2	0		I saw you dancin' You moved like Sinatra On speed The lights were a flashin' And tongues were a waggin' Over you It's too late for trying It's too late for denying All those little things you and me have done I'm sorry hun' I was hoping for a recall Mix of you high from the sun Ah but nothing Only lone magpies come I saw you dancin' You moved like Sinatra On speed
3	1	2013	Well the times are so a changin' 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 shiny fruit And it’s coming after you As for Instagram and Twitter She got caught in both lassoes 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 magic like 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
4	2	505	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 When you look at me like that my darling What did you expect? I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck Or I did last time I checked I’m 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 The 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 surprise 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
5	3	7	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Well I wrote my number down I 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 were looking and you kept staring Your thoughts pairing up with mine And when you're so pretty and I'm so shy You probably didn't give me the eye though 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
6	4	A Certain Romance	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 'em, 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 Because their minds are made up And course it's all okay to carry on that way 'Cause 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 couple of 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 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
7	5	All My Loving	Close your eyes and I'll kiss you, Tomorrow I'll miss you; Remember I'll always be true. And then while I'm away, I'll write home every day, And I'll send all my loving to you. I'll pretend that I'm kissing The lips I am missing And hope that my dreams will come true. And then while I'm away, I'll write home every day, And I'll send all my loving to you. All my loving I will send to you. All my loving, darling I'll be true. Close your eyes and I'll kiss you, Tomorrow I'll miss you; Remember I'll always be true. And then while I'm away, I'll write home every day, And I'll send all my loving to you. All my loving I will send to you. All my loving, darling I'll be true. All my loving, all my loving, Ooh, all my loving I'll send to you.
8	6	All My Own Stunts	Caricatures of your wrecking ball Gown in my mind all the time I wanna be in that damsel-patterned alley Where you go for a smoke And 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 And sorrow slow dances Around the edges of her eyes Taking no chances The last one out to 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 'Cause I'm from High Green, I'm from High Green
9	7	American Sports	So when you gaze at planet earth from outer space Does it wipe that stupid look off of your face? I saw this aura over the battleground states I lost the money, lost the keys But I'm still handcuffed to the briefcase And I never thought, not in a million year That I'd meet so many lovers Can I please have my money back? My virtual reality mask is stuck on 'Parliament Brawl' Emergency battery pack just in time for my weekly chat with God on videocall Breaking news they take the truth and make it fluid The trainer's explanation was accepted by the steward* A montage of the latest ancient ruins Soundtracked by a chorus of "you don't know what you're doing" And I never thought, not in a million year That I'd meet so many lovers And all of my most muscular regrets explode behind my eyes like American sports And I never thought, not in a million year That I'd meet so many lovers *ten i kilka kolejnych wersów zostały napisane przez dziadka Alexa Turnera, który pasjonuje się wyścigami konnymi i zaproponował Alexowi, by ten dodał do tekstu piosenki zdanie, pojawiające się na każdym wyścigu
10	8	Anyways	Just another microcosm somewhere in the ether, Putting the world to rights with Bing Crosby eyes Oversharing and its bitter aftertaste Exactly the wrong time, in exactly the wrong place Save it for a rainy day Baby, you go hard in the paint It’s just another race to Anyways Philanthropic toga party What a place for both the opposite sides of my double life to finally collide Sharing secrets I was taking to the grave Nosebleeds from epiphanies I took full in the face Oh, come o’er by the fire babe, let’s all participate in yet another race to Anyways Oh, how’s your mum and dad been doing with the generation gap? Yeah! I’m behind my movie camera I’ve got my megaphone You can call me Alexander It’s nice to meet you all Listening to the shipping forecast driving to the airport Me and the guys Metropolis ablaze in the rearview Devising methods to both have and eat your cake Mm, just like the ones that Mother Nature used to bake You look as if you know exactly what I’m gonna say Is just another race to Anyways
11	9	Arabella	Arabella's got some interstellargator skin boots And a helter skelter around her little finger and I ride it endlessly She's got a Barbarella silver swimsuit And when she needs to shelter from reality She takes a dip in my daydreams My days end best when this 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 Just might have 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 a kiss the color of constellation falling into place My days end best when this 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 Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure (That's magic) In a cheeath print coat (Just a slip) Underneath it I hope (Asking if) I can have one of those (Organic) Cigarettes that she smoke (Wraps her lips) 'Round that Mexican Coke (Makes you wish) That you were the bottle (Takes a sip) Of your soul, and it sounds like Just might have tapped into your mind and soul You can't be sure
