Old yellow bricks,
Love's a risk,
Quite the little Escapoligist
Looked so miffed,
When you wished,
For a thousand places better than this,

You are the fugitive,
But you dont know what you're runnin from,
You cant kid us,
And you couldnt trick anyone,
Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from,

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia,
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?

She wasnt raised by the way,
That the emperor put traps in the cage,
And the days she being dull,
Lead to nights readin beer bottles,

You're such a fugitive,
But you dont know what you're runnin from,
You cant kid us,
And you couldnt trick anyone,
Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from,

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia,
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?

You're at a loss,
Just because,
It wasnt all that you thought it was,

You are a fugitive but you dont know what you're runnin away from,

She said I want to sleep in the city that never wakes up,
And revel in nostalgia,
I know I said he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up but,
Dorothy was right though

Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can’t shift the tide that sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Hide some aces up your sleeve
Have you no idea that you’re in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
Cause there’s this tune I’ve found that makes me think of you somehow
And I play it on repeat until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)

Sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few?
Cause I always do
Maybe I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through
Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart’s still open, and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I’m sorry to interrupt
It’s just I’m constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
But I dunno if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few?
Cause I always do
Maybe I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through
Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darling?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?

I’m a puppet on a string
Tracy island time-traveling diamond
Coulda shaped heartaches
Come to find ya fall in some velvet morning
Years too late
She’s a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space
In my mind when she’s not right there beside me
I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can’t help myself,
All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?”
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
I guess what I’m trying to say is I need the deep end
Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes
Unfair we’re not somewhere misbehaving for days
Great escape lost track of time and space
She’s a silver lining climbing on my desire
And I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can’t help myself,
All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?”
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways
So in case I’m mistaken,
I just wanna hear you say you got me baby
Are you mine?
She’s a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space
In my mind when she’s not right there beside me
And I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can’t help myself,
All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?”
Well are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine?

I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
Breathing in your dust
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
If you like your coffee hot
Let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots babe
I just wanna be yours

Secrets I have held in my heart
Are harder to hide than I thought
Maybe I just wanna be yours
I wanna be yours
I wanna be yours

Let me be your 'leccy meter
And I'll never run out
Let me be the portable heater
That you’ll get cold without
I wanna be your setting lotion
Hold your hair in deep devotion
At least as deep as the Pacific Ocean
I wanna be yours

I'm going back to 505,
If it's a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs.

Stop and wait a sec,
Oh when you look at me like that my darling,
What did you expect?
I probably still adore you with you hand around my neck,
Or I did last time I checked.

Not shy of a spark,
A knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark,
Frightened by the bite though it's no harsher than the bark,
Middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start.

I'm going back to 505,
If it's a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs.

But I crumble completely when you cry,
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye,
I'm always just about to go and spoil a suprise,
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon.

I'm going back to 505,
If it's a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs and a smile!

The mirror's image tells me it's home time
But I'm not finished 'cause you're not by my side
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving, carrying your shoes
Decided that once again I was just dreaming of bumping into you

Now it's three in the morning
And I'm trying to change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
And to my message, you reply

Why'd you only call me when you're high?
High, why'd you only call me when you're high?

Somewhere darker, talking the same shite
I need a partner (high), well, are you out tonight?
It's harder and harder to get you to listen, more I get through the gears
Incapable of making alright decisons and having bad ideas

Now it's three in the morning
And I'm trying to change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
And to my message, you reply (message, you reply)

Why'd you only call me when you're high?
(Why'd you only call me when you're)
High, why'd you only call me when you're high?

And I can't see you here, wondering where I might
It sorta feels like I'm running out of time
I haven't found what I was hoping to find

You said you gotta be up in the morning, gonna have an early night
And you're starting to bore me, baby, why'd you only call me when you're high?

Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're
High?

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything's in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
That Bloody Mary's lacking a Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

Oh that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Not as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up...

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she tells she's gonna get it
I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget i
Clinging to not getting sentimental
Said she wasn't going but she went still
Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle
Was it a Mecca Dobber or a betting pencil?

Oh that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren't as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up
Oh, where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go? Woah.

Falling about
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
You just sounded it out
You're not coming back again.

Falling about
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
You just sounded it out
You're not coming back again.

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Started all the naughty nights with niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything's in order in a black hole
Everything was pretty in the past though
That Bloody Mary's lacking in tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

Now then Mardy Bum
I see your frown and it's like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there's a very pleasant side to you, a side I much prefer
It's one that laughs and jokes around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that, on a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Well now then Mardy Bum
Oh I'm in trouble again, aren't I?
I thought as much
Cause you turned over there
Pulling that silent disappointment face
The one that I can't bare

Can't we laugh and joke around?
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that, on a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Yeah I'm sorry I was late
Well I missed the train and then the traffic was a state
But I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate
That reoccurs, oh when you say I don't care
But of course I do, yeah I clearly do!

So laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Still it's right hard to remember that, on a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Arabella's got some interstellar gatorskin boots
And a Helter Skelter 'round her little finger and I ride it endlessly
She's got a Barbarella silver swinsuit
And when she needs to shelter from reality
She takes a dip in my daydreams

My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
That little lady sitting on the passenger side
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
As Arabella, oh
As Arabella

She Spinal-Tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure

Arabella's got a '70s head
But she's a modern lover
It's an exploration she's made of outer space
And her lips are like the galaxy's edge
And her kiss the color of a constellation falling into space

My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
That little lady sitting on the passenger side
It's much less picturesque without her catching the light
The horizon tries but it's just not as kind on the eyes
As Arabella, oh
As Arabella

She Spinal-Tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure

(That's magic) in a cheetah print coat
(Just a slip) underneath it I hope
(Asking if) I can have one of those
(Organic) cigarettes that she smokes
(Rubs her lips) 'round a Mexican Coke
(Makes you wish) that you were the bottle
(Takes a sip) of your soul, and it sounds like

She Spinal-Tapped into your mind and soul
You can't be sure

The mirror's image,
It tells me it's home time,
But I'm not finished,
'Cause you're not by my side.

And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving,
Carrying your shoes,
Decided that once again I was just dreaming,
Of bumping into you.

Now it's three in the morning,
And I'm trying to change your mind,

I need a partner,
Well are you out tonight?

It's harder and harder to get you to listen,
More I get through the gears,
incapable of making alright decisions,

(Message you reply)
Why'd you only call me when you're high?
(Why'd you only call me when you're)
High
Why'd you only call me when you're high?

And I can't see you here when I'm high,
Sort of feels like I'm running out of time,
I haven't found all I was hoping to find,
You said you got to be up in the morning,
Gonna have an early night,
And you starting to bore me, baby,
Why'd you only call me when you're high?

Why'd you only ever call me when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?

Get out the way, mister
With your short sharp tips
No, I won't read your lips right now
And baby, hey
You send a shiver down my spine
But do you read my mind
Do you...
And you're looking pretty suspicious
And probably planning a heist
He's wanting to go to the strippers
It makes him feel all nice

(Cigarette smoke yeah)
The cigarette smoke in your eyes
Watching a stripper and
(Smacking a bloke yeah)
Smacking a bloke here tonight

Get out me way, mister
With your short sharp tips
No, I won't read your lips right now
And baby, hey
You send a shiver down my spine
But do you read my mind
Do you...

He's prob'ly got stopped by a panda
For speeding on his way there
a formal flashing of digital cameras
From tourists in trafalgar square

(Cigarette smoke yeah)
The cigarette smoke in your eyes
Watching a stripper and
(Snortin' some coke yeah)
Snortin' some coke off her thighs
Bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla...

(Cigarette smoke yeah)
The cigarette smoke in your eyes
Watching a stripper and
(Smacking a bloke yeah)
Smacking a bloke here tonight
And I just can't see for the
(Cigarette smoke yeah)
The cigarette smoke in your eyes
Watching a stripper and
(Snortin' some coke yeah)
Snortin' some coke off her thighs
Lalalalalala laaaaaaaoooo
Oww

Outside the cafe by the cracker factory,
You were practisin' a magic trick,
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed,
On the last of your pick and mix.

Said you're mistaken if you thinkin' that I haven't been caught cold before
As you bit into your strawberry lace,
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper,
Is all you have left and it was goin' to waste.

Your past-times consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged,
And I love that little game you had called
Cryin' lightnin',
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons.

The next time that I caught my own reflection,
It was on its way to meet you,
Thinkin' of excuses to postpone.
You never look like yourself from the side,
But your profile did not hide,
The fact you knew I was approachin' your throne.

With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war.
And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw.

And your past-times consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged,
And I hate that little game you had called
Cryin' lightnin',
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons.

Uninvitin',
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes,
You are cryin' lightnin'.

Your past-times consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged,
And I hate that little game you had called,
Cryin' lightnin',
Cryin' lightnin',
Cryin' lightnin',
Cryin' lightnin'.

And who are you, the proud lord said,
That I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
That's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
A lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
As long and sharp as yours.

And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
That lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
And not a soul to hear.

And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
That lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
With no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
And not a soul to hear.

*******************************

А кто ты такой, сказал гордый лорд,
Что я должен склониться пред тобой?
На твоем флаге такой же кот,
Лишь только цвет другой.
Что алый лев, что золотой,
Важней длинна когтей.
Не верю я что коготь твой,
Острее и прочней.

Так говорил, так говорил,
Из Кастамере лорд.
С тех пор лишь дождь в пустынный зал,
По лорду слезы лил.
С тех пор лишь дождь в пустынный зал,
По лорду слезы лил.

Так говорил, так говорил,
Из Кастамере лорд.

What's been happening in your world?
What have you been up to?
I heard that you fell in love, or near enough
I gotta tell you the truth

I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby
Snap out of it
I get the feeling I left it too late, but baby
Snap out of it
If that watch don't continue to swing
Or the fat lady fancies having a sing
I'll be here waiting ever so patiently for you to
Snap out of it

Forever isn't for everyone
Is forever for you?
It sounds like settling down or giving up
But it don't sound much like you, girl

I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby
Snap out of it
I get the feeling I left it too late, but baby
Snap out of it
If that watch don't continue to swing
Or the fat lady fancies having a sing
I'll be here waiting ever so patiently for you to
Snap out of it

Under a spell you're hypnotized
Darling how could you be so blind?
Under a spell you're hypnotized
Darling how could you be so blind?

I wanna grab both your shoulders and shake, baby
Snap out of it
I get the feeling I left it too late, but baby
Snap out of it
If that watch don't continue to swing
Or the fat lady fancies having a sing
I'll be here waiting ever so patiently for you to
Snap
Out
Of
It

Who's that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She dunt do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes,
Yeah, that he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences

And I've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
They're all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!

Although you're trying not to listen
Overt your eyes and staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
"I'm sorry love I'll have to turn you down"

He must be up to something
What are the chances sure it's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be

They said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here

Look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous?
And he don't even have to say 'owt
She's in the stance ready to get picked up

Bet she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
it doesn't stop in the winter, no
Around here

They said it changes when the sun goes down
Over the river going out of town

What a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
I hope you're not involved at all

Arctic Monkeys – One For The Road (А. Залесская)
From the bottom of your heart
The relegation zone
I saw this coming from the start
The shake, rattle and roll
The cracks in black-out blinds cast patterns on the ceiling, but you're feeling fine
I thought it was dark outside, I thought it was dark outside (one for the road)

So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
There's no need to show me round baby I feel like I've been here before
I've been wondering whether later, when you tell everybody to go
Will you pour me one for the road?

I knew this would be on the cards
I knew you wouldn't fold
I saw this coming from start
The shake, rattle and roll (one for the road)

So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor
There's no need to show me round baby I feel like I've been here before
I've been wondering whether later, when you tell everybody to go, will you pour me one for the road?

The mixture hits you hard
Don't get that sinking feeling, don't fall apart
Some out of tune guitar
Soundtrack to disaster

One for the road
One for the road
One for the road
One for the road

One for the road
So we all go back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor (one for the road)
There's no need to show me round baby I feel like I've been here before (one for the road)
I've been wondering whether later, when you tell everybody to go (one for the road)
Will you pour me one for the road?

Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making the eyes at you
And what it is that suprises me, is that I don't really want you to
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
Lighting the fuse might result in a bang, with a bang-go!

I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if your looking for romance or...
I don't know what ya looking for
Well I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!

I wish you'd stop ignoring me, because you're sending me to despair
Without a sound yeah you're calling me, and I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
Lighting the fuse might result in a bang, with a bang-go!

I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if your looking for romance or...
I don't know what yaou're looking for
Well I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!

Oh there ain't no love no, Montagues or Capulets
Just banging tunes 'n' DJ sets 'n'
Dirty dancefloors and dreams of naughtiness!

I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if your looking for romance or...
I don't know what yaou're looking for
Well I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!

Перестань мне строить глазки -
Тогда я перестану строить глазки тебе
Что меня удивляет
Так это то, что я не хочу, чтобы ты переставала это делать
Твои плечи замерзли (ночью холодно),
Но ты же взрывная (ты просто динамит)
Тебя зовут не Рио, но мне плевать
И если подогреть это плавление,
То все закончится очень громко,
Ба-бах, да!!!

Могу поспорить - ты великолепна на танцполе,
Ты ищешь любви, или...
Не знаю, что ты ищешь.
Ну, могу поспорить - ты великолепна на танцполе,
Танцуешь под электро-поп как робот из 1984-ого,
из 1984-ого

Хотел бы, чтобы ты перестала игнорировать меня,
потому что это приводит меня в отчаяние.
Ты зовешь меня беззвучно,
Но я не думаю, что это очень честно
Твои плечи замерзли (ночью холодно),
Но ты же взрывная (ты просто динамит)
Тебя зовут не Рио, но мне плевать
И если подогреть это плавление,
То все закончится очень громко,
Ба-бах, да!!!

Могу поспорить - ты великолепна на танцполе,
Ты ищешь любви, или...
Не знаю, что ты ищешь.
Ну, могу поспорить - ты великолепна на танцполе,
Танцуешь под электро-поп как робот из 1984-ого,
из 1984-ого

Нет между нами любви,
Мы не Монтекки и Капулетти,
Просто отпадные мелодии, ди-джейские сеты,
Грязные танцполы и мечты об извращениях.

Могу поспорить - ты великолепна на танцполе,
Ты ищешь любви, или...
Не знаю, что ты ищешь.
Ну, могу поспорить - ты великолепна на танцполе,
Танцуешь под электро-поп как робот из 1984-ого,
из 1984-ого

Open Sesame (We’ve places to go)

We’ve people to see (Let’s put ‘em on hold)

There’s all sorts of shapes that I bet you can make

When you had to escape, say the word

Well I know that getting you alone isn’t easy to do

But with the exception of you I dislike everyone in the room

And I don’t wanna lie but I don’t wanna tell you the truth

Get the sense that you’re on the move and you’ll probably be leaving soon

So I’m telling you

Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you

Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you

Eyes the color of

(Water left in wood)

Ice and sugar dust

(Crazy green flashes)

It’s a funny thing that I cannot explain

Don’t you know the train keeps rolling

Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you

Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you

Well I know that getting you alone isn’t easy to do

And I don’t wanna lie and I don’t wanna tell you the truth

And I know we got places to go, we got people to see

Think we both ought put ‘em on hold and I know you agree

Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you

Stop the world cause I wanna get off with you

ALEX:
Baby, I'm yours (Baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours until the stars fall from the sky,
Yours, until the rivers all run dry
In other words, until I die

OISIN:
Baby, I'm yours (Baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours until the sun no longer shines,
Yours, until the poets run out of rhyme
In other words, until the end of time

ALEX:
I'm gonna stay right here by your side,
Do my best to keep you satisfied
Nothin' in the world could drive me away
'Cause every day, you'll hear me say

Baby, I'm yours (Baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours until two and two is three,
Yours, until the mountains crumble to the sea
In other words, until eternity

Baby, I'm yours
(Til the stars fall from the sky)
Baby, I'm yours
(Til the rivers all run dry)
Baby, I'm yours
(Til the sun no longer shines)
Baby, I'm yours
(Til the poets run out of rhymes)

Despair to the point where they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
The sheer desperation to be seen
Staring at the television screen
Despair to the point where they provoke
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
Sorry, sunshine, it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the Top 100 list

And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
They told ya, but you were dying for it
She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means

Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and the magazine
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath that says:
"We are defenders of any poseur
Or professional pretender around"
When did your list replace the twist and turn?
Like a fist replaced the kissed-on concern
And if you're bothered, I don't want your prayers
Save it for the morning after

And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
They told ya, but you were gagging for it
Let's have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you're getting thicker
Let's have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you're getting thicker
Assuming that all things are equal
Who'd want to be men of the people
When there's people like you?

ПЕРЕВОД

Отчаянье доходит до такой степени, что они вынуждены
Объяснять, о чем анекдот, ещё не закончив его расказывать.
Отчаянное стремление быть на виду,
Беспрестанное сидение перед телевизором.
Отчаянье доходит до такой степени, что они вынуждают и тебя
Ещё не дорассказав анекдот, объяснять, что в нём, блять, было смешного,
Прости, солнышко, но смешного ничего и нет.
Эта шутка не вошла в хит-парад.

Это повторяется в тысячный раз, и юмор становится всё грубее,
Когда тебя таки нагнут, не удивляйся:
Предупреждали же, что ради этого ты и выступаешь.
Она увидела это и вцепилась в него, оно не было тем, чем казалось.
Все дети мечтают заняться этим - понимайте как хотите.

