you bruise like a cherry my darling girl
words they mean nothing to some in this world
I want you to know I thought of you last night
and I cried.

play indie rock if that's what you want
quote Mike Leigh films it will turn them all on
I heard that you're going on a first date

You can compliment me on the style of my hair
Give me marks out of ten for the clothes I wear
You probably thought I had more upstairs
I disappoint you, I can see through your perfect smile
He likes to read books written for girls
Prides himself on being a man of the world
In the darkest of places he gets his thrills
He will disappoint you if you see through his perfect smile

Silver Birch against a Swedish sky
The singer in the band made me want to cry
We’re all inside our own heads now
We are leaving new friends
We are leaving this town
I wish you could be here with me
I would show you off like a trophy
The road it winds, it twists, it turns, now my stomach burns

Call my number
26 and three-quarters
Turn down the lights now
Let's do it again

You were insatiable
I was more than capable
And you fought in my corner

Fed up of girls in pretty dresses
With boys who want to teach them a lesson
Sick of the sight of my old lover
Went under sheets and covers to get away from him

I can`t see what he once meant to me
I think it`s time I put him out of my mind

Double feature

Close comes the winter
Summer is no longer
And things, they seem much bleaker
We'll see a Catherine Deneuve double feature
And our lives will fade as in darkness we will bathe

How can you agree with all that you concede
When all the while to me it's cruel and can't be real?
But I don't have to feel this way
My ambition fails with every passing day
My thoughts of going home are half a world away
There's something else that I could say

Maybe you can take it easy, maybe you can take too long

You know it really wont surprise me
If you're a wreck by the age of fourteen
The way you look
The way you look is fine

So often colour coordinated
your sister she's an Eighties fan
But that's alright

The last thing I want is to be tiptoeing around you
I want you to know that I'm proud of you
In my head you're nineteen going on ninety nine
You are Saturday and Sunday
Every weekday friend of mine

We got a little butter we took a little bread
It's there for the taking, come put us to the test

I gave you a regal name
Cause you treat me like a queen
But like a queen I don't know when I'll be slain

Now, I'm fifth in line to the throne
How am I gonna tell my king
That I don't trust his throne, anymore

I'm in a van,
And you're holding my hand
And you were travelling with me through forest and sands

I've been ever so needy learning your language
And you've been taking full advantage, haven't you?
Oh, don't say it's true

Spent a week in a dusty library
Waiting for some words to jump at me
We met by a trick of fate
French navy, my sailor mate

We met by the moon on a silvery lake
You came my way
Said, "I want you to stay."

I've been hanging round
Everywhere you go in town
Watching you forget me

I want to see you crack
I'm going to get you back
Put your hands up baby

Happy new year

Did the ironing in a cowboy hat
Felt as fresh as the paint in this new flat
I will never tell you what to do
Have ambition simply to see things through

Did you know I could be a lot of fun

Took a trip on a houseboat
It was fun, you and me
I know you're really in love with him
Are you up to your knees?

Oh I'm always in decline
Always changing my lines
Always changing my mind

I'd like to have company during thunderstorms
I'd like you to fall for me but it would soon turn lousy and wrong
I meant what I said, all I want is to be one of the best
Been getting some extra help from a special band
Oh yeah, they've been helping us out
And we're thankful they're lending a hand
Here is my request, play the ones that we all know best

Tell me where it all went wrong
Maybe I can make it better
Tell me where it all went wrong
Don't you know that you really upset her
When you act like a man who is cross with every woman he's never had
If it's true looks could kill and you will be the first to make me mad
Then you'll have to go
Is this the kind of fate you could contemplate

James, he came to my place
He said he had to see my face
He hopes that we can still be friends
In his own way, he'll love me till the end

And James, he came to the door
Wanting to know for sure
Why love gets up and goes

Does it make you happy to ignore me on streets?
I guess by now you think I'm weak
I wish you could have said something before now
I wouldn't share a bag of chips with you
In my opinion you don't have a clue
I'm being cruel I'm being cruel

