I can just imagine you and me Running out of steam, going through the motions And I have no idea how you know When I dip my toes in other people's oceans 'Cause you have local knowledge of the local area And that impressed me quite, so I tried that night To do all the things I thought you'd like but that just made it worse And I impressed you not, well, not a lot So we started from the start W...
I remember nights out when we were young They weren't very good, they were rubbish Running round Highroyds isn't fun Just teenagers testing their courage Standing outside nightclubs in the snow Is not very cool or impressive They let in all the girls from the year below No need for IDs with those dresses Got news from afar From a girl who knows who we are She's still got my dinner money She ca...
None of the buildings even look the same And underneath them all the shops have changed I don't pretend they're in a lot more pains Stocking much too young for the professionals to stay in I can do it, I can do it I can do it, I can do it without you I can do it, I can do it I can do it, I can do it without you I'm not turning to the north again Everybody has to talk on the train And if you've...
I'm just waiting for The man to come with all my things And I'm just waiting for Another man to take it all And it's not hard to tell That I learnt my lesson well But I'm just waiting for The man to come and go away What are you waiting for Get up off your seat It's just seven days It feels like a week What are you moaning for You got all that you want Life could be worse You could be a nurse ...
I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore And I know I've said all this and that you've heard it all before The trick is getting you to think that all this was your idea And that this was everything you've ever wanted out of here Love's not a competition but I'm winning I'm not sure what's truly altruistic anymore When every good thing that I do is listed and you're keeping score Love's not...
Well, it starts as a joke like a stick in the spokes Or removing the bolt from the brakes Then the bicycle flips crushing ribs smashing hips And he broke every bone in his face And you're out of control and you can't fill the hole That was left by the thrill of the chase You're a right piece of work, all the flakes go berserk Have you forgotten how good they taste? You're my kind of guy, 'cos ...
There are many things that I would be proud of If I'd only invented them such as the wheel The washing machine and the tumble dryer On these inventions surely I could retire I want to retire, no longer required I want to get by without the man on my back A tear in my eye with a heart full of pride I must go out on a high and tell nobody why There are many things that I know I could do If I'd o...
Let it never be said, the romance is dead 'Cos there?s so little else occupying my head There is nothing I need except the function to breathe But I?m not really fussed, doesn?t matter to me Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby And do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya Know what ya doing, doing to me? Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby Due to lack of interest tomorrow is canceled Let the clocks be reset and the pendulums held 'Co...
Didn't expect any of this But it's really nice Didn't want you to cause a fuss But it feels alive So thank you very much It's really nice to know That you enjoyed the show And I want you to know when to go 'Cause this should be a thrill But it feels like a drill Now you must let me go Let me go I just imagine that of you And there's nothing, nothing, nothing I can't do I just imagine that of y...
I can't do it any quicker I don't want it any slicker As far as the eye can see Is miles and miles of icy sea So try your best And think about it later Or you will never know I don't feel fear anymore But I can't risk getting mauled As far as the ear can hear The wave is coming loud and clear So try your best And think about it later Or you will never know So try your best And think about it l...
