Hey
I would really like to talk with you
Girl
Do you have the time to stop
Say
All I wanna do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Not walk away
Hey
I'm a foot without a sock
Without you
Love
You seem to work around the clock
Say
All I wanna do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Not walk
Just rock
Hey!
Love!
Say
All I wanna do is rock
If this was any other day
I'd turn and walk the other way
But today
I'll stay
Okay

I met a girl in L.A.
The million dollar kind
She was all for all or nothing
Open all the time
But when I called her number
Her mother's on the line sayin'
You've no business
As God's my witness
With a child as young as mine
Chorus
So make sure that she's old enough
Before you blow your mind
She may look like she knows enough
But look her in the eye
And if so
Let her go
You'll let her down in style
I met a girl in Paris
She talked like Vera Lynn
And her eyes were full of dew drop
The moment I walk in
She was awfully nice
The kind you like to win
But if I'd been wiser
A whole lot wiser (wiser)
Then I might have thought again
Chorus

compositores: Fran Healy
Look at me I'm so disgusting
I will never find another
Quite like you
You make me blue
With the things you do
Look at you you're so familiar
We could be so cool together
All the time
Could all be fine
We're on the line
The line is fine
Open up ma window
The line is fine
Standing on the ledge
Well I don't look down
Looking at the people
Well they all look fine
It's not just life or death
Yesterday we talked together
But tonight it's just the weather
Chillin' me
What's the point in silly talking
We could get there quicker walking
Down the line
Could all be fine
But we're on the line
The line is fine
[Chorus]
But staring at the faces
Standing in a row
Thinking of all the places
That they have yet to go
They don't knowÂ
compositores: Fran Healy
Where is your mother
Where is your father
Two little children
Locked in the cupboard
Into the wide world
High on the highwire
What would you give to fly away
Away, away, away, away
Girl with the flower
Boy with the hammer
Lost in a forest
On another planet
Find me the exit
Find them the way home
Find all the love they took away
Away, away, away, away
'Cause your head is a brick wall
And your heart is a football
And your eyes broken windows
When you cry
It's a good day to die
And your head is a brick wall
And your heart is a football
And your eyes broken windows
When you cry it's a good day
'Cause your head is a brick wall
And your heart is a football
And your eyes
It's a good day to die
To die
To die
To die

I've got a good feeling
Like I know how I'm feeling
Scraping me off the ceiling
Back to that good feeling
Now I find it hard living
Wasting our time giving
When will we all give in
Into that good feeling
Now I got a good feelin'
Like I know how I'm feelin'
Scrapin' me off the ceiling
Back to that good feeling
You picked a time, a very fine time
To look at me, you'd see that I was fine
You're happy too, just towing on your line
But you're afraid of what you'll find behind
In twenty years from now I'll be the same
And you'll be changing all the letters
In your maiden name
Ah you're thikin' that we're one
But we'll never be the same
'Cause I got a good feeling
That I know I'm not missing
Anything you're giving
Isn't worth this good feeling

Do it to me
Do it to me
Do it again
Takin' me high
Takin' me low
Takin' ma friends
Think I'm a fool
Leavin' the school
Bending them rules
But do it to me
Do it to me
Do it again
Mid-summer nights dreamin'
You might treat me right I
Had too much to drink
Don't ask me now
Head in the sink
Do it to me
Do it to you
Do it to them
So much to see
So much to do
So little time
You're breakin' ma heart
You're makin' me cry
You're stealin' ma soul
You don't even try
But do it to me
Do it to me
Do it to them
Mid-summer nights dreamin'
You might treat me right I
Had too much to drink
Don't ask me now
Head in the sink

We're tied to the 90's
In the middle
It's terribly frightening
I'm takin' it fast
Takin' it slow
There's thunder & lightning
It's terribly frightening
Lord knows
Where it goes
But I know
That if so
Well I want to tell you
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
But we're tied to the 90's
Tied to the 90's
Remember the 80's
(They were something)
Were worse than the 90's
We're stuck in a path
Where fashion is fast
And nothin' is lasting
It's all ghetto blasting
And Lord knows
Where it goes
But I know
That if so well I want to tell you
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
Tied to the 90's
"Middle 8"
h oh no
It's nothing to go on
The hifi five alive
That's it I'm stayin' in bed
'til my hair falls out
Everything's over
That said I like my wig
And I hate myself
I know its all in my head
We're tired of the 90's (x3)
But we're tied to the 90's
Oh we're tied to the 90's
We're tied to the 90's
We're tied to the nines
Tied to the nines
Tied to the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
We're tired of the 90's
But we're tied to the 90's
Oh, we're tied to the 90's
We're tied of the 90's
We're tired of the nines
Tied to the nines
Tied to the 90's

