cocky
When there's clearly something up your sleeve
The book that you read, it is upside down
The book that you read, it is upside down
The book that you read, it is upside down
The book that you read, it is upside down
He's always saying that he's oh so right
And won't admit when he's wrong
But if I get him on his own tonight
I'm gonna find it hard, cause we don't quite get along
Oh it's such a treacherous thing
Little boy laugh and the little boys sing
No when they come-a-calling
You cant can't help falling over, no you cant help falling down
It's evidential that you've not been taught
Oh, you just can't see
That respect is always earnt not bought
So we all bow down to this weeks class clown at the showroom
Yeah, at the showroom

don't want to talk to you and,
You don't want to talk to me,
So I'll shut my eyes and think of England,
While I speak,
You don't want my photograph,
And I don't want to know your name,

You say we look the same,
Like, everybody else,
Maybe that's because we like to keep ourselves to ourselves,
You want something different,
You want something false,
You want your opinion to always be involved,
That won't last at all,
No that's not natural,

If you should change your colours,
Or you should change your mind,
I won't go holding grudges,
I'll let sleeping dogs lie,

Oh how you'd love it,
If we'd disappeared,
Along the horizon,
Going down like sinking ships,
In the night time,
No one came to save our souls,
No one came to fix the holes,
But we made it back to land,
So if you've backed the underdog,
You may collect your winnings,

If you should change your colours,
Or you should change your mind,
I won't go holding grudges,
I'll let sleeping dogs lie,

But by the same token,
I cannot forget,
How you hanged your…
Those you don't respect,
So I will not pretend,
You and I want to be friends,
Cos' we both know that that would be a lie

Welcome, to the world of fake reality
Where you can never believe what you hear or believe what you see
It's like the coliseum of the annual games
With the Roman Emperor being entertained
A flick of the wrists that will seal your fate
A flick of the wrists that will seal your fate

A flick of the wrist and you're through
And there's no telling what they might do
Now they've captured your soul
Oh you're under control
They've captured your soul
And they won't give it back 'till you plead

Setting agendas and fashions which must be obeyed
(You must obey it, you must obey it)
With their stories and lies they decide, the way you're portrayed

You only see what they want you to see and nothing else
You only see what they want you to see and nothing else



A flick of the wrist and you've through
And there's no telling what they might do
Now they've captured your soul
Oh your under control
They've captured your soul
And they won't give it back 'till you plead

Nothing ever happens
So why are you watching? X3
No, nothing ever happens
So why are you watching!?

They've captured your soul
And they won't give it back
No they won't give it back
No they won't give it back

Yeah she's been walking down my street
Saluting magpies, avoiding cracks at her feet
Oh be careful, they can break your back you know
And that superstition don't count for much
It's all in your head and not in your touch
If it's working, I´ll reconsider
So what you crying for?
You're a big girl now, no misters come to get ya
You've been trying
But you don't know how, is it cos they never let ya?
No, looks like it's all too much
Your ears are burning, they're talking about you
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know!
She don't need no excuse or alibi
No explanation, to grab hold of your eye
You wouldn't even need to know her name
But I just can't work her out at all
She sends me round the bend, she drives me up the wall
But it's worth it, I know she means well
So what you crying for?
You're a big girl now, no misters going to get ya
You've been trying
But you don't know how, is it cos they never let ya?
No, looks like it's all too much
Your ears are burning, they're talking about you
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know!
So what you crying for?
You're a big girl now
You've been trying
But you don't know how
No, looks like it's all too much
Your ears are burning, they're talking about you
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know!
I know, yeah I know, oh!

We only go out in the summertime,
Well it's gone,
Things don't look too good from the other side,
But hold on,

Something good, Is on it's way,
Strong enough, To force a change,

We only go out in the summertime,
(We only go out in the summertime)
Can't you see the sun here before your eyes,
(We only go out in the summertime)
Suddenly you change,
(We only go out in the summertime)
And everybody's fine,
(We only go out in the summertime)
We only go out, in the summertime,

Sometimes guilt lays heavy on the mind,
These days,
But who has lived a true and honest life?
Anyway way?

