You and I had such good times
Summersun was on our minds
Stars were always shining
In our fantasy (fantasy)
Like romeo and juliette (juliette)
We fell in love with no regrets (no regrets)
I think you were the longest love
Was meant to be (meant to be)
So in love with you
I love you
So in love with you
Only you
I'm so in love with you
I will always be with you
As time goes bye our love grows strong
Many thought that we were wrong (we were wrong)
Will be you
that our move was never turning blue (turning blue)
So when I look into your eyes
The light I see is no surprise (no surprise)
No one could ever keep me
Away from you (away from you)
So in love...
Like Romeo and Juliettewe fell in love with no regrets
I think you were the longest love
Was meant to be
(Terri)
Well look who isn't here, didn't say good-bye
All that leaves is us without so much as a good reason why
And guess who isn't here, can you believe that guy?
A promise to him is like a million other lies
How long have we waited here, and who has the time
We can't sit and wait, we will feel like we were left behind
Was he so great a man, didn't say good-bye
Good riddance to him like this Armageddon
I'm tied to him Tell me where's the sea go
Like sea to sky In a blue sky
And I'm torn Tell me where does he go
In a blue sky
What's that you're saying there, do you think I'm blind?
I know what you think, you think I fell for him like quite a find
Well that's not it at all, no I'm just fine
(Greg)
Ticket in my hand I'm waiting
Thinking this will be the time
Imagine it will all be mine
Far away I'll drink and dine
Spend the night in cities open all the time
My eyes will shine
All in all I can't pretend
It would be wise to try my luck again
Deep inside I'm smiling just because I know
Uncle Sam he runs an honest show
All in all I can't pretend
It would be wise to try my luck again
The jakpot's up it's up again
It towers over mortal men
And just to think that if I win
I could alter who I am
And I know that in the end
If I don't win I'll try again
And I feel good I'm doing my share
The profits go to Medicare
And I'll be standing here in line
Spend my money bide my time
The jakpot's up it's up again
(Greg/Eric)
Come on in now get warm
Don't bring yourself to harm
You know the light is always on
You could be home now between
Sheets that you know are clean
You know the light is always on
Be of good cheer now somehow
You can forget for now
You know your glass is always full
Down here at the home
Cooking/Eating
Now you've jumped in a whim
It's time you learned to swim
You know it's time you had a try
In a bad film you careen
Driven from scene to scene
You know the camera always rolls
Please don't complain it's plain
You have yourself to blame
You knew this would be suicide
Could it be so, oh no
Back in your bungalow
You know the light is always on
Down here at the home
Washing/Drying
Dusting/Mopping
Won't you try to come down
They all said they'd be here
You know you've been to every gathering
Stretching out the years
You haven't said anything at all
(you could be)
Just a photo on the wall
(I can see)
You can't cut, I cannot bleed
Relieved to see my dreams recede
Finally going now waving goodbye
Finally going now waving bye bye
Finally going now waving goodbye
I keep asking them why
It's so much warmer this year
The people in the house across the street have moved away
Had I said that the stove needs repair?
You haven't said anything at all
(you could be)
Just a photo on the wall
(I can see)
You can't cut, I cannot bleed
Relieved to see my dreams recede
Finally going now waving goodbye
Finally going now waving goodbye
Finally going now waving goodbye
As if you hoped to find me paralysed in record time
Clinging to life well I'm not blind
I'm not blind
I'm not blind...
Won't you try to come down
they all said they'd be here
you know you've been to every gathering
stretching through the years
it's the least you could do
you could come down once or twice
or three times a year
it just seems like the least you could do
the least you could do
You haven't said anything at all
(you could be)
just a photo on the wall
You haven't said anything at all
(you could be)
(Terri)
When he's not home
Means we move around as we please
But when he gets home the blood that's in my head will
freeze
A big bottle's empty
Another one is still full
And when that's all gone someone's sure to get it
in the end
And when he's home he's home it's not a home
It's just a madhouse anyway
It's two o'clock
Mom says we can stay home again
But at six o'clock we'd rather be at school
again
A hand looms higher
Than a little face, it's 'cause
He knows this child wishes he wasn't here
(Tribe)
Yesterday I was thinking
It's a good time to change
Progress the future
It's happening it's ok
One day like another
Something to mend
It's tempting to press on
When will I reach the end
Sometimes evenings
Problems two-fold
I know how to solve them
Why go overboard
It's big it's scary
It's been done before
I'm moving still moving moving
(Greg)
I saw the film said that's the life for me
Forsake the mundane for some instability
So sue me
Now you're hiding upstairs
And now I'm not so sure
What is all this for?
Haven't got a lot to say have you have you
Oh you've done it now haven't you haven't you
How many times I didn't unfold you
Look at your face I hardly know you
Oh I'm in it now up to eyebrow
Oh I've done it now haven't I
Oh me thinking you'd be my joyride
I'll be lucky just to survive
I read the book I thought that it meant me
Your feverish vision of exquisite misery
It threw me
Now I'm in free fall
I'm empty as a bottle that you can see through
What am I to do?
