- A Good Thing
Take a message,
Let me know.
Put on her shoes before she goes,
Hazel eyes and auburn hair.
How could she tell it's all for nothing?
Far away from what you want,
Another night to spend alone,
- Action
Drift along
Drift along
Gonna find them
Drift along
Gonna find them
Drift along (repeated)
Need to make is special
- After Hebden
In too close, it's under wood
We can try to make it good
Who could know just what's in store?
Heading home across the moor
So tell me how does it make you feel?
So tell me tell me it's real
- B92
Rock could be so good
But we make it all so rubbishy
Signal's down and the men are searching this quarter
Power's gone and we got no heat and no water
But we're the salmon against the tide
You better get ready when the sounds arrive
- Been So Long
I knew when you
Came 'round here to see me
You'd stay here 'til the morning
Can't stop myself from falling
In love with you
You know we'll never be the same
Been so long
- Carnt Sleep
You know the hurt's so deep
That I can't sleep or eat
And what I'm hoping for
Is to feel your kisses sweet
If we could just talk
Things might be a little more clear
I really need the chance
- Constantly
All day I'm walking in a dream
I think about you constantly
Just like an overflowing stream
Your memory haunts me constantly
Shadows fall and I try to
Drive you from my mind
So you're no longer near to me
- Dream Lover
You're a dream lo-o-o-over,
It's a deep ri-I-I-iver.
And the clock in the hallway,
It goes tick, tick, tickin' away, 'way
Ah, ah.
I, I'm gonna dream a little longer now.
- Etienne Gonna Die
You only call? Well, let's go visit Mr. More.
Your eight hundred, and I'll raise twenty-five hundred bucks.
I can't stand it
South. I'm going south.
South Street Seaport, the man says. Can't stand the heat, you can't stand it.
You want to play cards? The bet is two and a half thou.
The bet? I'll tell you what the bet is. And I'll raise you six thousand dollars.
- Filthy
Hello?
[laughs]
Hello?
Rhyming as i'm coming to the top,
With my back-pack of rhymes
I won't stop.
Every lyric
- Girl VII
I'll run to you now
From somewhere you won't find me
A different place
A different time
Together that summer
We raised some hell, yeah
But I couldn't forget
- Goodnight
(Oooohooohoohooohooohooh)
(Oooohooohoohooohooohooh)
Days over and night must fall
Shadows creeping up the garden wall
Goodnight (goodnight)
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (goodnight)
- He's On The Phone
He's on the phone and she wants to go home
Shoes in hand, don't make a sound, it's time to go
Ooh-ooh, someday (someday), someday
He's on the phone, doesn't want to go home
The hotel life, forget your wife, you're on your own
Academia girl, her life's a gas, she loves the trash inside his world
Can't find his way there, got the cash, feeling flash in Leicester Square, ooh
- Heart Failed
Took a trip down Anita Way
Had to go on the 1st of May
Didn't have much to celebrate
Heart failed in the back of a taxi
Heart failed in the back of a taxi
Get yer kicks all around the world
Give a tip to a geisha girl
- Heather
Heather was a girl who could open her eyes
Heather was a girl who just woke up one night
Heather was a girl who once questioned her life
She comes and she goes like the warmth in the daylight
Oh, just what I wanted
Pictures of Heather, her hair down
Whispers when
So, this house is haunted
- Holiday Song
The Sun comes up, the Sun goes down
Baby, let's take a holiday right now
Right now
Shut down the computer, honey
I've got an idea
Let's pool a little money
- I Threw It All Away
Is there a part of you
Wondering
Where did the whole thing go wrong?
And is there a part of you
Worrying
What if my reason to smile
Is gone?
- I Was Born On Christmas Day
Transcribed by mark dorset and nicola
[intro:]
[laughs] roll the tape!
[sarah:] spent the summer holed up in a room. /
[tim:] looking pretty, won't you be here soon? /
[sarah:] eurodisney, could not work at all /
- Join Our Club
[Incomprehensible]
The chicken soup mix of 'Join our club'
Join our club!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Teen spirit is the '90s scene
I know you want to hold my hand
- Kiss and Make Up
Without beforehand thinking,
sometimes I say things.
I could never hate you.
I could never hate you.
I do not mean one
word of what I say.
I don't hate you.