There are questions to be asked,
And attitudes to tame,
What was once part of the charm,
Was now part of the shame,

Because the bomb refused to part,
This bullet has been bitten harder than,
You will ever know

Well well well look just what the cat dragged in
A foe not a friend in the end but a dealer in sin
I don't want apologies or guarantee you'll do it all again
Oh no no you can play those games no more
Well this time it's different, yeah this time you've pushed too far
Can't you find your dignity, you lost it with your honesty & shame
Well well well look just what the cat dragged in
A cheater, a liar, a schemer, oh where to begin
I don't want apologies or guarantee you'll do it all again
You sold yourself and sold me off down the river
You had us all yeah, an Oscar's on the cards
And I bet you kind of liked it
You'll get your comeuppance and you'll be alone forever and ever and ever and ever oh
Well well well look just what the cat dragged in
A foe not a friend in the end but a dealer in sin
I don't want apologies or guarantee you'll do it all again

You say that you don't know but I think you doThere's clearly something wrong, there's clearly something wrong with youI really do not mean to pry but this just seems so sillyHow can the truth become a lie just so it means you're winning, ohI can see it in your eyes You can't shy awayOr cover up your misdemeanours with anything you sayWhen you want you know you can be as good as goldBut try telling that to the bloke who owns the phone that you just stoleI try to say your doing wrong but you choose to ignore me You say you don't need anyone but I know a different story, ohI can see it in your eyes You can't shy awayOr cover up your misdemeanours With anything you sayI can see it in your eyes You can't shy awayOr cover up your misdemeanours and it's not your fault, you sayCause if no one got hurt what's all the fuss about, you sayBut what about next time?I can see it in your eyes You can't shy awayI can see it in your eyesSo what about next time?

I can see a darker side,
I can see it in your eyes,
Maybe things have happened in your life,
And maybe that's the reason why,
You're playing for a one-man side,
It's alright when you're winning though,
But, when you lose, you lose alone.

So, what will you do when the money goes?
What will you do when the money goes?
What will you do when the money goes?
What will you do when the money goes?

Would you ever want to know my name?
If we hadn't met this way,
Do you seriously think i believe you,
When you say,
you're looking out for everyone,
But that can't be much fun,
Considering you never have before,
So now your intentions must come into question.

What will you do when the money goes?
What will you do when the money goes?
What will you do when the money goes?
What will you do when the money goes?

When our house disappears (What will you do when the money goes?)
And nothing left but souvenirs, (What will you do when the money goes?)
Will that be the moment when you realise?
Will that be the moment when you realise?
Will that be the moment when you realise that you,
Had better change your ways.

I can see a darker side,
I can see it in your eyes,
Maybe things have happened in your life,
And maybe that's the reason why,
You're playing for a one-man side,
It's alright when you're winning though,
But, when you lose, you lose alone.

You lose alone.

You lose alone!

You lose alone!

You lose alone!

You lose alone!

You lose alone.

You lose alone.

Always alone.

You lose alone.

You lose alone.

Its closing time and its getting late
Can you fetch my coat cos I dont feel too great, anymore
But I want to stay, dont you want to stay aswell
I dont think that you do
Ive got this funny feeling that you dont feel like I do
This conversations just passing you by
I know it I can see it in your eyes

Youve had one too many, low and behold
Youre telling me the secrets that cant be told
It feels so special, it feels so bold
But then you knock me back and I fall
I fall to the floor
And all I wanted was a kiss
And all I wanted was a chance tonight

Im walking home
Half pissed and half frozen
My minds made warmer by the little token of you, and your little ways
Still theyre sleeping in your bed today
And now beeps the phone
I fumble round to answer but I end up putting it on hold
Late night taxis keep passing me by
I fell sick and look to the sky

Ive had one too many, low and behold
The late night lovers stay out in the cold
I ring your number I feel so bold
You kick me into touch and I fall
I fall to the floor

And all I wanted was a kiss
And all I wanted was a chance tonight
But yeah your ignorance was bliss
Yeah your ignorance was paradise
Just give me a chance
Just give me a sign or something to tell me what you want
Cos before too long theyll be somebody else
Its then that youll know that your wanted more
You call out my name but I fail to respond
Oh it knocks you back and you fall
You fall to the floor

Youre not just a number upon a computer or a waiting list
Youre not just a number upon a computer or a shopping list.

Don't say that you do,
If you know that you don't,
Don't say that you will,
If you know that you won't,

It's simply common sense,
When everybody's scared of consequence,
It's hard to keep your head,
When all around the lights have turned to red,

And try as you may oh you can't keep the wolves at bay,

Everyone wants to discover,
The undiscovered,
And no one's willing to commit themselves unless their own backs are covered,

It's hard to make a move,
When everyone is scared that they might lose,
It's hard to keep your head,
When all around the lights have changed to red,
And try as you may oh you can't keep the wolves at bay,
You can't keep the wolves at bay,

Oh what a difference a decade makes,
It's easy to tell between fools and lies,
All won't be lost no,
Think, and put out this fire

It's simply common sense,
When everybody's scared of consequence,
It's hard to keep your head,
When all around the lights have changed to red,
And try as you may oh you can't keep the wolves at bay,
You can't keep the wolves at bay,

Despite what you say,
You can't keep the wolves at bay
