LEAVE BEFORE THE LIGHTS COME ON
VERSE 6 And you woke up together
VERSE 1
Not quite realising how
Well, this is a good idea
Oh, but he's stretching and yawning
He wouldn't do it if it wasn't
It's always hard in the morning
He wouldn't do it if it wasn't one
VERSE 2
CHORUS 2
Well, my friend fancies you
And I suppose that's the price you pay
Oh, what a way to begin it all
Well, oh, it isn't what it was
You said they're always exciting
She's thinking he looks different today
Words to hear
And oh, there's nothing left to guess now
VERSE 3 And we woke up together Not quite realising how
PRELUDE 1 (X2) Quick, let's leave
Oh, when you're stretching and yawning
Before the lights come on
It's always hard in the morning
'Cause then you don't have to see
CHORUS 1
'Cause then you don't have to see
And I suppose that's the price you pay
What you've done
Well, oh, it isn't what it was She's thinking he looks different today
PRELUDE (X4)
And oh, there's nothing left to guess now
I'll walk you up
VERSE 4 You left before the lights came on Because you didn't want to ruin What it was that was brewing Before he absolutely had to
VERSE 5 And how can you wake up With someone you don't love? And not feel slightly fazed by it Oh, he had a struggle
What time's the bus come? I'll walk you up What time's the bus come? I'll walk you up What time's the bus come? I'll walk you up What time's the bus come?
FAKE TALES OF SAN FRANCISCO VERSE 1 Fake Tales of San Francisco Echo through the room More point to a wedding disco Without a bride or groom
VERSE 2 There's a super cool band yeah With their trilbys and their glasses of white wine
She screams down the line "The band weren't very good And I'm not having a nice time"
CHORUS 2 I don't want to hear you Kick me out, kick me out I don't want to hear no Kick me out, kick me out
PRELUDE 1 Yeah but his bird thinks it's amazing, though
And all the weekend rockstars are in the toilets
So all that's left
Practicing their lines
Is the proof that love's not only blind but deaf
CHORUS 1 I don't want to hear you
PRELUDE 2
Kick me out, kick me out
He talks of San Francisco, he's from Hunter's Bar
I don't want to hear no
I don't quite know the distance
Kick me out, kick me out
But I'm sure that's far
I don't want to hear you
Yeah I'm sure that's pretty far
Kick me out, kick me out
PRELUDE 3
I don't want to hear you
And yeah, I'd love to tell you all of my problems
I don't want to hear your
VERSE 3 Fake Tales of San Francisco Echo through the air And there's a few bored faces in the back All wishing they weren't there
VERSE 4 And as the microphone squeaks A young girl's telephone beeps
You're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham So get off the bandwagon, and put down the handbook Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
PRELUDE 4 Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
Yeah she's dashing for the exit
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
And she's running to the streets outside
Get off the bandwagon and put down the handbook
"Oh you've saved me",
Yeah
OLD YELLOW BRICKS VERSE 1
CHORUS 2
Old yellow bricks, love's a risk
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
Quite the little escapoligist Looked so miffed, when you wished For a thousand places better than this
Blinded by nostalgia Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
VERSE 2 You are the fugitive
PRELUDE 1
But you don't know what you're running from
You're at a loss just because
You can't kid us And you couldn't trick anyone Houdini, love, you don't know what you're running away from
CHORUS 1 Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up? Blinded by nostalgia Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
VERSE 3 She was enraged by the way That the emperor put traps in the cage And the days, she being dull Lead to nights reading beer bottles
VERSE 4 You are the fugitive But you don't know what you're running from You can't kid us And you couldn't trick anyone Houdini, love, you don't know what you're running away from
It wasn't all that you thought it was You are a fugitive But you don't know what you're running away from
PRELUDE 2 She said I want to sleep in the city that never wakes up And revel in nostalgia I know I said he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up but
Dorothy was right though
MY PROPELLER
VERSE 1 If you can summon the strength tow me I can't hold down the urgency You've got to make your descent slowly And oil up those sticky keys
CHORUS 1 Coax me out my low and have a spin of my propeller
VERSE 2 It's a necessary evil No cause for emergency Borrowed the beak off a bald eagle Momentary synergy
CHORUS 2 Coax me out my low Sink in to tomorrow Coax me out my low and have a spin of my propeller
PRELUDE 1 (X4) My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own When are you arriving? My Propeller
A CERTAIN ROMANCE
VERSE 4
VERSE 1
Don't get me wrong though, there's boys in bands
Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks Or knackered Converse Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks But all of that's what the point is not The point's that's there ain't no romance around there
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands And just cause he's had a couple of cans He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead
CHORUS 2 VERSE 2 And there's the truth that they can't see
Don't you know, oh it's a funny thing you know We'll tell if you like
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
We'll tell all tonight
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Because their minds are made up
Agree that there ain't no romance around there
And course it's all okay to carry on that way
CHORUS 1
PRELUDE 1
You know, oh it's a funny thing you know
But I said no
We'll tell them if you like We'll tell them all tonight They'll never listen Because their minds are made up
They'll never listen
Oh no Well you won't get me to go Not anywhere, not anywhere No, I won't go Oh no, no
And course it's all okay to carry on that way
PRELUDE 2 VERSE 3
Well over there there's friends of mine
Over there there's broken bones
What can I say, I've known them for a long long time
There's only music, so that there's new ring tones
And they might overstep the line
And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes
But you you just cannot get angry in the same way
To see it's a little different around here
No, not in the same way So not in the same way Oh no, oh no no
CIGARRETTE SMOKER FIONA
VERSE 4 Well I never came from no ghetto
VERSE 1
But it wasn't nowhere near here
Sat at the side of the pool at one of your houses
Well spoken girls in stilettos Aren't something to fear
With wet white trousers on And worlds collide as the evening continues The dignity fucks off
CHORUS 2 Cigarette smoker I'm sorry but we're all unsure
VERSE 2 Her brother's gone off to the strippers To make up for all the lost time
How much you've had But we think that you ought to Maybe not have anymore
She could have been one of the bitches
CHORUS 3
But she's actually alright
Cigarette smoker I'm sorry but we're all unsure
CHORUS 1
How much you've had
Cigarette smoker
But we think that you ought to
I'm sorry but we're all unsure
Maybe not have anymore
How much you've had But we think that you ought to
FINAL CHORUS
Maybe not have anymore
Cigarette smoker Cigarette smoke doesn't hide
VERSE 3
As well as you think
A country home
And you think that it ought to act
Even if we really tried
As the perfect disguise
Wouldn't cease to surprise us now And I bet your dad would like To give us all a slap When are ya parents back d'you know?
