The lyrics of Saint Etienne

4:35 In The Morning

Transcribed by Mark Dorset

Hey baby
I've been up all night
Trying to make sense of my life

Day's breaking
Things are getting bright
After all this time

And any fool could see
That you're the best thing
That's happened to me

4:35 in the morning
Everything is clear

4:35 in the morning
I wish that you were here

So lately
I've been coming home
Sleepy, all alone

Don't hate me
Left here on my own
Staring at the phone

And any fool could see
That you're the best thing
That's happened to me

4:35 in the morning
Everything is clear

4:35 in the morning
I wish that you were here

4:35 in the morning
Everything is clear

I hear the phone
It's ringing loud
I'm coming alive

4:35
4:35

Yeah any fool could see
That you're the best thing
That's happenened to me

4:35 in the morning
Everything is clear

4:35 in the morning
Everything is clear

4:35 in the morning
4:35 in the morning
4:35

52 Pilot

Transcribed by Jamie Fletcher

Ooooooohhhhh, oooooooohhhhhhhh.
Ooooooohhhhh, oooooooohhhhhhhh.

Da da dam x6.

You're the pilot, you're the pilot, you're the pilot orahharhh x2.
To my left the course of a string, from it's source in the hills,
winding down to a port by the sea, and on my right there's, a girl on the wing.
( Take control ),you're the pilot, ( you're the pilot ), take control , ( take control. )

Chorus:
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. ( Through out remaining verses. )
You're the pilot, he's the pilot, you're the pilot, oooohhhhhh.
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.
You're the pilot, he's the pilot, you're the pilot, oooohhhhhh.

Repeat Chorus.

7 Ways To Love

Okay, so they're not highly literate lyrics `cause it's a techno-mantra stomp kind of a thing. A vocal sample saying "Seven" forms part of the rhythm loop at times.

Seven ways to love, / seven ways to love, / seven ways to love, / seven ways to love, / yeah! /

is enough to give you the basic idea...

Accident

He's on the phone, / doesn't want to go home. / The hotel life - / forget your wife, / you're on your own. Academia girl; / her life's a gas, / she loves the trash / inside his world. / Can't find his way there, / got the cash, / feeling flash / in Leicester Square. /

(Ooh-ooh) / Yes. / She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / and now he's trying to find / the words to say / Someday. /

It's five to twelve / and she's nervous as hell, / with nothing to lose, / it's hard to choose / it's hard to tell. / And her's is lilac and gold; / the things she has, / she's feeling sad, / she's feeling old. / Skin is dewdrop and warm; / the lipstick kiss, / reminisce, / or wait will dawn. /

(Ooh-ooh) / Yes. / She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / and now he's trying to find / the words to say / Someday. / (Ooh-ooh) / Yes. / She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / and now he's trying to find / the words to say / Someday. /

Et c'est alors que supposement blesse par le commun des mortels, / Qu'en habit pourpre et net, / de mes cendres fictions, / pour l'encore inconnu(e), attendu(e); / Je reserecte encore et encore. / Je reserecte / encore / et encore. /

He's on the phone / and she wants to go home, / shoes in hand, / don't make a sound, / it's time to go /

Ooh-ooh / Yes. / She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / and now he's trying to find / the words to say / Someday. / Ooh-ooh / Yes. / She never meant to call, / she did anyway, / and now he's trying to find / the words to say / Someday, someday, someday. (Ooh-ooh) / Someday, someday, someday.

Afraid To Go Home

Transcribed by Kevin Hung

Hearing tunes in other rooms They stay, they stay like morning rays Summer in sound tumbling down The sun around my face Leaves are green like tambourines A walk, a walk in morning dew Soul in the breeze Places like theses The times I shared with you

Can we slow it down, slow it down I'm afraid to go home I'm afraid to go home Can we slow it down, slow it down Scared of being alone Scared to answer the phone I'm afraid to go home

Ocean view is drowned in blue The waves, the waves against the shore Say I don't care but knowing he's there I'll pour a couple more

Can we slow it down, slow it down I'm afraid to go home I'm afraid to go home Can we slow it down, slow it down I'm afraid to go home I'm afraid to go home

Anymore

Does anyone remember how it used to be? / Don't turn around 'cause you won't see me cry. / I hear the sounds of motorways and aeroplanes. / I'm feeling I've got no more love to give. /

I don't want tomorrow / I don't want the car, / I don't need your money / anymore. / I don't need the moonlight, / I don't want the stars, / I don't need the sunshine / anymore. / I don't want the hotels, / I don't want the bars, / I don't need you calling round here no more. /

Does anyone believe in what you say to them? / Don't turn around, never see me cry. / I can't believe how you've spent you life since then; / wasting time, telling lies and more. /

I don't want tomorrow / I don't want the car, / I don't need your money / anymore. / I don't need the moonlight, / I don't want the stars, / I don't need the sunshine / anymore. / I don't want the hotels, / I don't want the bars, / I don't need you calling round here no more. /

Yeah, no more, / no more, / no more. /

I don't want tomorrow / I don't want the car, / I don't need your money / anymore. / I don't need the moonlight, / I don't want the stars, / I don't need the sunshine / anymore. / I don't want tomorrow / I don't want the car, / I don't need your money / anymore. / I don't want the hotels, / I don't want the bars, / I don't need you calling / anymore. / I don't need nobody / anymore. / I don't need nobody / anymore. / I don't need nobody / anymore...

Archway People

[intro sample on You're In A Bad Way version:] You asked me to make a record of my voice. Well here it is. What you want me to say is "I love you." Here's the truth. I hate you, you little slut. You make me sick!

When you told me your dream (when you told me your dream) / I / wanted to cry. / You almost looked happy (you almost looked happy) / Please don't tell me / it's true. / All our neighbours are old (all our neighbours are old) / street-lamp buzzes all night. / There are some nice parts of London, (there are some nice parts of London) / you can see them from here (you can see them from here, you can see them from here.) /

You're / not going to change, / we're / not moving away. / We're staying here, (staying here.) / We're staying here, (staying here.) /

We both work `til late, / catch / the fifty-eight. / Usually asleep by eleven, (asleep by eleven) / but somehow it didn't seem right / when you turned and said (when you turned and said) / "Let's / go mad tonight." / So we drank and danced; (so we drank and danced) / for once I felt close to you (for once I felt close to you, for once I felt close to you.) /

You're / not going to change. / we're / not moving away. / We're staying here, (staying here.) / We're staying here, (staying here.) / We're staying here, (staying here.) / We're staying here, (staying here.) / We're staying here, (staying here.) / We're staying here, (staying here.) / We're staying here, (staying here...)

Are We Gonna Be Alright

Transcribed by Michael Krechmer

Is there a better way/ Than what we know of?/ Anger's wailing through the dead of nighttime too/ Do we know better ways/ Than what we're showing?/ Locked up breaking through the shadows' arms/

Are we gonna be alright?/ Are we gonna be alright?/ Some are never gonna get as close/ As we have learned to/ And even if they might/ We'll end up alright/ Summer's never gonna be the same again/

We never felt it once/ The breath of heaven/ Swept away the halos from my mind/ And still you talk of him/ As being greater/ No one's ever gonna reach this high/

Are we gonna be alright?/ Are we gonna be alright?/ Some are never gonna get as close/ As we have learned to/ And even if they might/ We'll end up alright/ Summer's never gonna be the same again/

Are we gonna be alright?/ Are we gonna be alright?/ Some are never gonna get as close/ As we have learned to/ And even if they might/ We'll end up alright/ Summer's never gonna be the same again (Summer's never gonna be the same again)/ Summer's never gonna be the same again/ You know summer's never gonna be the same/

Aussie Soap Girl

Transcribed by Rene Rojas

You hurt me from the first time
You ever said goodbye
The lamplight isn't shining anymore
Since you made me cry

Is this love
Could have fooled me

I never liked your friends that much
I thought they were insane
We used to go out dancing all the time
Isn't it a shame

Is this love
Could have fooled me

You've working on the tv
You never miss a day
I haven't seen your face for a while
We're better off this way

Is this love
Could have fooled me

Been So Long

Transcribed by Kevin Hung

I knew when you Came around here to see me You'd stay here till the morning Can't stop myself from falling In love with you You know we'll never be the same

Been so long It's been so long I'm tired of being alone There's a way to go Honey I know now I'm calling you on the phone

Pretending nothing has changed here But strangely familiar tracks are falling You came without a warning I'm glad you're here To take these lonely tears away

Been so long It's been so long I'm tired of being alone There's a way to go Honey I know now I'm calling you on the phone On the phone

Been so long It's been so long I'm tired of being alone There's a way to go Honey I know now I'm calling you on the phone On the phone On the phone

Boy Is Crying

Transcribed by Jeremiah Hayes

boy is it coming to me
lotta bodies i don't know
hoped i could get some sleepin'
hope that they will go

that boy is crying
forget about the lying
he's not singing
cause his ears are ringing

i've gotta hit the sheets again
gotta catch an hour before i go
down to the streets beneath me
out into the crowd below
take me to the outer reaches
rock me to and fro

this boy is crying
fed up with the lying
i'm not singing
cause my eyes are stinging

get me on a roll again
look me in the eye and flash your smile
flash your smile

???