You were on my mind
Inside the cinema
You looked so beautiful
I almost had to go
And when I got outside
I thought of you again
I think you should be framed
In some Fine Art gallery
I know you'd disagree with me
But I love you anyways
And should I climb high my
Dreary city walls
They make me feel so small
Oh let me fade away
This city's so cold & old
Forever rain or snow
I'd really love to come and go
Oh won't you go stay with me
I know you'd disagree with me
I just know you'd disagree
But I love you anyways
You were on my mind
Inside the cinema
You looked so beautiful
I almost dried an eye
And when I got outside
I caught the 44
It dropped me outside my front door
Forgot what I'd been living for
compositores: Fran Healy
It starts in the morning
When you're lying next to me
I'm rolling, I'm rolling
I'm rolling so quickly
Now I'm not a doctor
And I'm not a lawyer
I get a prescription and set it on fire
Blow me a kiss
I'll be happy the rest of my life
And I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
I'm so happy 'ause you're so happy
And I'm so happy 'cause you're so happy
Oh - oh - aw
And I'm so happy
And I really shouldn't like it
But I love it
When I say I'm not excited
You're invited
And I think I'm getting older
There's this weight across ma shoulders
It's a shame we're the same
Such a shame I'm to blame all the time
But early this evening
I wanted to be with you
I got on the blower
The next thing I know you're speaking
Now I'm gonna tell you what I've been thinking
And I got a hunch that you're thinking the same thing
And with some luck
We'll be lying together tonight
"Chorus"
Oh - oh - ah
Oh - oh - ah
Oh - oh - ah
And I'm so happy

More than us
And we are them
But they don't know
What's in their hands
It's more than you
And it's more than
I But it's more
And everybody calls it love
But I'm not really sure if it's love
At all
Not anymore
More than he
More than she
They all sleep
But we just dream
More or less
Means more for us
But it's more
And everybody wants a hand
But I'm too busy holding up the world
To carry on
No, not anymore
I wish that I
Could fly, fly, fly away
And if I should fall
And you hear me call
Would you stay
More than us
And we are them
But tehy don'y know
What's in our heads
It's more than you
And it's more than
I But it's more
And everybody calls it love
But I'm not really sure if this is love
At all
Not anymore
Anymore

You think
I don't know
I swear
That I do
This time
On my hands
I've had all this time
And I got a kick out of you
Now I'm falling down
And I'm felling sick how 'bout you
Oh I'm falling
But you seem
Out of sorts
But I know
We'll be fine
These chances
We take
Time wastes
So much time
But I can't stand anymore
Without falling down
And I'm getting used to the floor
Forever falling
And I got a kick out of you
Now I'm falling down
And I'm feeling sick how 'bout you
Oh I'm falling
Yeah I'm falling

A funny thing to do
Is everyone like you
'Cause people seldom change
They all just stay the same
A funny thing to say
Suppose you're just that way
Although you're sure you're sure
There really is no cure
A funny kind of way
A funny kind of day
You're funny all the time
Do you want a piece of mine
'Cause I've seen it all before
When you're closing all the doors
It's not funny anymore
A funny thing to do
Because the sky was blue
You ran away for good
'Cause no one understood
The funny things you said
Because the sky was red
It all went to your head
Because the sky was red
A funny kind of way
A funny kind of day
You're funny all the time
Do you want a piece of mine
'Cause I've seen it all before
When you're closing all the doors
It's not funny anymore
A funny thing to do
Is everyone like you
'Cause people seldom change
They all just stay the same

When tomorrow comes yesterday
You need a sad says
When the crowd don't swallow you up

Doesn't need anybody to mess you up
Doesn't need anybody to kiss you
Doesn't need and they don't really miss you

Blue on a black weekend

Now people always come around
But they don't always stick around
I run a comb across my head
I wish my hair would settle down
The clock I see is running slow
The batteries are running low
I run a comb across my head
And it feels the same like it did before
You're just another first footer across my door
And little less care (hair?) than I had last year
But it doesn't worry me because I
I have no fear
Here
The car I see is painted black
I'm steering (staring) at the driver's back
He runs a comb across his head
And it feels the same like it did before
You're just another fresh fare across his door
And little less care than he had last year
But it doesn't worry him because he
He has no fear
Here, here
Now people always come around
But they don't always stick around
They run a comb across your head
I wish my hair would settle down
The clock I see is running slow
We've only got three years to go
We run our combs across our heads
And it feels the same like it did before
You're just another first footer across the door
And little less care than we took last year
But it doesn't worry us because we
We have no fear
Here
Have we
We have no fear
Have we
We have no fear

