I have often walked
Round these streets before
But the pavement always moved
Beneath my feet before
All at once am I multi-storey high
Knowing I'm on the streets where you live

Resident may stare, they don't bother me a bit
Because there's nowhere in the world that I would rather sit
Let bare time roll by, I don't care now I
Know I'm here on the street where she lives

And...oh, oh, oh,
What a nauseous feeling
Just to know, oh, oh,
For once she's near
And oh, oh, oh,
What a tower-block feeling
Any second she may suddenly appear

Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town?
Can you hear the lark
In any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door?
No, it's just here on the street where she lives

And...oh, oh, oh,
What a nauseous feeling
Just to know, oh, oh,
For once she's near
And oh, oh, oh,
What a tower-block feeling
Any second she may suddenly appear

Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town?
Can you hear the lark
In any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door?
No, it's just here on the street where she lives

Are there lilac trees
In the heart of town?
Can you hear the light
In any other part of town?
Does enchantment pour
Out of every door?
No, it's just on the street where she lives

I say we step outside
(Come on, come on)
'Cos we can brave the cold
(We brave the cold)
The night is on freezeframe
(It's on, but double brandies)
Triple blaze the cold from my soul

I search for my Panama
Even though the summers which once were ours
Have died.

Take us out tonight
In the backside of your...
Take us somewhere new
You've got to take us out tonight
In the backseat please
Take us somewhere new

I say we drive all night
(Come on, come on)
Forget my temperature
(We'll brave the cold)
I love the motorway
The weather never let us roam
So wide or so far

Just keep 'em peeled for the exit light
Even though
The ballads that once I wrote
Have died

Take us out tonight
In the backside of your...
Take us somewhere new
You've got to take us out tonight
In the backseat please
Take us somewhere new

Take us out tonight
In the backside of your...
Take us somewhere new
You've got to take us out tonight
In the backseat please
Take us somewhere new

I say we step outside
'Cos we can brave the cold
The night is on freezeframe
And double brandies triple blaze the cold
From my soul
Triple blaze the cold from my soul

I say we step outside
'Cos we can brave the cold
The night is on freezeframe
And double brandies triple blaze the cold
From my soul
Triple blaze the cold from my soul

Take us out tonight
In the backside of your...
Take us somewhere new
You've got to take us out tonight
In the backseat please
Take us somewhere new

Anywhere will do
[Take us out tonight in the backseat of your Corvette] x7

Just dig a shallow grave
How much will you save
By staying here

Just dig a shallow grave
How much will you save
By staying here

You've got to take us out tonight
Somewhere new, anywhere will do
Anywhere will do

I make a date for golf
and you can bet your life it rains
my flat warming got started
but the bitch next door complained
it seems I'll spend my whole life
catching colds and missing trains
everything happens to me

I waited in the rain
for a blind date who never showed
then a 4x4 drenched my jeans as i tried to cross the road
got back to the car in time to watch it being towed
everything happens to me

at first i thought you might break this jinx for me
your love would bring an end to my despair
that would have been so cool
not how its meant to be
instead you vanished into thin air

I've emailed and I've phoned
sent a text meassge or two
you told me to piss off and for that respect is due
I fell in love just once
did it have to be with you?
everything happens to me
(all kind of shit happens)
everything happens to me

Beauty is in the eye

A gentleman

You'll never want a gentleman
When you see me in this light

Give blood, make love and dont think twice
too many of us to, to get paid so
why not give blood make love and dont ask why
dont think twice
only bread and roses will you find on our table

I've been watching for too long
and i can tell theres soemthingh wrong with you
so what you gonna do with all that cash
it must get boring being so flash

Give blood, make love and dont think twice
too many men they're just trying to get paid so
why not give blood make love and dont ask why
dont think twice
only bread and roses will you find on our table

I've been watching for too long
and i can tell theres soemthingh wrong with you

You dont need all the lines
the splifs that you smoke from time the time
You dont need all the lines
the rocks that you smoke from time the time (x2)

So why not give blood, make love and dont think twice
too many people they're just trying to get paid so
why not give blood make love and dont ask why
dont think twice
only bread and roses will you find on our table

I've read quite a few of the books that you see
High on the shelves of this tall library
They teach me how to think
But now I think too much
Much too much

Something's not right, there's a hole in my life
So I wander the clubs
Looking for some soul, looking for some life
All I find is you
But you make me laugh
And that's a start

You ask me
"What tune is this?"
I don't know but I like it
If you ask the DJ
On Monday I'll buy it

"What tune is this?"
My neighbours won't like it
So don't, don't darling leave

Roll down the steps for the annual ball
See how b-boys divide and heads line the wall
But all I see is you
So I drink too much, and then I talk too much

Something's not right, there's a hole in my life
So I wander the clubs
Looking for some soul, looking for some life
All I find is you
But you make me laugh
And that's a start

You ask me
"What tune is this?"
I don't know but I like it
If you ask the DJ
On Monday I'll buy it

"What tune is this?"
My neighbours won't like it
So don't, don't darling leave

Don't, don't darling leave

"What tune is this?"
I don't know but I like it
If you ask the DJ
On Monday I'll buy it

"What tune is this?"
My neighbours won't like it
So if you'll ask the DJ
On Monday I'll buy it

And then we'll dance through the yard 'til the neighbours decide they don't like it
We're gonna dance through the yard 'til the neighbours decide they don't like it

It's always the sunny days that bring me down
When I'm reminded that you're not around.
Friends try and fail to make me smile
But I had the answer with me all the while.
I've got a picture of you
Wherever I go
A sweet reminder from you to me
I'm never alone.