I've had my fill
I feel that chill
I'm tired
You're still not home it caught me by surprise
It's a telltale odor I almost recognize
And I can hardly see
The pupils in your eyes
(Greg)
Through the windshield, on the footbridge
They cling to each other at the close of day
They've not a care for the crush of traffic
Their captive audience, they say
Look we've each other
What more could we ask for
We're right where we want to be
We're right where we want to be
And my heart skips and I twist a little
And the light's green and I drive away
I think who knows
What it is what it might be
I know anything goes
I've been there don't remind me
All kinds of twisted thoughts
Swirling through her head
She's already wondering about the baby
And look at him, watch his eyes
Who knows could be
He's already gone for the weekend in his mind
So here I am All on my own
Looking around Sun is shining
In all directions And now I feel
The wave inside And now I feel
(Janet/Terri)
Tossing and turning as your sheets wrap around you
And your breathing is peaceful but you sleep is unsettling
Slowly and steadily your memories start spinning 'round
And you try hard to follow you will want to remember
The breeze moves the curtains as it passes across your arms
And you stir as it passes but you can't really feel it now
Something is different the colors are shimmering
And your breathing gets quicker and your arms start to stiffen
You know that you're sleeping and you're sure that you're sleeping
Under certain conditions this could be terrifying
Movement and quality are somehow in harmony
(Terri/Eric)
Time's a mister crime's a mister
Mister right is sex and shelter
Sam says fists can make him feel like magic
Sam says bitch let Sam devour
The songs they seem so real
See the songs they speak to him
See the songs fists sinking, says he's sorry
Tears just only make the weak seem weaker
Sam says weak ones are the only ones to fight
Sam says sex is black and blue assault
And that salt makes better all the ladies
The songs they calm him down
See the songs they make a dove from a hound
See the songs can make even Sam sound sad
Down, down
Is this it?
Says his voice to the face in the payphone
And the face she seldom speaks, seldom lies
Says the face into the payphone
And the face she seldom speaks, seldom lies
Oh damn you killed our summer
And the weather seldom clears
Sam says baby let's be bygones
But the face she seldom hears, seldom heals
(Janet/Eric/Terri)
*(vocal by Terri)
He knows how to make me feel tragedy
He's crafty
He senses many ways to quiet me
He's clever
Hurry up, hurry up he's calling
He's waiting for me down there
Hurry up, hurry up he's calling
He cannot wait to tell me
I will rescue you
He does not accept my reasoning
He's angry
He suspects his charms are failing him
He's anxious
Hurry up, hurry up he's calling
He's learned a perfect rhythm
Let me in, let me in he's sorry
(Terri)
I am painting here with the lights off
Making swirls with the paintbrush
You say-what could this be of?
We're laughing, neighbors they make fuss
Then you serenade me
Lucky lucky me
You are lagging behind in the dark wood
I turn, retrace all my footsteps
You leap out from a tall tree
I jump, a plot just to kiss me
I am waiting still as the nights are
Listening, practice your guitar
Watching all of the sky's stars
Verse I
I've imagined faces of many lovers
To ease the pain of having no one
In My Life..
And i'm tried of being undercover...
It's time to Navigate my feelings tonight...
Hook:
The sky is calm
The stars are bright.
What's better than to be in flight..
I'll relax my mind
And be at ease....
and let this journey
Set me free
Set me free..
Chrous:
I'll Spread my wings
And fly away...(away)
To a place.. that I long for.
And my heart will be...the pathway..
I'm searching for a love
That 's ever more...
verse II
I've oftened wondered how'd i managed..
Always seraching, but, not finding a true heart..
What does it take to find me a lover..
I'm hoping that I dont' have to fly..
to far...
Hook:
Cause the sky is calm
The stars are bright..
And what's better than
to be in flight..
I'll relax my mind and be at ease.
and let this journey set me free
Set me free....
(Repeat Chorus)
We started out as friends
You did everything to please me
To show that you wanna be my lover
And now you wanna dis' me
I never meant to hurt your heart
And leave you all alone I've tried to change your mind
But you're never comin' home
She don't want to excuses
She won't even change her mind
She's steppin' on my heart
And I still hear her cry you lose
(You lose) you lose
(You lose) you lose
Ooh no, and then she said
I think it's time for you yo find another lover
You see I've got mine and I don't want no other
She broke my heart and left me for another
She just don't want my time
She left me for another lover
We used to be so close
We did everything under the sun
How could she let me go
I thought I was the only one
She said I think it's time for you
To find yourself another lover
How could I be so blind she don't want my love no more
She don't want to excuses
She won't even change her mind
She's steppin' on my heart
And I still hear her cry you lose
(You lose) you lose
(You lose) you lose
Intro:
That's my attitude
Hello
Who is this
Baby do you realize what time it is
What's up/Nothing's up
I'm asleep
Wait a minute
I thought you weren't talking to me no more
Remember just the other day you were fronting on me
Talking about my head was big now that I'm making records
You now what I'm saying
Oh/ when did you make that change
Well listen/ I got things to do
you know what I'm saying
You got to get off my line
You know/Straight up
You say you don't like
The way that I am
Frankly baby
I don't give a damn
After all the things you put me through
I'm not onna take this
Take this stuff from you
You ay that you can't believe
That a man could be so rude
Hey baby that's my attitude
You call me up on my phone
Telling me/don't be cruel
Heybaby that's my attitude
You don't understand why I[m acting like this
You want me to sit here and explain why
Listen I'm tired of talking/Yo Allen
I gave you my money
I gave all my time
all you did/was mess around with mym ind
then you go and find you another lover
I want you to know/pay-back is a mother
Now you wanna come back
But it just isn't like that
Don't think for a minute
Baby, I'm not with it
You ay that you can't believe
That a man could be so rude
Hey baby that's my attitude
You call me up on my phone
Telling me/don't be cruel
Heybaby that's my attitude
You don't understand why I[m acting like this
You want me to sit here and explain why
Baby, what's wrong with us?