Burnt Out Car

transcription courtesy of Scott Seymour

A simple / good morning / Or hello would have done / The silence / 10 am / Not my idea of fun / The papers / the photos / Things were found in the fire /

Chorus: Something that you said / The look upon your face / Something in the way you hold me / I know what they say / I know what this means / I know that you never told me /

A change of hair colour / Clairol Baby-Blond / I'm not quite used to it / It never takes too long / No makeup / No earrings / Nothing to identify me /

Chorus

Repeat chorus several times...

Calico

[The "Calico" bits are Sarah and the rest is Q-Tee.]

Dreamin' / that you are in my world, / wishin' / like a little girl. / Watchin', / closely, / you suddenly appear. / Like a dream, / you're gone, then you're here. / You take to emotion / like a bird to flight. / You drop an invitation, / maybe I just might / be your lover / or better / a friendly / aquaintance. / Truly as I duly pay my love to you like maintenance. /

Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. /

You're realistic, / your face conceal. / Accentuate the passion. / I will reveal. / You're like an angel that delights with the day. / I'm pleadin' / don't ever go away, / story's reaching peak / the outlook is bleak. / Please talk, say that you'll speak. / You're strong and I am weak. / I need / the fortune at the end of the rainbow. / I see you like a lantern - / you have a certain glow. / Calico. / Your smile is warm soft, / forever / appealing. / Whenever you are present like a letter I am sealing. / My love / like a dove / that blesses from above. / The shower in an hour / won't you let me be your towel? / Calico. / Affection / affects you like a weapon. / You're extreme and supreme / and nothing that you seem. / A fateful chance / with a twist of hope. / I'll be with you all the way / down the magical slope.

Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. /

Babe, don't be afraid, / I'm wit' you everywhere. / Gliding through enchanted waters / to you I swear. / Expression is the key, / it's good enough for me. / Cali can't you see, / forever yours? / There's a feeling / of warmth, / a serious / sensation. / It's true, / you have that / good vibration. Your charm is overwhelming, you have reaches that I seldom see, / Calico just let me be the one! /

Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. / Calico, / Calico, / Calico, / Calico. /

Calico. / I see / that we were meant to be. / Goin' in ???

[outro samples:] I never take of my hat except when I'm out of doors! She made a prize from Jenkins' ear, / and washed it down with a bottle of beer.

California Snow Story

[intro sample on You're In A Bad Way version:] We've even had to change our name now, to "Revival".

Sing with a sound so soft / ??? you sang for me(?). / Sing so slowly, / sing so softly. /

??? / ??? / ??? / ??? /

Pull back the blinds, / catch the falling snow. / Twenty-first of June; / it's Christmas in my soul. /

Ooh... / Slowly, softly, / softly, slowly, / softly, slowly, / softly, slowly... /

[spoken:] I think I'll just / let the music play... /

Can't Stop Now

Transcribed by Rene Rojas

So I had a little time put aside
The whole damn kiss made me feel alive
Uh huh, uh huh

Oooh
Don't you analyse
Oooh
What you feel inside

You can't stop now
And though you say you're had enough
Honey stop the train I'm getting off
No, you can't stop now
Are out of your mind

I'm daydreaming that
Love is cool
Angels leaving and I'm the fool
No you can't stop now that you've started

Jessie's always out drinking and getting high
But you're all I need to get by
Uh huh, Uh huh

Don't you realise
Got to let it slide

Carnt Sleep

You know the hurt's / so deep / that I can't sleep or eat, / and what I'm hoping for / is to feel your kisses sweet. / If we could just talk / things might be a little more clear. / I really need the chance / to explain the way I feel. /

I can't sleep (can't sleep), / thinking of you constantly, / I can't sleep (can't sleep), / wishing you were here with me. / I can't sleep (can't sleep / where are you please(?)) /

When I get home from work, / sit down and watch TV, / The night falls / just like a bad dream. /

I can't sleep (can't sleep), / thinking of you constantly, / I can't sleep (can't sleep), / wishing you were here with me. / I can't sleep (can't sleep / where are you please(?)) /

I can't sleep (can't sleep), / thinking of you constantly, / I can't sleep (can't sleep), / wishing you were here with me. / I can't sleep (can't sleep / where are you please(?)) /

Chicken Soup

[a sample:] Can I take your order? Urrrmm, I'll have bacon, eggs, tomatoes, two toast and a cup of tea, please. And you? Chicken soup!

Choc Stock

These are lyrics to the Fall version of the song courtesy of Arjan Plug. The Etienne version that I've heard has some minor variations, but it isn't in any way official, so we'll stick to these for now!

Pop-Stock, mix my pop-stock. / Pop-Stock, mix my pop-stock. / Pop-Stock, mix my pop-Stock. /

We like pop-stick stickers, / we like weak TV. / We like the chocolate animals; / we eat poor little piggies. /

Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock. / Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock. / Pop-stock, try my pop-stock. / Pop-stock, buy my pop-stock. /

Now all the bourgeoisie, / they hate our crazy scene / 'cause we dig pop [...] stickers / and we like weak TV. /

But the pop-stock sale assistants / are beyond their control. / They stayed at school / and tolerate bad manners. /

Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock. / Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock. / Pop-stock, try my pop-stock. / Pop-stock, buy my pop-stock. /

Now come on kids, / let's get this thing together. / Let's get this thing together / and make it bad. / We don't need this three chords / and big boots and cosmic trash... / uh... / He's bust his guitar! /

Let's get this thing together. / Forget Lee Cooper! / Let's get this thing together. /

Why are you smiling? / Why are you laughing / At or with this song? / It's not like your scene, your scene. /

Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock. / Pop-stock, mix my pop-stock. / Pop-stock, try my pop-stock. / Pop-stock, buy my pop-stock. /

Coastal Town

Transcribed by Rene Rojas

Goodbye dark sky
And slow trains that roll by
And grey skies that mark my
Chances i've passed by

It sounds like eternity
It sounds like eternity

In a coastal town, after the rain
You're my brightest star, you're my best friend
In a coastal town after the rain
You're my brightest start, we met at the start

My heart is a goldmine, from a land that's lost
Seeing a dream fade, I sailed off course

It sounds like eternity
It sounds like eternity

In a coastal town, after the rain
You're my brightest star, you're my best friend
In a coastal town, after the rain
You're my brightest star, you're my best friend

I talk to you and it feels all the same
One more minute's enough to pretend
And if I ever want to see him again
Just close my eyes and think back to the end

After the rain
After the rain

So I talk to you and it still feels the same
One more minute's enough to pretend
And if I ever want to see him again
Just close my eyes and wait 'til the end

A coastal town
After the rain

A coastal town
After the rain

In a coastal town
Still feels the same

A coastal town
After the rain

After the rain

After the rain

Desert Baby

Transcribed by Rene Rojas

That motor man is on the run
Feel the wind feel the sun
I find, I find now
When you're running take a gun

Cos every night
Every day
Every second you're away
I'm in a desert baby
Don't make me wait
Every night
Every day
Every second you're away
Feels like a desert baby
Come home to stay

Living in the Heart Land, it's allright
See the posh boys out tonght
I find, I find yeah
If you quarrel then you fight

Do It All

Transcribed by Parks Westbrook

Right now I feel the need for some attention
Been kicking my heels in need of some affection
Been wasting so much time
Now I'm looking out for number one
I drank a little wine
and I've only just begun
but you never thought I'd call
and i want to do it all now baby
Last night I heard about your reputation
Get over here and give me some explanation
Been wasting so much time
Now I'm looking out for number one
I drank a little wine
and I've only just begun
but you never thought I'd call
and I want to do it all now baby
said I want to do it all
I want to do it all

Don't Back Down

Transcribed by Jeremiah Hayes and Jamie Fletcher

just as i walked away
i turned to hear you say
the words nearly got carried away by the wind
but i could make out this much:
don't back down
don't back down this time
brown eyes inside i cry
don't back down
don't back down this time
sometimes i wonder why

knocked down in Fortis Green your mother hated me
caught in a car outside the Odeon
and rain pouring down the windscreen
don't back down
don't back down this time
brown eyes inside i cry
don't back down
don't back down this time
sometimes i wonder why

that summer felt so long
i never felt so strong
and then a sudden feeling that i might never see you again
don't back down
don't back down this time
brown eyes inside i cry
don't back down
don't back down this time
sometimes i wonder why

don't back down
don't back down this time

Down by the Sea No-one but me Caught in the rain I'm free again Stood on the pier No trace of tears Right back where I started from I know that I wasn't wrong Right back where I started from [repeat] Note that remix, The Sea on Continental is instrumental.