Ещё одна вариация на тему
"Драка за пульт от телевизора или за журнал".
Ты считаешь, что они делают это для смеха?
Ты считаешь, что их заставляют дать клятву? Они говорят:
"Мы защищаем всех местных позёров
И профессиональных притворщиков".
Когда этот список заменить, повертеть и повернуть,
Как кулаком заменять поцелуи на озабоченность?
И если ты беспокоишься, то я не хочу, чтобы твои молитвы...
Сохрани их на следующее утро.

Это повторяется в тысячный раз, и юмор становится всё грубее.
Когда тебя таки нагнут, не удивляйся:
Предупреждали же, что ради этого ты и выступаешь.
Давай-ка попробуем вытащить медвежонка из автомата.
Слишком медленно, может быть, у меня получится быстрее?
Мы глупеем прямо на глазах.
Давай-ка попробуем вытащить медвежонка из автомата.
Слишком медленно, может быть, у меня получится быстрее?
Мы глупеем прямо на глазах.
Хорошо, пусть всё в мире одинаково,
Кто захочет служить людям,
Если среди них есть такие, как ты?

If you can summon the strength, tow me
I can’t hold down the urgency
You’ve got to make your descent slowly
And oil up those sticky keys

Coax me out my love low
And have a spin of my propeller

It's a necessary evil
No cause for emergency
Borrowed the beak of a bald eagle
Oh, momentary synergy

Coax me out my low
Sink into tomorrow
Coax me out my low
And have a spin of my propeller

My propeller won’t spin and I can’t get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won’t spin and I can’t get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won’t spin and I can’t get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller

Top marks for not trying
So I'd like you to bless us with your effortlessness
We'd wait for and so trained and comforted

And I wonder
Are you putting us under
'Cos we can't take our eyes off his t-shirt
And ties combination

Well see ya later Innovator!

Some want to kiss some want to kick you
There's not a net you couldn't slip through
Or at least that's the impression I get
'Cos you're smooth and you're wet
And she's not aware yet, but she's yours

She'll be sayin' "Use me"
Show me the Jacuzzi
I imagine that it's there on a plate
you're our rendevouz rate
Means you'll never be frightnened
To make em wait for a while
I doubt it's your style
Not to get what you set
Out to acquire
The eyes are on fire
You are the un-forcasted storm

Calm, Collected and Commanding
(Top marks for not trying)
You hit the other story standing
With your ambitions and jokes
I bet there's hundreds of blokes
That have wept 'cos you've stolen their...

Thunder
Are you putting us under
'Cos we can't take our eyes of his t-shirt
and ties combination

Well see ya later

Darlin', tell me something I don't know
Be my baby, be my GTO
Call me something no one else calls me
I forget how I want it
That electricity

My heart was breaking and got left unlocked
Didn't see you sneak in but I'm glad you stopped
Tell me something I don't already know
Like how you get your kisses to fill me with electricity

Love like locked horns, love like dominos
Be my midnight, be my ebb and flow
I forget how I want it
How it crept up on me
It takes over
Electricity

And my heart was breaking and got left unlocked
Didn't see you sneak in but I'm glad you stopped
Tell me something I don't already know
Like how you get your kisses to fill me with electricity

Separated
There I face it
Love like thunder
Love like falling snow

Tell me something I don't already know
Like how you get your kisses to fill me with electricity

My baby wants to drive the train
But don't you let her, don't you let her touch the tracks
I said my baby wants to drive the train
Well all aboard yeah, and don't forget to mind the gap
Don't you let her, don't you know
She's sick and tired of
Being in the background, the passenger
Let her drive the train, oh!

Choo Choo!
Why don't you let her drive the train?
Choo Choo!
Why don't you let her drive the train, yeah

She's setting off from platform four
Make your way down, we'll shut the door bout quarter to five
I said she's setting off from platform four
And they've decided that they're gonna let her drive

Don't you let her, don't you know
She's sick and tired of
Being in the background, the passenger
Let her drive the train, oh!

Choo Choo!
Why don't you let her drive the train, oh...
Choo Choo!
Why don't you let her drive my train, yeah

Choo Choo!
Choo Choo!
Choo Choo!
Choo Choo!

Tricking through the morning
The tramp with the trampoline under his arm
Shifts past your whiskers
So spark is a charm with the barking alarm
Weighs coil ’til the corner is turned

And the bicycle wheels, all struggle to move round
In your muddy mind blatantly cape town
And will intertwine in co-operative time
Shall we sit on the springs ’til the moon goes dry

Chorus
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall

What came first the chicken or the dickhead?
Split sleep reeps through rewards and ill fitting thoughts
A twilight force, she doesn’t wanna walk
Your legs start running and your legs gets caught

Cannot be nineteen, it’s perfectly placed for
The reasonably frightening,
Pulled from the after taste, you’ll have to slip away
and I’m happy to say
Behold as the crook in a hammock plays

Chorus
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors anekatips.com
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall

instrumental break

Behold as the crook in the hammock plays
Crawling with the base of the scales
And fiddles with the feet on a balancing act
Gagged, bound and craft in a tale
Trailing wrapped in a gasp
(repeat)

Chorus
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall
All the pretty visitors
Came and waved their arms and cast
The shadow of a snake pit on the wall

I etched the face of a stopwatch on the back of a raindrop
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass
I heard an unhappy ending, it sort of sounds like you leaving
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning

You look like you've been for breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel
And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature
On how to lose your waitress was miserable and so was your food
If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure
You wear your comfortable shoes

Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer
But the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes
I heard the news that you're planning to shoot me out of a cannon
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning

You look like you've been for breakfast at the Heartbreak Hotel
And sat in the back booth by the pamphlets and the literature
On how to lose your waitress was miserable and so was your food
If you're gonna try and walk on water make sure
You wear your comfortable shoes

Oh, piledriver...

ПЕРЕВОД

Я травил лицом секундомер сзади дождевой капли
И в обмен получил песок из песочных часов.
Я слышал несчастный конец, звук, будто ты уходишь,
Я слышал гробовой вальс, он разбудил меня сегодня утром.

Ты выглядишь, будто ты на завтраке в Хартбрэйк Отель,
И сидишь на заднем месте с брошюрами и литературой о том,
Как потерять несчастную официантку, и это было твоей едой.
Если ты будещь попробовать и ходить по воде, убедись, что
Твоя обувь удобна для этого.

Тайны мигающих желтых и зеленых, когда ты отвечаешь,
Но красный после отдыха никогда не меняется.
Я слышал новость, что вы планируешь снимать меня из пушки,
Я слышал гробовой вальс, он разбудил меня сегодня утром.

Ты выглядишь, будто ты на завтраке в Хартбрэйк Отель,
И сидишь на заднем месте с брошюрами и литературой о том,
Как потерять несчастную официантку, и это было твоей едой.
Если ты будещь попробовать и ходить по воде, убедись, что
Твоя обувь удобна для этого.

О, гробовой...

I heard the truth was built to bend
A mechanism to suspend the guilt
Is what you are requiring still
You’ve got to dance little liar

Just like those fibbs that pop and fizz
And you’ll be forced to take that awful quiz
And you’re bound to trip
And she’ll detect the fiction on
Your lips and dig a contradiction up

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there’s dirt beneath the dirt
The liar take a lot less time

I’m sure it’s clear and plain to me
Its not an alibi you need just yet
Oh no it’s something for those beads of sweat
Yes that we’ll get you back to normal

And after you have dabbed the patch you’ll grieve
And then proceed to scratch the varnish off
That newly added calmness
So as not to raise any alarms too soon

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there’s dirt beneath the dirt

The liar takes a lot less

Time to decide on his saunter
Have you got itchy bones
And in all your time alone
Can you hack your mind being riddled
with the wrong memories

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there’s dirt between the dirt

Fake Tales of San Francisco
Echo through the room
More point to a wedding disco
Without a bride or groom
There's a super cool band yeah
With their trilbys and their glasses of white wine
And all the weekend rockstars in the toilets
Practicing their lines

I don't want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don't want to hear, you know
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don't want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don't want to hear you
I don't want to hear your...

Fake Tales of San Fransisco
Echo through the air
And there's a few bored faces in the back
All wishing they weren't there

And as the microphone squeaks
A young girl's telephone beeps
Yeah she's dashing for the exit
And she's running to the streets outside
"Oh you've saved me," she screams down the line
"The band aren't very good
And I'm not having a nice time"

I don't want to hear you
(Kick me out, kick me out)
I don't want to hear, you know
(Kick me out, kick me out)

Yeah but his bird thinks it's amazing, though
So all that's left
Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf

He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar
I don't quite know the distance
But I'm sure that's far
Yeah I'm sure that's pretty far

And yeah, I'd love to tell you all my problem
You're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham
So get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook

So you're on the prowl wondering whether she left already or not
Leather jacket, collar popped like antenna
Never knowing when to stop
Sunglasses indoors, par for the course
Lights in the floors and sweat on the walls
Cages and poles

Call off the search for your soul, or put it on hold again
She's having a sly indoor smoke
And she calls the folks who run this her oldest friends
Sipping a drink and laughing at imaginary jokes
As all the signals are sent, her eyes invite you to approach
And it seems as though those lumps in your throat
That you just swallowed have got you going

Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Number one party anthem

She's a certified mind blower, knowing full well that I don't
May suggest there's somewhere from which you might know her
Just to get the ball to roll
Drunken monologues, confused because
It's not like I'm falling in love I just want you to do me no good
And you look like you could

Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Number one party anthem

Come on, come on, come on
Before the moment’s gone
Number one party anthem

The look of love - the rush of blood
The “She's with me” - the Gallic shrug
The shutterbugs - the Camera Plus
The black & white - the colour dodge
The good time girls - the cubicles
The house of fun - the number one
Party anthem

Come on, come on, come on
Before the moment's gone
Number one party anthem

You got your H.P. Lovecraft
Your Edgar Allan Poe
You got your unkind of ravens
And your murder of crows

Catty eyelashes and your Dracula cape
Been flashing triple A passes at the cemetery gates
Cause you’re so dark, babe
But I want you hard

You’re so dark, baby
You’re so dark
You’re so dark
You’re so dark

And you’re so mysterious
Got that obsession with death
I saw you driving your Prius
And even that was Munster Koach-esque

You watch Italian horror and you listen to the scores
Leather-clad and spiked collar
I want you down on all fours
Cause you’re so dark, babe
But I want you hard

You’re so dark, baby

I know you’re nothing like mine
Cos she’s walking on sunshine
And your love would tear us apart
And I know I’m not your type
Cos I don’t shun the daylight
But baby I’m willing to start

You’re so dark

Got your H.P. Lovecraft
Your Edgar Allan Poe
Got your unkind of ravens
Got your murder of crows

You’re so dark, babe
But I want you hard
You’re so dark, baby
But I want you hard
You’re so dark, oh
But I want you hard
You’re so dark, baby

Get on your dancing shoes
There's one thing on your mind
Oh, been there looking for you
Sure you'll be rummagin' through
Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Oh, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waitin'n'waitin'n...

The only reason that you came
So what ya scared for?
Oh don't you always do the same
It's what ya there for, don't ya know..

The lights are flashing
Down in here tonight
And so'm I exchange a glance
Looking pretending to dance

Don't act like it's not happening
As if its impolite
To go and mention your name
Instead you'll just do the same
As they all do, and hope for the best...

The only reason that you came
So what ya scared for?
Well don't ya always do the same
It's what ya there for, oooo yaaa!!

Get on your dancing shoes
You sexy little swine
Oh, been there looking for you
Sure you'll be rumagin' through

Oh and the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Oh, but it's oh so absurd
For you to say the first word
So you're waitin'n'waaaaaaaaaohhh...!

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
The lairy girls hung out the window of the limousine
And of course its fancy dress
And they're all looking quite full on
In bunny ears and devil horns in hell

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what's gone before

I want to see all of the things that we've already seen
I want to see you take the jackpot out the fruit machine
And put it all back in
You've got to understand it you can never beat the bandit, no

And she won't be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she's pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there's verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
bear that in mind, yeah you should
bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind
You can pour your heart out but her reasoning will block
Ought you send her after nine o'clock

Anticipation has a habit to set you up
For disappointment in evening entertainment but
Tonight there’ll be some love
Tonight there'll be a ruckus yeah, regardless of what's gone before

And she won’t be surprised and she won't be shocked
When she’s pressed the star after she's pressed unlock
And there’s verse and chapter sat in her inbox
And all that it says is that you've drank a lot
You should bear that in mind tonight
bear that in mind, yeah you should
bear that in mind tonight
Bear that in mind

You can pour your heart out around 3 o clock
When the 2 for 1's undone the writers block.

I thought a saw you in the Battleship, but it was only a look alike
She was nothing but a vision trick under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast when I asked her if I could call her your name

I thought I saw you in the Rusty Hook, huddled up in a wicker chair
I wandered over for a closer look and kissed whoever was sitting there
She was close and she held me very tightly
Till I asked awfully politely, "Please, can I call you her name?"

And I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way round
I smelled your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself

I thought I saw you in the Parrot's Beak messing with a smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak, and she had a broken arm
It was close, so close that the walls were wet
And she wrote in a letraset, "No, you can't call me her name"

Tell me, where's your hiding place
I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along

And I elongated my lift home
Yeah, I let him go the long way round
I smelled your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself

I saw your sister in the Cornerstone on the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own, I thought she might understand
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
She said "I'm really not supposed to, but yes, you can call me anything you want"

The smiles as she walked in the room have all turned into frowns
Am I too quick to assume that the love is no longer in bloom
The tantrums and the tears play a very different tunes to what they did before
Their heads red raw
And the end doesn't sound like the happiest around
When you sobbed before it felt much more like the product of the squabble
Now there's reason for it to be something more
And there would be
Oh its uncertain weather, the curtain has shut for good
She said "see if it's still raining but I'm not dressed for it, and if you loved me..."
And I interrupt to receive the scowl and stare
But still decided to stop her there

Would it be outrageous to say
We're either shouting or we're shagging locked in tempestuous phase
At least that's how we felt yesterday
The eyes are getting heavier
And whether you're sleep or awake, is a mistery
Would a kiss be too much to ask
When you fit me as sunday's frozen pitch fits the thermos flask
It's a pity
It just hit me we can't go back
To the chest touching on the back

Last night these two bouncers
And one of em's alright
The other one's a scary 'un
His way or no way, totalatarian

He's got no time for you
Looking or breathing
How he don't want you to

So step out the queue
He makes examples of you
And there's naught you can say
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay
And you realise then that it's finally the time
To walk back past ten thousand eyes in the line

And you can swap jumpers and make another move
Instilled in your brain you've got something to prove
To all the smirking faces and the boys in black
Why can't they be pleasant?
Why can't they have a laugh?

He's got his hand in your chest
He wants to give you a duff
Well secrectly I think they want it all to kick off
They want, arms flying everywhere and
Bottles as well it's just
Something to talk about
A story to tell, yeah

Well I'm so glad they turned us all away we'll put it down to fate

I said a thousand million things that I could never say this morning

Got too deep, but how deep is too deep?

This town's a different town today
This town's a different town to what it was last night
You couldn't have done that on a Sunday

That girl's a different girl today
Said that girl's a different girl to her you kissed last night
You couldn't have done that on a Sunday
...of course not

Well I'm so glad they turned us all away we'll put it down to fate

I thought a thousand million things that I could never think this morning

Got too deep, but how deep is too deep?

Last night what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don't make no sense anymore

Last night what we talked about
It made so much sense
But now the haze has ascended
It don't make no sense anymore

He knew what he wanted to say
But he did not want to word it
The dirty little Herbert
Was thinking an escape
But the place was well guarded

The guiltyness that started
Soon as the other part had stopped

D is for Delightful
And try and keep your trousers on
I think you should know you're his favourite worst nightmare
D is for...

Desperately trying to stimulate what it was that was alright
3 quarters of an hour ago
That had led him to be in a position
And every compromission
Another freak episode

He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel
I think you should know you're his favourite worst nightmare

D is for delightful
and try and keep your trousers on
you should know you're his favourite worst nightmare

I wanna build you up,
Brick by brick,
I wanna break you down,
Brick by brick,
I’m gonna reconstruct,
Brick by brick,
I wanna fill your love,

Brick by brick,
oh, oh oh, oh oh (2x)

*solo*

I wanna steal your soul,
Brick by brick,
I wanna rock and roll,
Brick by brick,
I wanna rock and roll,
Brick by brick,
I wanna rock and roll,

Brick by brick,
oh, oh oh, oh oh (2x)

I wanna brick by brick,
Brick by brick,
I wanna blow by blow,
Brick by brick,
I wanna… (?)
I wanna brick by brick, by brick, by…

Brick by brick,
oh, oh oh, oh oh (4x)

Your love is like a studded leather headlock
Your kiss it could put creases in the road
You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock
And those other girls are just post-mix lemonade

Suck it and see
You never know
Sit next to me
Before I go

Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes
Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for you

I poured my aching heart into a pop song
I couldn't get the hang of poetry
That's not a skirt girl, that's a sawn-off shotgun
And I can only hoped you've got it aimed at me

Suck it and see
You never know
Sit next to me
Before I go

Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes
Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for...

Blue girls from once a upon a Shangri-La
How I often wonder where you are
You have got that face that just says
'Baby, I was made to break your heart'

Suck it and see
You never know
Sit next to me
Before I go

Go...
Go...
Go...

Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes
Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for you

Blind faith, heartache
Mind games, mistakes
My sweet fireball
My sweet rigmarole

I want it all

Old dogs, new tricks
Can you feel it?
Space age country girl
Stone cold miracle

I want it all

And then suddenly it hit me
It's a year ago
Since I drank miniature whiskey
And we shared your Coke
Said ain't it just like you to kiss me
And then hit the road
Leave me listening to the Stones
2000 Light Years From Home

Shoo-wop, shoo-wop

I want it all

In a foreign place, the saving grace was the feeling,
That it was a heart that he was stealing,
Oh he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement,
The eyes are bright he couldnt wait to get away,
I bet the juliet was just the icing on the cake,
Make no mistake no,

And even if somehow we could have shown you the place you wanted,

Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own,
And I bet she told a million people that she'd stay in touch,
Well all the little promises they dont mean much,
When theres memories to be made,
And I hope you're holding hands by new years eve,
They made it far too easy to believe,
That true romance cant be acheived these days,

And even if somebody could have shown you the place you wanted,
Well I sure you could have made it that bit better on your own,
You are the only ones who know
Top

Well it's ever so funny
I don't think you're special
I don't think you're cool
You're just probably alright
But under these lights you look beautiful
And I'm struggling
I can't see through your fake tan
Oh and you know it for a fact
That everybody's eating out of your hands
[Chorus:]
What do you know?
Oh you know nothing!
But I'll still take you home
Yeah, I'll still take you home
What do you know?
Oh you don't know nothing!
Fancy seeing you in here
You're all tarted up, and you don't look the same
I haven't seen you since last year
You know surprisingly you an't forgot my name
But you know it
Yeah you knew it all along
Oh you say you have forgotten
But you're fibbing', oh don't tell me I'm wrong
[Chorus]
Woaah...
Woaah...
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
[Chorus]
You sold your soul to the fashion
You're a Topshop princess, a rockstar too
You're a fad, you're a fashion
And Ii'm having a job trying to talk to you
But it's alright, put it all on one-side
And everybody's looking
You've got control of everyone's eyes
Including mine

Do the bad thing,
Take off your wedding ring,
But it wont make it that much easier,
it might make it worse,

Oh the nights like a whirlwind,
Somebody's girlfriend's talkin' to me
but its alright,
She's sayin that hes not gonna slap me
or try to attack me,
Hes not the jealous type,
And I ony need to get half an excuse and im away,
But when theres no excuses
thats much easier to say,
I've been before,
And all these capers make her too forward to ignore,
Well She's talkin but im not entirely sure, ohh

Do the bad thing,
Take off your wedding ring,
But it wont make it that much easier,
it might make it worse,

Oh im stood at the bar
and somebody's partner's talkin to me,
But I dont know that is
what she isnt she murmors things to confirm
That the tragedy is true,
And I knew 'how could she could have anyone she wants,
And im strugglin to think of an immediate response,

Like I dont mind,
Be a big mistake,
For you to wait,
And let me waste your time,
Really love its fine,
Really love its fine,

And then the first time it occured
that there was something to destroy,

I knew before the invitation
that there was this ploy,
Oh but she carried on suggestin,
a struggle to refuse,
She said "its the red wine this time,
but that is no excuse"

Up rolled the riot van
And sparked excitement in the boys
But the policemen look annoyed
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid

They got a chase last night from men with truncheon's dressed in hats
They didn't do that much wrong, still ran away though for the laugh

"Please just stop talking
Because they won't find us if you do
Oh those silly boys in blue
Well they won't catch me and you"

"Have you been drinking son, you don't look old enough to me"
"I'm sorry officer is there a certain age you're supposed to be?: nobody told me"

Up rolled the riot van
And these lads just wind the coppers up
Ask why they don't catch proper crooks
Get their address and their name's took
But they couldn't care less

He got thrown in the riot van
And all the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin

Brian,
Top marks for not tryin'
So kind of you to bless us with your effortlessness
We're grateful and so strangely comforted

And I wonder are you puttin' us under
Cause we can't take our eyes off the t-shirt and ties combination
Well see you later, innovator

Some want to kiss some want to kick you
There's not a net you couldn't slip through
Or at least that's the impression I get cause you're smooth and you're wet
And she's not aware yet but she's yours

She'll be sayin' use me
Show me the jacuzzi
I imagine that it's there on a plate
Your rendezvous rate means that you'll never be frightened to make them wait for a while
I doubt it's your style not to get what you set out to acquire
The eyes are on fire
You are the unforecasted storm

(Brian)
Calm, collected, and commandin'
(Top marks for not tryin')
You made the other stories standin'
With your renditions and jokes
Bet there's hundreds of blokes that have wept cause you've stolen their ...thunder
Are you puttin' us under

Cause we can't take our eyes off the t-shirt and ties combination
Well see you later, innovator

Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night, I've no fear that they might desert me
Diamonds are forever
Hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see every part, nothing hides in the heart to hurt me

I don't need love
For what good can love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone
They'll lustre on

Diamonds are forever
Sparkling round my little finger
Unlike men, the diamonds linger
Men are mere mortals who are not worth going to your grave for

I don't need love
For what good can love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me
For when love's gone
They'll lustre on

Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Diamonds are forever, forever, forever
Forever and ever

Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now
Or, darling, have you started feeling old yet
Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts
With the efficiency that only youth can harness
And do you still think love is a laserquest
Or do you take it all more seriously
I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had
But you're always busy being make-believe
And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there
Or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered

Well I'm not being honest, I'll pretend that you were just some lover

Now I can't think of there without thinking of you
I doubt that comes as a surprise
And I can't think of anything to dream about
I can't find anywhere to hide
And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes
And I convince myself I need another
And for a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover

When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair
Singing dreadful songs about something
Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover
Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover

Fools on parade cavort and carry on
For waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she’s never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares

She swam out of tonight’s phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There’s absolutely nothing for us here
It’s a magnolia celebration
To be attempted on a Wednesday night
It’s better than to get a reputation
As a miserable little tyke
At least that’s the conclusion
She came to in this overture

The secret door swings behind us
She’s saying nothing
She’s just giggling along

Her arms were folded most indignant
Not looking like she was soon to leave
I had to squint in order to believe
And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf
I’m unveiling the unexpected
How she was never gonna look to?
Suddenly embarrassed and corrected
How could such a creature
Survive in such a habitat

The secret door swings behind us
She’s saying nothing
She’s just giggling along
And even if they were to find us
I wouldn’t notice, I’m completely occupied

At all the fools on parade
Cavort and carry on for waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she’s never been the kind
To be hollowed by the stares
Fools on parade
Frolic and fuck about to make her gaze
Turn to a scribble on a page by a picture
That holds her options
But you’re daft to think she’d care

Fools on parade (3x)
Conduct a sing-along
Fools on parade (3x)
Conduct a sing-along

Library pictures of the quickening canoe,
The first of it's kind to get to the moon.
Draw some ellipses to chase you round the room,
Through curly straws and metaphors and goo.

Been watching all the neon blossom, flickering.
You look as if you've all forgotten, where you've been.
Going riding through the thunder so cold, fuzz canyon.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4.
3, 2, 1.

Library pictures of the quickening canoe
The first of it's kind to get to the moon.
Give me an eeny, meeny miny moe.
Or an ipp dipp, dog-shit rock and roll.

You've never met before
But still she greets you like a long lost rock and roll
She's definitely one of those
But you'll go wherever she goes

And when my body and my mind
Both start talking at the exact same time
Trying to think of ways to make her mine
But they're difficult to find

It's not what I need
No, your love's not what I need
So don't give it to me

And she said: "Oh, well I knew this will sound cold
But I really have to go
Oh, it's not that I'm not free
There's nowhere I need to be
It's just your love's not what I need
So don't give it to me"

It's not what I need
No, your love's not what I need
So don't give it to me

She said: "Baby, how can I believe you
How can I believe you when you can't believe your luck?"
No point sticking to the plan when it's going slow

It's more a hunger than a thirst
You'll break it out the second time
Before you know about the first
Looks well-equipped to leave you in the lurch
But you'll let her do her worst

And it's not hard to tell
It's obvious the other angels' faces fell
When she told them that she had to go
Troubled wings and overcoat for something colorful
(Tha knows)

It's not what I need
No, your love's not what I need
So don't give it to me
No, your love's not what I need
So don't give it to me
No, your love's not what I need
So don't give it to me
No, your love's not what I need
So don't give it to me
Your love's not what I need

Running off over next doors garden before the hour is done
It's more a question of feeling than it is a question of fun
The confidence is the balaclava, I'm sure you'll baffle 'em good
Will the ending reek of salty cheeks and runny makeup alone
Or will blood run down the face of a boy bewildered and scorned
And you'll find yourself in a skirmish and you wish you'd never been born
And you tie yourself to the tracks and there isn't no going back
And it's wrong wrong wrong but we'll do it anyway cause we love a bit of trouble
Are you pulling her from a burning building or throwing her to the sharks
Can only hope that the ending is as pleasurable as the start
The confidence is the balaclava, I'm sure you baffle 'em straight
And its wrong wrong wrong, she can hardly wait

That's right, he won't let her out his sight
Now the shaggers perform
And the daggers are drawn
Who's the crooks in this crime?
That's right, he won't let her out his sight
Now the shaggers perform
And the daggers are drawn
Who's the crooks in this.... Crime!
That's right, he wont let her out his sight
That's right, he wont let her out his sight
That's right, he wont let her out his sight
You'll be able to post any day of the most
For the sights of all time

You knew that it'd be trouble right before the very first kiss
Quiet and assuming but you heard that they were the naughtiest
She pleaded with you to take it off but you resisted and fought
Sorry sweetheart, I'd much rather keep on the balaclava

ПЕРЕВОД

Побег через соседский сад, пока не истекло отведенное время -
Это скорее вопрос ощущений, чем вопрос желания повеселиться.
Конфиденциальность обеспечена шапкой-балаклавой, и я уверен, ты хорошо собьешь их с толку.
Но закончится ли все лишь щеками, солеными от слез, и "поплывшим" макияжем?
Или кровь заструится по лицу, высмеянного и смущенного мальчишки,
И ты окажешься посреди битвы и пожалеешь о том, что родился?
И ты привязываешь себя к грузовикам, и нет никакого пути назад,
И это все не так, не так, не так, но мы все же сделаем это, Потому что любим попадать в небольшие неприятности.
Не важно - выносишь ли ты ее из горящего здания или бросаешь на корм акулам -
Ты можешь лишь скромно надеяться, что конец будет столь же приятным, как и начало.
Конфиденциальность обеспечена шапкой-балаклавой, и я уверен, что ты сразу собьешь их с толку.
И это все не так, не так, не так, и она больше не может ждать..

Да, все правильно, он не отпустит ее от себя,
Преследователи начинают погоню,
И кинжалы уже вынуты из ножен.
Так кто же здесь преступник?
Да, все правильно, он не отпустит ее от себя,
Преследователи начинают погоню,
И кинжалы уже вынуты из ножен..
Так кто же здесь... Преступник?
Да, все правильно, он не отпустит ее от себя,
Да, все правильно, он не отпустит ее от себя,
Да, все правильно, он не отпустит ее от себя
Ты сможешь запомнить любой день из большинства
По событиям, которые тогда случились.

Ну, ты же знал, что будут проблемы, еще с момента первого поцелуя,
Тихого и самонадеянного? Ты слышал, что они весьма опасны,
И когда она умоляла снять это, ты настоял на своем, подумав:
"Извини, милочка, я лучше останусь в балаклаве".

Watch me... watch me go
Well I'm struttin' up ever so slow
And now sting me... get in the groove
Cause they're bangin' on the door
Yes they're hard and they'll make a move

We're wakin' up those sleepers
You know we're so mischievous
Just what you'll do to keep us entertained
We're wakin' up those sleepers
You know we're so mischievous
Just what you'll do to keep us entertained

(Knock, run)
She's got you up and she's run, run, runnin' away
(Knock, run)
You're knockin' first if you think that you're comin' to play

And I don't mind
Cause all the time you're talkin' at me
No I don't mind at all

Oh well cap-guns and polystyrene planes
Well I'm buyin' penny bubblies with my change
Cause sting me... get in the groove
Cause they're bangin' on the door
Yes they're hard and they'll make a move

We're wakin' up those sleepers
You know we're so mischievous
Just what you'll do to keep us entertained
Oh well now she says she's goin'
That she's got the towel to throw in
Was just about to blow him and run away!

(Knock, run)
She's got you up and she's run, run, runnin' away
(Knock, run)
You're knockin' first if you think that you're comin' to play

And I don't mind
Cause all the time you're talkin' at me
Well I don't mind at all... no

Mad sounds in your ears
Make you feel alright
They’ll bring you back to life
Mad sounds in your ears
Make you get up and down, make you get up

Love I’ll never stray on those wild nights
Run but you can not escape
Make you get up and down, make you get up
All night long and reappear to make up and down
Yeah they make you get up

Some days we go to watch you
We just don’t feel how we want to
You shouldn’t try some times
But you just can’t figure out what went wrong
But out of nowhere, somebody comes and hits with a uh la la la
uh la la la
uh la la la, uh
uh la la la
uh la la la
uh la la la, uh
You got mad sounds in your ear
to make you feel overwhelmed
Mad sounds in your ear
To make overwhelmed
Make you get over

(Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds cover)

Take a little walk to the edge of town
And go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms,
Like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks

Where secrets lie in
The border fires and
The humming wires
Well you know you're never comin' back
Past the square, past the bridge
Past the mills, past the stacks

On a gathering storm comes
A tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with
A red right hand

He'll wrap you in his arms
And tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all of those dreams
It took you a lifetime to destroy

He'll reach deep into the hole,
Heal your shrinking soul
And there won't be a single thing
That you can do
He's a god, he's a man,
He's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name
Across this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat is
A red right hand

You don't have no money?
He'll get you some
If you haven't got no car,
He'll get you one
You've got no self-respect,
You're feeling like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy,
'Cause here he comes
Through the ghetto and the barrio
And the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his
Red right hand

You'll see him in your nightmares,
You'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but
He's not what he seems
You'll see him in your head and
On the TV screen
Hey buddy, I'm warning
You to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
He's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
In his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by
His red right hand

Topless models, doing semaphore
Wave their flags as she walks by and get ignored.
Illuminations, on a rainy day
When she walks her footsteps sing
A reckless serenade

I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Call up to listen to the voice of reason
And got the answering machine

The type of kisses
Where teeth collide
When she laughs the Heavens hum
A stun-gun lullaby

Those twinkling vixens
With the shining spiral eyes
Their hypnosis goes unnoticed
When she's walking by

I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Call up to listen to the voice of reason
And got his answering machine
I left my message but did he forget back to me
And now I'm stuck still wondering
How it's meant to be

Singing a reckless serenade
Reckless serenade

Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade

Well the morning was complete.
There was tears on the steering wheel
dripping on the seat,
Several hours or several weeks,
I'd have the cheek to say
they're equally as bleak!

It's the beginning of the end,
the car went up the hill,
And disappeared around the bend,
ask anyone they'll tell you that.
It's these times that it tends,
The start to breaking up,
to start to fall apart
Oh! hold on to your heart.

Do me a favour, break my nose!
Do me a favour, tell me to go away!
Do me a favour, stop asking questions!

She walked away, well her shoes were untied,
And the eyes were all red,
You could see that we've cried,
and I watched and I waited,
'Till she was inside,
forcing a smile and waving goodbye.

Curiousity becomes a heavy load,
Too heavy to hold, too heavy to hold.
Curiousity becomes a heavy load,
Too heavy to hold, will force you to be cold.

And do me a favour,
and ask if you need some help!
She said, do me a favour
and stop flattering yourself!
How to tear apart the ties that bind,
perhaps fuck off, might be too kind,
Perhaps fuck off, might be too kind.

I can’t explain but I wanna try
There’s this image of you and I
And it goes dancing by in the morning and in the night time
There’s all these secrets that I can’t keep
Like in my heart there’s that hotel suite
And you lived there so long it’s kinda strange now you’re gone

I’m not sure if I should show you what I’ve found
Has it gone for good or is it coming back around?
Isn’t it hard to make up your mind
When you’re losing and your fuse is fireside

There’s all those places we used to go
And I suspect you already know
But that place on Memory Lane you liked
Still looks the same but something about it’s changed

I’m not sure if I should show you what I’ve found
Has it gone for good or is it coming back around?
Isn’t it hard to make up your mind
When you’re losing and your fuse is fireside

And I thought I was yours forever
Well maybe I was mistaken
But I just can’t help manage to make it through the day
Without thinking of you lately

I’m not sure if I should show you what I’ve found
Has it gone for good or is it coming back around?
Isn’t it hard to make up your mind
When you’re losing and your fuse is fireside

You showed me my tomorrow
Beside a box of matches
A welcome threatening stir

My hopes of being stolen
Might just ring true
Depends who you prefer

If it's true you're gonna run away
Tell me where
I'll meet you there

Am i snapping the excitement,
If I pack away the laughter
And tell you how it feels

And does burden come to meet ya
If I've questions of the feature
that rolls on your dream reel

The day after you stole my heart,
Everything I touched told me
It would be better shared with you

And you're hiding in my soup
And the book reveals your face
And there's a splashing in my eyelids
The concentration continually breaks
I did request the mark you cast
Didn't heal as fast
I hear your voice in silences
Were the teasing of the fire
be followed by the thud?

And the jostling crowd
You're not allowed to tell the truth
And the photo booth's a liar

And the sharpened explanations
But there's no screaming reason to enquire

I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes
With things they'd never see if it smacks them in their temples

Break a mirror, roll the dice,
Run with scissors through a chip pan fire fight.
Go into business with a grizzly bear,
But just don't sit down 'cause I've moved your chair.
Find a well known hardman and start a fight,
Wear your shell suit on bonfire night.
Fitting a circular hole with a peg that's square,
But just don't sit down 'cause I've moved your chair.