I feel a storm coming.
When autumn first arrived you were my lady.
And love was written in the wind to show
And with the change of months there came October.
And now I wonder where our love did go.
It was the second rain of autumn we shared our feelings.
It was such, such a glorious autumn dream, yes it was.
But like kids we were too shy to say to each other that together, we would always like to be.
Someday soon I know we'll come together.
Even though our feelings change as seasons do.
But, maybe sweet November will tell us the story that will bring us back the love that we both knew.
When autumn first arrived you said you'd be my lady and you promised me that you would never go, ooh hoo.
And with the change of months there came October and now I'm wondering Where?
Where did our love go?
It was the second rain of autumn (second rain of autumn) we shared our feelings.
And it was such, such a glorious autumn dream, yes it was.
But like kids we were too shy to say to one another that together we would always like to be.
Someday soon I know we'll come together.
Even though our feelings change as seasons do.
But maybe sweet November will tell us the story that will bring us back the love that we both knew.
It's late at night
I hear the rain outside my window pane
And what I wanna do is sneak out and go to Lover's Lane
Me and You
But I can't take this feeling
It looks as if it's in control
It's natural
[Chorus:]
Just like Romeo and Juliet
Jack and Jill
Girl we're still in love forever
We're still in love
Side by side and heart to heart
Time reveals that we're still in love forever
We're still in love
We share the secret things that make each moment so divine
But we must be careful
And let no one catch us this time
Oooh baby, love you
I kept my promise to love you and no one else
I can't help myself
[Chorus: x2]
Just like Romeo and Juliet
Jack and Jill
We're still in love forever
We're still in love, still in love
Side by side and heart to heart
Time reveals that we're still in love forever
We're still in love, we're still in love
[Talking:]
Baby, u know we're like no other
We're like a romance in history
We have something real special
Something we'll always keep
I'm glad you were the one I met
I love you Juliet
[Chorus:]
Just like Romeo and Juliet
Girl, we're still in love forever
We're still in love baby, together forever
Side by side and heart to heart
Girl, we're still in love forever
We're still in love
I love you baby
[Verse 1]
I never had a love that made me feel this way
And I pray your love will never go away (ya, ya)
You bring a joy to life that I have never known (um hmm)
And I want you to know that you're the only one, the only one that I adore
[Chorus]
And if I could give you the world you know I would give it to you
Cause you make me feel like I can fly over the moon
And I would lay down my life for you if you wanted me to (if you wanted me to)
Cause you make me feel like I can do anything, even fly over the moon
[Verse 2]
I wish I had the words to express just what I feel
Cause if I did I tell you something special to you, my dear
I'd walk a thousand miles or more to be where ever you are (where ever you are)
Cause without you in my life, I don't think that I can survive, no baby
[Chorus]
[Hook]
Baby, yea
When you smile I see the sun shining (sun shining)
Make the stars come out in my life again (in my life again)
I feel so good, girl I wanna cry
I'm so glad you're in life baby (in my life baby)
And every time I look into your eyes
It's like a dream to have you here by my side
You pick me up girl, you make me anew
I couldn't live my life without you
Steve
Ah check it out I've got a story to tell you
Yes I'm talkin' about the 1st troop tour six
Days a week what a catastrophe
Yeah I know we got no sleep
Rodney B.