Down Town

Transcribed by Anja Degerholm

When you're alone and life is making you lonely / You can always go / Down town / When you've got worries all the noise and the hurries / Seems the help I know / Down Town / Just listen to the music after traffic in the city / Linger round the sidewalk were the neonsigns are pretty / How can you lose / The lights are much brighter there / You can forget all your troubles / forget all your cares / And go / Down Town / Things will be great when you're / Down Town / No final place for sure / Down Town / Everything's waiting for you / Down Town / Don't hang around and let your problems surround you / There are movieshows / Down Town / Maybe you know some little places to go to where they never close / Down Town / Just listen to the rythm of the gentle Bossanova / You'll be dancing with him soon / Before the night is over / Happy again / The lights are much brighter there / You can forget all your troubles / forget all your cares / And go / Down Town / Where all the lights are bright / Down Town / Waiting for you tonight / Down Town / You're gonna be alright now / Down Town / Down Town / And you may find somebody kind to help you (?) understanding / Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand / To guide them(?) along / So maybe I'll see you there / We can forget all our troubles / forget all our cares / And go / Down Town / Things will be great when you're / Down Town / Don't wait a minute for / Down Town / Everything's waiting for you / Down Town / Down Town / Down Town / Down Town / Down Town /

dream home
in downey, california
palm trees
the sound of karen carpenter
mother's holding baby
baby's getting restless now
looking for her mother
looking for her mother

you don't, don't want to believe him now
don't want to
don't want to see him

eyes closed
asleep in a crystal hideaway
i stand
they used to take the head away
if she could tell the story
frozen on her lips today
she could tell her daughter
she could tell her daughter

you want, want to believe him now
you'll never
you'll never feel

la-la-la-la-la-la

you want, you want to believe him now
you'll never see

Driving Home For Christmas

Transcribed by Nicola

I'm driving home for Christmas, oh, I can't wait to see those faces. I'm driving home for Christmas, yeah, well I'm moving down the line.

And it's been so long, but I will be there; I sing this song to pass the time away

Driving home for Christmas top to toe in tailbacks. Oh, I caught red lights on the run, get my feet on snowy ground.

So I sing for you, though you can hear me when I get through and feel you near me.

I'm driving home for Christmas with a thousand memories. I'm driving home for Christmas, I look at the driver next to me; he's just the same.

Duke Duvet

[intro sample on You're In A Bad Way version:] Where is your respirator? Nicked. Hm? Captain - kiss tell. WHAT?

[The song is an instrumental]

[outro sample on You're In A Bad Way version:] Each year at this time, five-and-twenty past two, I'm peculiarly partial to a drop of traditional spong-bake. Purchase or hire thirty-eight ripe spongs. Wheel them home, and shoot them. Then simply bake them, and eat them once. The end.

Dutch TV

Translation at the end by Bruno Schmidt & Kristine Clement

One night in never land
Checking out the Amsterdam scene
Got a room from some old guy
Outside the rocking machine

Don't know who you are
But you can't come in
Turn the TV down
Kick the TV in

All pictures scattered round
All soaked in alcohol
Next thing the lights go out
I heard a bang on the wall

Don't know who you are
But you can't come in
Turn the TV down
Kick the TV in

Turn the TV down
Kick the TV in

København

Karsten Farum har talt med forfatteren Maria Seleberg

Mens Betina stadig sover, lister hun ud af sengen, og går ud i den aflange
smalle stue, som vender ud imod søerne. Lyset har endnu ikke nået rummet,
men udenfor er verden hektisk, folk er på vej. Søerne er grå og stille.
Der er ingen fugle på bredden. På stien bag den nedklippede hæk går folk og
taler højlydt sammen. Hun, som ellers altid har stuvet sig selv af vejen på
fjerde sal, er blevet forandret på jorden. De burde være tilfredse. Men
den stille morgen uden forstyrelser er det bedste hun længe har oplevet.
Der er meget at kræve af sig selv dag efter dag, at leve sammen med et andet
menneske, at tillade en fremmed at være i sit hjem i sit liv.

Translation from Danish to English:

Copenhagen

Karsten Farum has spoken with the author, Maria Seleberg;

While Betina is still sleeping, she quietly gets out of bed and goes out
into the oblong, small living room, which faces the lakes. Light hasn't
entered the room yet, but the world outside is hectic, people are busy on
their way. The lakes are grey and quiet. There aren't any birds on the
shore. On the sidewalk behind the low-clipped hedge, the people walk and
talk loudly. She, who has always hidden herself on the fourth floor, has
been changed. They ought to be satisfied. But the quiet morning without
distractions is the best she has experienced in a long time. It is a lot to
ask of yourself day after day to live together with another person -- to
allow a stranger to be in your house, in your life.

Erica America

Transcribed by Kevin Hung

Hair in curls Not quite as tall as the other girls I'd ran away from the laughter upstairs Wear high heels and I cut my hair Try to conceal so tired of their small town games Whistle a tune of a horse with no name Hang around by the stadium Drinking a wine like a bowery bum

Erica let's go out tonight Staying out till the morning light Erica let's go out tonight Everything's gonna be alright

Diamond Joe He took my watch and my stereo I wished I hadn't got a permanent wave Can't show my face at the town arcade Can't stand that place anyway

Tired of their small town games Whistle a tune of I gotta see Jane yeah Read the stars of an Aries girl Wear the crown in another world

Etienne Gonna Die

You only call? Well, let's go visit Mr. More. Your eight hundred, and I'll raise twenty-five hundred bucks. I can't stand it South. I'm going south. South Street Seaport, the man says. Can't stand the heat, you can't stand it. You wanna play cards? The bet is two and a half thou. The bet? I'll tell you what the bet is. And I'll raise you six thousand dollars. You son of a bitch, you've been steamrolling over me all night! What are you trying to tell me? One card, you've got a flush, a full, what? I think you're bluffing, pal. I think you're trying to buy it. Then you're going to have to give me some respect, or give me some money. I think you're bluffing. What are you, Joe Capp? I didn't ask what you think. Raise, call, or fold. I should raise your ass. But I'm just gonna call. My marker's good for the money. What is this marker? Where are you from? Where am I from? I'm from the United States Of Kiss My Ass!

Everything I Touch Turns To Gold

[intro sample:] Ee-ehhh, you be nice without long hair. Now is cool, mmm? But your friend, I think they not recognise you...

There's a story: / I was a lonely girl, / going nowhere / in a dead end world, / but now I'm moving / this is my day today, / now I'm a good thing / I'm gonna get my way. / So won't you stop now / and take a look at me, / 'cause I'm everything / that a girl should be, / and if you ask me/ you know I'm not sure why / I just decided / I've got to touch the sky /

[Sarah:] "I am tired and I'm bored,", he said. / "and I've got kinks in my bed. / This work, how I hate it, I'd much rather play, / nothing to do, but I do need a rest." /

[whispered:] Let's just get started and make a mess...

Morton stood up and said "What's that? / It's the fifteenth of May, and I'm cold, and I'm wet." / He turned without stopping / and smiled to the pilot. People weather the terrible storm. /

A distant space ???

[Stephen:] A scene from a film circa 1982. We drove down George Street, en route to Wendy's. Glenn Campbell was on the radio singing about cleaning his gun and dreaming of Galveston. "What's this?" she said. "It's Hall & Oates or nothing for me."