- Last Orders
Tempers fraying in the Hat And Fan
Gets so hot in there, even in November
Heated words from slicked back hair
It's too small a world for some people to share
Now Gary stares at an empty chair
Told her "five, or ten, and he'd join her out there"
Not again, she's not going in
- Lightning Strikes Twice
Crazy superstitions on my mind
Could they help me get you back for good?
Such a striking combination's gone away
Could I save it if I knock on wood?
Did I have a chance and fail to keep it?
Lose my dream and let it slip away?
Will my destiny remain a secret?
- London Belongs to Me
Took a tube to Camden Town
Walked down Park Way and settled down
In the shade of a willow tree
Someone hovering over me
Close my eyes
Breathe out slowly
Today the sunshine loves me only
- Lonesome
I just found your letter doesn't mean a thing
You said things should be better
For you and me
Hey Baby if you want to leave
I can come as will
(Cleaning?) and change of scene
Bare foot in this world
- Magpie Eyes
September is all go and traffic is so slow
I love you, don't you know?
But memories of holding hands
Get crowded by all of our plans
Not hearing what you say
The highlights of your day
Rose petals blown away
- Mario's Cafe
Cigarette, a cup of tea, a bun... Ooh-ooh-ooh...
Button up your sheepskin Carraway
Rainy cafe, Kentish Town, Tuesday
Barry's looking through the Racing Post
Orders coffee, another round of toast
Lucy writes a letter
She'd like to spend an evening with Prince B
- Milk Bottle Symphony
Tony leaves the depot late
Seventeen years with the Unigate
Drives his float down Goswall Road at twenty-five to eight
Number nine, Mrs Doris Brown
Pulls on her quilted down
Shuts the fridge and boils the kettle
Wipes the table down
- Mr. Donut
Checked-in at the airport half an hour late
Jackie caused a scene, when we reached the gate
"Sorry Mr. Pilot, but you'll have to wait, 'cause
Paul's still in the duty free"
When I'm far from home
You call me on the phone
Tell me everything
- My Christmas Prayer
Oh lord, / the snow is falling /
And the whole world / kneels to pray, /
For tomorrow / brings the dawning /
Of another / christmas day. /
Oh lord, / will you please help me, /
For my baby's / gone astray? /
- New Thing
Our Father, who art in Heaven
Please, stay there
New thing, it's such a new thing
You got me where you want me
You got me where you want me, ooh yeah
New thing, it's such a new thing
- Nothing Can Stop Us
[Annoucement sample:]
"Thankyou, every - come on, give her a proper Liverpool hand, you can do better than that!
And now ladies and gentlemen, what you've been waiting for:"
[sung:] I've come a long way. /
[spoken:] I've come a long, long way since the day you walked into my life.
[sung:] You walked into my life. /
[spoken:] You smoothed out all the rough edges with your sweet love and devotion.
- Oh My
This girl in 23
Could've sworn she was looking at me
What's the sound coming out of her door?
Crazy moves I've never heard before
With a wiggle and a spring in her step
Wearing fancy clothes, you bet
Everybody just stops to stare
Well let 'em stare, she don't care
- Only Love Can Break Your Heart
When you were young
and on your own
How did it feel
to be alone?
I was always thinking
of games that I was playing.
Trying to make
the best of my time.
- Pale Movie
All of his friends have been wondering
Why he spent so long with her
He's so dark and moody
She is his sunshine girl
In the bed where they make love
She's in a film on the sheets
He shows dreams like a movie
- people get real
Get on the floor and look real sexy
Saw you and when I saw you
I thought this is real, this is real
Kissed you and when I kissed you
I whispered forever, forever
I love the way, I love the way you move
- She's the One
She
She's the one
She
She's the one
She's the girl who thinks nothing of
Breaking up two people in love
- Side Streets
The neighborhood that I live in,
I’ve always seen as home.
At certain times at the evening,
It’s like a no-go zone.
Got cash in my pocket to last the weekend.
And I’ve got features I quite like
And don’t mind keeping.