Sure it's a gas
Stuck in an English class
Can't even dream
So it's hard to accept the role you're given
When you're sittin' there staring at the ceiling
Wishing you were so very far from here
When you're 13
What fors and whys
If he's got it why can't I
You're my queen
And I dream about you when I'm in my bed
And if all of these things are like you said
Then I'd rather be in another scene
When I'm 14
Just not fair
I'm not getting anywhere
Oh hard as a stone
They expect us to make it out alone
And they scream at us when we're on the phone
And they lecture us all about routine
When you're 15
Get out of here
You're crowding my tender years
Don't say you see
Cos you'd forgotten what it's like to be
And I'm sure that it's changed to some degree
Christ's advice ain't never as it seemed
When you're 16
Four years go
You've fallen before you know
You're now of age
And you're thrown in a different cage
And you're faced with another blank page
And I know I don't need to be told

Sometime I get so low
It take a while to show
But when it go
It go
Just need some time alone
No friends, no telephone
Is this too much to ask?
Sometimes I feel so high
I'm dizzy, closed my eyes
But please don't ask me why
Just need some time with you
In 1922
Your company's so very cool
Hey, la la la la
Sometime I get so low
It take a while to show
But when it blows, you'll know
Just need some time with you
In 1922
It's 1922
We're 1922
La, la, la, la, la...

If you knew what I know
Then you'd be a bit like me
Oh yes, you would
If the birds refuse to fly
They might try to buzz the line
Oh yes, they would
Oh, they only did
We all see our world in hazy shades of gold
Everything's the way it should be
I suppose, I suppose
If you knew false from true
Dougie, get back, Dougie, get back, thanks
Oh yes you would, oh touching wood
Oh if you only did, ooh it'd be so good
C'mon now
If you knew what I know
Then you'd be a bit like me
Oh yes you would, oh touching wood
Oh if you only did, Ooh, feels so... Good

Dearest darling, look at me
Stuck (a)way up on an old oak tree
Looking down and as far as I can see... (a nice deep breath taken)
Dearest darling, look inside
Come with me and we'll walk for a while
And I'll define with you beside
Me beside you beside no one else will do besides
Dearest darling when we wake up
Don't be cold and turn away, love
Cos there's nowhere that I'd rather be
Me beside you beside no where else I'd be besides
Dearest darling time will tell us
If we'll fill up our empty wells
But until then we're by ourselves
Me beside you beside no one else will do
Beside me beside you besides no one else will do

If you find the time to get away
Opportunity may come your way
You can take a bus or catch the train
Let me tell you now you'll want to stay
Sky was brown
Trees were green
Birds all sang a song in vain
City in the rain [x3]
We were sitting in the
Sitting in the city in the rain
Won't you tell me what you came to see
Came to see the university
I trust you had a very pleasant day
Actually it wasn't quite that way
The sky was brown
Trees were green
The birds all sang a song in vain
City in the rain [x3]
We were sitting in the
Sitting in the city in the rain
Oh what fun we had
T he weather wasn't that bad
There just is no sun
Oh no here it comes
If you find the time to get away
Opportunity may come your way
You can take a bus or catch the train
Let me tell you now you'll want to stay
The sky was brown
The trees were green
The birds all sang a song in vain
City in the rain [x3]
We were sitting in the
Sitting in the city in the rain

He turns his light out
He turns his eiderdown
She's in his bath robe
He's in her dressing gown
And he feels down

She looks him up and frowns
And he feels down
Whenever she comes around
Oh he feels down

It's so sad to be alone
No one cares for no one's home
So if you're there
Pick up the phone
Cos I'm standing on my own
Ain't it good to know you're right
And don't it soothe (suit) the darker nights
But pretty soon it will be light
Ain't it good to know you're right
But I'm standing on my own
And this house is not a home
It's so sad to see you go
Things are high, things are low
And it's good to know you know
If you got nowhere to go
And you could spend the night with me
I will sleep on the settee
It's so sad to be alone
No one cares cos no one's home
So if you're there
Pick up the phone
Because I'm standing on my own
Because I'm standing on my own

It's another summer holiday
We go looking out for the good time girls
Good time girls, smarter than normal girls
Good time girls, drinking and taking pills
Good time girls, having a good time
Sittin' in the sun, drinking expensive wine
Good time girls I want to be with you
Pick me up, when I am feeling blue
Oh
Oh
It's another summer holiday
And we go looking down for the good time girls
Good time girls, smarter than normal girls
Good time girls, straight hair and hair that curls
Good time girls, having a good time
Sittin' in the sun, drinking electric wine
Good time girls, will you come out with me?
Make me happy, bringing me cups of tea?
Oh yes
Oh yes