Of course, this was pre-House Nation and I asked her "What is anyone going to remember this decade for?" She paused for a second, then said: "Waffle cardigans, Wentworth jail, rah-rah skirts straight out of Hell, Andrew ??? and BMX bikes, Chernenko and miners' strikes, Nikky Kershaw and Red Ken, Peter Tatchell and Dirty Den, Mark King slapped his bass, and early issues of The Face, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Margaret Thatcher, Toto Coelo, and Spycatcher, E.T., Arthur, Elmo's Fire, not a patch on Billy Liar, Phil Redmond and Transformers, Tin-Tin Duffy in leg-warmers, Stu Damer, evil Tel, Roger Hebert, what a pal, Steven Waldorf, Jerry Gross, Do The Hucklebuck by Coast To Coast, Steve Blacknell on the telly, the classic beard of Altobelli, Leon Klinghofer, baby duck(?), blonde highlights, flourescent sock, Steve Lynex and Gordon Smith, Martin Fry grew a quiff, Haysi Fantayzee, Videotech, Shakey drove us crazy, what the heck, Hazel O'Connor in Breaking Glass, Gripper Stebson's in the class."

And I said, "I don't remember any of that. If you can remember the '80s you weren't there. Uh, you know, I remember Scott Crolla in his Furry Freak Brothers t-shirt, if that's anything."

Jumping the chitz(?) as I speak out, / wondering what it's all about, / wishing I was only a dream / and I wasn't so extreme. / Gonna make you see I'm not faking it / like all the others that be making it. / Ecstatic, and stating the facts; / take heed to my extracts. /

Following the paths of me, / eat 'til you fill your greed. / Feeding on my knowledge like a cake, / the smell of truth as I bake. / Some goals / you will achieve; / no loss or debt to believe; / believe me, I wouldn't lie, / for my question / I need your reply. /

Earning respect from the crowd / as expression of my meaning comes loud, / bringing it all across / so as you know who's boss. / This is not a media hype - / maybe I'm just not that type. / My rhymes that'll lift you like a drug, / like a mat, I'll be your rug. /

Whatever / that you say, / I'll never / turn you away. / You don't know me / as you are, / my mind is / what you have caught. / Touch me, / take my hand. / Hold on tight, / as tight as you can, / I'll be with you / all the way. / I'm asking you / won't you stay? / It's your reality. /

Find Me A Boy

have been steadily falling in love
oh how I wish it could happen to me
and I'm asking the stars up above

won't you find me a boy, just a nice looking boy
who will show me the way, who will teach me to say
"I love you, yes I do", and who'll promise me too
that he'll always be true, so that I'll never be blue

I just wish for a gentle boy
someone who's sweet and kind
just a nice sentimental boy
that's all that I'm really longing to find

so many friends that I happen to see
have been telling me all about love
oh how I wish it could happen to me
is the only thing I'm thinking of

so I'll find me a boy, just a nice looking boy

Goodnight Jack

We hadn't had our tea for long When you said there's something wrong Can I take this once again You know I'd like to be a friend

Behind the wheel of my Capri It seems it like no-ones noticed me And now you're coming out from work And deep inside I feel so hurt

I saw the people crowding round You didn't move or make a sound Sky so overcast and grey And something happened here today

She's got to run Run away from home You know she's gotta run Run away from home She's got to run You know she's gotta run Run away from home

Hit The Brakes

Transcribed by Jamie Fletcher and Jason Flynn

She's waking up,
the mirror says
that her hairs
getting far too long.

A coffee cup,
to start the day,
better make sure
it's good and strong.

To get her through.
Got things to do.
And now that the clock says eight,
can't be late,
so hit the brakes.

Lost all your friends
they'd had enough,
couldn't watch
while you killed yourself.
And you pretend
you gave them up,
for a lifetime of cars and wealth

Misunderstood.
Don't feel so good.
Another the clock says eight,
can't be late
so hit the brakes.
I said hit the brakes.

Hobart Paving

[intro sample (on the album):] Do you think a girl should go to bed with a feller, if she doesn't love him? No. [pause] Unless it's me.

I heard she drove the silvery sports-car /
along the empty streets last night. /
Hanging around / with hair-dos like mine. /
No, I haven't seen the kids for some time. /

Picked up her shoes from the red-brick stairway, /
just like a harpsichordist she moved. /
And back upstairs / at half past two, /
with a paper folded, outside the loo. /

Rain falls / like Elvis tears. /
Oh no, / no sugar tonight. /
Out on the high street, / dim all the lights and /
cry coloured tears again. /

And baby, / (Don't forget to catch me.) /
don't forget to catch me. / (Don't forget to catch me.) /
Hobart paving, don't you think that's it's time, /
on this platform with the drizzle in my eyes? /
And baby, / (Don't forget to catch me.) /
don't forget to catch me. / (Don't forget to catch me.) /
Hobart paving, don't you think that's it's time? /
The ticket's in my hand, the train pulls down the line. /

Rain falls / like Elvis tears. /
Oh no, / no sugar. /
Out on the high street, / dim all the lights and /
cry coloured tears. /

And baby, / (Don't forget to catch me.) /
don't forget to catch me, / (Don't forget to catch me.) /

Home

I walk home everyday from my jobs And the pay's not so good To two rooms, it's not that much, where I keep my stuff But I call it home Caroline whispers every Monday morning....

I wish that he'd come home I wish that he'd come home I wish that he'd come home I wish that he'd come home

Lunch break, Prescott Street, where the people meet And life seems so good They're like the 45's When I dream I'm dreaming of you Watching tv every Friday evening

Just like you were home Just like you were home Just like you were home Just like you were home

I'm alright if you're alright I'm alright if you're alright

Caroline whispers every Monday morning Looking out her window At the snow shapes falling

I wish that he'd come home I wish that he'd come home I wish that he'd come home I wish that he'd come home (fadeout)

How We Used To Live

Transcribed by N. Mitchell

A rose scented June
A rose he pulled in June
They're full upon the lawn
The doctor came at dawn

An old daily care
And Suzie Banana Stand
Through frosted windowpane
Your father's middlename
>From a train
And everywhere the snow falls
Sail away (x4)

A veil (pale(?)) faded blue
A Ruben's old curfew(?)
One windy Winter's day
A Windsor market day
People say
Everywhere the snow falls
Sail away (x8)

She's moving down the seaside
'Cause that's where he comes from
He gave away all of her records
Is that where she belongs?

Better think it through
Remember who
Is there something new?
Or is it you again?

Sail away (x12)

So take your red gown
And go down to the dam
To do as you please
On the streets of your town

The whistling kind
Shake it out of your mind
It could be the day
When you finally say
Sail away (x6)
On and on (x7)

Sarah speaks (2 lines missing):
Up the riverbank, land that dried up
The causeway full of nice cars
The sand a distant dream
_____________ (?) ______________
_____________ (?) ______________
Across the riverbank
Cross the riverbank, don't look back

Background sings:
To sail away
And on and on

Sarah sings:
I sail, you sail
I sail, you sail
Do you remember how? (x4)
Do you remember how we used to live? (x3)

If You Leave Me

Transcribed by Rene Rojas

I couldn't hurt you
And I won't desert you
But I haven't got the time
To say that I love you
Said I haven't got the time

Oooh when I'm calling you boy
And you say you're leaving home

If you leave me
Oooh
If you leave me
Oooh
If you leave
Pease don't go away, yeah

If you leave
And there's one thing you know I can't say

And after last night
You wanted a fight
But I haven't got the time

At the Copper Horse you held my hand
When you told me I never blinked
A cigarette and I begin to think

Jack Lemmon

Transcribed by Gary Lancaster II

I'm here waiting
Anticipating
Life without you

Been up drinking
But I'm still thinking
About you
Yes it's true

Every day
In every way
What can a girl do
Without you

I keep falling in love
And you're breaking my heart
I know that it's wrong
But where do I start?
It's the end of the day
I'm here alone
And you're so far away

Two years later
I still don't hate her
What can I do
About you (c'est tres beau une femme qui pleure)

You're what I want
You're what I need
Don't ever change
Honey please
You took me on (?)
To get me up (?)
And then forgot (?)
It's just enough
I couldn't live
Without you there
It means a lot
This sweet affair
I'll make a wish
About you and me
We'll feel like this
For eternity

I keep falling in love
And you're breaking my heart
I know that it's wrong
But where do I start?
It's the end of the day
I'm here alone
And you're so far away

Judy, Don't You Worry

Transcribed by Mun-Hou Lo

September evening's gone
I've done another year
Found a new career
Had to move to London

Wearing clothes like summer rain
Running for the train
Boston Day parade

Chorus:
Climbing up the stairs
Hope that you were there
Judy, don't you worry
Hold on, hold on
Judy, what's the hurry?
Hold on, hold on for now

Cried again the day you left
The sun was going down
Called the Lost and Found
For the last time

Repeat Chorus
Hold on, hold on
Repeat Chorus
Hold on, hold on to love
To love

Many thanks to Severine for this. My french isn't good enough to punctuate what she sent, so here it is verbatim. No accents, as I can't work out how to do them in a way that reads nicely for everybody.