Should time should bring me fame or a touch of bling
(Imagine that, getting paid to sing).
Keep your cars, cigars and frosted drinks
Without you here they just won't mean a thing

I've got a picture of you
Wherever I go
A sweet reminder from you to me
I'm never alone.

I've got a picture of you
Wherever I go
A sweet reminder from you to me
I'm never alone

Sometimes at night I wonder watching all the faces
Knowing I won't see you
No there is no other face that could replace the one that's gone
No one could be you
No

I've got a picture of you
A sweet reminder from you to me
I'm never alone.

I've got a picture of you
Wherever I go
A sweet reminder from you to me
I'm never alone.

I've got a picture of you with me
Wherever I go
A sweet reminder from you to me
No, I'm never alone

I've got a picture of you with me
Wherever I go
A sweet reminder from you to me
I'm never alone

I've got a picture of you
A sweet reminder from you

I've got a picture of you
A sweet reminder from you

So I packed up my life
Into the boot of your car.
Must have driven for an hour or two
Before I reached Manchester.
It mystifies me that you'd wanna bring a young fellow down so hard.
I'm really sorry that I took the car,
But I just had to get out of town.
You made me wanna get out of town.

And in the glove compartment,
Theres nothing but your cassettes.
Put one on and I hear that song
that I wrote for you when we met.
It mystifies me that you'd wanna bring a young fellow down so hard.
I'm really sorry that I took the car,
But I just had to get out of town.
You made me wanna get out of town.

Oh Joy...
(It wasn't one specific thing that you did,
It wasn't one specific thing that you said. (Whooo)
No, no, no, no, no.
All the feelings that I hid
Came to surface in my head. (Whooo)
No, no, no, no, no.)

It wasn't one specific thing that you did,
It wasn't one specific thing that you said.
No, no, no, no, no.
All the feelings that I hid
Came to surface in my head. (Whooo)
No, no, no, no, no.
It wasn't one specific thing that you did,
It wasn't one specific thing that you said,
As we lay there on the bed.
No, no, no, no, no.
All the feelings that I hid
Came to surface in my head. (Whooo)
No, no, no, no, no.

I'm really sorry that I took the car,
(It wasn't one specific thing that you did,
It wasn't one specific thing that you said.)
But I just had to get out of town.
I'm really sorry that I took the car,
(Whooo)
But I just had to get out of town.
(No, no, no, no, no.)
I'm really sorry that I took the car,
(All the feelings that I hid
Came to surface in my head. )
Sincerely sorry that I took the car.
I'm really sorry that I took the car,
(Whooo)
But I just had to get out of town.
You made me wanna get out of town
And realise theres nothing left in this town.
You made me wanna get out of town,
Sweet ____ town.
You made me wanna get out of town.
Theres nothing left in this town.
You made me wanna get out of town.

Like ghosts we both appear,
In this polaroid I'll treasure through the years. (years)
Full of promise and of smiles,
We are happily quite ignorant of pain.

And oh, how life can quickly change,
You can't predict the rain
Or second-guess the stars,
To find some method in the mad,
Or some goodness in the bad men
That now and then block our way.

And as ghosts we'll disappear again,
Back into photographs they'll scatter through the years.
Friends assumed we'd moved away.
No, we're just hibernating.

And oh, how life can quickly change,
You can't predict the rain
Or second-guess the stars, Nooooo,
To find some method in the mad,
Just some goodness in the bad men
That now and then block our way.

Upon the heath we sit,
Trying to make some sense of it.
These mushrooms help a bit -
Help us think how we ought to think.

Theres nothing in our way
And no-ones dying here.
Theres nothing in our way,
We've nothing left to fear.
Theres nothing in our way
And no-ones dying here.

Down into town we stroll.
I suggest no more Rock and Roll.
Canary Wharf, our Christmas tree,
Sucking up electricity.

Theres nothing in our way
And no-ones dying here.
Theres nothing in our way,
We've nothing left to fear.
Theres nothing in our way
And no-ones dying here.
Not that I can see.

Theres nothing in our way
And no-ones dying here.
Theres nothing in our way,
We've nothing left to fear.
Theres nothing in our way
And no-ones dying here.

I see battenburg houses,
And nightclub skies.
I hear nursery rhymes.
They fill my eyes that write these lines.
I see battenburg houses,
Nightclub skies.
I hear nursery rhymes.
They fill my eyes, write these lines.
Battenburg houses,
And nightclub skies.
Nursery rhymes,
Words that rhyme.
Fill my eyes, write these lines.
Battenburg houses,
Nightclub skies.
Nursery rhymes.
Fill my eyes, write these lines.

Down into town we stroll.
Down into town we stroll.
Upon the heath we sit.
Upon the heath we sit.
Down into town we stroll,
I insist, no more Rock and Roll.
No more Rock and Roll.
No more Rock and Roll.
No more Rock and Roll.
No more Rock and Roll.
