- Acrylic
Your just like plasticine being molded into a libertine dreamer
I feel so sorry for you
If you were 13 I’d let you off but your not you should know better
Gather my thoughts on a notepad with a parker pen and id write you a letter but,
Theres not enough paper in the world
Theres not enough paper in the world have you heard all your friends go
All the words they seem to know
- Aftershow
The walk home from barbecue is so very long when i'm walkin with you
The sun is coming up, coming to light that me and you were never that tight
And then you stand there with your old botfriend
and message after message, and you can send, send, send
You Know i will definitely ignore them all
You're having a shit night, well i'm having a ball
- Are You In Love With A Notion
Run away from this God forsaken place
And hide away from everybody's prying face
You told Deborah that he is the one
You're going to quit Debenhams
Elope and get married in the sun
Have you really thought this through?
Is he really the one for you?
- Bide Your Time
The temptation is all too great,
To know it's gone and it's all too late,
I tried and I tried, I never applied,
Any of the morals that I wish I had.
You wait fifty one weeks,
Through all of your hides and all of your seeks,
When the time finally arrives,
- Cameo Brooch
With your mother's cameo brooch
Sat at the foot of her bed taking notes
You watched her since you were small
You are the new belle of the ball
With your father's bruise on your arm
Telling me it's no cause for alarm
- Fallowfield Hillbilly
Lyrics to Fallowfield Hillbilly :
So i said is that all that matters anymore ?
Who happened to like that band first
and who likes them more?
Why do you compensate for the fact
that you clearly so oh very silly
by walking around my town like a fallowfield hillbilly ?
- Forget The Weight Of The World
You walked over still hungover from the night before
Those idiot girls were looking over
I don't know what for
That vintage Chanel dress that you wore
Just accentuated the fact that your heart was sore
Like a dying rose in the cold you froze
I'm holding the thorns on the floor
- Good Times Are Calling
Well I'm in Manchester and you're in London town
I'm having the time of my life
But I'm dying to go down
I don't know if I should come see you, for you I am falling
I'm still young, I need life for more than I need a wife
The good times are calling me
- Kings Of The New Road
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do,
I left home and then phoned to see if you like to dance,
A memory you and me,
Nobody else ever has to see,
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do,
I loved you, I still do, I probably always will do,
- Last Of The Ladies
You are the last of the ladies
You are the only one who can save me
You are, you are, you are
You are the one to grow old with
To live, to laugh, and to lie with
You are, you are, you are
- Lose Control
Lately I've been going through
One or two things that would make the nurses on the ward turn blue
Rabbit in the headlights with no place else to go
Can you pinpoint the place where you lost control?
Where did you lose control?
Where did you lose control?
- No You Didn't, No You Don't
Just because i use salty phrases
And i go through stages
Where i neglect endeavour
Does that mean that im not clever
No, i dont think so
Just because my newspaper pages
- Not Nineteen Forever
She’s had to peel me off the pavement
trying to insinuate sometimes i’m in danger of going too far
said would i like to go for tea and toast?
get your hand off my thigh
in the car she turned to me and said
you’re not nineteen forever, pull yourselves together
i know it seems strange but things they change
- Please Don't
4 years 22 shades of blonde is all that separated us
Why could of we of carried on, we could of got married,
You could of carried some of my sons
You let me change the radio station in your car,
Do you remember that time I raised my voice
Because you said you'd never ever heard of The La's
You continued to get intimidated
- Scratch Your Name Upon My Lips
Six thousand miles away, the first thing on my mind
I've not been to bed, my thoughts are racing
My heart is lagging behind
Desperate times call for double measures
The drinks ae going down alleviating the pressure
Just to see you for a second now, if only I could
Just to breathe the same air, then you know that I would
- Take Over The World
I looked into her eyes and I swore
I've never written a cliche before
And I'll probably never do so
She was beautiful though
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
- that kiss
The way that you looked at him
And then you looked at me
You must have been proper blind
Proper blind not to see
That I was just a stop gap sitting somewhere in between, his hand in his lap
Let me tell you that i wasn't born yesterday my dear
That kiss it lasted too long
- Van Der Graaff
Live a little bit
Have a little laugh
Roll up your sleeves and
Stick 'em on the Van Der Graaff
And watch it float away
She said "never do this, never do that,
Watch where you're swinging that rounders bat"
What do you know?
- will it be this way forever
A bicycle shop at the end of the road
A Chinese chippy to ease the load
The lights are low, and life's not fair
What I have is yours to share
Victoria Park, after dark
Kissing on the wall trying not to fall
Into your heart, and into your head
- You Over Did It Doll
I heard you coming in from town,
stilettos scrape the ground,
I saw you in your overcoat,
a random on your throat,
I know you this is not the girl,
that I used to whirl...
Round me,
what's happening to you,
- You Overdid It Doll
I heard you ..("heard you, I heard you ")
Coming in from town, Stilleto stroke the ground
I saw you . . (" saw you .. saw you" )
In your overcoat, random on your throat
I know you . . ( "know you,. . know you")
This is not the Girl, that I used to whirl
Around me . . . ("Round me . . . .round me . . ")
What's happening to you.. what's happening to you