Hello, (hello, hello...) /

immergee dans la nuit de lave / etoile filante et nue sans entraves / dans le chaos / se tord s'etire / et se dehanche / luisant dans sa tenue elastique / et je tombe patatras / dans la vapeur super-tropicale / je suis celui qui te bois et qui te devore / ou tu veux, / quand tu veux? /

ces petits seins pharaoniques / dansant comme des balles de plastiques / tracent des huits, des hierogliphes / sur ma cervelle en ebulition / et soudain j'entends crier les lions / les noirs jaguars et les gibbons mignons / j'entends claquer / l'armee des fouets / la, / tout pres / dans la foret /

[Sarah & Etienne duet for the chorus:] la jungle / de temps dehors / la jungle / in and out / je pulse / et pulse encore / je pulse / in and out / garde / par les phares / empoisonne / du soleil noire /

je pulse et pulse encore /

Durbba durbba duhr, / badurbba durbba duhr, / badurbba durbba duhr, / badurbba durbba duhr. /

c'est le moment de la fusino / toutes les hormones en communication / dans le magma interlope / en aveugle nyctalope / colles au plaf' roulant des pelles / nous prenont feu eternelle / dans un halo blanc / electrique / dans un frisson / pre-orgastique /

[Here is a translation into English by Lisa Munns (thanks, Lisa) who disclaims: "These are not word-for-word, in some cases a little of my own interpretation has been added. I've tried to make them make sense as much as is possible. The verb "pulser", which is what I presume "je pulse" comes from is not in my large dictionary. I think maybe it is something like "thrust" as the 2nd verse in primarily about sex and the chorus contains the words "in and out"......any help? Also, I'm really not sure about that starred line, the verse says "colles au plaf'...", which is a shortening of a word beginning with "plaf..", and I don't know what it is, so I took it to be ceiling....."]

Moving in the night of lava/ lava night Shotting stars and darkness without hindrance In the chaos, twisting and stretching, and swaying/wiggling your hips Shiny in your stretchy clothing And I fall, crashing, into the tropical air I am that which you drink and that you devour Where do you want it, when do you want it? These little pharaonic ("pharaoh like") breasts Dance like plastic balls Tracing figure-of-eights, hierogliphics On my brain, excited/ feverish And I suddenly hear the lions roar The black jaguars (ie panthers) and cute gibbons I hear cracking, the army of whips There, nearby, in the forest CHORUS The jungle-of limitless time The jungle-in and out I thrust, and thrust again I thrust, in and out Guarded by the lights Poisoned by the black sun I thrust, and thrust again It's the moment of merging/ fusion All hormones in communication In the mixed-up jumble Blinded by night-vision *Glued to the ceiling, rolling by the dozen* - I am highly unsure about this translation! We take the eternal flame In a circle of light, electric In a pre-orgasmic shudder

Junk The Morgue

You can look at the stars, / look at the ocean; / the answer's somewhere, / here's what I reckon: / close your eyes, / kiss the future, / junk the morgue. /

Ooh... /

Close your eyes, / kiss the future, / junk the morgue. / Close your eyes, / kiss the future, / junk the morgue. /

Ooh... /

Close your eyes, / kiss the future, / junk the morgue. / (Junk, junk, junk...) /

Just A Little Overcome

space exploration is a noble thing
it's a noble thing if we'd only try
arranging mountains is just mud and water
it's just mud and water and the passing of time
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

overcome
just a little
high on a hillside
with the sun in my eyes
overcome
just a little
free from the city
with the snow at my side

walked the street as it becomes a river
and the cars are shining in the morning sun
travel sideways till the (?)
and all those rocketmen days are over and done

overcome
just a little
high on a hillside
with the sun in my eyes
overcome

La La La

Transcribed by Jamie Fletcher

I wake up every morning, and there before my eyes.
I find my little darling, sighing good looking sighs.
I kiss his nice face, good morning sir !
He smiles and pulls me closer, says it's me he's living for.

Chorus;
La la la la, la la la, la la la.
I feel his arms wrapped around me.
La la la la, la la la, la la la.
He gives me love, la la la.

He comes every evening, for sure work gets him down.
But right there in the doorway, you know he aint got no frown.
My heart begins to bump, I open the door.
He takes me in his arms, hey !, how could ask for anything more ?

Chorus x4.

La Poupee Qui Fait Non (No, No, No, No, No)

I give her my love, / she says "No, no, no, / no," / and I give her my heart, / she says "No, no, no, / no, / `cause your / only a friend to me, / more like a brother to me." /

She's a pretty little girl / who says "No, no, no, / no," / just a little girl, / and she knows I love her so, / If I / ask her to walk with me, / she shakes her head at me. /

She's a pretty little doll / who says "No, no, no, / no," / all the night-time through, / she says "No, no, no, / no." / If I / ask her to walk with me, / I know she'll never say "Oui." /

Le Baiser Francais

My thanks to Sabrina Communier for this transcription

Tu aimes les baisers francais Parfaits, profonds Qui font vasciller tes defenses, ta raison J'entrouve les portes de ma prison Et t'offre le choix entre deux options Te consommer, te consumer Et contre toute attente te faire plonger Contre toute attente te faire plonger

Tu aimes les baisers francais Et les frissons Exercer sur d'autres une fascination Pour te jouer de mes illusions Tu m'offres le choix entre deux tensions M'attirer, me repousser Et contre toute attente me faire plonger Contre toute attente te faire plonger

Tu aimes les baisers francais Et les garcons J'aime provoquer des perturbations Aller voir ailleurs dans d'autres dimensions Pour ne pas se perdre une conclusion Se pardonner, se pardonner Et contre toute attente se retrouver Contre toute attente se retrouver Contre toute attente se retrouver Contre toute attente se retrouver Contre toute attente se retrouver

You love french kisses Perfect, deep That make you weaken your defenses, your reasoning I part the gates of my prison And offer you the choice of 2 options To consume you, to consume you And against all attempts you plunge in Against all attempts you plunge in. you love french kisses And the shivers/shudders To exert on others a fascination For you to play with my illusions You offer me the choice between 2 relations to attract me, to push my back And against all odds you make me plunge Against all odds you make me plunge You love french kisses And boys I love to arouse disturbance to go to see elsewhere in other dimensions To not get lost in a conclusion to forgive oneself, to forgive oneself Against all attempts to forgive oneself Against all attempts to forgive oneself Against all attempts to forgive oneself Against all attempts to forgive oneself.

Leafhound

[intro sample:] I wish they wouldn't laugh.

I've been driving for some time / and the towns look the same. / This town feels very different, / as though I've been here before. / This looks like the old school-yard where we both used to play. / and the kids in that building, / they look just like our friends. /

Something about / this place / makes me lose a grip on time and space. / I haven't seen you for years, / but I feel you could be here right now. / And I know it's strange, / yes I know it's strange, / that you could be here with me now. /

Days spent staring at highways, / strange effects on the brain. / I can tell I'm not dreaming, / I know I'm wide awake! / I'm sure I saw the theatre / that burnt down in `83 - / and I followed the Harley / that had your number-plate. /

Something about this place / makes me lose a grip on time and space. / I haven't seen you for years, / but I feel you could be here right now. / And I know it's strange, / yes I know it's strange, / that you could be here with me now. /

Like A Motorway

Transcribed by Mark Dorset

He's gone, / he's gone. /

She wears sad jeans / torn at the waistband. / Her pretty face / is stained with tears. / And in her right hand / she clasps a letter; / I know this means / that he has gone. /

And in this town / of mis-guided tourists, / she never thought / she'd fall in love. / It was a few days / after her birthday, / The thrill hostess / gave her first kiss. /

He said her skin / smelled just like petals, / said stupid things / he knew she'd like. / She said her life / was like a motorway: / Dull, grey, and long / 'til he came along. /

He's gone, / he's gone. /

I said "How could / he ever leave you? / You two were good, / you were so right." / She said "I wish / that he just left me; / He'd be alive, / alive tonight." /

He's gone, / he's gone. / He's gone, / he's gone. / He's gone, / he's gone.