Good time girls, having a good time

Calling all you non-achievers
We are as one and we make a stand
Our wishes of no direction
Repay [?] the same till we reach the end
I imagine all these people
Running up to shake our hands
As we walk along we could be famous
We walk along we could be famous
Yellow buses, streams of caravans
Winding the highway like a snake
Pity all those unbelievers
Busy in life till they make the grey (break)
I imagine ancient places
Sunbeat in some endless heat as
We walk along we could be famous
We walk along we could be dreamers
We walk along we could be strangers
We walk along we could be dangerous
I imagine all these places
I imagine all these things as
We walk along we could be famous
We walk along we could be invisible
We walk along we could be strangers
We walk along we could be dangerous
We walk along we could be famous
We walk along we could be invisible
We walk along we could be strangers
We walk along we could be dangerous...

Everyday faces that say hello
Everyday faces that come and go
Everyday faces that stay the same
Everyday day after day
There was a day
When everything changed
People all came
Stood in the rain
They got a cent
Policeman walked in
The statues all wait
Why didn't change
Everyday face
Was a time all we could do was try
Was a time when we could say goodbye
Now you find you never do the same
Does today feel the same way
'Cos there was a day
When all had been changed
People all came
Danced in the rain
They got a cent
And a policeman walked in
The statues all wait
All the same
Everyday face
There was a day
When everything changed
The people all came
Danced in the rain
They're in pain
A policeman walked in
All the statues are waiting
I didn't change
On an everyday face
Now you're looking at me
Like I'm so passe
I'm a disgrace
Just an everyday face

When I'm feeling blue
I close my eyes and think of you
Standing by a pool
I hope that you remenber too
On a lonely long and winding road
Hopelessly and lonely you're not alone
And all alone
When I'm feeling grey
I close my eyes and drift away
On another day
But not today
Another day
On a lonely long and winding road
Hold me still and tell me I'm not alone

Friday, Saturday, Sunday morning
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
Friday, Saturday, Sunday morning comes
Sunday morning comes

Mother take that ride
You got in my mind
Tell'em what you found
Write it down
What you have is enough
What you want with so much stuff
What you need is a hug
From a passenger you love
One you love
One you love
One you love
One you love
Write a book
Change your name
Run a thousand miles away
Bite the hook
Change your game
In the end, it's all the same
Happy ever after
Dancing with disaster
Hold me close and listen to the song
Why did we wait so long?
Why did we wait so long?
Once upon a cold and starless night
Saw a vision or a trick of light
We know there's nothing wrong
Days are short nights are long
Answer me this question then I'm gone
Ohhh, why did we wait so long?
Ohhh, why did we wait so long?
Ohhh, why did we wait so long?
Ohhh, why did we wait so long?
Ohhh, why did we wait so long?

I'm sick & tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bundle of hope
It's money for dope
Money for rope
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bucket of soap
It's money for dope
Money for rope
I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mother's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
I've had enough of watching scenes
With schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac prima donnas
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
No short-haired, yellow-bellied son-of-tricky-dicky's
Gonna mother hubbard soft soap me with just a bucket of soap
It's money for dope
Money for rope

I once found a beautiful bird
Upon my ground all battered and hurt
And I mended its wing
And I taught it how to sing
As time passed on
My beautiful bird
There came a song
That I had never heard
Now it was a haunting melody
And she played it just for me
So don't let go
My beautiful bird
Don't say no
Until you have heard
What I have to say
That she don't find love everyday
Don't let go
My beautiful bird
Don't say no
Until you have heard
What I have to say
That you don't find love every day
I once found a beautiful bird
Upon my ground all battered and hurt
Now I mended its wing
And I taught it how to sing
So don't let go

That she don't find love everyday

Some people never learn
Keep taking every turn
A little fast
Thinking nothing ever lasts
Descending oh so sweet
Keep playing in my sleep
But when I wake
I can never recall a thing
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything
To this charmed life that we lead
Something is crying out
Through voices in my tears
Hear the voice crying out
In the strangest memories
Nevermind
It's only namida
Namida mo koe mo
Okashii omoide
And reason being
Gives reason to everything
To this charmed life that we lead
Sorry to disappoint you
I never said that I could tell right from wrong
So don't put your faith on me now
I'll leave you in suspension
Till you fall
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything
To this short life that we lead
And the reason being
Gives reason to everything