12	10	Baby I'm Yours (cover Barbary Lewis)	Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours) And I'll be yours (yours) until the stars fall from the sky, Yours (yours) until the rivers all run dry In other words, until I die Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours) And I'll be yours (yours) until the sun no longer shines, Yours (yours) until the poets run out of rhyme In other words, until the end of time I'm gonna stay right here by your side, Do my best to keep you satisfied Nothin' in the world can drive me away 'Cause every day, you'll hear me say Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours) And I'll be yours (yours) until two and two is three, Yours (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 poets run out of rhyme
13	11	Bad Woman	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
14	12	Balaclava	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 Will you be able to boast that the day held the most Flawless heist 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
15	13	Batphone	I want an interesting synonym to describe this thing That you say we're all grandfathered in I'll use the search engine (We've got much to discuss) Too much to discuss over a bucket of balls I can recall the glow of your low beams It's the big night in Tinsel City Life became a spectator sport I launch my fragrance called 'Integrity' I sell the fact that I can't be bought Have I told you all about the time that I got sucked into a hole through a handheld device? I will flashback now and again but I'm usually alright Thankfully the process has been simplified since the last time you tried I've recognized the glow of your low beams numerous times I'll be by the Batphone if you need to get a hold Making a selection opening credits roll Panoramic windows looking out across your soul You go in through the door Vengeance trilogy wallpaper walls The have re-decorated it all They've changed all the lights and the bar's down the side I've recognized the glow of your low beams numerous times Through fairly opaque blinds in the sitting room The vehicles will pass by but I know when it's you I'll be in a nose dive in my flying shoes Right behind your closed eyes like a memory from your youth I'll be by the Batphone if you need to get a hold Making a selection opening credits roll Killed pink flamingos, computer controlled Panoramic windows looking out across your soul
16	14	Big Ideas	That's quite a number to sing Spot lit getting lowered in Can you co-direct and play the twins? And adapt the main theme for mandolins? I've conjured up wonderful things The Ballad of What Could Have Been Over and out It's been a thrill I had big ideas, the band was so excited The kind you'd rather not share over the phone But now the orchestra's got us all surrounded And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go Co-ordinated release Nationwide festivities We had 'em out of their seats Waving their arms and stomping their feet Some just hysterical scenes The Ballad of What Could Have Been Over and out Really it's been a thrill I had big ideas, the band was so excited The kind you'd rather not share over the phone But now the orchestra's got us all surrounded And I cannot for the life of me remember how they go I just can't for the life of me remember how they go
17	15	Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts	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 Is no intention of a wedding He’s pinched ya bird and 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 on the front of the shops And 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 was different And you thought she was 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 clear you were, though Have you heard what she has been doing? Never did it for me He picks her up at the school gates 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 Is 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
18	16	Black Treacle	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 gonna lose But you wanna 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 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 Now I'm out of place And I'm not getting any wiser I feel like the Sundance Kid Behind a synthesizer And I tried last night To pack away the laugh Like a key under the mat But it never seems to be there When you want it Black treacle Black treacle Black treacle
19	17	Body Paint	[Verse 1] For a master of deception and subterfuge You've made yourself quite the bed, to lie in Do your time traveling through the tanning booth So you don't let the sun catch you crying [Chorus] So predictable, I know what you're thinking [Verse 2] My teeth are beating and my knees are weak It's as if there's something up with the wiring You can poke your head behind the mountain peak It don't have to mean that you've gone into hiding [Chorus] So predictable I know what you're thinking [Bridge] I'm watching your every move I feel the tears are coming on It won't be long It won't be long [Refrain] Straight from the cover shoot There's still a trace of body paint On your legs and on your arms and on your face And I'm keeping on my costume And calling it a writing tool And if you're thinking of me I'm probably thinking of you [Refrain] There's still a trace of body paint On your legs and on your arms and on your face There's still a trace of body paint On your legs and on your arms and on your face There's still a trace of body paint On your legs and on your arms and on your face There's still a trace of body paint On your legs and on your arms and on your face So predictable I know what you're thinking Ooh, hah, yeah
20	18	Brianstorm	Brian Top marks for not trying So kind of you to bless us With your effortlessness We're grateful and so strangely comforted And I wonder Are you putting 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 saying, "Use me, Show me the jacuzzi" I imagine that it's there on a plate Your whole 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 commanding (Top marks for not trying) You leave the other stories standing With your renditions and jokes Bet there's hundreds of blokes That have wept 'cause you've stolen their Thunder Are you putting us under? 'Cause we can't take our eyes Off the t-shirt and ties combination Well, see you later, innovator