Like The Swallow

She's like the swallow / that flies so high. / She's like the river / that never runs dry. / She's like the sunshine on the lea-shore, / I love my love, and love is no more. /

It's out of roses / she made her bed. / A stolen pillow / for her head. / She's like the sunshine on the lea-shore, / I love my love, and love is no more. /

London Belongs To Me

Took a tube to Camden Town, / Walked down Park Way, and settled down / in the shade of a willow tree, / someone hovering over me. /

Close my eyes, / breathe out slowly. / Today the sunshine (sunshine) loves me only /

To the sound of the World of Twist / you leant over, and gave me a kiss. / It's too warm to even hold hands, / but that won't stop us from making plans. /

Close our eyes, / breathe out slowly. / Today London (London) loves us only. /

Do you ever wonder where we've been? / Do you ever wonder where we're going? / Just close your eyes. / Just close your eyes. / Just close your eyes (close your eyes), / and breathe out slowly (breath out slowly). / Tonight the world (the world) loves you only. /

Just close your eyes. / Just close your eyes. / Just close your eyes. / Just close your eyes.

Lose That Girl

Transcribed by Kevin Hung

She walked out on you last Saturday Under the wheels Of a crowd on main street USA Know how it feels

She said cancel everything And like a fool You never see what's happening She dropped out school

Get away let her go Let her go now Hey in your brain Yeah you know Let her go now

I should have told you To lose that girl I should have told you That's not your world

On her radio she turned the disco down Disco down

Lover Plays The Bass

Transcribed by Jamie Fletcher

Let me put you in the mood, let me try to break on through. You know that I will. Let me take you back again, let me climb aboard that train, leave time standing still.

Chorus - Listen while her lover plays the bass, lets groove a little now. Listen while her lover plays the bass, lets groove a little now.

As you slowly play your tune, an your smoke fills up the room. I'm closing my eyes, an the radio's still on, an I'm dreaming of song. I feel hypnotised.

Chorus x 4.

So lets groove a little now. Let's groove a little now.

Madeleine

Transcribed by Mun-Hou Lo

I've never been to Rome But I don't need to go I don't need to go to know Life would be sweet and slow

The traffic sign; the washing line Down Holloway Road she goes, wasting time

Just a little sleep I need some dreams to keep To keep my mind from running through The stupid things I do

The shopping's done; the kettle's on And if he calls today I may come undone

Madeleine, could you explain? Madeleine, did she mention my name?

Somewhere in the East A caravan rolled on The waters flowed on through the town The rain fell on everyone

Madeleine, could you explain? Madeleine, did she mention my name? Madeleine, could you explain? Madeleine, did she mention my name?

Do-do-do-do-do...

Memo To Pricey

It's like, I can't get past that S&M barrier. `Cause, I like, as I'm drinking something like whiskey or lager, it's actually painful to drink first of all. Pour you a double? Is that a double?

Message In A Bottle

Transcribed by Nicola
footnote descriptions by Dan Koster

Chorus:
One, two, turtles are blue,1
three, four, Police are a bore,
five, six, Trudi upped sticks,2
seven, eight, you got no mates!

Brimstone, treacle and you,3
Break a leg, boy on the moon,4
no more Tyneside's favourite son,5
Jimmy Nail is number one.6

REPEAT CHORUS

Reading books by Nabokov,7
schoolkids told you, "Bugger off!"8
So you sung about dread and fear,9
you're a legal alien, dear.10

REPEAT CHORUS

While you were out, saving trees,
your accountant doubled his fees.
Five million down the drain;
poor old teacher's got no brain.

REPEAT CHORUS

So many crimes committed to wax,11
Andy's hanging up his axe,12
Copeland went on to equalise.13
Sting's a bell boy in disguise.14

REPEAT CHORUS

You got no mates!
You got no mates!
You got no mates, got no mates!

1 : The Dream Of The Blue Turtles (Sting's first solo album)
2 : Trudi Styler (Sting's wife)
3 : Brimstone and Treacle (movie in which Sting plays a demonic stranger)
4 : Walking On The Moon (Police #1 hit)
5 : Tyneside (Sting's birthplace)
6 : Performed live with Sting on a "save the rainforests" compilation (produced by Trudi, 1998). May also be from Tyneside
7 : Nabokov's Lolita was the basis for the Police hit Don't Stand So Close To Me
8 : Sting was a schoolteacher before joining The Police
9 : Dread and fear figure heavily in Police songs, particularly on the Carl Jung-inspired Synchronicity album
10 : "I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien" runs the chorus of "An Englishman In New York" (which Sting wrote about Quentin Crisp, though here the Et are turning it against Sting himself)
11 : So many crimes committed to wax (i.e. all the Police and solo albums)
12 : Andy (Summers) is hanging up his axe? Retiring? I thought he may still be churning out shitty new age crap for Private Music
13 : (Stewart) Copeland went on to write the "hit" theme music for The Equalizer (80's Edward Woodward TV drama series) among other soundtracks
14 : In the film, Quadrophenia, Sting played Ace Face, the "mod" whom everybody worships as the coolest, but whose secret shame is that his "day job" is as a bellboy for a cheesy coastal resort.

Mr. Donut

Transcribed by Kevin Hung

Checked-in at the airport half an hour late Jackie caused a scene when we reached the gate Sorry Mr. Pilot but you'll have to wait Cause Paul's still in the duty free

When I'm far from home You call me on the phone Tell me everything that's happening in England When I'm feeling blue You call me something new Another stupid name that makes me smile And in a while

Ooh another coffee yeah Ooh can you sense it in the air Feels so good Like someone really cares

Built my world around certain things you say I think of nothing else at the close of day Except for maybe how I ended up this way Another drink before you go

MTV is on another dreary song 20 after 2 and I'm at a loss Cause the hotel bar is closed I walk across the road Sound of Radio Boston makes me smile And in a while

My Christmas Prayer

Oh Lord, / the snow is falling / and the whole world / kneels to pray, / for tomorrow / brings the dawning / of another / Christmas Day. /

Oh Lord, / will you please help me, / for my baby's / gone astray? / Bring him back, / `cause I'm so lonesome, / and tomorrow's / Christmas Day. /

I don't need mistletoe; / where did my baby go? / Where, / oh where / can he be? / Oh Lord, / won't you hear my prayer? / Oh, / you know, / I really care. / Please, / please, bring him back / to me. /

Oh Lord, / the snow is falling / and the whole world / kneels to pray, / for tomorrow / brings the dawning / of another / Christmas Day. /

No Rainbows For Me

I've thought of asking you / for so long, / afraid of what / your answer would be. / But there's no other way, / so here I stay, / you know, I believe in your lies / so easily. /

Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /

I'm going for myself, / (so I tell myself) / but there's no pot of gold, / just shades of blue. / You think my heart's a toy; / like a little boy, / you pick it up, / and play with it, / and break it when you're through. /

Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /

Ooh... / no rainbows for me. / Ooh... / no rainbows for me. / Ooh... / no rainbows for me. / Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /

Stop hurting me, baby, / I may lose my mind. / Stop hurting me, baby, / or I'll ??? you. / I'll ??? / No rainbows for me...

All of his friends have been wondering / why he spent so long with her; / he's so dark and moody, / she is his sunshine girl. /

Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala, / lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala. /

Penthouse Girl, Basement Boy

Transcribed by Rene Rojas

Stared out of the car into your room
Only
I, I didn't feel you told me the truth
Plenty
Of nights sitting around waiting for you
Maybe
Then should have counted my CDs, see you soon
Baby

Got to go
Got to be on my own

You're not gonna find me today
Downtown baby leave me alone
Cos there's nothing to say
I'm living in the penthouse
Basement boy stay away

Sad, sad all the time, time to move on
You told me
Love, love didn't last and you should have known
Baby

Got to go
Got to be on my own

You're not going to find me today
Downtown baby leave me alone
Cos there's nothing to say
I'm living in the penthouse
Basement boy stay away

La la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la

Stay out of my life
Basement boy stay away
Basement boy stay away

You can't touch me no more
You can't hurt me no more
You can't reach me no more

You're out of my life
Now I'm closing the door
You've turned into a bore
I don't need you no more

You're not gonna find me today
Downtown baby leave me alone
Cos there's nothing to say
I'm living in the penthouse
Basement boy stay away

Oh no oh no Do I really deserve this Silhouette at the window It's so hard to believe this Silhouette at the window I was only lonely Only thinking of you

Ready Or Not

Transcribed by Scott Seymour

I saw you from across the street, /
called to your friends. /
I haven't seen your smile all week - /
I know something's wrong. /

I went and bought another book; /
I'll lend it to you. /
Maybe we could get some food, /
I don't think you should be alone. /

This is the morning of another day, /
and you kiss another dream away, /
ready or not. /

You never say the things you should. /
You didn't, and you never could, /
like it or not. /

They said you're off to fight the cause /
in your own time. /
You're always trying to change the rules. /
I know something's wrong. /

I got myself another job /
in the same town. /
Me and Scott, we got engaged... /
I don't want to be alone. /

This is the morning of another day, /
and you kiss another dream away, /
ready or not. /

You never say the things you should./
You didn't, and you never could, /
like it or not. /

I never meant to hide a thing. /
It's too late for me to start promising /
or crying again. /

This is the morning of another day, /

Looking at flowers in the harbor.
Sleeping for hours with no bother.
Covered in moonbeams and feathers.
Waiting for the red setter.