Oooh, yeah-yeah-yeah, oooh, yeah-yeah-yeah.

Bite the lightning and tell me how it tastes,
Kung fu fighting on your roller skates.
Do the macerana in the devils lair,
But just don't sit down 'cause I've moved your chair.

Oooh, yeah-yeah-yeah, oooh, yeah-yeah-yeah,
Oooh, yeah-yeah-yeah, oooh...

ПЕРЕВОД

Сломай зеркало, покрути костями,
Беги с ножницами сквозь осколки острой кастрюльной борьбы.
Начни свое дело вместе с медведем гризли,
Но только не садись на стул, так как я его убрал.
Найди известного жесткача и затей с ним борьбу,
Оденься в свою форму в ночь костров.
Гвоздем пробей круглую квадратную дырку,
Но только не садись на стул, так как я его убрал.

Ууу, да-да-да, ууу, да-да-да.

Откуси кусок молнии и скажи мне, какова она на вкус,
Покажи Кунг-Фу на роликовых коньках.
Затем сделай "мацерану" в логове дьяволов,
Но только не садись на стул, так как я его убрал.

Ууу, да-да-да, ууу, да-да-да,
Ууу, да-да-да, ууу...

Lady, where has your love gone?
I was looking but can't find it anywhere
They always offer when there's loads of love around
But, when you're short of some, it's nowhere to be found

Well, I know your game, you told him yesterday
No chance, you'll get nothin' from me
But now she's there, you're there, everybody's there
He's in turmoil, as puzzled as can be
Just like me

Let's go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in 24
And just 'cause everybody's doin' it
Does that mean that I can, too?

Lady, where has your love gone?
It was the anti-septic to the sore
To hold you by the hand
Must be first, be in demand
How he longs for you to long for him once more
Just once more

Let's go down, down, low down
Where I know I should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in 24
And just 'cause everybody's doin' it
Does that mean that I can, too? Oh...

Her eyes went down and cut you up
And there's nothing like a dirty look from
The one you want, or the one you've lost

An ache in your soul is everybody's goal
To get what they can't have
That's why you're after her
And that's why she's after him
But sayin' it wont change a thing
And they'll realise that it wont change a thing
Realise that it wont change a thing

Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm
She flicks a red-hot revelation off the tip of her tongue
It does a dozen somersaults and it leaves you supercharged
Makes me wanna blow her candles out just to see if you glow in the dark

Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala

Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet booby-trap
I took the batteries out my mysticism and put ‘em in my thinking cap
She’s got a telescopic hallelujah hanging up on the wall
For when it gets too complicated in the eye of the storm

Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala

Oh...

And in a hellcat spangled cavern
When your judgement’s on the run
And you’re acting like a stranger
Cause you thought it looked like fun
Well did you ever get the feeling
Did you think she set the fall
Her steady hands may well have done the devil’s pedicure
What you waiting for?
To sing another fuckin’

Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala

Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The points thats there ain't no romance around there
And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance around there

You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like
We'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen
Beause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

And over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here

Don't get me wrong though, there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell em if you like
We'll tell em all tonight
They'll never listen
Because their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

But I said no!
Oh no!
Well you won't get me to go!
Not anywhere, not anywhere.
No, i won't go!
Oh no, no!

Well over there there's friends of mine
What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
And they might overstep the line
But i you just cannot get angry in the same way
No not in the same way
So not in the same way
Oh no, oh no no

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck
We tend to see that as a perk though. Look
What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend
And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end
This house is a circus, berserk as fuck
We tend to see that as a perk though. Look
What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend
And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end

Looking for trouble and there's lovers to be had
Those ones next to us are such lovely lads
Scaling the corridors for maidens in the maze
And the anomaly is slipping into familiar ways
And we're forever unfulfilled
Can't think why
Like a search for murder clues
In dead man's eyes
Forever unfulfilled
And can't think why
Like a search for murder clues
In dead man's eyes

The more you open your mouth
The more you're forcing performance
All the attention is leading me to feel important (completely obnoxious)
Now that we're here, we may as well go too far

Wriggling around just so that you won't forget
There's certainly some venom in the looks that you collect
Aimlessly gazing at the blazers in the queue
Struggling with the notion that it's life not film

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck
We tend to see that as a perk though. Look
What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend
And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end

You thrive on dancing in our laps before the more familiar chaps who know the curtain leads to fever
We watched a womanizer cry and in the last sip you and I declared we might require a breather
I am a truth’s true truant and I can feign excitement fluently as solidly as I can busk shock.
With well presented merriment and I know all too well I shouldn’t break the key off in the lock
The tumble splits the frame revealing silk and fits
in the fright lined dining room throw a gaze towards them while they feast
The days drag their heels when you’re not there to crack the whip
And the weeks wait to burst like a sachet of brats
The old pantomime villain follows my coat and he hides where it hangs and he spies through the slats
And meanwhile in the desert’s only costume shop the cowls hang and wait to rot away the identities of the willing
I’m back to sugar in the night, rocketing shutter doors despite the shop not opening for hours
You can itch, flap and whistle.
Try to avoid the tock
as I scribbled over drivel you were snoring showing off.
The tumble splits the frame revealing silk and fits in the fright lined dining room
throw a gaze towards them while they feast.

Been fighting with my sheets
And nearly crying in my sleep
Yes, i'm battling that well taught gripe
The most restraining type
You should have racing stripes

The way you keep me in pursuit
Sharpen the heel of your boot
And you press it to my chest and you make me wheeze
Then to my knees you do promote me

I'm pinned down by the dark
A-n-i-m-a-l
Makes my head pirouette
More than i won't be willing to confess
D-a-n-g-e-r-o-u-s

The light it fidgets through
The thoughts'll soon revert to you
About as bashful as a tribal dance
The first and final chance
And cause the audience

The frighteners and fiends
Divided up into two teams
When the acrobat fell off the beam
She broke everyone's hearts

I'm pinned down by the dark
A-n-i-m-a-l
Makes my head pirouette
More than i would be willing to confess
D-a-n-g-e-r-o-u-s

D-a-n-g-e-r-o-u-s
The most unsuitable pet
It's been long enough now so let's
Make a mess lioness

Pinned down by the dark
I'm pinned down by the dark

D-a-n-g-e-r-o-u-s
A-n-i-m-a-l
D-a-n-g-e-r-o-u-s
A-n-i-m-a-l

We all want someone to shout for
Yeah, everyone wants somebody to adore
But your heroes aren't what they seem
When you've been where we've been

Have I done something to trigger
The funny looks and the sniggers?
Are they there at all, or is it just paranoia?

Everybody's got their box
Doing what they're told
You pushed my faith near being lost
But we'll stick to the guns
Don't care if it's marketing suicidal
Won't crack or compromise
Your do-rights or individes
Will never unhinge us

And there's a couple of hundred
Think they're Christopher Columbus
But the settlers had already settled
Yeah, long before ya

Just cos we're having a say-so
Not lining up to be playdoh
Oh, in five years time, will it be
"Who the fuck's Arctic Monkeys?"

'Cause everybody's got their box
Doing what they're told
You pushed my faith near being lost
But we'll stick to the guns
Don't care if it's marketing suicidal
Won't crack or compromise
Your do-rights or individes
Will never unhinge us

[Instrumental]

(La la la la la, la la)
(La la la la la, la la)
(La la la la la, la la)

All the thoughts that I just said
Will linger round and multiply in their head
Not that mad to start with
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed

It's not you it's them that are wrong
Tell 'em to take out their tongues
Tell 'em to take out their tongues...

It's not you it's them that are wrong
Tell 'em to take out their tongues
Tell 'em to take out their tongues
And bring on the backlash!

It's not you it's them that are wrong
Tell him to take out his tongue
Tell him to take out his tongue
It's not you it's them that's the fake
I won't mess with your escape
Is this really your escape?

If you were there, beware
The serpent soul pinchers
Three hundred and fifty no thank yous and nobody flinches
Go on girl go on, give us something gruesome
We require your grief, the thugs help the thieves
As they're trying to rob the words from her gob
Take the source of the innocents

If you were there, beware
The serpent soul pinchers
Can't you sense she was never meant
To fill column inches
And you've had enough, what you're trying to dig up
Isn't there to be dug, the thieves help the thugs
As they're trying be the good grace of a sweetheart
Out to the point she'll comply

Why leave her on her own
If I'd have known then I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said it if I would have known
Why leave her on her own
If I predicted tears then I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said it if I would have known

There's a circle of witches, ambitiously vicious they are
Our attempts to remind them of reason won't get us that far
I don't know what it is that they want
I don't know what it is that they want
But I haven't got it to give
She hasn't got it to give

Caricatures of your wrecking ball gown
In my mind all the time

I want to be in that damsel patterned alley
Where you go for a smoke

Sorrow slow dances
The phones are lighting up
Taking no chances
Close but never close enough

Been watching cowboy films
On gloomy afternoons
Tinting the solitude
Put on your dancing shoes
And show me what to do
I know you’ve got the moves

All my own stunts
High noon has changed its tune
Linking arms, sinking hearts

Sorrow slow dances
Around the edges of her eyes
Taking no chances
The last one out will win a prize

Been watching cowboy films
On gloomy afternoons
Tinting the solitude
Put on your dancing shoes
And show me what to do
I know you’ve got the moves

Well this is a good idea,
He wouldn't do it if it wasn't,
He wouldn't do it if it wasn't one.
Well my friend fancies you,
Oh what a way to begin it all,
You said it's always exciting words to hear
And we woke up together not quite realizing how,
Awkwardly stretching and yawning,
It's always hard in the morning

And I suppose that's the price you pay,
Oh it isn't what it was,
She's thinking he looks different today,
And oh there's nothing left to guess now

You left before the lights came on,
Because you didn't want to ruin,
What it was that was brewing,
Before he absolutely had to,
And how can you wake up,
With someone you don't love?
And not feel slightly fazed by it,
Oh, he had a struggle,
And you woke up together not quite realizing how,
Oh but he's stretching and yawning,
It's always hard in the morning

And I suppose that's the price you pay,
Oh it isn't what it was,
She's thinking he looks different today,
And oh there's nothing left to guess now

Quick, let's leave, before the lights come on,
'Cos then you don't have to see,
What you've done,
I'll walk you up, what time's the bus come?

ПЕРЕВОД

Итак, это хорошая идея -
Он бы этого не сделал, не будь это так.
Он бы этого не сделал, не будь это так.
Итак, ты нравишься моему другу.
О, что за начало.
Ты сказала, это всегда здорово – такое слышать.
И мы проснулись с тобой, даже не понимая как,
Чудовищно потягиваясь и зевая –
По утрам всегда трудно.

И я думаю, это цена, которую ты платишь,
О, это было совсем не то!
Она думает, что сегодня он выглядит по-другому.
И нечего уже угадывать.

Ты ушла прежде, чем зажглись огни,
Потому что не хотела испортить,
Что бы там ни затевалось
Раньше, чем ему бы пришлось.
И как теперь ты можешь просыпаться
С кем-то, кого не любишь?
И даже слегка не расстраиваясь.
О, для него это была битва.
И вы проснулись вместе, даже не понимая как,
Чудовищно потягиваясь и зевая –
По утрам всегда трудно.

И я думаю, это цена, которую ты платишь,
О, это было совсем не то!
Она думает, что сегодня он выглядит по-другому.
И, ох, нечего уже угадывать.

Быстрее, уходим, пока не зажглись огни,
Потому что тогда тебе не придется видеть,
Что ты натворила.
Я провожу тебя, во сколько приходит автобус?

Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can’t shift the tide that sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Hide some aces up your sleeve
Have you no idea that you’re in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
Cause there’s this tune I’ve found that makes me think of you somehow
And I play it on repeat until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)

Sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few?
Cause I always do
Maybe I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through
Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart’s still open, and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I’m sorry to interrupt
It’s just I’m constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
But I dunno if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few?
Cause I always do
Maybe I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through
Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darling?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?

There's always somebody taller with more of a wit
And he's equipped to enthrall her and her friends think he’s fit
And you just can't measure up though, you don't have a prayer
Wishing that you'd made the most of her when she was there

They've got engaged there's no intention of a wedding
He's pinched ya bird and he'd probably kick your head in

Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh, you’re better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but I know you were though

Now you don't know what she's up to you can only assume
If she's not in the front of the shops then they've gone to his room
Bet she's gone 'round in her school stuff, bet that’s what he likes
I know you thought she were different and you thought she were nice

But she's not nice, she's pretty fucking far from nice
She’s looking at you funny, rarely looking at you twice

Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh, you’re better off without her anyway
You said you wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but it's so clear you were though

Have you heard what she has been doing? Never did it for me
He picks her up at the school gate at twenty past three
She’s been with all of the boys but, never went very far
And she wagged English and science just to go in his car

They've got engaged there's no intention of a wedding
He's pinched me bird and he'd probably kick my head in
Oh now the girls have grown
Yeah but I'm sure that they still carry on in similar ways

Bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
Oh, I'm better off without her anyway
I said I wasn't sad to see her go
Yeah, but I'm only pretending, you know
Yeah, I'm only pretending, you know
I was only pretending, you know
I was only pretending, you know

He's pining for her
In a people carrier
There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that
But architecture won't do
Although it might say a lot about the city or town
I don't care what they've got keep on turning them down
It don't say the funny things she does
Don't even try and cheer him up, because
It just won't happen

He's got the feeling again
This time on the aeroplane
There might be tellys in the back of the seats in front
But Rodney and Del won't do
Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains
Laugh when he falls through the bar
But you're feeling the same
'Cause she isn't there to hold your hand
She won't be waiting for you when you land

It feels like she's just nowhere near
You could well be out on your ear
This thought comes closely followed by the fear
And the thought of it
Makes you feel a bit
Ill

Yesterday I saw a girl
Who looked like someone you might knock about with
And almost shouted
And then reality kicked in within us
It seems as we become the winners
You lose a bit of summat
And half wonder if you won it at all

And don't say 'owt 'cause you've got no idea
And she's still nowhere near
And the thought comes closely followed by the fear
And the thought of it
Makes you feel a bit
...Ill

Despair in the departure lounge
It's one and they'll still be around at three
No signal and low battery
What's happened to me

Both sides, and softly came the growl from both sides
and if his whisper splits the mist
just think of what he's capable of with his kiss

nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
turned your legs to little building blocks
and with his index finger flicks you on your socks

I'll go high pitched, he'll talk and make you voice sound high pitched
dread to think if he got you on your own
and whispered in your ear in that baritone

It's the same stone, his heart was cut out of the same stone
that they used to calve his jaw, it's impossible not to feel inferior

And he could catapult you back to your daddy
or into any hissing misery
and he will tear you out the day after a triumph is as hollow
as the day after a tragedy
he'll extinguish any chance of escape
when he slaps you on your arse or kisses your nape
and he's leaving without saying 'Bye'

And you would queue up to listen to him pissing
and hang around to watch some poor girl blub
and then they chase him down the avenue
incessently pestering him to let you join the club

he knows how to put a cork in the foot
and just how to shut up the charming ones of us
and they've seen him talking to your lady friend

there's a dust track waiting for betrayal
where he'll teach you all the bits they missed

nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try
nice try, you cannot turn away but nice try

you cannot turn away

She's thunderstorms
Lying on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms

I've been feeling foolish
You should try it
She came unsubstituted the peace and quiet
For acrobatic blood flow concertina
Cheating heartbeat, rapid fire

She's thunderstorms
Lying on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms

Here is your host
Sounds as if she's pulling close
When the heat starts growing horns
She's thunderstorms

She's been loop-the-looping around my mind
Her motorcycle boots give me this kind of
Acrobatic blood concertina
Cheating heartbeat, rapid fire

She's thunderstorms
Lying on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms

In an unusual place
When you're feeling far away
She does what the night does to the day

She's thunderstorms
Lying on her front
Up against the wall
She's thunderstorms

Thunderstorms...
Thunderstorms...

Lately I’ve been seeing things
Belly button piercings
In the sky at night
When we’re side by side

And I don’t mean to rain
on anybody’s cabriolet
One of those games you’re going to lose
But you want to play it just in case

Now it’s getting dark and the sky looks sticky
More like black treacle than tar
Black treacle
Somebody told the stars
you’re not coming out tonight
And so they found a place to hide

Does it help you stay up late?
Does it help you concentrate?
Does it tune you in when you chew your chin?
Am I ruining your fun?

And you talk the talk alright
But do you walk the walk or catch the train?
You wanted it, you got it
But you don’t want it now

And I’m out of place
and I’m not getting any wiser
I feel like the sundance kid
behind a synthesiser
And I tried last night to pack away a laugh
Like a key under the mat
But it never seems to be there
when you want it.

