There's a picture by his first wife on the wall
Stripped floor-boards in the kitchen and the hall
A stain from last week's party on the stairs
No one knows who made it or how it ever got there
They were dancing with children round their legs
Talking business, books and records, art and sex
All things being considered you'd call it a success
You wore your black dress oh-oh oh-oh...

Acrylic Afternoons lyrics
I fell asleep on your sofa and had a dream about a small child in dungarees
Who caught his hands in the doors of the Paris metro.
Then my face cracked open and you were there
You were there dressed in green, saying something obscene.
But that's why I came here in the first place, Oh well that and the tea.

Can I stay here lying under the table together with you now?

On the last night on earth when the horses run free
The scriptures foretell of a party in Hackney
In a dimly lit room crammed with loathing and hate
They’re selling their souls and I just can’t wait

I shrivel inside at the sight of her beauty
I fall to the floor as she’s shaking her booty
The rain makes me shiver; the wind turns me blue

Sitting alone on a cold bar stool,
Your cold, hard eyes make me feel a fool.
Pastel-white features,
High cheek-bones,
Scarlet-blooded lips and deathly tones.

The girl of my nightmares,
Sultry and corpse-like.

Well it happened years ago,
When you lived on Stanhope Road.
We listened to your sister,
When she came home from school,
Cos she was two years older,
And she had boys in her room.
We listened outside and heard her.
Alright.

Now if you can stand,
I would like to take you by the hand, yeah,
And go for a walk,
Past people as they go to work.

Oh, let's get out of this place,
Before they tell us that we've just died.
Move, move quick, you've gotta move.

I'm being followed home, / I'm being followed home,
I don't know what for, / I don't know by whom.
The smell of your dress, / a face in the rain, / the pavement shines wet
in focus again. / Oh... / oh... / oh... / oh. / In a dead seaside town
I tried to change my mind / for a well-balanced view
that was not mine to find. / Heaven knows, all your
stars are on show, they last a lifetime, / and your hands leave their
marks in the sand, they last for ever, / for ever. / It's clear to me:

Would you like to hear
about the things I fear?
About my life, and loves too?
Well why should I tell you?
If I told you a secret
you'd be sure to leak it
You couldn't keep it inside
no matter how hard you tried

I thought that you were joking
When you said “I want to see you
To discuss your contribution
To the future of our nation's heart and soul
Six o'clock, my place, Whitehall”

Well I arrived just after seven
But you said “It doesn't matter”

She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola
She said "fine"
And then in 30 seconds time she said
"I want to live like common people

Tonight's the night
Open your door and I'll come inside
Don't be afraid, it will be alright
I will change your whole life tonight
and you're so beautiful
too beautiful for this dead-end world
I'm taking you to a better place
oh, far away from this stupid race, oh

Oh uh-uh-uh Oh
Hey
Oh now the lonely nights begin
And there is nowhere left to go
But watch my spirit melt away
Down at the D-I-S-C-O
I must have died a thousand times
The next day I was still alive

Well we were born within one hour of each other.
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother.
Your name is Deborah, Deborah.
It never suited ya.
(They said that) when we grew up,
we'd get married, and never split up.
We never dated, although often I thought of it.

I am not Jesus though I have the same initials
I am the man who stays home and does the dishes
And how was your day?
Is that woman still trying to do your head in?
A man told me to beware of 33
He said, it was not an easy time for me
But I'll get through
Even though I've got no miracles to show you

There's not much time for talking
All your friends are going to walk away
If there was time for talking
All too soon you'd be lost for things to say

Don't you know she could break you
Every bone that's inside of you
Then again she might make you

Nadadum dadadada dada da...
Take me down to the river where I would not go before
Through the trees and the rushes to a place we both know
And I'm feeling much younger as I kneel on the ground
Dip my toe in the water of the river where I watched you drown
Nadadum nananana nana na...
Oh when the river ran dry that next year
I could not find your body

The room is cold,
and has been like this for several months.
If I close my eyes,
I can visualise everything in it,
right down, right down to the broken handle on the third drawer down
of the dressing table.
And the world outside this room,
has also assumed a familiar shape,