Sadie's Anniversary

Transcribed by Mun-Hou Lo

One year, to the day Since you put on the night One year, to the day That you shut out the light

I've made up my mind

Oh, I'll never say those words again No, not to anyone that matters

Stop wasting my time

I've made up my mind

Oh, I'll never say those words again No, not to anyone that matters I'll never say the things I said Now that you're gone Oh, I'm shattered

I know I've got to get away Girl's got to move along From this town Now that you're not around From this town Oh, now you're not around.

Saturday

Transcribed by Jamie Fletcher

Sunshine coming in through my window, painting patterns upon the pillow.
Draw the blind, just in time.
Trying to wake up but minds still foggy, someone pour me another coffee.
Strong and black, half a sack.

Chorus:
Hey!, every Saturday.
Get up late but it's okay.
Nothing changes on her face, nothing changes.

Screw around town but my heads still aching,serves me right for the
things I'm taking.
Chilean wine, suits me fine.
Later on bump into Paul and Bronwin, does anyone fancy a drink or something.
Seven ten, start again.

Chorus.

Hey !, every Saturday.
Get up late but it's okay.
Nothing changes on her fate, nothing changes.
Chorus and verses to fade :
Get your body to San Francisco, (?) and a must go Tesco, (?) alfresco,
pasta queck (?) and a dash of pesto.

Sea Shells

Transcribed by Mun-Hou Lo

Hey little sea shell
How loud you roar
How many secrets
Do you store?
Can you answer truthfully?
One small question for me?

Chorus:
Does he love me
The way I want him to?
Will he protect me
Or will he leave me sad and blue?
Hey little sea shell
I need a clue
Am I his only girl?
Or has he quite a few?

Are my kisses as sweet
As he wants them to be?

Doe she see in me
A love secure and more?
Can I depend on
Forever being in his arms?

Repeat Chorus

(Hey, sea shell)
(hey, sea shell)
Hey little sea shell (Hey, sea shell)

And the shout black as night

Some Place Else

Thanks to patrick for a correction!

You can tell me a thousand times, or more, / it's all in the past, / but words just won't convince me, / I'm smarter than that! / And any fool can see / that even though you're here with me, / your mind, your mind, your mind / is some place else. / Your mind, your mind, your mind / is some place else. /

I know the place; / I was there once / but I don't think / I'll ever see it again. / Your mind, your mind, your mind / is some place else. / Your mind, your mind, your mind / is some place else. /

Since the first time I heard her name I knew / we'd never be the same, / and I know to who you say it, now / it's started again. / And any fool can see / that you have given up on me; / your mind, your mind, your mind's / on someone else. / Your mind, your mind, your mind's / on someone else. /

I know the girl / who's in my place, / and I know / I can never face her again. / Your mind, your mind, your mind's / on someone else. / Your mind, your mind, your mind's / on someone else. / (Your mind, your mind's / on someone else. / Your mind, your mind's / on someone else.)

Sometimes In Winter

[lyrics as transcribed by Juha Heikkinen] [Sometimes in Winter:] When I come home in the evening Cry at the silence waiting for me, and He bring me a warm cup with coffee Instead of the love you know that I need Wait, wait. Sometimes in winter, love can go astray. Lonely, don't you get lonely, don't you get lonely for me. He cradled my head as he held me I swore I could feel the earth turning round But love seemed to go with the season Now touching you feels like rain coming down Sometimes in winter, love can go astray. Lonely, don't you get lonely, don't you get lonely for me. Little girl, she stands alone This is search until we find, gee Now we're on the road to hell... Sometimes in winter, love can go astray. Lonely, don't you get lonely, don't you get lonely for me. For me. For me. For me. [Winter Melody:] Deepest winter will set in.

Split Screen

Transcribed by Kevin Hung

Today I got up easy You know I'm not a morning person Never said I was leaving I wasn't sure until this morning

Split screen our apartment Where you still lie there sleeping Keep feeling old cafes He's the one who needs you baby

Will you really miss me Will you really think about me Yeah I'd like to think so But as they say I'm always dreaming

Goodbye to the tower blocks Last look at the town I'm leaving Tall buildings and offices And this all full of memories baby

Now I really don't care Cause I'm dying to get the sun in my hair Yeah I really don't care That I'm here and you're still there Yeah I really don't care Cause I'm going to breathe the country air Yeah I really don't care But it's OK

I've been driving for ages Your tapes are starting to bore me Well I think I should stop now I'm not sure if I should call you

Split screen our apartment Where you have seen my letters Well I know its not Venus But the scenery's getting better baby

Spring

Dry your eyes boy, / there's no need to despair. / Forget about yesterday and the bad times that you've had. / You've loved and lost, and now you're feeling so blue, / but can't you see it's me who really loves you? /

With the love I've got you'll forget about her, / and find it easy / to live without her. /

It's / only springtime, / oh, you're too young to say you're through with love. / It's / only springtime, / and I'll be different boy, / I'll promise you / (I'll swear to you.) /

Once more you tell me / about her new friend; / you say your heart's / been broken again. / How many times / have you looked into my eyes? / Don't you realise we're two of a kind? /

With the love I've got you'll forget about her, / and find it easy / to live without her. /

It's / only springtime, / oh, you're too young to say you're through with love. / It's / only springtime, / and I'll be different, / I'll be different, I swear to you. /

I've been watching / all you're love affairs; / three years now - / don't you think I care? / How many times / have you looked into my eyes? / Don't you realise we're two of a kind? /

It's / only springtime, / you're too / young to say you're through with love. / It's / only springtime, / and I'll be different, / I'll be different, boy, / yeah. / It's / only springtime, / you're too young to say you're through with love, / through with love.

Stormtroopers In Drag

[These are the original lyrics - the Et's cover of the song features some changes and a brand new chorus... I have all the info I need, will update this following the unmothballing of thr site...] So here am I quite by chance near the phone I could call and make you crawl into bed Questions always questions I'll just speak in slow motion About obsessions with boys on the floor Take that smile off your face Wipe that tear from your eye Don't say you're sorry for me Now look at me like a stormtrooper in drag And i'll let you feel exactly like I do It's so disgusting I'm so tired of rhythm And needles in arms I don't want your point of view Nothing to do Nothing to do steal And there's nothing to say Love it Love it I need to

Stranger In Paradise

Take my hand, / I'm a stranger in paradise. / All lost in a wonderland, / a stranger in paradise. / If I stand starry-eyed / that's a danger in paradise / for mortals who stand / beside an angel like you. /

I saw your face / and I ascended, / out of the common place / into the rare. / Somewhere in space / I hang suspended / until I know / there's a chance that you care. /

Oh, won't you answer this loving prayer / of a stranger in paradise? / Don't send me in dark despair / for all that I hunger for. / But open your angel eyes / to the stranger in paradise, / and tell him that he will be / a stranger no more. /

Take my hand, / I'm a stranger in paradise. / All lost in a wonderland, / a stranger in paradise. / If I stand starry-eyed / that's a danger in paradise / for mortals who stand / beside an angel like you. /

Touch me, / I'm a stranger in paradise. / la, la, la, la, la, la, la, / la, la, la, la, la. / Touch me, / I'm a stranger in paradise. / la, la, la, la, la, la, la, / la, la, la, la, la. / Touch me, / I'm sick.