Well the times are so a'changing
Baby even when it's live
You can press pause and rewind
You knew it had to go amazing
But is this what you had in mind?
Oh there's nothing you can't find

It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy
It's two thousand and thirteen
(Yeah)

On the back of her transmitter
There's a little shining fruit
And it's coming after you
As for Instagram and Twitter
She got caught in both pursuits
And neither one will cut her loose

It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy
It's two thousand and thirteen
(Yeah)
Yeah

So baby take a walk with me
Past flying cars and time machines
There's nothing that you won't believe, no

It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy
It's two thousand and thirteen
All across the galaxy

Fiendish wonder in the carnival's wake
Though it caresses once again irritate
Tread softly stranger
Move over toward the danger THAT you seek

You think excitement has receded
And the mirror distracts
The logic of the trance
Quickly reaches and grasps
Handsome and faceless
And weightless, your imagination roams

And now it's no ones fault but yours
At the foot of the house of cards
You thought you'd never get obsessed
You thought the wolves would be impressed
And you're a sinking stone
But you know what it's like to hold the jeweller's hand
That procession of pioneers all drowned

In the moonlight they're more thrilling
Those things that he knows
As he leads you through the grinning
Bubble blowers in the snow
Watching his exit
Is like falling off the ferry in the night

The inevitables gather to push you around
Any old voice makes a punishing sound
He became laughter's assassin
Shortly after he showed you what it was

And now it's no ones fault but yours
At the foot of the house of cards
You thought you'd never get obsessed
You thought the wolves would be impressed
And you're a sinking stone
But you know what it's like to hold the jeweller's hand
That procession of pioneers all drowned

If you've a lesson to teach me,
I'm listening, ready to learn
There's no one here to police me,
I'm sinking in, until you return
If you've a lesson to teach me,
Don't deviate, don't be afraid
Without the last corner piece I can't calibrate,
Let's get it ingrained

If you've a lesson to teach me,
I'm listening, ready to learn
There's no one here to police me,
I'm sinking in, until you return
If you've a lesson to teach me,
Don't deviate, don't be afraid
Without the last corner piece I can't calibrate,
Let's get it ingrained

If you've a lesson to teach me,
I'm listening, ready to learn
There's no one here to police me,
I'm sinking in, until you return
If you've a lesson to teach me,
Don't deviate, don't be afraid
Without the last corner piece I can't calibrate,
Let's get it ingrained

I said I wanted it long but you cut it short
And now I'm catching a cold
I told you not but no crack in the doobie
But it was already rolled

Oh, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

Well, I don't care about your massage oils
It's got my skin going red
Cause I'm a mad mother-fucker
With my curtains open
Sitting tucked up in bed

I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh well, I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed
Oh yeah, well I turned down my lights
And my curtains weren't closed last night
Oh baby, I must be mad

I wish you would have smiled in the bakery,
or sat on a tatty settee,
at a mutual friends gathering,
And the more you keep on looking the more it's hard to take,
love we're in stale mate.
To never meet is surely where we're bound,
there's one in every town,
just there to grind you down.

I wish I would have seen you in the post office,
well maybe I did and I missed it,
too busy with the mind on clever lines.
Why not the rounders pitch or the canteen?
You're slacking love, where have you been?
you had to go and wait until tonight

...to give me the invite
don't worry its alright

I wish I would have seen you in the arcade,
sipping on a lemonade,
In a paper cup and chewing on the straw
And I wish I'd seen you in the bakery,
But if I'd seen you in the bakery,
You probably wouldn't have seen me.

He looks as if he hasn't slept
His hair is purposely unkept
And then he knew his people wept
When you crafted your plan

The shadows underneath the eyes
And everywhere the bastard lies
My lack of proof is your disguise
You won't remember me

There's nothing really I can say
But "sorry mate" and walk away
I could be wrong unless you play your game
This world is cruel and most unkind
And horrible is redefined
I can't imagine that you'd mind at all

You're lying again
you're conscious in your friend
And the only thing you're sobbing out is your imagination
Lying again
You're conscious in your friend
And the only thing you're sobbing out is your imagination

Is he really on the street?
Desperation on deceit
And what he's wearing on his feet
Won't solve our mystery

And I am baffled by how you stand there
Soaking it in
And do you hide your identity
Where you hide your grin?
better hide your grin

Shadows underneath the eyes
Everywhere the bastard lies
My lack of proof is your disguise
You won't remember me

There's nothing really I can say
But "sorry mate" and walk away
I could be wrong unless you play your game
This world is cruel and most unkind
And horrible is redefined
I can't imagine that you'd mind at all

You're lying again
Your conscious in your friend
And the only thing you're sobbing out is your imagination
Lying again
Your conscious in your friend
And the only thing you're sobbing out is your imagination.

Ladies you're damn right
You can't read a man's mind
We're living in two tribes
And heading for war
Nobody's perfect
We've all got to work it
But fellas we're worth it
So don't break the law

Your call's late
Big mistake
You've gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take
Next time
Read my mind
And I'll be good to you
We're gift wrapped
Kitty cats
We only turn into tigers when we've got to fight
(Right)
Let's go
Eskimo
Out into the blue

Come take my hand
Understand
That you can
You're my man
And i need you tonight
Come make my dreams
Honey hard as it seems
Lovin' me
Is as easy as pie

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
and I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
Instead of this negligee
What will the neighbors say
This time

I've been goin' crazy while you sleep
Thinkin' of a language that the two of us can speak
So Mr. Prehistoric make your wheel
and I'll be underwater 'cause i like the way it feels

(I said) Your call's late
Big mistake
You've gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take
Next time
Read my mind
And I'll be good to you
We're gift wrapped
Kitty cats
We only turn into tigers when we've got to fight
(Right)
Let's go
Eskimo
Out into the blue

Come take my hand
Understand
That you can
You're my man
And i need you tonight
Come make my dreams
Honey hard as it seems
Lovin' me
Is as easy as pie

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
And I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
Instead of this negligee
What will the neighbors say
This time

Oh
It's very new
Can anybody tell me what to do
Oh
This feeling's very strange
Can anybody tell me what's your game

Oh
A little education
Oh
To give me motivation
Oh
We'll turn the situation
'round

Oh
Oh
Making you a stranger
Oh
I'll only rearrange you
For now

(Oh) I'm just a love machine
Oh
So give me motivation
(Oh) I'm just a love machine

(Oh) I'm just a love machine
Oh
So give me motivation
(Oh) I'm just a love machine

I was biting the time zone
and we embellished the banks of our bloodstreams
and threw caution to the colourful
Then we fell asleep in the car
Until the bumps woke me up in your grip
and the tide took me to your mouth
and then swept me back down to your palms
It's them that put me inside the reminder that
Yours is the only ocean
that I want to swing from
Yours is the only ocean
that I want to hang on

I've got this ego mechanic
She's always trying to give me vitamins
She'd be frightened of your reflection
I preferred her as a cartoon
If I could be someone else for a week
I'd still spend it chasing after you
She's not shattering my attitudes
no matter how she folds the potion
Yours is the only ocean
that I want to swing from
Yours is the only ocean
that I want to hang on

Potion Approaching
Shield your eyes
Potion Approaching
Visualise
Holding a token
Swollen in size
Potion Approaching
Shield your eyes

If we're going to escape though
We really ought to think it through
Would you like me to build you a go kart?

Well I've seen your eyes as they fix on me
What is he doing? What on earth's the plan? Has he got one?
You'd better give me some pointers
Since you are the big rocket launcher and I'm just the shotgun

Well I ain't got no dollar signs in my eyes
That might be a surprise but it's true
That I'm not like you and I don't want your advice
Or your praise or to move in the ways you do
And I never will

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail

Well I've seen your eyes as they fix on me
Full of confusion
Your snarl is just so condescending
Try to explain that we're onto a win
If the fee we get in
Near recoups what we're spending

He said, I can't believe that you drove all that way
Well how much did they pay ya? How much did they pay ya?
You'd've been better to stay round our way
Thinking 'bout things but not actually doing THE THINGS

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail

Cause all you people are vampires
And all your stories are stale
And though you pretend to stand by us
I know you're certain we'll fail

All you people are vampires

Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there ain't no romance around there
And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there ain't no romance around there

You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell 'em if you like
We'll tell 'em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And cause it's all okay to carry on that way

And over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here

Don't get me wrong, oh there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a coupla cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead

Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell em if you like
We'll tell em all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way

I said no
Oh no!
Oh you won't get me to go!
Anywhere, Not anywhere
I won't go
Oh no no!

Well over there there's friends of mine
What can I say, I've known 'em for a long long time
And yeah they might overstep the line
But you just cannot get angry in the same way
------------------------------------------------
Итак, они могут носить классические Reeboks
Или потертые Converse,
Или дорожные туфли с заправленными носками.
Но дело совсем не в этом -
Дело в том, что романтика тут и рядом не стояла.
И эта правда, которой они не видят.
Возможно, ещё захотят врезать мне,
И, если б ты их только видела, ты бы согласилась,
Согласилась, что романтикой тут и не пахло.

Знаешь, это так забавно, знаешь ли -
Мы им скажем, если хочешь,
Мы скажем им всё сегодня!
Но они не станут слушать,
Потому что таков их разум,
И настрой таков, что это нормально - продолжать в том же духе.

И повсюду тут - сломанные кости,
Только музыка для новых рингтонов.
И не надо звать Шерлока Холмса,
Чтобы понять, что здесь всё чуть-чуть по-иному.

Не пойми меня неверно, все эти мальчики в группах
И дети, что любят кидаться слякотью из луж,
И только потому что у него есть пара банок
Он думает, что это нормально - вести себя как кретин.

Знаешь, это так забавно, знаешь ли -
Мы им скажем, если хочешь,
Мы скажем им всё сегодня!
Но они не станут слушать,
Потому что таков их разум,
И настрой таков, что это нормально - продолжать в том же духе.

Я говорю нет.
О, нет!
О, нет, ты не заставишь меня уйти
Никуда, никуда.
Я не пойду,
О нет нет!

Итак, тут мои друзья.
Что я могу сказать, я знаю их долгое время.
И, да, они могут перегибать палку,
Но ты просто не можешь злиться на них так же.

Ask if we can have six in
If not we'll have to have two
You're coming up our end aren't you
So I'll get one with you
Won't he let us have six in
Especially not with the food
He could have just told us no though
He didn't have to be rude
See her with the green dress
She talked to me at the bar
How come it's already two pound fifty?
We've only gone about a yard
Couldn't you see she were gorgeous
She were beyond belief
But this lad at the side drinking his Smirnoff Ice
Came and paid for her tropical reef
Sitting going backwards
And I didn't want to leave
I said it's High Green mate
Via Hillsborough please
Well how funny were that sketch earlier
Up at that taxi rank
Oh no you woulda missed it,
I think it were when you went to the bank
These two lads squaring up proper shouting
About who was next in the queue
The kind of thing that would seem so silly
But not when they've both had a few
Well calm down, temper, temper
You shouldn't get so annoyed
You're acting like a silly little boy
And they wanted to be men
And do some fighting in the street
(They said) No surrender! No Chance of Retreat
So hiding in the taxi
Cause I didn't wanna leave
I said it's High Green mate
Via Hillsborough please
Drunken plots hatched to jump it, ask around are you sure?
Went for it but the red light was showing
And the red light indicates doors are secured

When you left the house this evening,
You said you'd be back in a little while
Well I've been waiting for such a long time,
And this wait is driving me wild...

And while I wait I think about you,
Do you need me when I'm not there ?
Are you planning to be without me ?
Do you have a new attract ?

You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman

If he is on you...
It keeps flashing through my mind,
If you would only call,
If you would be so kind.
Imagine things,
I see another man
And it's this waiting I just can't stand...

You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman
You're a bad bad woman

Sat in the cafe by the cracker factory,
You were practicing a magic trick,
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed,
On the last of your pic and mix.

Said your mistaken if you thinking that i have been caught cold before
As you bit into your strawberry lace,
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper,
Is all you have left and it was going to waste.

Your past-times, consisted of the strange,
And twisted and deranged,
And I love that little game you had called,
Crying lightning,
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons.

The next time that I caught my own reflection,
It was on it's way to meet you,
Thinking of excuses to postpone.
You never look like yourself from the side,
But your profile did not hide,
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne.

With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war.
And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw.

And your past-times, consisted of the strange,
And twisted and deranged,
And I hate that little game you had called,
Crying lightning,
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons.

Uninviting,
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes,
You are crying lightning.

Your past-times, consisted of the strange,
And twisted and deranged,
And I hate that little game you had called,
Crying lightning,
Crying lightning,
Crying lightning,
Crying lightning.

Your past-times, consisted of the strange,
And twisted and deranged,
And I hate that little game you had called,
Crying.

Well, I watch you tangle every weekend
It might start different but it ends up the same
One minute you're casually speaking
The next it all goes up and you pour fuel up on the flame with your
Jeri can of words and tones

Noone's gonna start a revolution
So we best leave it well alone
And there's something that Frankie used to say, apparently
Oh, he said settle for a draw
Well, you're not gonna get no more
So you should settle for a draw
I've told you once I'm sure
I've told you once I'm sure you should settle for the draw
Why don't you settle for the draw?

Well you're right it is one set of rules for her
And then another set for you
But that's just the way it is, I suppose
And there's nowt you can do
And let's not fall in the trap of answering back
I am just a beginner
But she'll be the only winner
That's for sure
So take the draw if it's available

And if it sets on fire
Don't get out your jeri can of
Words and tones

Noone's gonna start a revolution
So we best leave it well alone
And there's something that Frankie used to say, apparently
Oh, he said settle for a draw
you're not gonna get no more
So you should settle for a draw
I've told you once I'm sure
I've told you once I'm sure you should settle for the draw
why don't you settle for a draw

I’m a puppet on a string
Tracy island time-traveling diamond
Coulda shaped heartaches
Come to find ya fall in some velvet morning
Years too late
She’s a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space
In my mind when she’s not right there beside me
I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can’t help myself,
All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?”
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
I guess what I’m trying to say is I need the deep end
Keep imagining meeting, wished away entire lifetimes
Unfair we’re not somewhere misbehaving for days
Great escape lost track of time and space
She’s a silver lining climbing on my desire
And I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can’t help myself,
All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?”
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine?
And the thrill of the chase moves in mysterious ways
So in case I’m mistaken,
I just wanna hear you say you got me baby
Are you mine?
She’s a silver lining lone ranger riding through an open space
In my mind when she’s not right there beside me
And I go crazy cause here isn’t where I wanna be
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory
And I can’t help myself,
All I wanna hear her say is “Are you mine?”
Well are you mine?
Are you mine?
Are you mine?

Oh baby, I'm wanting to do you a swap
I'll give you anything, yeah
In return for the noises you've got
And I can see you want to be attended to
Just count to twenty-nine and I'll attend to you
Oh for sure... well certainly, yeah yeah yeah
Wavin' bye to the train or the bus
I'm ever so worried because...
I don't want to get all forgotten...

So very comfortable..
Don't really need to put up my feet,
And even in fat sam's grand slam,
Can't see it being easier to speak.
when you've karate-kicked your way to someone new
And I'm a memory and don't know what to do
All on his own...
Collecting his dole n' stuff

Wavin' bye to the train or the bus
I'm ever so worried because...
I don't want to get all forgotten...
Cause we know
Yeah, we know-oh-oh-oh
Oh we know, a woah-oh-oh

Don't know where we're going, baby
I s'pose it depends
But even if we're all far apart
We can all come back and all be fine
We'll be able to be together again

Be together again
Be together again
Be together again
...

007 and Brucey Wayne,
Are shitting themselves because there's another name,
Coming to claim what is his to claim,
10% faster with a sturdier frame,
He's certainly come into his own,
There's one on is arm in every land that he roams,
And two consecutive nights alone,
Are a thing of the past as he has recently shown

They said he looks so handsome,
Stood not dancing,
Drawing you in like it's boring to him,
It's a war you can't win and the first and the last are two thing's you'll never be my darling

Another run around and another push and shove,
Further away from the idea of love,
And his conclusion it must be good,
Or when the penny has dropped with an incredible thud,
Forgot to kick the tin,
He knows where she's going but dunt' know where she's been,
And there's the plus of the other thing,
He'll worry about it when it's trouble he's in

They said he looks so handsome,
Stood not dancing,
Drawing you in like it's boring to him,
It's a war you can't win and the first and the last are two thing's you'll never be my darling,
Thing's you'll never be my darling,
(Thing's you'll never be my darling)
Two thing's you will never be my darling,
(Thing's you'll never be my darling)

Well he sneered and sniffed and spat at my chat up lines,
Not to feel like a twat at times, is hard,
But not for this kid, not when they come to you

Made me kiss you, with a whisper
And violently you swung, through an unfamiliar tongue
Couldn't listen, to tradition
Grab me by the wrist to silently insist...

And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls
You hold me in place
The ripples on the ceiling, the avenues
Oh/own the sugar taste
We'll waste away the evening
The afternoon, The afternoon's hat
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at.

You stood shirtless and confident
Listening to the fools, tickling the rules
Their obsessions followed patterns
Sat upon their stools, with their attitudes.

And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls
You hold me in place
The ripples on the ceiling, the avenues
Oh/own the sugar taste
We'll waste away the evening
The afternoon, The afternoon's hat
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at.

And when I'm in the confines of crawling walls
You hold me in place
The ripples on the ceiling, the avenues
Oh/own the sugar taste
Waste away the evening
The afternoon, and The afternoon's hat
Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at.

Try and think of something colourful for this season
Pull the wool over the gullible for no reason
You are all i have these days, shake it up and run away
With the night squabbling behind you

From the smoke in your hair to the blood in the bruise
and the bows on the shoes you kicked off
I'm joining the dots.
I'm joining the dots.

Thought I heard them talking in their sleep yesterday
And I tried but I just can't believe a thing they say
Hurry up they'll be here soon, sleeping in the afternoon
While the rain's trying to prove a point outside

From the smoke in your hair to the blood in the bruise
and the bows on the shoes you kicked off
I'm joining the dots.
I'm joining the dots.
I'm joining the dots.