But we enjoyed the applause we didn't disregard
The ladies screamin' at our heavy duty bodyguards
We rocked hard with the mics in hand but
There's a couple of things I want you to understand
Allen
Late at night I look up to the moon
And I think to myself I would like to go home reall soon
I feel the music caught up in me
I'm a part of the beat
When they bring down the lights
Another lonely night
Just kickin' it with my music
And when the silence falls
And there are no more applause
Here's a little groove and you can use it
My music
Reggies
Now anyways from this end to that end
Troop is in the house and we'll keep you partyin'
It didn't take us long to learn our cards
We had the headliner workin' real, real hard
Though we're tired
Jon-Jon
We had no desire
Reggie
To stop rockin'
Jon-Jon
At any time, so understand now
Troop will never fail ya
Reggie
So listen as I let steve tell ya
Jon-Jon
(Yeah boy)
Steve
Late at night when we're all alone
And the phone keeps on ringing
A thousand girls callin' me
They're in love with what they see
But how could this be
When they bring down the lights
Another lonely night
Just kickin' it with my music
And when the cheering stops
And the last curtain drops
Here's a little groove we hope you use it
My music
Steve
Now when it's time to perform
Reggie
We never go diarmed
Steve
Ao all perpetrators better learn tobe alarmed
Reggie
The five oof us yeah
Steve
We step on the stage, we're here to cool you off
Like a full glass of minute maid breakdown
Allen
Well late at night we have a show we've gotta
Run, we get picked up in a limo we perform at one
Yeah the five of us yeah we step on the stage
Dressed in gold and black with the lights in
Our face girl glamour, glitter is what you
Believe there's more to an entertainer's life
You see, we get lonely stressed out
And they still can't fade us
Take a cut from my sabre
Late at night all alone I cling to hope that
You're gonna want me too
And I can't eat, I can't sleep am I foolish to think
That we could act out just one fantasy
Seven days have pased and time is movin' fast as it
Could be I've become a fool at the thought of you
Lovin' me seven more times seven nights draging
On here endlessly
You better come and get it
Cause my love (my love)
It has no limit
I can tell what's on your mind
You better take yuor chance and get it
Get my love (my love)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm gonna wrap you in it
You're never gonna get a better love than mine
There've been so many times we've made love in my
Mind before, I can't take no more
And I can tell by your smile you've pondered a while
On this who knows what comes after a kiss
Seven days have pased and time is movin' fast as it
Can be, I've become a fool at the thought of you
Lovin' me seven more times seven nights draging
On here with no sleep
My love (my love)
It has no limits
I can tell what's on your mind
You better take your chance and get it
Get my love (my love)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm gonna wrap you in it
Day and night, on my mind
And every waking moment
I try to figure out a pathway back to you, you
Break me down in little pieces
Show me all the things you need
And I will make you special wish come true, yeah
When things go wrong
You need someone
To help you see them through
(I will always)
I will always love you
When you need someone to stand beside you
(I'll hold you)
Hold you baby

Special lady
Girl you know just what you are
I could never stay too far from you
Angel
All the love and joy you bring
I would do most anything
For you
I would take a chance
Make a stand
For you
I would even lie even die
For you
Even though I'm cool
I'd act a fool
For you
I keep wondering
If I could keep you satisfied
I could be the one
That ran your life
Baby
I'll give you love and happiness
You're the girl I love the best
I think you treat me so right
I want to do the same thing for you
I feel so good inside
I hope you feel the same way too
For you
I would take a chance
Make a stand
For you
I would even lie even die
For you
Even though I'm cool
I'd act a fool
I can't wait to get to school each day
And wait for you to pass my way
And bells start to ring
And angels start to sing
Hey that's the girl for you
So what are you gonna do?
Hey little girl
I love you, I love you so
All I do is think of you
Day and night, that's all I do
I can't get you off my mind
Thinking back all the time
All the time
I begin to take the long way home
Just so I can be alone
To think of how to say
My heart's here to stay
Hey, I'm in love with you
I think the world of you
So won't you please, please be mine?
Oh, please be mine
All I do is think of you
Day and night, that's all I do
I can't get you off my mind
Thinking about you all the time
All the time
Girl, there are so many things
I wanna tell you
I'm in love with you
I think the world of you
All I do is think of you
Day and night, night and day
I can get you off my mind
Thinking about, ooh baby
I keep thinking about you
All night long, ooh baby
Day and night, that's all I do
I can't get you
Can't get you off my mind
All I do is think of you
Day and night that's all I do
I can't get you off my mind
Thinking about
All I do is think of you
Day and night
I can't get you off my mind
Thinking about
Breathe
He thinks there's too many Christmases and not enough Grinches
As he studies the back of the Alcha Seltzer pack while watching his drink fizz
His cold fingers turn the radio down a bit 'cos he's sick of Dusty Springfield
A drunken Santa Claus stumbles past
And then spits onto his windshield
He hates driving ambulances, the truth is he should've been scuba-diver
Today he even took the
Batteries out his walkie-talkie to avoid his supervisor
But he's pretty good at his job and over the years has saved a bunch of
people
Only last week he persuaded some crazy guy not to jump off St. Pauls cathedral
I will breathe for you
I can resuscitate you
But who breathes for me? I think I’m suffocating
I will breathe for you
I can resuscitate you
But who breathes for me?
Who breathes for me?
But ever since Angela’s funeral his uniform got a few more creases in it
And his ambulance is too warm after his shift so he usually
Falls asleep in it
And when he does go back to his flat there's a freezer packed full of TV dinners
And he may collapse with a tad
Of indigestion but least he never has to clean the dishes
I will breathe for you
I can resuscitate you
but who breathes for me? I think I’m suffocating
I will breathe for you
I can
Resuscitate you
But who breathes for me?
Who breathes for me?
