Again again 04:59
lyrics

Again again I’m not looking for a cultural exchange I just need you to frack out my brains Now you’ve found me again again Elastic force has won its way I hope you won’t pitter patter prattle on ‘bout love Keep those words from me or never never speak You are my life! Face to face again again The crumple zone is weak and soft My defences split and I go right down the wrong path Better should I know than set this off again Why falling down the wrong hole again? You’d think I remember broken limbs I should run from you but one look from you I’m in the crumple zone I’m in the crumple zone I’ve lost the way home I’m in the crumple zone You are my life! I trust my instincts We’re good together Now I’ve found you again again I never thought I’d see this day Going to make you mine so mine so mine so mine so mine Make you understand that we are meant to be

Closer 05:20
lyrics

Closer When I dreamed, I dreamed of life’s adventures Not rooted to the spot, broke, and needing dentures I grew up with you, I grew up with you But still we miss a vital spot, a vital clue Closer now, come closer now Oh, well we get so tired Closer than this paper world outside Really gets you down, the back of this town, life’s changes The trouble here is known, it’s easy to be thrown on these wages I call out to you, I call out to you All you see is fading fast, a fading dream Well I never, the never-never, the never-never They’ve burnt our house down Don’t believe that we can’t swim Trouble schemes and plots to tie us up in knots while we’re sleeping When it’s all too late, we finally awake to be beaten We are very small, we are very small And if we win it is because we give our all

Fairies You know I was clean and sober? Well that’s all gone I’ve thrown caution to the wind That better me I think she’s over Over Far as I see It’s the same world And nothing changed And nothing’s changed Send me to the fairies Send me to the fairies I’m still waiting I’m still waiting Tell me I’m dead (with no angels) What’s in my mind? Well, what is in my mind? Respectable? I think that’s over Over Far as I see It’s the same world And nothing changed And nothing’s changed

Four seasons (m) 04:42
lyrics

Four seasons (M) I fell in love with her She was just fourteen years And I was thirteen years I couldn’t call it wrong Those were the best of a time Our first taste of grown up love And it still makes me smile It makes me smile I love to love I love to be loved To feel someone’s thoughts in me As my thoughts are with them Then came a time of more The girls and women too The heathen and the holy The sweet ones and the sour Still it makes me smile It makes me smile The sensations of summer days Past strategic past From our platform of support we can rise To make our name For our gorgeous child to take Quiet! Time to fall My autumn now begins And those who take my fancy Say I am looking older

Good neighbours 03:16
lyrics

Good neighbours You're banging on my wall, I turn the TV down You're banging more and more I'm getting angry now You up the ante You stick my doorbell down This is stupid It's going down and down Good neighbours They have respect Good neighbours It's give and take Good neighbours For heaven's sake I just want to live my life Without you always telling me how I know you're not like me That doesn't make you weird It's all your fucking hate That I do not deserve What did I do To make you feel this way? This is stupid You want it all your way Good neighbours They have respect Good neighbours It's give and take Good neighbours For heaven's sake I just want to live my life Get off my fucking case! For my girl This ain't funny She ain't sleeping Through your constant knocking You're avoiding the real world I've had you up to here The way you think of me I'd better stop this now Or I'll become like you Bitter and twisted And now it's rubbing off This is stupid I think I've had enough Good neighbours They have respect Good neighbours It's give and take Good neighbours For heaven's sake I just want to live my life Get off my fucking case! Good neighbours They're living in your attic Good neighbours They're underneath your bed Good neighbours They're hiding in your closet Good neighbours They're going to eat your head!

Missing 03:07

Missing In the still-ill day By the still-ill light Captain Kelly sipped some water and said ‘This feels strange. This feels strange I can see danger I don’t feel danger I feel like a boy scout going camping What a day! What a day! Ice cream time… Ice cream time died with father Died with father In the still-ill day By the still-ill light Captain Kelly floated over and smiled ‘This feels strange This feels strange This feels strange’

Never forever 03:08

Never forever The truth is just something you want to believe in at night Or so I thought But never tell, never tell that story Never take, never take that from me Put about a sordid lie I never. I never I never even spoke to her, I swear Jesus! I never, I never, I swear You are so my truest friend For ever, for ever You mustn’t trust that one ‘cos she’s a snake True friend for ever and ever. That’s long She was not my truest friend For ever, for ever She said that it was her and it was her Friendship? For never, for never. It’s gone

The music tells me This time, every time Time and time and time and time again Thrill me Amaze me Take the notes, the chord, the choir the kill Bring it inside, bring it inside Your sweet head Sweeten, sharpen twist it with desire Better be not, better be not, better be not in vain Be my Jesus Be my lover Be insane I feel freer When the beat comes in So sorted When the beat comes in My special feeling My special feeling My special feeling Inside, take a side Take me back and break me once again Kill me Enslave me Twist the knife, the heart, the mind, the soul Bring it inside, bring it inside Your sweet head Leave me wanting more than you can take Never forget, never forget, never forget yourself Be my angel Be my devil Be my pain The music tells me The music tells me The music tells me all I know The music tells me all I know. No! The music tells me The music tells me The music tells me all I know The music tells me all I know The music tells me all I know

Westway As we crawled up the Westway She said ‘I love the city I love the people I love the noise’ Streets with things on sale And everything’s for sale To the call of the sirens She said I like the mountains I like the fields But most I like… Streets with things on sale And everything’s for sale Streets with things on sale And everything’s for sale Don’t have to think about it I’m made in London Made in London I’m streets of gold! I’m made in London Made in London Town

You say you’re fine You say you’re fine But you’re not Your lovely smile is fake And all your words Certainly not to be trusted Certainly not by me But I like you, strangely I’ll take you on! I’ll take you on! I’ll take you on! I’ll take you on! I think I’m smart But I am not Although it’s my own mind It doesn’t help Certainly not to be trusted Certainly not by me But I like it, strangely And here we are Once again By kissing with cupid Stupid again Certainly not to be started Certainly not by me But I’m going to, certainly So certainly