Those people make me calm, calm the flame
Come up to the mouth for a change
And darling if it's all the same to you, I'll have you to myself
I'm joining the dots.
I'm joining the dots.

Black as a beacon
In a river of shimmering fog
Yes she was
If you were heat seeking
She was hard to ignore
Yes she was
And she snapped
Wing mirrors off a Cadillac
With a particular pretty one
And that meant she never had to strain her back
When she was putting her lippy on
Well Time tastes bland
When she's not around
And you'd sit and you'd sink and approach the brink
Before she showed you how to shake love's steady hand
And she snapped
Wing mirrors off a Cadillac
With a particular pretty one
And that meant she never had to strain her back
When she was putting her lippy on
Shake love's steady hand
Shake love's steady
She floats like an niccy rush but she stings like a bee...
The Blond-o sonic shimmer trap
And she snapped the wing mirrors off a Cadillac
With a particular pretty ones
And that meant she never had to strain her back
When she was putting her lippy on

Space invaders flying home
Yeah, they're going to hit the sack
And they are prob'ly going to die getting high
Cause they're mixing crazy ... with the crack

And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
In July, so she won't be coming back

Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days have died
Baby, baby, baby
Now won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days are dead
So come on!

And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
And she'll like it, so she won't be coming back

And she's kissing all the boys
She's to clever to be slack
But she's bound to go away for a day
In July, so she won't be coming back

Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days have died
Baby, baby, baby
Now won't you dry your pretty eyes
Baby, baby, baby
Your good old days are dead
So come on!

Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt
Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
You say what did you do with him today?
And sniff me out like I was Tanqueray

Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear me down like Roger Moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was troubled
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy
He’s in the place, but I can't get joy
Thinking of you in the final throws
This is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet you, chips and pitta,
You say 'when we married',
'cause you're not bitter,
'There'll be none of him no more',
I cried for you on the kitchen floor,

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was troubled
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reunion Jamaica and Spain,
We're like how we were again,
I'm in the tub, you on the seat,
Lick your lips as I soap my feet,
Then you notice likkle carpet burn,
My stomach drop and my guts churn,
You shrug and it's the worst,
Who truly stuck the knife in first

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was troubled
You know that I'm no good

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was troubled
You know that I'm no good

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

Won't somebody let me out?
Don't want to stick around no more
Sick of looking at you strange
Sick of sticking to the floor

No one of you has got an ounce of style in ya
Said not one of you, no

Fuck it all and break your nose
If they keep on pushing you around
Keep on stepping on your toes
Pick you up when you fall down

No one of you has got an ounce of style in ya
Said not one of you, no

No one of you has got an ounce of style in ya, no
Said not one of you, no

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs,

Stop and wait a sec,
Oh when you look at me like that my darling,
What did you expect,
I probably still adore you with you hand around my neck,
Or I did last time I checked,

Not shy of a spark,
A knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark,
Frightened by the bite though its no harsher than the bark,
Middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start,

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs,

But I crumble completely when you cry,
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye,
Im always just about to go and spoil a suprise,
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon,

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs and a smile!

Put your Dukes up John,
Yeah, put your dukes up John,
You were preened and sanitised,
Struck dumb by good advice.

Your integrity was bruised,
Your celebrity a ruse,
They pulled the rug from under,
Made way for new pretenders.

Put your Dukes up, John
(Change your tune and change your hair)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Or you re not going anywhere)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Change your tune and change your hair)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Or you re not going anywhere)
Be a C.Y.N.I.C.
Be a C.Y.N.I.C.

The profit margin blinds them,
They groomed and ostracised him,
His calm makes my blood boil,
His calm makes my blood boil,

Put your Dukes up, John
(Change your tune and change your hair)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Or you re not going anywhere)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Change your tune and change your hair)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Or you re not going anywhere)
Be a C.Y.N.I.C.
Be a C.Y.N.I.C.

Change your tune and change your hair
or your not going anywhere
Change your tune and change your hair
or your not going anywhere

Change your tune and change your hair
or your not going anywhere
Change your tune and change your hair
or your not going anywhere

Put your Dukes up, John
(Change your tune and change your hair)
Put your Dukes up, John
(or your not going anywhere)
Put your Dukes up, John
(Change your tune and change your hair)
Put your Dukes up, John
(or your not going anywhere)

Be a C.Y.N.I.C.

Be a C.Y.N.I.C.

Be a C.Y.N.I.C.

Be a C.Y.N.I.C

Well I wrote my number down
Never wrote it down before
Was gonna bring it over like something from a film
But I didn't have the bottle at all

Well I'm looking and you kept staring
Your thoughts bearing up with mine
And when you're so pretty and I'm so shy
You probably didn't give me the eye but I'm sure you did

Well I went outside
Couldn't say I tried
And I felt regret
Because you haven't bashed me and dashed back in
Cause the ship hasn't sailed yet

But when I did I couldn't see your face
I could see your mates but that wouldn't do
Well I dashed around, tried to find you
But you were, nowhere to be seen
Oh no no...

(la la la, la la la, la, la la la la)
(la la la, la la la, la, la la la la)
(la la la, la la la, la, la la la la)
(la la la, la la la, la, la la la la)

Well she moved in ways, that kept her there
In our minds for days
And weeks and months
I was that amazed
And there she stayed
Surrounded by the what if's and the maybe's

a pussyfooting setting sun
make a wish that weighs a tonne
there are no handles for you to hold
and no understanding where it goes

jealously in technicolor
fear by name, love by numbers
streamlamp amber, wonderlust
(?) blunderbuss

she looks as if she's blowing a kiss at me
and suddenly the sky is a scissor
sitting on the floor with a tambourine
crushing up a bundle of love

don't take it so personally
you're not the only one
that time has got it in for honey
that's where you're wrong

all the old flames fastened on
make a wish that weighs a tonne
there are no handles that you can hold
and no understanding where it goes

she looks as if she's blowing a kiss at me
and suddenly the sky is a scissor
sitting on the floor with a tambourine
crushing up a bundle of love
don't take it so personally
you're not the only one, that time has got it in for honey
that's where you're wrong
that's where you're wrong

Sank into their calculations and snorted on a stench
a bare arithmetic
look for the boy who was hanging his head low
more trophies and ideas
to follow their pretend.

with a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face
he followed with obedience and fell in the nettles.

I flew in some spiked meniscus and he bought his own rope
and skipped against the rode
did start not to find the dark lead and catch that man i hope
devices man are closed
he lost all his foot holes.

and with a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face
he followed with obedience and fell in the nettles,fell in the nettles, fell in the nettles

he was a toothpick and the garlic and the cinder upon the pub
failed to blunt or hinder, a slow collapse
and clinging to the door frame he was trapped
after a reminder of where he had been

with a smile in his pocket and a scowl on his face
there was nowhere to flee
just had to tent in the nettles

Come and take a leaf out of my book
I'm a crack dealing crook
Selling lots of rock and roll to the masses
And I know if you wanna take a trip to the city
We can go (to Gibraltar)
We can go (to Gibraltar)

Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on

Give me your switch card - I'll book some flights

1996 and I'm stuck at the bottom of a truck
On the run from MI5 ..., got detectives
And I'll say if you catch me that I really really wish
That I had stayed (in Gibraltar)
That I had stayed (in Gibraltar)

Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on

Give me your switch card - I'll book some flights

When I got back from fixing my hair, you were directing the traffic.
Letting your story slip on the snow as if the transmission was automatic.
It's arguable that I shouldn't have been there.
It was fortunate timing.
I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat and my love dropped into the lining.
(Have you got your strange?)
Not on me. I haven't got my strange
(Have you got your strange?)
Not on me
You can't sleep until you've sat on the steps to weep until you feel like you've wept yeah.
(As long as you don't forget your strange)
(Have you got your strange?)
No, not on me. I haven't got my strange
(Have you got your strange?)
No, not on me. I haven't got my strange
I've better fetch my strange
I haven't got my strange
I haven't got my same

She was marrying a matador and he was with the weather girl,
A very clever girl who stood out amongst several once
A terrible dilemma and forever he'll regret this day he didn't make the
Rescue from the bull ring
Sulking won't get you nowhere son,
There's blood on your chin where you've bitten your tongue
Smitten but might not be smitten for long if you're still sitting she'll soon
Be smitten and gone

Sat at the side of the pool at one of your houses
With wet white trousers on
And worlds collide as the evening continues
The dignity fucks off

Her brother's gone off to the strippers
To make up for all the lost time
She could have been one of the bitches
But she's actually alright

(Cigarette smoker)
I'm sorry, but we're all unsure
How much you've had but
(We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more

A country home, even if we really tried
What if it's just surprises now?
And I bet your dad would like to give us all a slap
When are your parents back? d'you know?

Well I never came from no ghetto
But it wasn't nowhere near here
Well-spoken girls in stalletoes
Aren't something to fear

(Cigarette smoker)
I'm sorry, but we're all unsure
How much you've had but
(We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more

[Instrumental]

(Cigarette smoker)
I'm sorry, but we're all unsure
How much you've had but
(We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more

(Cigarette smoker)
Cigarette smoke doesn't hide
As well as you think
And you'd think that it oughta
Act as the perfect disguise

Now then Mardy Bum
I see your frown and it's like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there's a very pleasant side to you, a side I much prefer
It's one that laughs and jokes around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that, on a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Well now then Mardy Bum
Oh I'm in trouble again, aren't I?
I thought as much
Cause you turned over there
Pulling that silent disappointment face
The one that I can't bare

Can't we laugh and joke around?
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that, on a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Yeah I'm sorry I was late
Well I missed the train and then the traffic was a state
But I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate
That reoccurs, oh when you say I don't care
But of course I do, yeah I clearly do!

So laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen, yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Still it's right hard to remember that, on a day like today
When you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Вот и снова Марди Бум.
Я вижу как ты стоишь,
Насупленно глядя в барабан своего револьвера.
И он выстреливает,
И прорываются все эти слова.
Для тебя есть хорошая мишень,
От которой я бы и сам не отказался..

Та единствененная, что постоянно смеётся и откалывает номера.
Помнишь крепкие объятия на кухне?
И как приходилось потом поднимать вещи с пола.
И всё заканчивалось, заканчивалось и ничего не оставалось.
И всё это очень тяжело вспоминать.
Особенно в такой день как сегодня,
Когда ты весь такой логичный,
И тебе необходимо с этим смирится.

Вот и снова Марди Бум.
Ой, я снова в беде, не так ли?
Я думаю, да.
Ведь ты стоишь неподалёку
С тихим разочарованным лицом,
С таким, какое я не в силах выносить.

Неужели мы не можем просто смеятся и шутить?
Помнишь крепкие объятия на кухне?
И как приходилось потом поднимать вещи с пола.
И всё заканчивалось, заканчивалось и ничего не оставалось.
И всё это очень тяжело вспоминать.
Особенно в такой день как сегодня,
Когда ты весь такой логичный,
И тебе необходимо с этим смирится.

Я сожалею, что опоздал.
Просто я опоздал на поезд
И стоял в пробке.
Но я не могу так тупить и продолжать этот диспут.
Это происходит постоянно, когда
Ты обвиняешь меня в том, что мне всё равно.
Но я же действительно волнуюсь!! Действительно!

Так давай просто смеятся и шутить!
Помнишь крепкие объятия на кухне?
И как приходилось потом поднимать вещи с пола.
И всё заканчивалось, заканчивалось и ничего не оставалось.
И всё это очень тяжело вспоминать.
Особенно в такой день как сегодня,
Когда ты весь такой логичный,
И тебе необходимо с этим смирится.

Old yellow bricks,
Love's a risk,
Quite the little Escapoligist
Looked so miffed,
When you wished,
For a thousand places better than this,

You are the fugitive,
But you dont know what you're runnin from,
You cant kid us,
And you couldnt trick anyone,
Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from,

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia,
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?

She wasnt raised by the way,
That the emperor put traps in the cage,
And the days she being dull,
Lead to nights readin beer bottles,

You're such a fugitive,
But you dont know what you're runnin from,
You cant kid us,
And you couldnt trick anyone,
Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from,

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia,
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?

You're at a loss,
Just because,
It wasnt all that you thought it was,

You are a fugitive but you dont know what you're runnin away from,

She said I want to sleep in the city that never wakes up,
And revel in nostalgia,
I know I said he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up but,
Dorothy was right though

The painted faces congregate
In the mating season
The second hopes
They go alone
In no rush to leave 'em
And there's a fountain
And a scimitar
Shaped yellow light
That picks you up
And cuts you down to size

The people there
And the furniture
Start to seem important
And a whole lot more
You catch the floor
With a vivid and absortant sharpened arc
Like the scimitar
Shaped yellow light
That picks you up
And cuts you down to size

I had questions for the tap dancer
Sat on my lap
And she had child proof caps on her answers
Stolen blower blow me a scone
And show me that handsome enhancer
She had a rock on her throttle
And a brown glass bottle full of
Shavings from the sun
Although those shoes affect your step
Dont forget whose legs you're on

There's a fountain and a scimitar
Shaped yellow light
That picks you up
That cuts you down to size

Leave me alone
I'm in control
I'm in control
And girls lie too much
And boys act too tough
Enough is enough

Well, on the minds
Of other men
I know she was...

I said, "Just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Oh, just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Oh, take it"

That's right

Oh, he's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
He's gonna break your back for a chance
He's gonna steal your friends if he can
He's gonna win someday

I fell off the track, now
I can't go back
I'm not like that

Boys lie too much
Girls act too tough
Enough is enough

Well on the minds
Of other girls
I know he was...

I said, "Just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Oh, just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Oh, take it"

That's right

Oh, he's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
He's gonna break your back for a chance
He's gonna steal your friends if he can
He's gonna win someday

Oh, he will...

.Up from the pastures of boredom
out from the sea of discontent
they come in packs like hungry hounds
the seekers of the dark enchantment.

They haunt the boulevards and bars
they pray to wishing wells and stars
they ride the hurricane of hope
not looking back but on they go
toward the distance and deceiving
and all the while they keep believing
they are special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the hear, the lovers.

And when they pair off two by two
they feel they are the chosen few
and though their beds are made of straw
they feel like velvet in the night
and so the night is never ending
it’s made of distance and pretending
coz they’re special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart, the lovers.

And when love goes away
and when love goes
goodbye
catches in their throats like cotton
rises in their hearts like rain
the good times suddenly are all forgotten
the hunt begins again.

They search the subways and the streets
their faces tired, like their feet
their bodies aching to be warm
and so they hide behind the moon
their loneliness inside them growing
but they take comfort in just knowing
that they are special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart
the lovers

And when love comes again
and when love comes
hello
rises from their throats like singing
catches in their hearts like wind
the good things
strangers in their arms are bringing
makes life all right again.

They turn their faces to the light
no longer hiding in the night
so unashamed and unafraid
that they can face each other’s faults
and though the waltz will have its ending
there is no harm in just pretending
that they are special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart
the lovers.

Sketchead
He's coming to your party
He's walking up your drive
And he's swinging all his keys round
Sketchead
He's seen you with your top off
He already knows your boyfriend
retain your introductions
Sketchead
That cunts a protagonist
The pips in your quince
They are behind the spoil
The itch you can't itch in your ear
And the knock that shattered your packet of peppermints

Sketchead
There's poison in his spit
He'll compliment your tits
And leave you to your wits
Sketchead
Convincingly insisting the tyres were bald
when you gave him the car
Sketchead
Still coming to your party
Still walking up your drive
And still swinging all his keys round on his finger
As a pendulum to un nerve

And then there's you
You've changed
I approach you like you were the same
But soon it was apparent a new name was required
New lips went and fired accomplishments at me
While I'm captivated by your magazine skin
The tint on your limbs is obscures to begin
And you know full well
That anyone who says that
They don't prefer the sequel
Will still be swinging on themselves tonight

Under constant correction, a fraud, a fraud,
Someone's perception, trying not to bore
I'm a cold-hearted kidda, applaud, applaud
If you're the highest bidder, I'm yours

You figure out pathetic sets
We're not sure of the etiquette
We think out pathetic sets
We're not sure of the etiquette

And if you found this it's probably too late
Clinically cynical, hereditary hate
If you found this it's probably too late
Approaching the pinnacle and running out of mates

If we concentrate on being off the cuff
Not sure we're ready but probably rough
Frightened that honesty isn't enough
And it's nothing on the early stuff

ПЕРЕВОД

При постоянной коррекции, мошенничестве, обмане,
Чье-то восприятие старается не надоесть.
Я бессердечный малыш, аплодирую, аплодирую,
Если вы - наивысшая цена, я ваш...

Вы выясняем жалкие наборы,
Мы не уверены в этикете.
Мы считаем, жалкие наборы...
Мы не уверены в этикете.

И если ты нашел это, вероятно, слишком поздно,
Клинически циничную, наследственную ненависть.
Если ты нашел это, вероятно, слишком поздно,
Подходи к вершине, и закончи с друзьями.

Если мы сосредоточимся на время экспромтом,
Не уверен, что мы готовы, но, вероятно, грубо.
Испугавшись, что честности не хватит,
И это ничего на ранних вещах...