Recently his uniform's got more creases in it
He's been sleeping in it
Recently his uniforms got more creases in it
He's been
Applecheeks
He picked her up a nice bunch of motorway roses
And they stumbled into a photo booth and pulled some funny poses
He told her about his christian rock group, guns and moses
He's glad she laughs at his crummy jokes 'cos no-one else does
As they went into the ghost-train at the fair she started playing footsie
When they came out he was wearin' her lip balm like
He was tootsie
Then they got stuck on the ferris wheel and laughed at by the gypsies
But she had her i-pod so they sat and
Just listened to the pixies /
Teenagers in love all dewy eyed
And she looks prettiest when she is shy
She's got those apple-cheeks from the cold
She's got those apple-cheeks from the cold
She better button up her coat
She better button up her coat
So they went to the cinema on Saturday to watch a matinee in Chiswick
The kinda girl who out the Jones' prefers Indiana to Bridget
They came out of the first flick and then snuck into another one
And whenever she got bored she French kissed him her Bubble-gum
And afterwards they carved their names onto a park bench
But in brackets they put Louis Lane & Clark Kent
And if you'd seen them at the station it would've made you heart wrench
Shivering on the platform 'cos they missed the last train /
Teenagers in love all duey eyed
And she looks prettiest when she is shy
She's got those apple-cheeks from the cold
She's got those apple-cheeks from the cold
She better button up her coat
Who's That?
Who's that sitting at the bus-stop
Look at his mug shot
Looks like he's been mugged off
Woken up at night by the guard dogs
Plus he's got a pile of old broken alarm clocks
I can't even be bothered to
Read a book, write , clean or to cook
Feel like I’m Steve Mcqueen on foot
Look in my cupboards nothing but cheese and custard
My feet reek like Dijon mustard
So who's that sitting at the bus-stop
While his mums dog take a pee on his Dunlops
I lost my cherry to the solo in November rain
And I’ll always die hard like I’m John Mclane
So come on traffic lights go green
And come on STD test be clean
And pretty please Mr. Washing machine
Do your thing and take those funny stains off a my jeans
So come on mum, just leave that prick and
Come home sis at least for a bit
In school I was cool with geography and punch-ups
Picked on by the boy with the transformer lunch box
Who's that sitting at the bus-stop
Look at his mug-shot
It looks like he's been mugged off
Woken up at night by the guard dogs
Plus he' got a pile of old broken alarm clocks
Ey yo I stuff down a big fat breakfast that'd be fit for a builder
I got a crush on the waitress here a bit like Hillsborough
So when I dust I tip a couple of silvers
But I 'aint got a chance 'cos she looks like a film-star
But one fine day I’ll be a wealthy fellow
And then my piss-streak will a healthy yellow
But until then it's just me and my neighbours cello
Don't put your drinks on the table, please use my demo
Who's that sitting at the bus-stop look at his mug-shot
Looks like he's been mugged off
Woken up at night by the guard dogs
Plus he's got a pile of old broken alarm clocks
So I guess it's just me and the fruit machine
would someone please turn down the human-league
I’m trying to win some loot to get a new TV
So I can sit around all day and watch QVC
The Gambler
I’m out on this ledge
With my hands out stretched
My feet together
I’ve reached my tether
Take a deep breath
My cheeks get redder
The pavement will spell it I don't need no letter
I gambled everything and now I’ve got nothing
If I was watching, I’d probably take odds on me jumping
I shuffle to the edge, I’m fifty story's up
And I think this is the end, 'cos I think I wanna jump
Would someone please..
Will they call my home and
Say I won't be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I won't be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I won't be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I won't be back again /
Now I know by my standards
That's loads of by-standers
I look down and see the crowd talking in sign language
In the wind my tie's flapping
I can see lights flashing
I feel my tears stick to my eye-lashes
There's no going back on this look s like I’m still jumping
I’ve done the mathematics on it like good will hunting
And all I can hear in my head is unchained melody
Which is strange 'cos I never fell in love with anybody
I left some funeral money and cleaned my flat
Plus a note with the neighbor asking her to clean my flat
I got summer time butter-flies 'cos winters waiting for me
It's a starry night like vincent painted it for me
The bachelor
Who never asked for anything spectacular
I hope they have to peel me off the pavement with a spatchelor
I’m about to risk everything and I’ve never felt happier
Yet I’ve never felt angrier
My name is the gambler
Would someone please..
Will they call my home and
Say I won't be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I won't be back again
Will they call my home and
Say I won't be back again
Will they call my home and
Summer Sundays
Break out the take out
It's ten past eight now
I swear the weather-man just said my name out
My beds covered in red wine stains and
She's got kind off a meg ryan face to her
Search for my pen and pull out my ryhme book
Perch on the bed and add a few lines to it
She pulls me near and kisses me with sour breath
Whispeing in my ear something 'bout the shower-head
This is like when Clarence and Alabama met
True romance that happened in a nano-sec
Broken curtain rails and chairs knocked over
And up the stairs I spy a trail of clothes I
Lie on my pillow exhale the smoke why
Open the window when the sex smells dope and
Off back to sleep she goes
I was wrong she looks more like a blonde Catherine Zeta-Jones /
At last we picked a spot
Summer Sundays where the sun stays out past six o clock
She sun bathes I sit and watch her and some days
She looks in some ways like a ..
