I Bet toi Look Good On The Dancefloor (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Stop making the eyes at me, I'll stop making the eyes at you
And what it is that surprises me, is that I don't really want toi to
And your shoulders are frozen, cold as the night
Over you're an explosion, you're dynamite
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
Lighting the fuse might result in a bang

I bet that toi look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or...
I don't know what you're looking for
I bet that toi look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984

I wish you'd stop ignoring me,
because you're sending me to despair
Without a sound you're calling me,
and I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen, cold as the night
Oh you're an explosion, you're dynamite
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
Lighting the fuse might result in a bang

Oh there int no l’amour no, Montague's ou Capulets
just banging tunes in DJ sets and
Dirty dancefloors and dreams of naughtiness

Riot van (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Up rolled the riot van
And sparked excitement in the boys
But the policemen look annoyed
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid

They got a chase last night from men with truncheon's dressed in hats
They didn't do that much wrong, still ran away though for the
laugh

"Please just stop talking
Because they won't find us if toi do
Oh those silly boys in blue
Well they won't catch me and you"

"Have toi been drinking son,
toi don't look old enough to me"
"I'm sorry officer is there a certain age you're supposed to be?...
nobody told me"

Up rolled the riot van
And these lads just wind the coppers up
Ask why they don't catch proper crooks
Get their address and their name's took
But they couldn't care less

He got thrown in the riot van
And all the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin

Teddy Picker (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Despair to the point till they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
Plenty of desperation to be seen
Staring at the télévision screen

Despair to the point where they provoke
You to tell the fucking punchline before toi have told the joke
Sorry sunshine it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the haut, retour au début 100 list

And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
Don't be surprised when toi get bent over,
He told ya, that toi were gagging for it

She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television...

Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Ask if we can have six in, if not we'll have to have 2
You're coming up our end aren't you? So I'll get one with you
Oh won't he let us have six in? especially not with the food
He coulda just told us no though, he dint have to be rude

See her in the green dress? She talked to me at the bar
How come its already two pound fifty? We've only gone about a yard
Dint ya see she were gorgeous, she was beyond belief
But this lad at the side drinking a Smirnoff ice came and paid for her tropical Reef

And I'm sitting going backwards, and I didn't want to leave
Its high green mate, via hillsborough please

How funny...

Old Yellow Bricks (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Old yellow bricks,
Love's a risk,
Quite the little Escapoligist
Looked so miffed,
When toi wished,
For a thousand places better than this,

You are the fugitive,
But toi dont know what you're runnin from,
You cant kid us,
And toi couldnt trick anyone,
Houdini, l’amour toi dont know what you're runnin away from,

Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Blinded par nostalgia,
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?

She wasnt raised par the way,
That the emperor put traps in the cage,
And the days she being dull,
Lead to nights readin bière bottles,

You're such a fugitive,
But toi dont know what...

If toi Were There, Beware (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

If toi were there, beware
The serpent soul pinchers
Three hundred and fifty no thank yous and nobody flinches
Go on girl go on, give us something gruesome
We require your grief, the thugs help the thieves
As they're trying to rob the words from her gob and
Take the source of the innocents

If toi were there, beware
The serpent soul pinchers
Can't toi sense she was never meant
To fill column inches
And you've had enough, what you're trying to dig up
Isn't there to be dug, the thieves help the thugs
As they're trying beat the good grace of a sweetheart

Out to the point she'll comply

Why leave her on her own
If...

Only Ones Who Know (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

In a foreign place, the saving grace was the feeling,
That it was a cœur, coeur that he was stealing,
Oh he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement,
The eyes are bright he couldnt wait to get away,
I bet the juliet was just the icing on the cake,
Make no mistake no,

And even if somehow we could have shown toi the place toi wanted,

Well I'm sure toi could have made it that bit better on your own,
And I bet she told a million people that she'd stay in touch,
Well all the little promises they dont mean much,
When theres memories to be made,
And I hope you're holding hands par new years eve,
They made it far too easy to believe,
That true romance cant be acheived these days,

And even if somebody could have shown toi the place toi wanted,
Well I sure toi could have made it that bit better on your own,
toi are the only ones who know

Fluorescent Adolescent (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

toi used to get it in your fishnets
Now toi only get it in your night dress
Discarded all the naughty nights for niceness
Landed in a very common crisis
Everything's in order in a black hole
Nothing seems as pretty as the past though
That Bloody Mary's lacking a Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

Oh that boy's a slag
The best toi ever had
The best toi ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Not as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My l’amour when toi dream them up...

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she tells she's gonna get it...

D is For Dangerous (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

He knew what he wanted to say
But he did not want to word it
The dirty little Herbert
Was thinking an escape
But the place was well guarded

The guiltyness that started
Soon as the other part had stopped

D is for Delightful
And try and keep your trousers on
I think toi should know you're his favourite worst nightmare
D is for...

Desperately trying to stimulate what it was that was alright
3 quarters of an heure ago
That had led him to be in a position
And every compromission
Another freak episode

He's nearing the brink but he thinks first
The parallel universe perhaps could be the perfect scene
He's nearing the...

505 (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 heure flight ou a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you're waiting lying on your side,
With your hands between your thighs,

Stop and wait a sec,
Oh when toi look at me like that my darling,
What did toi expect,
I probably still adore toi with toi hand around my neck,
Or I did last time I checked,

Not shy of a spark,
A couteau twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark,
Frightened par the bite though its no harsher than the bark,
Middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start,

I'm going back to 505,
If its a 7 heure flight ou a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination...