I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
Breathing in your dust
I wanna be your Ford Cortina
I will never rust
If you like your coffee hot
Let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots babe
I just wanna be yours

Secrets I have held in my heart
Are harder to hide than I thought
Maybe I just wanna be yours
I wanna be yours
I wanna be yours

Let me be your 'leccy meter
And I'll never run out
Let me be the portable heater
That you’ll get cold without
I wanna be your setting lotion
Hold your hair in deep devotion
At least as deep as the Pacific Ocean
I wanna be yours

I wrote I was here, IDST

Swinging from room to room, planting something new
I've ridden the riddle and I do it again
Back to the Wirral where it all began, Wirral riddler

Send a letter to me, baby, I'm on the edge of my seat
Send a letter to me, baby, little illusion machine

Riding through the gloom, something beautiful
He's ridden the riddle, he'll do it again
He's going back to the Wirral where it all began, Wirral riddler

Send a letter to me, baby, I'm on the edge of my seat
Send a letter to me, baby, little illusion machine
I tried it and I liked it but, it just never gets close enough
Send a letter to me, baby

(Wirral) So tell me, where have you been?
(Wirral) Little illusion machine
(Wirral) Hoping tonight is gonna send me back to you, wow!

ПЕРЕВОД

Бегая туда-сюда по комнатам, я заложил что-то новое.
Я прокатился по загадке, и я сделал это снова,
Возвращайся в Виррал, где всё началось, загадка Виррала.

Пошли мне письмо, детка, я на краю своего стула,
Пошли мне письмо, детка, ты же маленькая иллюзия.

Проезжая сквозь мрак, он увидел что-то красивое...
Он прокатился по загадке, и он сделал это снова,
Он вернётся в Виррал, где всё это началось, загадка Виррала.

Пошли мне письмо, детка, я на краю своего стула,
Пошли мне письмо, детка, ты же маленькая иллюзия.
Я попробовал это, было клёво, но близко мы не познакомились,
Пошли мне письмо, детка.

(Виррал) Так скажи мне, где ты была?
(Виррал) Ты же маленькая иллюзия...
(Виррал) Надеюсь, я сегодня приеду к тебе, вау!

Leave me alone
I'm in control
I'm in control
And girls lie too much
And boys act too tough
Enough is enough

Well, on the minds
Of other men
I know she was...

I said, "Just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Oh, just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it
Oh, take it"

That's right

Oh, he's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
He's gonna break your back for a chance
He's gonna steal your friends if he can
He's gonna win someday

I fell off the track, now
I can't go back
I'm not like that

Boys lie too much
Girls act too tough
Enough is enough

Well on the minds
Of other girls

I said, "Just take it or leave it
And take it or leave it

That's right

Oh, he's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
He's gonna let you down
He's gonna break your back for a chance
He's gonna steal your friends if he can
He's gonna win someday

Oh, he will...

She's the victim, well fuck all that we ain't goin home today
And she's been too much magic beans to walk all men away
And she's been eatin' too much magic beans to walk all men away
Put up your picture and the playful love will get around
Yeah but we'll get around yeah
Yeah but we'll get around

Well everyones felling alright
I won't be sleeping today
No I won't be sleeping tonight

We're felling silly, I'm feeling oh so sick
And I can't see you through the smoke because the clouds so thick
And theres a fire as your dancing to the disco sound
Put up your picture baby and love will get around
Yeah but we'll get around yeah
But yeah we'll get around

Everyone's feeling alright
I won't be sleeping today
And I won't be sleeping tonight

The mixture between,
The fantastic dream,
And the fear,
You wonder where she is,
This afternoon.

And does it get on your nerves,
Make you slightly perturbed,
That there's things that you don't know about her?
And even the places that she's never been with yer, seem awful empty without her.

You can't look into those eyes,
Down no telephone line,
What if you were right first time? x2

The mixture between,
The fantastic dream,
And the fear,
You wonder where she is,
This afternoon.

You can't look into those eyes,
Down no telephone line,
What if you were right first time?

Thought I saw you in the battleship
But it was only a look a like
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
When I asked her if I could call her your name

I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
Huddled up in wicker chair
I wandered up for a closer look
And kissed who ever was sitting there

She was close, and she held me very tightly
Till I asked awfully politely, please
Can I call you her name

And I elongated my lift home,
Yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself

I thought I saw you in the parrots beak
Messing with the smoke alarm
It was too loud for me to hear her speak
And she had a broken arm

It was close, so close that the walls were wet
And she wrote it out in letraset
No you can't call me her name

Tell me where's your hiding place
I'm worried I'll forget your face
And I've asked everyone
And I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along

I elongated my lift home
Yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
And kept my shortcuts to myself

I saw your sister in the cornerstone
On the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
She said I'm really not supposed to but yes,
You can call me anything you want

In this room of darkness I ain't undercover,
That won't stop my prowess
Rubbing off onto another,
Elevating higher as my body's moving lower,
Now I've reached my element
You better move over oh

But he doesn't, he blocks my way
I try to push past but he wants to play
So I sip his drink as I hold his gaze
Ooh

As we erupt into the room
And feel the sub go boom,
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon,
So I sink into the tune
As I inhale the fume,
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon

My limbs seem to move
What the beat dictates to me,
I push in to the middle,
The sound becomes a part of me
Taking me back to that sweet familiarity,
Watching my adrenalin rise, I feel the eyes on me

Sip the bottle now, don't be slow
Keep up with me as we lose control,
Keep up with me as we lose control

As we erupt into the room
And hear the sub go boom,
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon,
Sink into the tune
As I inhale the fume,
A feeling easy to resume

So who's that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She don't do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
That he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences

And I've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
They're all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!

Although you're trying not to listen
I bet your eyes are staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
Sorry love I'll have to turn you down

And oh he must be up to something
Want half a chance to show he's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be
What his story might be

They said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around

And look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous
And he don't have to say 'owt
She understands she's here to get picked up

And she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
She don't stop in the winter, no and...

They said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here

They said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around here

What a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
I hope you're not involved at all

The mirror's image tells me it's home time
But I'm not finished 'cause you're not by my side
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving, carrying your shoes
Decided that once again I was just dreaming of bumping into you

Now it's three in the morning
And I'm trying to change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
And to my message, you reply

Why'd you only call me when you're high?
High, why'd you only call me when you're high?

Somewhere darker, talking the same shite
I need a partner (high), well, are you out tonight?
It's harder and harder to get you to listen, more I get through the gears
Incapable of making alright decisions and having bad ideas

Now it's three in the morning
And I'm trying to change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
And to my message, you reply (message, you reply)

Why'd you only call me when you're high?
(Why'd you only call me when you're)
High, why'd you only call me when you're high?

And I can't see you here, wondering where I might
It sorta feels like I'm running out of time
I haven't found what I was hoping to find

You said you gotta be up in the morning, gonna have an early night
And you're starting to bore me, baby, why'd you only call me when you're high?

Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're high?
Why'd you only ever phone me when you're
High?

Fools on parade
Cavort and carry on
For waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she’s never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares

She swam out of tonight’s phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There's absolutely nothing for us here
It's a magnolia celebration to be attempted on a Wednesday night
It's better than to get a reputation for miserable little tyke
At least that’s the conclusion you/she (he’s said both) came to in this overture

The secret door swings behind us
She’s saying nothing
She’s just giggling along

Her arms were folded most indignant
Not looking like she was soon to leave
I had to squint in order to believe
?? And then like a pull and push in on a bookshelf ??
I'm unveiling the unexpected
How he was ever gonna look to her
Should've been embarrassed and corrected
How could such a creature survive in such a habitat

The secret door swings behind us
She's saying nothing
She's just giggling along
And even if they were to find us
I wouldn't notice, I'm completely occupied

At all the fools on parade
Cavort and carry on
For waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she’s never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
Fools on parade
Frolic and fuck about to make her gaze
Turn to a scribble on a page by a picture
That holds her options
But you’re daft to think she'd care

Fools on parade
Fools on parade
Fools on parade conduct a sing-along

The mirror's image tells me it's home time
But I'm not finished 'cause you're not by my side
And as I arrived I thought I saw you leaving, carrying your shoes
Decided that once again I was just dreaming of bumping into you

Now it's three in the morning
And I'm trying to change your mind
Left you multiple missed calls
And to my message, you reply

Why'd you only call me when you're high?
High, why'd you only call me when you're high?

Mad sounds in your ears make you feel alright
They’ll bring you back to life
Mad sounds in your ears
They make you get up and dance
Make you get up
Yeah they make you get up

Love buckles under the strain of those wild nights
Run but you cannot hide
Mad sounds in you ears
They make you get up and dance
Make you get up
All night long they reappear
Make you get up and dance
Yeah they make you get up

Suppose you’ve got up to what you gotta do
We just weren’t feeling how we wanted to
You sit and try sometimes but you just can’t figure out what went wrong
And outta nowhere somebody comes and hits you with an

Ooh, la la la
Ooh, la la la
Ooh, la la la, ooh
Ooh, la la la
Ooh, la la la
Ooh, la la la, ooh

You got those mad sounds in your ears
They make you get up and dance
Mad sounds in your ears
They make you get up and dance

Don’t they make you get up
Don’t they make you get up

Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
You say why did you do it with him today?
And sniff me out like I was Tanqueray

Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear me down like roger moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy,
He’s in the place, but I cant get joy,
Thinking of you in the final throws, this is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet your chicks and bitter
You say when we're married cause youre not bitter
There'll be none of him no more
I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reunion, jamaica and spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub youre on the seat
Lick your lips while I soak my feet

Then you notice lickle carpet burn
My stomach drops and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
To truly stuck the knife in first

I cheated myself like I knew I would
I told ya I was trouble, you know that I'm no good
I cheated myself, like I knew I would
I told ya I was troubled, yeah ya know that I'm no good

Your love is like a studded leather headlock
Your kiss it could put creases in the road
You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock
And those other girls are just post-mix lemonade

Suck it and see
You never know
Sit next to me
Before I go

Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes
Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for you

I poured my aching heart into a pop song
I couldn't get the hang of poetry
That's not a skirt girl, that's a sawn-off shotgun
And I can only hoped you've got it aimed at me

Suck it and see
You never know
Sit next to me
Before I go

Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes
Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for...

Blue girls from once a upon a Shangri-La
How I often wonder where you are
You have got that face that just says
'Baby, I was made to break your heart'

Suck it and see
You never know
Sit next to me
Before I go

Go...
Go...
Go...

Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes
Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for you

I got my eyes on you, you're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you, you left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

[Hook]
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on, we're going home
Just hold on, we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on, we're going home

[Verse + Hook]

[Bridge: Majid Jordan]
You're the girl, you're the one
Gave you everything I loved
I think there's something, baby
I think there's something, baby

So you're on the prowl wondering whether she left already or not
Ты пытаешься ненароком выяснить, ушла она или нет.
Leather jacket, collar popped like antenna
Кожаная куртка, воротник поднят.
Never knowing when to stop
Не знаешь, когда остановиться:
Sunglasses indoors, par for the course
Солнечные очки в помещении - в порядке вещей.
Lights in the floors and sweat on the walls
Свет на танцполе, испарина на стенах,
Cages and poles
Помосты и шесты.

Call off the search for your soul, or put it on hold again
Брось искать свою вторую половинку или повремени с этим.
She's having a sly indoor smoke
Она украдкой курит внутри,
And she calls the folks who run this her oldest friends
Владельцы клуба - её старые друзья.
Sipping a drink and laughing at imaginary jokes
Она поцеживает коктейль и смеётся над воображаемыми шутками.
As all the signals are sent, her eyes invite you to approach
Подав необходимые сигналы, она зазывает тебя глазами,
And it seems as though those lumps in your throat
И у тебя словно комок в горле,
That you just swallowed the gut of going
Ты глубоко запрятал (1) смелость подойти к ней...

Come on, come on, come on
Давай, вперед!
Come on, come on, come on
Давай, вперед -
Number one party anthem
Первая заповедь вечеринки.

She's a certified mind blower,
Она мастер крышесноса,
Knowing full well that I don't
Прекрасно зная, что ты не такой.
May suggest there's somewhere
Можешь предположить, что вы уже
From which you might know her
Где-то встречались -
Just to get the ball to roll
Просто чтобы начать разговор.
Drunken monologues, confused because
Хмельной монолог, ты запутался:
It's not like I'm falling in love
Не то чтобы ты влюбился,
I just want you to do me no good
Просто ты хочешь, чтобы она была тебе параллельна,
And you look like you could
Но, похоже, всё может быть иначе...

Come on, come on, come on
Давай, вперед!
Come on, come on, come on
Давай, вперед -
Number one party anthem
Первая заповедь вечеринки.

Come on, come on, come on
Давай, вперед,
Before the moment's gone
Пока не упустил момент -
Number one party anthem
Первая заповедь вечеринки.

The look of love - the rush of blood
Влюблённый взгляд - тебя бросает в жар.
The "She's with me" - the Gallic shrug
"Она со мной" - ты только разводишь руками.
The shutterbugs - the Camera Plus
Папарацци фоткают на мобильники,
The black and white - the colour dodge
Черно-белое становится цветным.
The good time girl - the cubicles
Девочка, с которой приятно провести время в кабинке туалета.
The house of fun - the number one party anthem
Веселитесь - первая заповедь вечеринки.

Come on, come on, come on
Давай, вперед!
Come on, come on, come on
Давай, вперед!
Come on, come on, come on
Давай, вперед!

Come on, come on, come on
Давай, вперед,
Before the moment's gone
Пока не упустил момент -
Number one party anthem
Первая заповедь вечеринки,
Number one party anthem
Первая заповедь вечеринки,
Number one party anthem
Первая заповедь вечеринки.

Lady, Where's your love gone
I was looking but can't find it anywhere
They always offer when there's
Loads of love around
But when your short of some
It's nowhere to be found

Well i know your game
You told him yesterday
No chance you'll get nothing from me
But now she's there, you're there and
Everybody's there
He's in turmoil, as puzzled as can be
Just like me

Let's go down, down, low down
Where i know i should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But she's just one in twenty-four

And just coz' everybodys doing it
Does that mean that i can too?

Lady, where has your love gone
It was the antiseptic to the sore
To hold you by the hand
Must be first be in demand
How he longs for you to
Long for him once more
Just once more

Let's go down, down, low down
Where i know i should not go
Oh and she thinks she's the one
But shes just one in twenty-four

And just coz' everybodys doing it
Does that mean that i can too?

Ohh, her eyes went down
And cut you up
And theres nothing like a dirty look from
The one you want
Or the one you lost

An ache in your soul
Is everybody's goal
To get what they can't have
That's why your after her
And that's why she's after him
But saying it won't change a thing

And don't realize that it won't change a thing
Realize it won't change a thing

Ladies you're damn right
You can't read a man's mind
We're living in two tribes
And heading for war
Nobodys perfect
We've all gotta work it
But fellas we're worth it
So don't break the law

Your calls late, big mistake
You've gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take
Next time, read my mind and I'll be good to you
We're gift-wrapped kitty kats
We're only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back
Yeah lets go, Eskimo
Out into the blue

Come take my hand, understand that you can
You're my man and I need you tonight
Come make my dreams, honey hard as it seems
Loving me is as easy as pie (aii)

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
And I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
'Stead of this negligee
What will the neighbours say
This time

I've been going crazy while you sleep
Searching for a language that the two of us can speak
So mister prehistoric make your wheel
And I'll breathe underwater cos I like the way it feels

Your calls late, big mistake
You've gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take
Next time, read my mind and I'll be good to you
We're gift-wrapped kitty kats
We're only turning into tigers when we gotta fight back
Yeah lets go, Eskimo
Out into the blue

Come take my hand, understand that you can
You're my man and I need you tonight
Come make my dreams, honey hard as it seems
Loving me is as easy as pie (aii)

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
And I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
'Stead of this negligee
What will the neighbours say
This time

(Oh) It's very new
Can anybody tell me what to do?
(Oh) This feeling's very strange
Can anybody tell me what's you're game?

(Oh) A little education
(Oh) To kick your motivation
(Oh) We'll turn the situation (round)
(Oh) Cos I don't wanna change ya
(Oh) Making you a stranger
(Oh) I'll only re-arrange ya (for now)

(Oh) I'm just a Love Machine
(0h) To kick your motivation
(Oh) I'm just a Love Machine
(Ooo Ooo)

Try and think of something colourful for this season
Pull the wool over the gullible for no reason
You are all i have these days, shake it up and run away
With the night squabbling behind you

From the smoke in your hair to the blood in the bruise
and the bows on the shoes you kicked off
I'm joining the dots.
I'm joining the dots.

Thought I heard them talking in their sleep yesterday
And I tried but I just can't believe a thing they say
Hurry up they'll be here soon, sleeping in the afternoon
While the rain's trying to prove a point outside

From the smoke in your hair to the blood in the bruise
and the bows on the shoes you kicked off
I'm joining the dots.
I'm joining the dots.
I'm joining the dots.

Those people make me calm, calm the flame
Come up to the mouth for a change
And darling if it's all the same to you, I'll have you to myself
I'm joining the dots.
I'm joining the dots.

Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you can’t shift the tide that sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Hide some aces up your sleeve
Have you no idea that you’re in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
Cause there’s this tune I’ve found that makes me think of you somehow
And I play it on repeat until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)

Sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few?
Cause I always do
Maybe I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through
Crawling back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your heart’s still open, and if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I’m sorry to interrupt
It’s just I’m constantly on the cusp of trying to kiss you
But I dunno if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

Crawling back to you
Ever thought of calling when you’ve had a few?
Cause I always do
Maybe I’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I’ve thought it through
Crawling back to you

(Do I wanna know?)
If this feeling flows both ways
(Sad to see you go)
Was sorta hoping that you’d stay
(Baby we both know)
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that you can’t say tomorrow day

(Do I wanna know?)
Too busy being yours to fall
(Sad to see you go)
Ever thought of calling darling?
(Do I wanna know?)
Do you want me crawling back to you?