So the airs rich with drink and perfume
My English version of Ingrid Bergman
I’m certain when I fall asleep she's Rita Hayworth
But when I wake up she's Elizabeth Taylor
She's Jessica Rabbit, she's double any bond girl
She's Bridget Bardot she's Marylyn Monroe
But the fact is though thats not why I fell for her
'Cos no actress can act like she acts like herself /
At last we picked a spot
Summer Sundays where the sun stays out past six o clock
She sunbathes I sit and watch her
River Phoenix
Mikes mum used to say the Beatles weren't the same now John’s gone
And all that's really left is Paul McCartney and his frog song
Mike thinks she's not wrong
As he puts some clean socks on
And looks into the mirror he pops all his greasy spots on
He hums along to a cheesy rock song
Combing his hair, how much Ralph Lauren? Screw it put lots on
He's already put a sign on his door so
His friends don't knock for him
Mikey must likey this girl lots then /
Try not to wake up mike
'Cos last night the girl he likes cried
Turns out he didn't get a kiss goodnight 'cos River Phoenix died
So later that night mike took her to this Italian place in Queens-way
She had the pizza
Magherita
And he had the sea-bait
She said she was a libra , and that her favorite band was green-day
And she rarely drank either, so that made her a cheap date
They flirted with some cheese-cake
And then they left at nine
And he walked her home back to her road just near Kensal Rise
And just before he kissed her, her little sister ran outside
With tears in her eyes
She said River Phoenix has died
Try not to wake up mike
'Cos last night the girl he likes cried
Turns out he didn't get a kiss good-night 'cos River Phoenix died
Mike never got to kiss her
Rented
They spent that Thursday morning, yawning, channel-surfing, and slagging off all the bands
She got lips like Audrey Hepburn and she tastes of strawberry jam
He tries to put on a Geordie accent 'cos he knows she always laughs at it
She likes the sound of music but she says she always skips the nazI bit
She does French crosswords and when she wears his t-shirts they look like dresses on her
And if the sun comes out her nose gets those little brown freckles on it
Her 21st birthday was coming up and he didn't know what to get for her
So he wrote her a song and in that song there was this bit where he said to her..
I’m looking for your face in crowded places
I’m double-taking all these random strangers
And since I left you at Victoria station
You've rented my head out
rented my head out
And on his mobile phone next to her name he's put the letter x in
'Cos she always puts kisses in-between all the words when she texts him
And she wakes up when his asthma's bad and gets him his Ventolin
And gently rubs his back and rests there on the edge of the bed with him
And sometimes her joints get achey and she lets him stretch them for her
And she falls asleep during horror films with her head rested on him
And for her 21st birthday coming up he still didn't know what to get for her
So he wrote her a song, and in that song he meant it when he said to her..
I’m looking for your face in crowded places
I’m double taking all these random strangers
And since I left you at Victoria station
You've rented my head out
Olympic Breakfast
Olympic breakfast at £8.99
Olympic breakfast I’m waiting for mine
Olympic breakfast from six till nine
So don't say anything until it arrives
The milky tea stings my lips as I take a sip
While Chris is flicking through the menu taking ages to pick
He tells me to quit being such an impatient git
Then he quips he's only hear 'cos he thinks the waitress is fit
I take the ketchup and I shake it a bit
Listening the radio sing and the bacon spit
Then Kate comes in with all of her make-up smeared and makes paper air-planes out of todays gazette
I got..
Knife and fork in my hands just like a drummer
How can you talk? When I’m about to die of hunger
Where's my..
Olympic breakfast at £8.99
Olympic breakfast I’m waiting for mine
Olympic breakfast from six till nine
So don't say anything until it arrives
I’m waiting for a breakfast the size of Texas
While a reckless Chris has decided to text message all of his ex's
Kate's talking about her necklace
That's why my face remains expressionless
Now I know what depression is
I’m still waiting for a breakfast the size of Texas
While chris still hasn't got a reply from any of his ex's
Kate's still talking about her necklace
Now I know what depression is
Would some-one please tell me where my breakfast is?
Knife and fork in my hands just like a drummer
How can you talk when I’m about to die of hunger
Where's my ?