Brianstorm (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Brian,
Top marks for not trying
So kind of toi to bless us with your effortlessness
We're grateful and so strangely comforted

And I wonder
Are toi putting us under?
'Cos we can't take our eyes off his t-shirt
And ties combination

Well see ya later Innovator!

Some want to Kiss some want to kick you
There's not a net toi couldn't slip through
Or at least that's the impression I get
'Cos you're smooth and you're wet
And she's not aware yet, but she's yours

She'll be sayin' "Use me"
Show me the Jacuzzi
I imagine that it's there on a plate
you're our rendevouz rate
Means that you'll never be frightnened
To make them...

When The Sun Goes Down (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Who's that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She dunt do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob toi if he can
Can see it in his eyes,
That he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences

And I've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
It's all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't toi know
I a dit he's a scumbag, don't toi know!

Although you're trying not to listen
Overt your eyes and staring at the ground
She makes...

Dancing Shoes (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Get on your dancing shoes
There's one thing on your mind
Hoping they're looking for you
Sure you'll be rummaging' through

And the shit, shock, horror
You've seen your future bride
Oh, but it's oh so absurd
For toi to say the first word
So you're waiting and waiting

The only reason that toi came
So what toi scared for?
don't toi always do the same
It's what toi there for, don't toi know

...the lights are flashing
Down in here tonight
And some might exchange a glance
But keep pretending to dance

Don't act like it's not happening
As if it's impolite
To go and mention your name
Instead you'll just do the same
As they...

The Bad Thing (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Do the bad thing,
Take off your wedding ring,
But it wont make it that much easier, it might make it worse,

Oh the nights like a whirlwind,
Somebody's girlfriend's talkin' to me but its alright,
She's sayin that hes not gonna slap me ou try to attack me,
Hes not the jealous type,
And I only need to get half an excuse and im away,
But when theres no excuses thats much easier to say,
I've been before,
And all these capers make her too vers l'avant, vers l’avant to ignore,
Well She's talkin but im not entirely sure, ohh

Do the bad thing,
Take off your wedding ring,
But it wont make it that much easier, it might make it worse,...

Do Me A Favour (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Well, the morning was complete.
There was tears on the steering wheel dripping on the seat,
Several hours ou several weeks,
I'd have the cheek to say they're equally as bleak!

It's the beginning of the end, the car went up the hill,
And disappeared around the bend, ask anyone they'll tell toi that.
It's these times that it tends,
The start to breaking up, to start to fall apart
Oh! hold on to your heart.

Do me a favour, break my nose!
Do me a favour, tell me to go away!
Do me a favour, stop asking questions!

She walked away, well her shoes were untied,
And the eyes were all red,
You could see that we've...

Balaclava (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Running off over suivant doors garden
Before the heure is done
It's plus a question of feeling
Than it is a question of fun
The confidence is the balaclava
I'm sure you'll baffle 'em good
Will the ending reek of salty cheeks
And runny makeup alone

Or will blood run down the face
Of a boy bewildered and scorned
And you'll find yourself in a skirmish
And toi wish you'd never been born
And toi tie yourself to the tracks
And there isn't no going back
And it's wrong wrong wrong
But we'll do it anyway cause we l’amour a bit of trouble

Are toi pulling her from a burning building
Or throwing her to the sharks
Can only hope...

From The Ritz To The Rubble (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

Last night these two bouncers
And one of em's alright
The other one's the scary one
His way ou no way, totalitarian
He's got no time for you
Looking ou breathing
How he dosen't want toi to
So step out the queue
He makes examples of you
And there's nowt toi can say
Behind they go through to the bit where toi pay
And toi realize then that it's finally the time
To walk back past ten thousand eyes in the line
And toi can swap jumpers and make another move
Instilled in your brain you've got something to prove
To all the smirking faces and the boys in black
Why can't they be pleasant?
Why can't they have a laugh?...

Still Take toi accueil (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

It's ever so funny, I don't think you're special I don't think you're cool
You're just probably alreyt, but under these lights toi look beautiful
But I'm struggling, I can't see through your fake tan
And toi know it for a fact that everybody's eating out of your hands

What do toi know?
toi know nothing
But I'll still take toi home

Fancy seeing toi in here, you're all tarted up and toi don't look the same
I haven't seen toi since last an and surprisingly toi have forgot my name
But toi know it and toi knew it all along
Oh toi say toi have forgotten, but you're fibbing go on tell me I'm wrong

I fancy toi with a passion, you're a Topshop princess, a rockstar too
You're a fad you're a fashion and I'm having a job trying to talk to you
But it's alright, put it all on one-side,
everybody's looking, you've got control of everyone's eyes
Including mine

toi Probably Couldn't See for the Lights But toi Were Staring... (Lyrics)

posted by _naiza

One look sends it coursing through the veins oh how the feeling races
Back up to their brains to form expressions on there stupid faces
They don't want to say hello
Like I want to say hello
Oh the heartbeats at its peak when you're coming up to speak

And I'm so tense, never tenser
Could all go a bit Frank Spencer?
I'm talking gibberish, tip of the tongue but I can't deliver it
...Properly, oh it's all getting on haut, retour au début of me
And if it weren't this dark you'd see how red my face has gone

Everybody's trying to crack the jokes and that to make toi smile
Those that claim that they're not montrer off are drowning in denial
They're not half as bad as me say anything and I'll agree
When it comes to jouer la comédie up, I'm sure I could write the book

And now that you're plus than a part in the play
It's slightly easier to think what to say
toi had us all, standing on our heads
Doing our best tricks

Never again, will there be another one that's as desirable as you