I don't want to be part of your scene

We went out dancing it was time we had fun
We didn't leave till three I know we're not the only one's
When we got outside the snow had started to fall
I made a ball I threw it at Gavin because he's tall, he's tall
Now we have this snow up to our knees
A Walking wonderland is always bound to please
I know it's true to say my smiles been weak
I wonder if you know by now I've fallen deep, yeah deep

Let's get out of this country
I'll admit I am bored with me
I drowned my sorrows and slept around
When not in body at least in mind
We'll find a cathedral city, you can convince me I am pretty
We'll pick berries and recline
Let's hit the road dear friend of mine
Wave goodbye to our thankless jobs

I don't believe in anything so you may as well forget about me

It's time you took it upon yourself to go join the other team

Forget about me

Anyway, I got myself some bowling shoes

He said, "I'll protect you like you are the crown jewels", yet
Said he's feeling sorrier for me the more I behave badly I can bet

Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken
'Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment

Jealousy is more than a word now I understand
I know you can stay a girl by holding a boy's hand

For the Lunar sea see the river moon
And you got it
Match the finest words to the greatest tune
And you bought it
See me cross in style
Walk the longest mile in a minute
Where do drifters go?
Wonder if they know there’s no limit

Don't insult me by saying it was nothing
I know what I saw
I'm out here looking for something
I always want more
I've got a funny way of making money
I'll tell you all about it some day
I've got a funny way of making money
I'll tell you all about it someday

He wakes and says hello, turns on the breakfast show
She fixes coffee while he takes a shower
Hey that was great, he said, I wish we could stay in bed
But I got to be at work in less than an hour
She manages a smile as he walks out the door
She's a modern girl who's been though this movie before

Chorus:

O, my love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in june,
O, my love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I;
And I will love thee still, my dear,

You kissed me on the forehead
Now these kisses give me concussion
We were love at first sight
Now this crush, is crushing

I retraced your steps through the city of romance lazily
I took to the desert with your harshest words and they saved me

Drinking whiskey reminds me of you
You're the first in ages to have gotten through
I know you mean well, I know that you do
But sooner or later you're going to break me in two

Were my pupils dilated?
Could you tell that I liked you?
We were so unlikely

Rose, I’m feeling older
I was as lucky as a four-leaved clover
I tried to be happy it wasn’t easy
When I choose my colour it will be Razzle Dazzle Rose

Rose, I’m feeling older
Courage my love it makes me bolder
Expecting softness can lead to foolishness

You're such a beautiful writer
that's not all you are
I'm sorry about making a pass
it was subtle but I think that you guess
the meaning intended

I can be a friend to you
I won't pretend

Shedding tears for affairs
I’m a funny little thing
I can tell you this for nothing
Affairs don’t win

Can you handle one more dirty secret one more dirty night
Is it true what they say
Will it make us go blind

For your birthday she sent you a card
She didn't sign her name, she gave an autograph
And now she's trying to call your bluff, she your true love?
We knew the boy who went from Mod to Ted
She asked matter of fact had he gone off his head
He was uncomplaining as a tree not a thing like me

You're not a teenager, so don't act like one

He's got the sun on his back
Where there are freckles I would die for
Is he a family man?
If I had the chance I would show him all I am
I like the sound of his voice
I did me very best to impress him
Always my first choice
And I'm not ashamed to admit I've been uncool, I've looked a fool

I'm going on a date tonight
To try to fall out of love with you
I know, I know this is a crime
But I don't know what else to do

My love, you're in a magazine
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
You pull my heart out and then you run away

Suddenly the world is full of strangers
I can sense a fog in my midst

I've been listening to lonely girls
Sometimes against my will
Don't ask me to love you when you know that I will

Send me someone with the night sky on their mind

If you were a season, you would be in bloom
I wish I had good reason to see you soon
No need to convince me that you were a catch
I bought my ticket and so at last

Who was it that said that love conquers all?
Oh he was a fool cause it doesn't add up
Should I believe you told a lie?

You bruise like a cherry my darling girl
Words can mean nothing to some in this world
I want you to know I thought about you last night
I cried
Play indie rock if that's what you want
Quote Mike Leigh films it will turn them all on
I heard you were going on a first date
That's great