The room is cold,
And has been like this for several months.
If I close my eyes,
I can visualise everything in it,
Right down, right down to the broken handle on the third drawer down
Of the dressing table.
And the world outside this room,
Has also assumed a familiar shape,

As the signs outside proclaimed, nature sometimes makes mistakes.
Was it the mother or the father to blame, inside the damp grass and tilted tent?
As the signs outside proclaimed, nature sometimes makes mistakes.
Was it the mother or the father to blame, inside the damp grass and tilted tent?
Won't you come with me to the fairground?

Your head will be spinning,
I said your head is your feet.

When his 'n' hers has taken hold.
And your sweatshirts match. Oh you'd better, oh you'd better buy Bold.
You're two of a kind and your pets look the same.
Yeah you're parading the aisles on a Sunday baby, can you remember your name?

And the figurines have taken over the house. And it's a hell of a mess.
And the pictures won't stand straight anymore. Don't they understand that you've given your best?
It looks like it's curtains for you. Just as long as they match with the chairs and the sofa.

Come and play the tunes of glory
Raise your voice in celebration of the days that we have wasted in the cafe
In the station
And learn the meaning of existence in fortnightly enstalments
Come share this golden age with me in my single room apartment
And if it all amounts to nothing
It doesn't matter, these are still our glory days

Well, imagine it's a film & you're the star & pretty
Soon we're coming to the part where you realise that you should give your heart
Oh give your heart to me.
Now the orchestra begins to make a sound
That goes round & round & round & round & round & round & round & round & round again
And we kiss to violins.
Well some sad people might believe in that I guess
but we know better don't we?

Help the aged,
One time they were just like you,
Drinking, smoking cigs and sniffing glue.
Help the aged,
Don't just put them in a home,
Can't have much fun when they're all on their own.
Give a hand, if you can,
Try and help them to unwind.

Here comes your bedtime story
Mum and Dad have sentenced you to life
Don't think twice, it's the only reason I'm alive
I feel alright as long as I don't forget to breathe
Breathe in, breathe in, breathe out
Look at all these buildings houses
I love my life (2x)

I spy a boy, I spy a girl.
I spy the worst place in the world, in the whole world.
Oh you didn't do bad, you made it out, I'm still stuck here oh but I'll get out.
Oh yeah I'll get out.
Can't you see a walks among you seeing through your pretty lives.
Do you think I do these things for real?
I do these things just so I survive. And you know I will survive.
It may look to the untrained eye

Hey,
You can look, you can look just like anyone else
If that's what you want to do.
I,
I could laugh,
I could laugh in your face if I want
Oh, but I'm not going to.
When we met last week on Saturday,

I hate to complain, you know, but then again
I cannot pretend nothing's wrong
Looking at my present situation, the act cannot last for long
Viewed from outside these pursuits I might try
seem possessed of a certain allure
Now they're no longer a source of mystery my faith in them's more unsure

Now the time to play is over

Je suis le roi des fourmis
Misanthrope et petit
Tyrannique et gentil
Pas d'impôts sur la vie
Vision d'un paradis
Dix mille sont mes petits

Tu sais, je me souviens madame

Don't bother saying you're sorry
Why don't you come in
Smoke all my cigarettes again

Every time I get no further
How long has it been
Come on in now wipe your feet on my dreams

No wonder you're looking thin
When all that you live on is lipgloss and cigarettes.
And scraps at the end of the day
When he's given the rest to sommetaeone with long black hair.
All those nights in, making such a mess of the bed.
Oh you never ever want to go home.
And he wants you so you may as well hang around for a while,
call your dad on the phone.

Give me the city
Give me the sea
Give to me everything I need
The future is shining like a giant metal beast
It shines so bright tonight with its legs open wide and love is blind
Falls in love with itself again like it never should the way it always can
and she is mine
But the world is much bigger now

We didn't have no where to live,
We didn't have nowhere to go
'til someone said
I know this place off Burditt Road.
It was on the fifteenth floor,
It had a board across the door.
It took an hour
To pry it off and get inside.

Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits
Raised on a diet of broken biscuits, oh
We don't look the same as you
And we don't do the things you do
But we live around here too, oh really

Mis-shapes, mistakes, misfits
We'd like to go to town but we can't risk it, oh

There's nothing to do so you just stay in bed,
oh poor thing,
why live in the world when you can live in your head?

Mmm when you can go out late from Monday,
till Saturday turns into Sunday,
and now you're back here at Monday,
so we can do it all over again.

You know sometimes...when we're lying together...
And I know you're asleep...I can hear the soft sound of your breathing...
So I get up...and I go to the window...Outside...I can see all the houses...
Curtains shut tight against the night...asleep beneath the roof-tiles...
And as I stand here...I wonder...I wonder how many more times...
I'm gonna come here...I wonder how many more times...I'm gonna lie here...
And most of all...most of all I wonder...I wonder what it means...
I just wanna know what it means...So I woke her...

Come up to my lighthouse for I have something I wish to say
It can wait for a moment; well in fact
it can wait all day
I just wanted to bring you up here so you could have the chance to see
the beauty of this situation that
you could share with me

It may seem strange

I used to try very hard to make friends with everyone on the planet.
I’ve seen you havin’ it, havin’ it yeah
but now you’ve just had it.
Entertainment can sometimes be hard
when the thing that you love
is the same thing that’s holding you down.
This man is dangerous,
he just shed his load on your best party frock.

When you raise your pencil skirt,
like a veil before my eyes,
like the look upon his face as he's zipping up his flies.
Oh I know that you're engaged to him.
Oh but I know that you want something to play with baby.

I'll be around when he's not in town,
I'll show you how you're doing it wrong,

You'd better watch what you're wearing,
If you want him to come round and see you tonight.
He doesn't care what it looks like,
Just as long as it's pink and it's tight.

Oooh, so what should you do?
Should you stop being you?
Just to be how he wants you?

A true blue experience is what you need now
You need to know when and
You need to know how
No sign of an opening unless
You've done it before
Just go up to your room
And practice some more

The trouble with your brother,
he's always sleeping with your mother.
And I know that your sister missed her time again this month.
Am I talking too fast or are you just playing dumb?
If you want I can write it down.
It should matter to you,
cos aren't you the one,
with your razzmatazz and the nights on the town?

Outside the wind is howling
Lashing sheets of cold and cruel rain
Inside the air is fetid
Lying heavy on my beleaguered brain

These things that happen when you're sleeping
Are still there when you're awake
They hide in folds among the bedclothes

The feel of my arm around your waist,
the pale blue nightdress that you wore.
Your hair in braids, your sailor top:
the things I don't see anymore.
You lost your suitcase in my hotel room,
a subway token from your Ma.
The sun reflecting off the water on your face
& the way you drove your car.

Here in the night love takes control. Making me high making me whole.
*I don't know. Oh no, no, no.
No I don't know. No, no, no.
No I don't know.

When I close my eyes I can see you
lowering yourself to my level.
I don't know where you got those clothes, you can take them off if it makes you feel better.

As the sun shines down on the land so her heart is crying for love
And there is no-one there, no-one to hear her voice
and she will sleep alone again tonight
Now the moon is high in the sky
In her room she calls out his name
But he is somewhere else somewhere she cannot see
Oh and the night is dark between them now
"My god, my God, why did he go away?"

I see it's time
For me to take the plunge
Instead of sitting back
Watching everyone
Decisions now
Affect my future days
But are they right or wrong?
Who on earth can say?

I wrote the song two hours before we met.
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet.
Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed.
I could have gone to see a film instead.
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends
Life could have been very different then but

Something changed.

You look just like Sylvia:
Well you look like her to me -
The way she wore her hair then.
Oh, he way she used to be.
I've not seen her for a long time
Though I've heard she's still around.
Her father's living with some girl
Who's a year younger than her.