Break a mirror, roll the dice
Run with scissors through a chip pan firefight
Go into business with a grizzly bear
But just don’t sit down cause i’ve moved your chair

Find a well known hard man and start a fight
Wear your shell suit on bonfire night
Fitting a circular hole
With a peg that’s square
But just don’t sit down cause I’ve moved your chair

Oooh yeah yeah yeah

Bite the lightning
And tell me how it tastes
Kung fu fighting on your roller skates
Do the macarena in the devil’s lair
But just don’t sit down cause I’ve moved your chair

Oooh yeah yeah yeah

I heard the truth was built to bend
A mechanism to suspend the guilt
Is what you are requiring still
You've got to dance little liar

Just like those fibbs that pop and fizz
And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz
And you're bound to trip
And she'll detect the fiction on
Your lips and dig a contradiction up

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt beneath the dirt
The liar take a lot less time

I'm sure it's clear and plain to me
Its not an alibi you need just yet
Oh no it's something for those beads of sweat
Yes that we'll get you back to normal

And after you have dabbed the patch you'll grieve
And then proceed to scratch the varnish off
That newly added calmness
So as not to raise any alarms too soon

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt beneath the dirt

The liar takes a lot less

Time to decide on his saunter
Have you got itchy bones
And in all your time alone
Can you hack your mind being riddled
with the wrong memories

And the clean coming will hurt
And you can never get it spotless
When there's dirt between the dirt

I wish you would have smiled in the bakery
or sat on a tatty seatee
at a mutual friends gathering

and the more you keep on looking
the more it's hard to take
love we're in stalemate
to never meet is surely where we're bound
there's one in every town
just there to grind you down

I wish I would have seen you in the post office
well maybe I did and I missed it
too busy with the mind on clever lines

why not the rounders pitch or the canteen
you're slacking love were have you been?
just have to go and wait until tonight

to give me the invite
don't worry it's alright

I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade
sippin' on a lemonade
in the paper cup and chewin on a straw

and I wish I would have seen you in the bakery
but if I'd seen you in the bakery
you probably wouldn't have seen me

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything's in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
That Bloody Mary's lacking a Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

Oh that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Not as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up...

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she tells she's gonna get it
I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget i
Clinging to not getting sentimental
Said she wasn't going but she went still
Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle
Was it a Mecca Dobber or a betting pencil?

Oh that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren't as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up
Oh, where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go? Woah.

Falling about
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
You just sounded it out
You're not coming back again.

Falling about
You took a left off Last Laugh Lane
You just sounded it out
You're not coming back again.

You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Started all the naughty nights with niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything's in order in a black hole
Everything was pretty in the past though
That Bloody Mary's lacking in tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

In this room of darkness I ain't undercover,
That won't stop my prowess
Rubbing off onto another,
Elevating higher as my body's moving lower,
Now I've reached my element
You better move over oh

But he doesn't, he blocks my way
I try to push past but he wants to play
So I sip his drink as I hold his gaze
Ooh

When we erupt into the room
And hear the sub go boom,
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon,
So I sink into the tune
As I inhale the fume,
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon

(This right here I swear will end too soon)

My limbs seem to move
What the beat dictates to me,
I push in to the middle,
The sound becomes a part of me
Taking me back to that sweet familiarity,
Making my adrenalin rise, I feel the eyes on me

Sip the bottle now, don't be slow
Keep up with me as we lose control,
Keep up with me as we lose control

When we erupt into the room
And hear the sub go boom,
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon,
So I sink into the tune
As I inhale the fume,
A feeling easy to resume
This right here I swear will end too soon

I got my eyes on you, you're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you, you left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

[Hook]
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on, we're going home
Just hold on, we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on, we're going home

[Verse + Hook]

[Bridge: Majid Jordan]
You're the girl, you're the one
Gave you everything I loved
I think there's something, baby
I think there's something, baby

Get out the way, mister
With your short sharp tips
No, I won't read your lips right now
And baby, hey
You send a shiver down my spine
But do you read my mind
Do you...
And you're looking pretty suspicious
And probably planning a heist
He's wanting to go to the strippers
It makes him feel all nice

(Cigarette smoke yeah)
The cigarette smoke in your eyes
Watching a stripper and
(Smacking a bloke yeah)
Smacking a bloke here tonight

Get out me way, mister
With your short sharp tips
No, I won't read your lips right now
And baby, hey
You send a shiver down my spine
But do you read my mind
Do you...

He's prob'ly got stopped by a panda
For speeding on his way there
a formal flashing of digital cameras
From tourists in trafalgar square

(Cigarette smoke yeah)
The cigarette smoke in your eyes
Watching a stripper and
(Snortin' some coke yeah)
Snortin' some coke off her thighs
Bla-bla-bla-bla-bla-bla...

(Cigarette smoke yeah)
The cigarette smoke in your eyes
Watching a stripper and
(Smacking a bloke yeah)
Smacking a bloke here tonight
And I just can't see for the
(Cigarette smoke yeah)
The cigarette smoke in your eyes
Watching a stripper and
(Snortin' some coke yeah)
Snortin' some coke off her thighs
Lalalalalala laaaaaaaoooo
Oww

In a foreign place, the saving grace was the feeling,
That it was a heart that he was stealing,
Oh he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement,
The eyes are bright he couldnt wait to get away,
I bet the juliet was just the icing on the cake,
Make no mistake no,

And even if somehow we could have shown you the place you wanted,

Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own,
And I bet she told a million people that she'd stay in touch,
Well all the little promises they dont mean much,
When theres memories to be made,
And I hope you're holding hands by new years eve,
They made it far too easy to believe,
That true romance cant be acheived these days,

And even if somebody could have shown you the place you wanted,
Well I sure you could have made it that bit better on your own,
You are the only ones who know

Tell me where you've been to point me to the door
I've seen you around but I really can't be sure
And all the hatchet men are busy climbing up the wall
Banging on the window tearing down the hall

And the last chance girl in a first dance swirl
Leans her head down on the wooden floor
Won't be dancing anymore

And where do they go when the thrills have gone?
And the last song plays down at babylon
Five hundred kids shout what's the deal?
It's a very confusing way to feel

The radion is silent except for wicked bands
Sounding like the last one always in demand
And now the city is off limits to everyone in blue
Nothings getting in there no one's getting through

And it's no surprise when the last light dies
And the girl upon the wooden floor
Won't be dancing anymore

And where do they go when the thrills have gone?
And the last song plays down at babylon
Five hundred kids shout what's the deal?
It's a very confusing way to feel

Ladies you're damn right
You can't read a man's mind
We're living in two tribes
And heading for war
Nobody's perfect
We've all got to work it
But fellas we're worth it
So don't break the law

Your call's late
Big mistake
You've gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take
Next time
Read my mind
And I'll be good to you
We're gift wrapped
Kitty cats
We only turn into tigers when we've got to fight
(Right)
Let's go
Eskimo
Out into the blue

Come take my hand
Understand
That you can
You're my man
And i need you tonight
Come make my dreams
Honey hard as it seems
Lovin' me
Is as easy as pie

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
and I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
Instead of this negligee
What will the neighbors say
This time

I've been goin' crazy while you sleep
Thinkin' of a language that the two of us can speak
So Mr. Prehistoric make your wheel
and I'll be underwater 'cause i like the way it feels

(I said) Your call's late
Big mistake
You've gotta hang about in limbo for as long as I take
Next time
Read my mind
And I'll be good to you
We're gift wrapped
Kitty cats
We only turn into tigers when we've got to fight
(Right)
Let's go
Eskimo
Out into the blue

Come take my hand
Understand
That you can
You're my man
And i need you tonight
Come make my dreams
Honey hard as it seems
Lovin' me
Is as easy as pie

I'm just a love machine
Feeding my fantasy
Give me a kiss or three
And I'm fine
I need a squeeze a day
Instead of this negligee
What will the neighbors say
This time

Oh
It's very new
Can anybody tell me what to do
Oh
This feeling's very strange
Can anybody tell me what's your game

Oh
A little education
Oh
To give me motivation
Oh
We'll turn the situation
'round

Oh
Oh
Making you a stranger
Oh
I'll only rearrange you
For now

(Oh) I'm just a love machine
Oh
So give me motivation
(Oh) I'm just a love machine

(Oh) I'm just a love machine
Oh
So give me motivation
(Oh) I'm just a love machine

So up rolls a riot van,
And sparks excitement in the boys,
But the policemen look annoyed.
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid.

Got a chase last night.
From men with truncheons dressed in hats.
We didn't do that much wrong
Still ran away though for the laugh
Just for the laugh...

And please just stop talking
Cause they won't find us if you do
Oh those silly boys in blue
Well they won't catch me and you

"Have you been drinking, son
You don't look old enough to me".
"I'm sorry, officer,
Is there a certain age you're supposed to be.
Cause nobody told me".

And up rolls the riot van
And these lads just wind the coppers up
They ask why they don't catch proper crooks
They get their address and their names took
But they couldn't care less

Got thrown in a riot van,
And all the coppers kicked him in,
And there was no way he could win,
Just had to take it on the chin.

Mad sounds in your ears
Make you feel alright
They’ll bring you back to life
Mad sounds in your ears
Make you get up and down, make you get up

Love I’ll never stray on those wild nights
Run but you can not escape
Make you get up and down, make you get up
All night long and reappear to make up and down
Yeah they make you get up

Some days we go to watch you
We just don’t feel how we want to
You shouldn’t try some times
But you just can’t figure out what went wrong
But out of nowhere, somebody comes and hits with a uh la la la
uh la la la
uh la la la, uh
uh la la la
uh la la la
uh la la la, uh
You got mad sounds in your ear
to make you feel overwhelmed
Mad sounds in your ear
To make overwhelmed
Make you get over

In a foreign place, the saving grace was the feeling,
That it was a heart that he was stealing,
Oh he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement,
The eyes are bright he couldnt wait to get away,
I bet the juliet was just the icing on the cake,
Make no mistake no,

And even if somehow we could have shown you the place you wanted,

Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own,
And I bet she told a million people that she'd stay in touch,
Well all the little promises they dont mean much,

And I hope you're holding hands by new years eve,
They made it far too easy to believe,
That true romance cant be acheived these days,

And even if somebody could have shown you the place you wanted,
Well I sure you could have made it that bit better on your own,
You are the only ones who know

Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard
Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt
You say why did you do it with him today?
And sniff me out like I was Tanqueray

Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear me down like roger moore

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was troubled
You know that I'm no good

Upstairs in bed, with my ex boy,
He's in the place, but I cant get joy,
Thinking of you in the final throws, this is when my buzzer goes

Run out to meet your chicks and bitter
You say when we're married cause youre not bitter
There'll be none of him no more
I cried for you on the kitchen floor

I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told ya, I was troubled
You know that I'm no good

Sweet reUNIОN, jamaica and spain
Were like how we were again
I'm in the tub youre on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet

Then you notice lickle carpet burn
My stomach drops and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
To truly stuck the knife in first

I cheated myself like I knew I would
I told ya I was troubled, you know that I'm no good
I cheated myself, like I knew I would
I told ya I was troubled, yeah ya know that I'm no good

[Verse 1]
You got the lights on in the afternoon
And the nights are drawn out long
And you’re kissing to cut through the gloom
With a cough drop coloured tongue

And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
And I thought you might be mine
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
In the right place and time

[Chorus]
When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks

[Verse 2]
Well you cured my January blues
Yeah you made it all alright
I got a feeling I might have lit the very fuse
That you were trying not to light
You were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew
‘Cause I had nothing to lose
When the winter’s in full swing and your dreams just aren’t coming true
Ain’t it funny what you’ll do

[Chorus]
The late afternoon
The ghost in your room that you always thought didn’t approve of you knocking boots
Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot by the scruff of your
Knee socks

[Bridge]
You and me could have been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets
You could Be My Baby
[X4]

[Chorus]
(All the zeros lined up but the number’s blocked when you’ve come undone)
When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
[X2]

Up from the pastures of boredom
out from the sea of discontent
they come in packs
like hungry hounds
the seekers of the dark enchantment.

They haunt the boulevards and bars
they pray to wishing wells and stars
they ride the hurricane of hope
not looking back but on they go
toward the distance and deceiving
and all the while they keep believing
they are special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers.

And when they pair off two by two
they feel they are the chosen few
and though their beds are made of straw
It's feel like velvet in the night
and so the night is never ending
it’s made of distance and pretending
coz they’re special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers.

And when love goes away
and when love goes...
goodbye...
catches in their throats like cotton
rises in their hearts like rain
the good times suddenly are all forgotten
the hunt begins again.

They search the subways and the streets
their faces tired, like their feet
their bodies aching to be warm
and so they hide behind the moon
their loneliness inside them growing
but they take comfort in just knowing
that they are special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers

And when love comes again
and when love comes
hello...
rises from their throats like singing
catches in their hearts like wind
the good things
strangers in their arms are bringing
makes life all right again.

They turn their faces to the light
no longer hiding in the night
so unashamed and unafraid
that they can face each other’s faults
and though the waltz will have its ending
there is no harm in just pretending
that they are special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers

Up from the pastures of boredom

that they are special and apart
the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers.

Have you got colour in your cheeks?

Am Em
Do you ever get the fear that you can't shift the type

Em
that sticks around like summat in your teeth?

C Am
Are there some aces up your sleeve?

Em
Have you no idea that you're in deep?

Em
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week

C Am
How many secrets can you keep?

Em
Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you somehow

Em
And I play it on repeat

C Am
Until I fall asleep

B
Spilling drinks on my settee

PRE - CHORUS

C
Do I wanna know

Am
if this feeling flows both ways?

Em
Sad to see you go

Em
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay

C
Baby we both know

Am
That the nights were mainly made

Em Em
for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

CHORUS

Em
Crawlin' back to you

C Am
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few

Em
Cos I always do

Em C Am
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new

Em
Now I've thought it through

Em
Crawlin' back to you

VERSE 2

C Am
So have you got the guts?

Em
Been wondering if your hearts still open

Em
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts

C Am
Simmer down and pucker up

I'm sorry to interrupt

Em
It's just I'm constantly on the cusp

C Am
Of trying to kiss you

Em
I don't know if you feel the same as I do

C Am
But we could be together

B
if you wanted to

PRE - CHORUS

C
Do I wanna know

Am
if this feeling flows both ways?

Em
Sad to see you go

Em
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay

C
Baby we both know

Am
That the nights were mainly made

Em Em
for saying things that you can't say tomorrow day

CHORUS

Em
Crawlin' back to you

C Am
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few

Em
Cos I always do

Em C Am
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new

Em
Now I've thought it through

Em
Crawlin' back to you

C
Do I wanna know

Was sorta hoping that you'd stay

C
Do I wanna know

Am
Too busy being yours to fall

Em
Sad to see you go

D
Ever thought of calling darling?

C
Do I wanna know

Am Em
Do you want me crawling back to you?

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs,

Stop and wait a sec,
Oh when you look at me like that my darling,
What did you expect,
I probably still adore you with you hand around my neck,
Or I did last time I checked,

Not shy of a spark,
A knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark,
Frightened by the bite though its no harsher than the bark,
Middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start,

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs,

But I crumble completely when you cry,
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye,
Im always just about to go and spoil a suprise,
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon,

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs and a smile

The smiles as she walked in the room have all turned into frowns
Am I too quick to assume that the love is no longer in bloom
The tantrums and the tears play a very different tunes to what they did before
Their heads red raw
And the end doesn't sound like the happiest around
When you sobbed before it felt much more like the product of the squabble
Now there's reason for it to be something more
And there would be
Oh its uncertain weather, the curtain has shut for good
She said "see if it's still raining but I'm not dressed for it, and if you loved me..."
And I interrupt to receive the scowl and stare
But still decided to stop her there

Would it be outrageous to say
We're either shouting or we're shagging locked in tempestuous phase
At least that's how we felt yesterday
The eyes are getting heavier
And whether you're sleep or awake, is a mistery
Would a kiss be too much to ask
When you fit me as sunday's frozen pitch fits the thermos flask
It's a pity
It just hit me we can't go back
To the chest touching on the back

Topless models, doing semaphore
Wave their flags as she walks by and get ignored.
Illuminations, on a rainy day
When she walks her footsteps sing
A reckless serenade

I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Call up to listen to the voice of reason
And got the answering machine

The type of kisses
Where teeth collide
When she laughs the Heavens hum
A stun-gun lullaby

Those twinkling vixens
With the shining spiral eyes
Their hypnosis goes unnoticed
When she's walking by

I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need
Call up to listen to the voice of reason
And got his answering machine
I left my message but did he forget back to me
And now I'm stuck still wondering
How it's meant to be

Singing a reckless serenade
Reckless serenade

Reckless serenade
Reckless serenade

Old yellow bricks,
Love's a risk,
Quite the little Escapoligist
Looked so miffed,
When you wished,
For a thousand places better than this,

You are the fugitive,
But you dont know what you're runnin from,
You cant kid us,
And you couldnt trick anyone,
Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from,

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia,
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?

She wasnt raised by the way,
That the emperor put traps in the cage,
And the days she being dull,
Lead to nights readin beer bottles,

You're such a fugitive,
But you dont know what you're runnin from,
You cant kid us,
And you couldnt trick anyone,
Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from,

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded by nostalgia,
Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?

You're at a loss,
Just because,
It wasnt all that you thought it was,

You are a fugitive but you dont know what you're runnin away from,

She said I want to sleep in the city that never wakes up,
And revel in nostalgia,
I know I said he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up but,
Dorothy was right though