Taking Off For France

Transcribed by Rene Rojas

Thing I'll miss when you're not here are
The kissing thing
Oh, I'll cry again
The kissing thing
I've been thinking, I've decided
There's not much point in trying to hide it
Don't want you anymore
Not anymore

I'm taking off for France

She said
We're going nowhere
I would've sent a letter, I'm to blame
We're going nowhere
Did anybody tell you it's a shame

I can't believe I got to know you
The girls were mad
Of what we had
The girls were mad
We never seemed to go to college
Donkey House we didn't want it
Anyway
So, anyway

I'm taking off for France

She said
We're going nowhere
I would 've sent a letter, I'm to blame
We're going nowhere
You always said you loved me it's a shame

I'm taking off for France

She said
We're going nowhere
I would've sent a letter, I'm to blame
We're going nowhere
Did anybody tell you it's a shame

We're going nowhere
I would have sent a letter, I'm to blame
We're going nowhere
You always said you loved me it's a shame

A shame

Taxi

Transcribed by Scott Tucker

I'm watching you
Jumping from the taxi in the rain
And everything we do, it's just the same you know
I'm not going home tonight

I'm downstairs
Smile at Johnny Astor in the hall
And he's surprised, he thinks we've got it all you know
I'm not going home tonight

Taxi take me home to the End
You don't even notice me and my friends
Monday morning people, they sleep
But we've just got tonight for all of these things

The car rides
New York City winter's has got it all
I'm falling from the ceiling to the floor you know
I'm not going home tonight

It's mad with you
I just got the take and we're shooting through
I never knew so many things to do yeah

Taxi take me home to the End
You don't even notice me and my friends
Monday morning people, they sleep
But we've just got tonight for all of these things
Taxi take me home to the End
You don't even notice me and my friends

(She said) she said (she said)
Think I've had enough of living on my own
And she said (she said)

I never knew so many things to do oh yeah
I'm not going home

The Bad Photographer

Transcribed by Kevin Hung

Last Thursday 5 30 A shoot in Ladbroke Grove Hours later Hey waiter Could you pour some more of those

All for you And when I'm all alone I'm by the microphone I see your photograph Don't even want to laugh

Some secret Must keep it Hey I wouldn't know who to tell Next morning Fair warning Ooh you have you got something to sell

Wide awake The cold cold light of day Realise my taste My taste just slips away I say my taste just slips away

Days later Saw the paper How did I fall for you All for you...

The Boy Scouts Of America

Like a birthday card / from a previous year, / the weather in Chayco / is sparkling and clear. / The girl lies in bed, / the boy sits in the yard. / He wants to talk sleep / but he has to keep guard. /

She stirs from her sleep / and she calls for a beer; / he knows there are none / and pretends not to hear. / She hears his breath / like she's heard it before. / She cuddles her sheets / as he slips out the door. /

God had derailed / the Lonestar train / that can take her away / from sadness and pain. / He acts like a saint / but the strain really shows; / The boy scouts of America / taught him all that he knows.

The Way I Fell For You

Transcribed by Parks Westbrook

We were laughing as the rain kept falling / we didn't give a damn
and there's nothing in the world to stop us
I just held your hand (and it's enough)
Your sister says we don't know each other / she's not 24
My dad's not here to tell me nothing
We used to talk before (and it's enough)
Hello baby, hello boy / it seems to me we've got it all
I like to run but I take it back
I'm not one to care about that / no, no
We were laughing as the rain kept falling / you didn't give a damn
and there's nothing in the world to stop us
I just held your hand (and it's enough)
Hello baby, hello boy / it seems to me we've got it all
I like to run but I take it back
I'm too young, don't care about that
Yeah, I'm too young / yes you know, I'm too young
It's the way I fell for you
It's the way I fell for you
Hello baby, hello boy / it seems to me we've got it all
I like to run but I take it back
I'm not one to care about that / no, no
Hello baby, hello boy / it seems to me we've got it all
I like to run but I take it back
I'm too young, don't care about that / no, no
It's the way I fell for you

Think Twice

[intro sample:] How dare you? How dare you say such filthy, disgusting things? You filthy upstart! You come into the house, drunk, filthy drunk, you're filthy. You talk filth, you are the filth.

Oh, you tell me you feel changed, / so you're packing up and leaving me, / and you've met some other girl, / whose love can set you free. /

Think twice, / baby, / think twice, / baby, / think twice, / baby, / don't turn / your back / on the love / you've known, / ooh, no. /

If I could turn back the hands of time, / I'd build a love strong enough for two. / No, I won't deny I've lied, / but the trouble with me is you. /

Think twice, / baby, / think twice, / baby, / think twice, / baby, / don't turn / your back / on the love / you've known, / ooh, no. /

Oh, take some time to grow, / you've only known her a week or two. / Use your head, not just your heart, / when you tell me that we're through. /

Think twice, / baby, / think twice, / baby, / think twice, / baby, / don't turn / your back / on the love / you've known, / ooh, no. /

Think twice before you leave, / that's my advice, / baby, / baby, / baby. / Don't keep love in waiting, / baby, baby.

Tomorrow Never Dies

Transcribed by Mun-Hou Lo

Deep, deep in the still of night
And I'm fighting back the tears
Out, out of the city lights
Where only I can hear

Promises, all he ever makes are promises
Do they come from deep inside his heart?
I was captured by his lies
And the passion in his eyes
Tomorrow never dies

He put a spell on me
Like so many other girls [sic!]
Words are no guarantee
All the better world

For loving him, I'm so crazy for loving him
But there's only cold inside his heart
Using words to hypnotize
Taking cities as his prize
Tomorrow never dies

Where, where did the sunshine go?
I remember summer nights
Warm, not so long ago
In his arms, so tight

Promises, all he ever made were promises
Did they come from deep inside him?
Loving him, I'm so crazy for loving him
But there's only cold inside
And I know that he's never gonna let me go
Cause tomorrow never dies

Never write a love song Never write a trip hop Never write a ballad Got to get a grip now Cause nothing ever matters If you hide away from it all

Never write a love song...

If only I could make you see, / make you understand. / The answer's not with wait and see, / it's right there in your hand. /

Forgive me, honey, I was blind; / you know I'll miss you when you're gone. / You know I'll miss you when you're gone, / when you're gone, / gone. /

No, there's no way out of here, / in deeper every day. / No, there's no way out of here, / no matter what they say. /

I'm so sorry, I was blind; / you know I'll miss you when you're gone. / You know I'll miss you when you're gone, / when you're gone, / gone. /

Dee-duh do-do-do, / duh-duh do-do-do, / Duh-da da-da-da... /

Forgive me, honey, I was blind; / you know I'll miss you when you're gone. / You know I'll miss you when you're gone, / when you're gone, / gone. / Gone, gone. / Gone, gone.

You're In A Bad Way

[intro sample (on album):] Of course London's a big place. It's a very big place, Mr Shadrack. A man could lose himself in London. Lose himself. Lose himself. Lose himself in London!

Toast is burned, / and your coffee's cold, / and you leave all the post `cause it's nothing but bills again. / Home from work, / put the TV on. / Get your kicks watching Bruce on the old Generation Game /

Just dial my number, / I've got some plans for you. / You're in a bad way / and I can help you through. / You're in a bad way, / every day is just the same. / Just dial my number / or call my name. /

Jeans are old / and your hair's all wrong / Don't you know that crew-cuts and trainers are out again? / Going out / you're feeling low / Running for cover, it looks like it's going to rain. / (What a shame.) /

Just dial my number, / I've got some plans for you. / You're in a bad way / and I can help you through. / You're in a bad way, / every day seems just the same. / Just dial my number / or call my name. /

Just dial my number, / I've got some plans for you. / You're in a bad way / and I can help you through. / You're in a bad way, / every day seems just the same. / Just dial my number / or call my name. /

You're in a bad way, / (you're in a bad way.) / You're in a bad way, / (you're in a bad way.) / You're in a bad way, / (you're in a bad way.) / You're in a bad way, / (you're in a bad way.) / Yeah.

Zipcode

Transcribed by Kevin Hung

The comic from the USA Dream ticket for a Saturday Saw an add for a day-glo skeleton Hey Dad had a go about getting them

You never there when I needed you You never lent me a hand or 2 And when you did you weren't much use You didn't even know what a zipcode was

I never really saw the apes Just said I did to save my face Not impressed with my watch radio Weights a tonne and it ain't stereo

I never cried when Elvis died Told you I did but hey I lied Bought into X ray vision Then music, sex, religion

You never there when I needed you You never lent me a hand or 2 And when you did you weren't much use You didn't even know what a zipcode was You didn't even know what a zipcode was You didn't even know what a zipcode was