22	20	Catapult	Both sides In 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 He'll turn your legs to little building blocks and with his index finger flicks you on your socks I 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 carve 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 tell you how 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 they would queue up to listen to him pissing and hang around to watch some poor girl blub And then they'd chase him down the avenue incessantly pestering him to let him join the club He knows how to put a cork in the fuss and just how to shut up the charming ones of us And I'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

27	25	Cornerstone	I thought I saw you in The Battleship But it was only a lookalike 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 over 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 short cuts to myself I thought I saw you in The Parrot's 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 short cuts 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"
28	26	Crying Lightning	Outside 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 pick and mix Said your mistaken if your thinking that I haven't been called cold before As you bit into your strawberry lace And then offered me 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 Stood and 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

30	28	D is for Dangerous	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 guiltiness 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 Three quarters of an hour ago That had led him to be in a position On the brink of a mission On the brink of an 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

90	88	Plastic Tramp	He looks as if he hasn't slept, His hair is purposely unkept. Then he knew his people wept When you crafted your plan. 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, I'm sorry mate and walk away.

93	91	Put Me In A Terror Pocket	He spoke a script Dipped in the sort of talk to make you keep the gaze It's all a trick The slicked back slimy arms have got a war to wage He's got a laugh like a crackling wire And he wants to put the bite marks on you He wants to put the bite marks on you And he twists my guts As the only thing as repelling as his invitations Are his excuses And he said "I am the conductor Put me in a terror pocket" He did a stint Master in a craft He'd squint through his spectacle He'd drop a dirty hint if he thinks that he could impress you with the unacceptable And he has turned through all the pages with his fingers And covered them with goo And he wants to put the bite marks on you He wants to put them on you and it hurts my back Because the only thing that's as heavy as the adoration Is the days of hanging out on his own And it's been a long-sounding alarm And he frightened me to death When he said "I am the conductor Put me in a terror pocket" 'Cause he's trying to give me a ticket to a competition And I don't know how the odds are stacked As he's rolling out the running track

119	117	Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend	[Alex Turner] I don't ever want to hate you, So don't show me your bed, The only roads are cul-de-sacs, The first thing that she said. Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate, The one that used to get you in bother, But one you could never bring yourself to hate. And she said we've got that spark, That only lights a fuse, Helps you see in the dark, But it's a sight you'll lose when, The temptation greets you like your naughty friend. I don't ever want to hate you, So don't show me your bed, The only roads are cul-de-sacs, The only ends are dead. Temptation greets you like your naughty mate, One that made you steal and set things on fire, But one you haven't seen of late. And I said that kind of talk, Only adds intrigue, To the cauldron of thought, It's already exceeding, Temptation, the very thing that held her back. I don't ever want to hate you, So don't show me your bed, The only roads are cul-de-sacs, The only ends are dead. I don't ever want to hate you, It's not part of the plan, So keep your charm where I can't see it, And your hands where I can. [Dizzee Rascal] We used to be in tight me and my naughty friends, Caused bare madness in the ends, I mean day 'n' night, We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight, Smoking, drinking, joyriding, Drugs, thugs, not law-abiding, Reckless gangsters no direction, No sign of correction, But then i switched it up, Changed my ways, What the hell! Like oh my days , But like my naughty friends, They're not phased, Can't believe that this music pays, See no reason why we can't do, All the things we've always done, Still in my heart I know thats just what, But its hard to fight the temptation son. [Alex Turner] The panic will fall down around you, If you don't do what i say. I don't ever want to hate you, So don't show me your bed, The only roads are cul-de-sacs, The only ends are dead. I don't ever want to hate you, It's not part of the plan, So keep your charm where I can't see it, And your hands where I can.