Laundromat
She only had on a smile when she had an orgasm
At the Laundromat
Just her and the tumble driers getting horny
At the Laundromat
Today is laundry day for Christian
He puts in the itchy Christmas jumpers that his daft aunty still knits him
Two pairs of white Calvin Klein’s with the skids in
Plus the beer stained jeans with the rips in
After last night’s knees up
Christian ain’t feelin’ so clean-cut
He gets off the bus freezing cold in his t-shirt
And walks into the Laundromat and that's when he sees her
Reachin' down from the tumble drier turnin' the speed up
She only had on a smile when she had an orgasm
At the Laundromat
Just her and the tumble driers getting horny
At the Laundromat
Today Katie has to clean her uniform
But when she woke up this morning, Katie felt horny as a unicorn
She got her skirts, tops, socks and swimwear
But when she arrived at the Laundromat there was no-body in there
So Katie broke some change and turned the machine on
But all that waiting and vibrating turned Katie’s machine on
So when Christian walked in, Katie was getting her scream on
And the windows of the Laundromat had plenty of steam on
She only had on a smile when she had an orgasm
At the Laundromat
Just her and the tumble-driers getting horny
Go Away
October 87 in a South West London cul-du-sac
When mum had her hair like Cher, and those jackets with shoulder pads
Dad snorted the mortgage and the hurricane stole my cat
And my sister started hanging out with all these older lads
At school all I ever gave a crap about was Donkey-Kong and Thunder-Cats
I got jumped in my lunch break and hung up by my under-pants
And all this Peter-Pan ever wanted, was a Blue Peter badge
And my sister was conceived in a two-seater Jag
I’m sailing away, you can get me on the phone
Just put it away, I’m going to try this on my own
I’ve nothing to say
Please go away
Rewind to 1989
The time Dad packed up his suitcase
Meanwhile I super-glued my way through the egg and spoon race
And the first time I saw Mum cry was the night that Grandpa died
So I wrote to Jim'll Fix It but the bastard never replied
And I can remember eating sausage rolls with grated cheese and baked beans
My face inches away from the screen watching the A-Team
Sunday mornings just a day-dream all Snap Crackle and Pop
And the first place you could look for me was down on Fraggle-rock
I’m sailing away, you can get me on the phone
Just put it away, I’m going to try this on my own
I’ve nothing to say
Dead, decimated dreams
Severed right in two
From the heart a vague understanding of
Dead, remnants of disease
Infecting all of you
From the heart a vague understanding of
Dead useless stries to tell
I saw the world and then it left me
Bought and sold from infancy
Death, always digging free, always pushing through
A vague understanding of
Death, always digging free, always pushing through
A vague understanding they said...
They said...
Bought and sold
Another pound of flesh and soul
It's gunna break you as a whole
And desecrate you here alone
Looking back it's bought and sold
Another pound of flesh and soul
It's gunna break you as a whole
And desecrate you here alone...
I saw the world and then it left me
Bought and sold from infancy
Death, always digging free, always pushing through
A vague understanding of
Death, always digging free, always pushing through
A vague understanding they said...
Do you feel guilty?
Do you feel afraid?
I got a pill to make it go away
Justice has decayed our anarchist parade
Light your dreams on fire
You're on your way...
Sifting through the flood
Covered in tears and blood
I'd give it all away
Just to say...
Your answers always lie in your confusion...
No more sight...
No more soul...
No more sight, no more soul
No more reason, no control
No more sight, no more soul
No more reason, no control
Your answers always lie in your confusion!
Day turns to night,
On the other side.
Hey, I burn better when I'm dry.
On the other side,
Day turns to night.
One last drink from the river
Tell me friend,
When will I see you again?
Oh, what a beautiful time.
Oh, peace has come again
"When will it end?"
I ask my friend today
Disconnect.
Cut the strings.
Feed the lies.
Where is reason now? It's been too long
Riding the wings of a lie
Feeling suffocated, feeling so frustrated
Where is reason now? It's caged inside
Digging deeper to find
And it's breathing, it's teething, it's breeding
tonight
Cuz I
I'll build myself a broken home
Until the sky stops falling
I'll sew my eyes shut just for a while
Until I feel Autumn come
Coming undone
This sacred kingdom
Oh no I'm not letting go
Coming undone
This sacred kingdom
Oh no I'm not letting goooo
Cuz I
I'll build myself a broken home
Until the sky stops falling
I'll sew my eyes shut just for a while
Until I feel Autumn come
Find myself again
Until I've bled enough
Find myself again
Until I've bled enough
Until I find myself again
Until I feel the ground give way
Until I feel something else
Until I feel Autumn come
Until I feel Autumn come
Until I feel Autumn come
Until I feel Autumn come
I need to distinguish the line
I need to distinguish body from mind
The end of time
The end of time
I need to distinguish the line
I need to distinguish body from mind
The end of time
The end of time
Lost at sea
Forgetting about the world
I’m alive today, while the planet dies
Breathe with me
Beginning to feel the power
Flowing through my veins
Tearing at the seams
And equalize the pain
It’s fluctuating, take it all away
And just breathe
Can’t you see that it’s leading me to the point of
breaking…
Lost at sea
Forgetting about the world
I’m alive today, while the planet dies
Breathe with me
Beginning to feel the power
Drifting away.
Another night and day,
A taste and a feel.
The truth concealed.
Life is overrated, it's binding my soul.
And now
The tide's been waiting for you.
These hopeless dreams are for you
Now looking through the eyes of the storm.
(More false hope like before!)
Just running on the dream of tomorrow.
Fade control,
Spirit dissolving beneath the skin
Closer
The tide's been waiting for you.
These hopeless dreams are for you
Now looking through the eyes of the storm.
(More false hope like before!)
Just running on the dream of tomorrow.
(Tomorrow!)
Now looking through the eyes of the storm!
Just running on the dream of tomorrow.
Find yourself, find myself
By yourself, by myself (These eyes)
Dead inside, dead inside
You must find, you must find (Don't hide)
You decide, you decide
By yourself, by yourself (This time)
Void inside, my demise
Start seeing, start acting (Start seeing)
These eyes
Won't hide
It's time
Start seeing!
Fight. Back!