- Slow Down At The Castle
Slow down at the castle
Things to straighten in her head
And she knows it's not a castle
But that's what they've always said
Shaded by the tower
As she clambers to her seat
With the ash of last night's party
- Spring
Dry your eyes, boy, there's no need to be sad
Forget about yesterday and the bad times that you've had
You've loved and lost and now you're feeling so blue
But can't you see it's me who really loves you
With the love I've got you'll forget about her
And find it easy to live without her
It's only springtime, ooh, you're too young to say you're through with love
- Stars Above Us
[Chorus]
Stars above us
Cars below us
Out on the rooftop baby
Stars above us
Cars below us
Nothing can touch us baby
- Stevie
I have adored for so long
And the vibrations are so strong
You make me feel like I belong
And when the Sun goes down so slow
Evening shadows seem to grow
I'm waiting here for you alone
- Stranger In Paradise
Take my hand, / I'm a stranger in paradise. /
All lost in a wonderland, / a stranger in paradise. /
If I stand starry-eyed / that's a danger in paradise /
For mortals who stand / beside an angel like you. /
I saw your face / and I ascended, /
Out of the common place / into the rare. /
- Sun In My Morning
Rays
Of light upon the counterpane
Grace
The dust that settles on the balustrade
I
I'm opening my eyes
To find
- Teenage Winter
[Spoken]
Amy checks the shopping list
Pedal bin, washing up rack, Santex
She goes to the bakers to buy a loaf
Ahh, she keeps forgetting it's changed into the Tropicana Tanning Salon
And in the charity shop
Mrs Brown sits at the counter pricing down some old stock
- The Boy Scouts of America
Like a birthday card from a previous year
The weather in Chayco is sparkling and clear
The girl lies in bed
The boy sit's in the yard
He wants to talk sleep but
He has to keep guard
She stirs from her sleep and
- This Is Radio Etienne
Il n'y a pas de grande foule ce soir, deux mille spectateurs environ. À toute à l'heure.
Inter football, France football. Une emission du Service des Sports présenté par Jacques Vendroux.
Inter football, France football. Présenté en direct du stade de Saint Ouen—que.... non, Saint Étienne!
ПЕРЕВОД
- Through The Winter
You see me waiting by the book store
Standing in the snow
I knew your smile was what I needed
I hope I told you so
I knew my timing could be better
But that's the way it goes
But I believe in you and me
And we can make it through the winter
- Tonight
Check my make-up and check my watch again, I can hardly wait
Play the album and play it all again, I can hardly wait
They say the music press is sent to try us
They say that they're in love with synthesizers
And baby don't you know there'll be surprises tonight, tonight
This could be my life, this could save my life, I can hardly wait
Maybe they'll open with an album track
- Train Drivers In Eyeliner
Can we ask the deputy general if
He could take the mic?
And tell us what he has in
Mind for routes in district nine
I'd like to hear the
Tannoys playing Section 25
We need train drivers in eyeliner
- Unopened Fan Mail
He told me, buy a ring just anything
But I'd much rather be
Waiting around for you look at the sky above
You'll see, my love but I'd much rather be
Taking a different view
'Cause the devil's in the details
DVDs from the good sale of unopened fan mail
- What Kind Of World
What kind of fool do you take me for?
Telling people there could be more
Then say, no way
This is our story, let's get it right
This is our home
But I don't feel at home tonight
Not tonight
- Who Do You Think You Are
Who am I? /
I'm just a girl / who only wants /
to try / to do what's right; /
I'll never make / you cry, /
but you're no good for me, and /
who do you think you are? /
You tried to push me a bit too far, /
and every day sees another scar. /
- Wilson
Would you like some sweets, Willy? Would you like some sweets, Willy?
Would you like some sweets, Willy? Would you like some sweets, Willy?
What would you like then? Would you like some sweets, Willy?
(Can I have, one of these, and one of these, and two of those, please?)
Would you like some sweets, Willy? Would you like some sweets, Willy?
What would you like then? Would you like some sweets, Willy?
(Come on, auntie, we'll miss the bus!)
Would you like some sweets, Willy? Would you like some sweets, Willy?
- Wood Cabin
A redwood tree, the radio, they moved them down the hall
A beauty Queen from Idaho was broken in the fall
Never write a love song, never write a trip hop
Never write a ballad, got to get a grip now
'Cause nothing ever matters if you hide away from it all
In twenty years this place will be just like LA today
- You're In A Bad Way
Toast is burned, / and your coffee’s cold, /
And you leave all the post `cause it’s nothing but bills again. /
Home from work, / put the tv on. /
Get your kicks watching bruce on the old generation game /
Just dial my number, / I’ve got some plans for you. /
You’re in a bad way / and I can help you through. /
You’re in a bad way, / every day is just the same. /