121	119	The Afternoon's Hat	Made me kiss ya' with a whisper And violently you swung, through unfamiliar tounge Couldn't listen to tradition, grabbed 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, unsugared taste Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at You stood shirtless and confident Listenin' to the fools, tickling the rules Their obsessions follow 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, unsugared taste Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons 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, unsugared taste Waste away the evening, the afternoon, the afternoons hat Together we'll find something to direct some laughter at.
122	120	The Bad Thing	Do the bad thing Take off your wedding ring But it won't make it That much easier It might make it worse Oh the nights like a whirlwind Somebody's girlfriend's talkin to me But it's alright, she's sayin that He's not gonna slap me or try to attack me He's not the jealous type And I only need to get half an excuse and I'm away But when there's no excuses that's much easier to say I've been before And all these capers makers to good for her to ignore So she's talkin but I'm not entirely sure Do the bad thing Take off your wedding ring But it won't make it That much easier It might make it worse I'm stood at the side And somebody's partner's talkin to me But I don't know that is what she is And she murmors things to confirm That the tragedy is true And I knew how could she not She could have anyone she wants And I was strugglin to think of an immediate response Like "I don't mind Be a big mistake For you to wait And let me waste your time Really love, it's fine" Said "really love, it's 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 I struggled to refuse She said "it's the red wine this time but that is no excuse"
123	121	The Bakery	I wish you would have smiled in the bakery Or sat on a tatty settee At some mutual friend's gathering And the more you keep on looking the more it's hard to take Love, we're in stalemate To never meet it 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 a mind on clever lines Why not the rounder's pitch or the canteen? You're slacking love where have you been? Just had to go and wait until tonight So give me the invite don't worry it's alright I wish I would have seen you down in the arcade Sipping on a lemonade In the 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
124	122	The Blond	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 The particularly 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 Tha' knows And she snapped wing mirrors off a Cadillac The particularly 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 b-flat The blond-o-sonic shimmer trap And she snapped wing mirrors off a Cadillac The particularly pretty one And that meant she never had to strain her back When she was putting her lippy on
125	123	The Car	Your grandfather's guitar Thinking about how funny I must look Trying to adjust to what's been there all along With the boat kiosk lady and her sleepy amigos But it ain't a holiday until You go to fetch something from the car A travel size champagne cork pops And we're sweeping for bugs in some dusty apartment The what's it called café You can arrive at eleven and have lunch with the English But it ain't a holiday until They force you to make a wish They say "climb up this" And "jump off that" And you pretend to fall asleep on the way back No, it ain't a holiday until You go to fetch something from the car
126	124	The Fire And The Thud	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 But 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 laguther And tell you how it feels And does burden come to meet ya If I've questions of the feature that runs on your dream wheel 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 vioce in silences Will the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud? And the jostling crowd You're not allowed to tell the truth And the photobooth's a liar And the sharpened explanations But theres no screaming reason to inquire I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes with things they never see if it smacks in their temples

128	126	The Jeweller's Hands	Fiendish wonder in the carnival's wake Dull caresses once again irritate Tread softly stranger Move over toward the danger that you seek You think excitement has receded Then the mirror distracts The logic of the trance Quickly reaches and grasps Handsome and faceless And weightless, your imagination runs 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 hands 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 Was like falling off the ferry in the night The inevitables gather to push you around Any other voice makes such 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 hands 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
129	127	The Lovers	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 that 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 they feel like velvet in the night and so the night is never ending it's made of distance and pretending because they're special and apart the lovers, the lovers of the heart... the lovers. And when love goes away and when goes... goodbye... catches in their throats like cotton arises 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... arises 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.

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
131	129	The Ultracheese	Still got pictures of friends on the wall I suppose we aren't really friends anymore Maybe I shouldn't ever have called that thing friendly at all Get freaked out from a knock at the door When I haven't been expecting one Didn't that used to be part of the fun, once upon a time? We'll be there at the back of the bar In a booth like we usually were Every time there was a rocket launch or some big event What a death I died writing that song From start to finish, with you looking on It stays between us, Steinway, and his sons Because it's the ultracheese Perhaps it's time that you went for a walk Dressed like a fictional character From a place they called America in the golden age Trust the politics to come along When you were just trying to orbit the sun When you were just about to be kind to someone Because you had the chance I've still got pictures of friends on the wall I might look as if I'm deep in thought But the truth is I'm probably not If I ever was Oh, the dawn won't stop weighing a tonne I've done some things that I shouldn't have done But I haven't stopped loving you once

136	134	Too Much To Ask	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 tune to what they did before Her head's red raw And the ending doesn't sound like The happiest around When you sobbed before it felt much more Like the product of a squabble Now there's reason for it to be something more And no would be, oh, it's uncertain Whether the curtain has shut for good She says, "See if it's still raining 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 Docked in tempestuous bays At least that's how it felt yesterday The eyes are getting heavier And whether you're asleep or awake Is a mystery 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

143	141	Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High?	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, 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, 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 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 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?

146	144	You know i'm no good	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 you, chips and pita You say 'when we're 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 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, you're on the seat Lick your lips as I soak my feet Then you notice little 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 trouble, yeah you know that I'm no good
147	145	You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were L	One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the feeling races Back up to their brains to form expressions on there stupid faces They don't want to say hello Like I want to say hello Well, the heartbeats at its peak when you're coming up to speak And now I'm so tense, never tenser Could all go a bit Frank Spencer? I'm talking gibberish tip of the tongue but I can't deliver it Properly, oh it's all getting on top of me And if it weren't this dark you'd see how red my face has gone yet Everybody's trying to crack the jokes and that to make you smile Those that claim that they're not showing off are drowning in denial They're not half as bad as me say anything and I'll agree Cause when it comes to acting up I'm sure I could write the book And now that you're more than a part in the play It's slightly easier to think what to say You had us all, standing on our heads Doing our best tricks Never again, never again, oh will there be another one quite as desirable as you One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh how the feeling races Back up to their brains to form expressions on there stupid faces
148	146	You're So Dark	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