It's all subliminal (subliminal)
And I can see it now
Don't lose control (look inside)
Let's fight this fascist regime
This is for all the unclean
The tide is waiting
So love yourself and hate me more lose control!
In time you'll find,
Inside this time,
Now you decide,
Cracks in the surface,
Sealed in the sky,
Defacing a small child's desperate eyes.
I'm trapped in the womb.
It's filling me with lies.
Victims, a dead cause to realign.
Overwhelm me before I decay.
There's got to be more to this reality,
This medicated metaphor.
Torn by visions,
Dreaming again I'm awake for the first time.
Fed by illusion,
Breathing again it's imprinted in my mind.
Everlasting moments,
Unable to find,
Reasons a new thought to realize.
Liberate me from these empty chains.
Torn by visions,
Dreaming again I'm awake for the first time.
Fed by illusion,
Breathing again it's imprinted in my mind.
Torn by visions,
Dreaming again I'm awake for the first time.
Fed by illusion,
She lays a trail of blood to help me find my way
She speaks ever so softly as I fade away
She wears her heart on her sleeve,
But I’m still not…
Home.
Blood, broken
Withered, in chains
Blood, broken
Withered, in chains
I’ve been straying away from life and now it’s gone
The change came too slowly for you to see
Living above the crowd,
Staring up at the clouds,
I’m never coming back
And she loves me
And she feeds me
And she helps me
She takes me home
Blood, broken
Withered, in chains
Blood, broken
Withered, in chains
Living above the crowd,
Staring up at the clouds,
I’m never coming back
And she loves me
And she feeds me
And she helps me
She takes me home
Fuck!
Living above the crowd,
Staring up at the clouds,
I’m never coming back
She keeps me awake,
Pry my eyes out so I can see
So I can feel, so I can understand
This fucking pain could disappear
She eats my life away, I watch my body decay
Swallowing self-suppressive years
She keeps me awake,
Pry my eyes out so I can see
So I can feel, so I can understand
This fucking pain could disappear
She eats my life away, I watch my body decay
Swallowing self-suppressive years
My sadistic child, oh misery,
Maybe one day I’ll get home…
And she loved me
And she fed me
And she helped me
And she left me!
Sereno e
Rimanere a letto ancora un po'
E sentirti giu in cucina che
Gia prepari il mio caffe
E far finta di dormire
Per tirarti contro me.
Sereno e
Ricordare il primo giorno che
Sei salita sulla moto mia
Noi due soli senza compagnia
E la volta che hai guidato tu
Dentro al fosso a testa in giu . . .
Sereno e
Scivolare dentro il mare e poi
Senza il peso dei pensieri miei
Giu nel buio la conferma che
Lassu in alto sempre tu ci sei
Che alla luce aspetti me.
Sereno e
Dare un calcio ai grattacapi e poi
Con un bacio fare pace noi
E sentirmi come tu mi vuoi
Raccontarti un sacco di bugie
Non dai modo di trsvarti mai sincera
Magari hai vogliia e dici no
Quanti bagni mozzafiato insieme e poi di sera
Vicino vicino a me tremi un po' non cercare
Di negare che stasera magari se inisito io
ti avro.
Cosi piccola e fragile mi sembri tu
E sto sbagliando di piu.
Cosi piccola e fragile ma in fondo sei
Molto piu forte di me.
L'apparenza gioca contro me lo vedo
Figurati se ci stai tu con me non sei cosa
Che puo diventare mia davvero pero se ci filo io dietro te.
Cosi picco-la e fragile mi sembri tu
. . .
E con la voce che hai sensazioni mi dai mi innamoro
fragile sei tu.
Sottovoce tu mi eaponi i tuoi problemi poi ridi
E ti neghi a me mentre io ho bisogno delle fresche mani tue -
(feat. BabiixJenii)
May twenty-second two-thousand-and-five was the day

so ima hold on tight because i need you by my side
it`s me and you forever, babe, i need you in my life
we were created to find each other
our fate written down for us to love forever
our hands locking tight as i look into the eyes
of that one special person who would complete my life
you were the one i chose out of all the rest
the one who i would cherish and i`ll put in all my best
just to stay in your arms as you hold me tight
cuhz baby, being with you just feels so right
every single second that i live, i`m thinkin` of you
how we met was destiny, our love is honest and true
tell me what am i supposed to do if i ain`t got you here
i wanna be the one that`s by your side through the years
wanna be the one who`s gonna fight away all your tears
replacin` it with happiness and take away all your fears
one day we`re gonna look at our pictures and reminise
crazy all the things you do to me with just a little kiss

the one who i would cherish and i`ll put in all my best
just to stay in your arms as you hold me tight
cuhz baby, being with you just feels so right
if loving you is wrong, then i don`t wanna be right
can`t imagine what this life would be without you by my side
the day we met, i can`t explain the way that i felt
feeling all of these emotions that i can`t even help
if i didn`t meet you, there would be no smile on my face
you doin` everything to me to make my heartbeat to race
every little thing we do is just so special to me
we are meant to be, that`s something that i truly agree
and i know it`s fate and destiny, i see it in your eyes
everytime you smile, i can`t explain the feeling inside
always gonna treat you good, exactly like the first day