It's six o'clock, the birds are singing.
I'm wide awake whilst you're still fast asleep.
I went outside, into your garden.
The sun was bright & the air was cool
And as I stood there listening
Well the birds in your garden they all started singing this song
"Take her now. Don't be scared, it's alright.
Oh, come on, touch her inside.

This is our Music from A Bachelors Den
- the sound of loneliness turned up to ten.
A horror soundtrack from a stagnant water - bed it sounds just like this.
This is the sound of someone losing the plot - making out that they're okay when they're not.
You're gonna like it, but not a lot the chorus goes like this:

Oh Baby, here comes the fear again.
The end is near again.

When all should be done and gone,
He comes round again to see,
He can't keep himself away.
He touches her hand and it starts again.
His work is an ugly mess.
He prods and it cries in pain.
He kicks and it starts to scream.
He hurries away when she cannot see.

"There's a light that shines on everything & everyone.
And it shines so bright - brighter even than the sun".
That's what Minnie thinks as she walks to meet her brother,
Who is nearly two years older, on a Saturday night.
He's DJ-ing at some do on the edge of town on the night
That Minnie Timperley died.

It's such a beautiful world, you're such a beautiful girl.

As I lay / down in the bedroom, / there came a sound / from far away.
As I strained / my ears to listen / I could hear / a thin voice say:
"In your heart / there's no emotion, / and your soul,
your soul just dried away.
There's no love, / no love left in your / body;
standing empty forever, / and colder / every day."
So I spent / a night without you, / oh yes, I spent / a night outdoors.
Staring in / to unknown faces, / trying to feel / just like before.

His body loved her
his mind was set on other things
Keep your face out of sight
and your thoughts to yourself
And this went on for several nights
festering in silence, growing in the dark

and this they saw as love

He's in a room
He sees the floor
He sees the wall
He sees the roof
He sees the door
It's nine thirty-eight
So he goes up to the door
and he finds himself in

Ты сама неприступность, ты заводишь меня**.
Назови драму, и я сыграю в ней роль.
Такое чувство, что однажды, будучи подростком, я видел тебя в своём эротическом сне.
Мне нравится, как ты выглядишь***, если ты понимаешь, что я имею в виду.
Я очень сильно хочу этого,
Я хочу этого прямо сейчас.
О, разве ты не видишь, я полностью готов!...
Я видел все киноленты,

You are hardcore, you make me hard.
You name the drama and I'll play the part.
It seems I saw you in some teenage wet dream.
I like your get up if you know what I mean.
I want it bad. I want it now.
Oh can't you see I'm ready now.
I've seen all the pictures,
I've studied them forever.

Without you my life has become a hangover without end.
A movie made for TV:
bad dialogue, bad acting, no interest.
Too long with no story and no sex.
Is it a kind of weakness to miss someone so much?
To wish the day would go away?
Like you did yesterday.
Just like you did yesterday.

Why don't you shut the door,
and close the curtains,
cos you're not going anywhere.
He's coming up the stairs,
and in a moment he'll want to see your underwear.

I couldn't stop it now.
There's no way to get out.

We have made a choice - no we don't want to die
We want to look the future firmly in the eye
Speaking personally I have to say that I
would like to dance again
Yeah, we know that 99 percent is crap
But we're the other 1 percent
What you gonna do about that?
We want something to happen

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I met Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my RAPIER
I said stand and deliver or the devil he may take ya

Oh ring dum a doo dum a da
Wept for my daddy-o
Wept for my daddy-o

When I was with this girl last night
She held me tight; it turned me on
The moon was dark and those clothes were tight
Her perfume strong; it turned me on
Fleeting moments touched in the night
Then so strong but banished by the light
Her presence gone, memories remain
Of how she kissed and turned me on

I never thought that you would come / your sister said your nerve had gone
You're trying to make it straight right now
but I don't think that you know how
Your sister knows / she wears your clothes / she laughs
at all those things you chose
Your sister knows / takes off your clothes
we use your bed for goodness knows / Ow
I left something where I knew you'd find it
