Saint Etienne - Travel Edition 1990-2005 (2005) by Saint Etienne (보컬) on maniadb.com

When you were young and on your own,
how did it feel to be alone?
I was always thinking,
games that I was playing,
trying to make the best of my time.

But only love can break your heart;
try to be sure right from the start.
Yes, only love
can break your heart,
but if your world should fall apart...

I have a friend I’ve nev- -er seen
He hides his head inside a dream
Someone should call him
and see if he can come out,
Try to lose the gang that he’s found.

But only love can break your heart;
try to be sure right from the start.
Yes, only love can break your heart,
but if your world should fall apart...

I was always thinking,
I was always thinking.
I was always thinking,
I was always thinking.
I was always thinking,
I was always thinking.
I was always thinking.
...

I was always thinking,
games that I was playing.
I was always thinking,
games that I was playing.
I was always thinking,
I was always thinking.
I was always thinking,
I was always thinking.
I - I - I - I -
I was always thinking,
games that I was playing.
I was always thinking,
games that I was playing.
I was always thinking,
games that I was playing.
I was always thinking,
games that I was playing.

Thank you every - come on,
give her a proper Liverpool hand you can do better than that!
And now, ladies and gentlemen what you've been waiting for.

(sung)
I've come a long way
(spoken)
I've come a long long way since the day you walked into my life
(sung)
You walked into my life
(spoken)
You smoothed out all of the rough edges with your sweet
love and devotion
(sung)
I was tired, in love like a fool
(spoken)
I was tired of living the life of a fool I was wondering
where I'd gone wrong
(sung)
But I know it's gonna work out fine
(spoken)
But I know it's gonna work out fine when I see that
look in your eyes

CHORUS
yeah
I've never felt so good
I've never felt so strong
Nothing can stop us now
No, no, no, no

(sung)
I've heard some people say
(spoken)
Yeah nothing can stop us now I've heard people
say that a man who needs a woman is weak
(sung) So wrong oh they're so wrong
(spoken)
But they'te so wrong because nobody can hide from love
(sung)
Ooh do you want to know
(spoken)
Do you want to know, do you want to know something else that's true?
(sung)
It's true it's true just the touch of your hand, wo-oh
(spoken)
Just the touch of your hand and I know we can make it

CHORUS

I've never felt so strong
I've never felt so good
Nothing can stop us now.

Nothing, nothing etc.

Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart

Pass me the suitcase, baby
I know it's not that easy
And give me my mirror, love
First give me back my memories

And oh, oh, how many years
Is it now Maurice?

Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good

And I was half-asleep
And riding on a slow-coach
I think I lose all these things
Still, meaning I'm not holy

And, oh, oh, your honey-dish
Oh, it's on my list

Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good

Wish my heart's wish climbing out your window
For your savage amusement
You put a spell over me, well
Smells like lemon flavor

Tuesday, if I had you back again
You know I'm against the future
Wednesday, I was a little girl
I was the little girl who'd like to snog your face

And ooh, oh, how many years
Is it now Maurice?

Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good

Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
Ooh, young heart
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good

And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good
And then I shall take back to Maurice
And, ooh, oh the clown's no good

(Introduction sample:)
Cigarette, a cup of tea, a bun.

Ooh...
Button up your sheepskin Carraway,
rainy cafe, Kentish Town, Tuesday.
Barry's looking through the Racing Post,
orders coffee, another round of toast.

Lucy writes a letter,
she'd like to spend an evening with Prince B.

When we meet for a while,
Tuesday morning ten a.m.
When we meet for a while,
Tuesday morning ten a.m.
Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for,
joking around, still digging that sound.
Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for.


Squeezy bottles under Pepsi signs,
Joe and Johnny chew the bacon rind.
Jackie wants to meet the Glitter Band,
Dilworth is a strange and lovely man,
and Eubank wins the fight,
and did you see the KLF last night?

When we meet for a while,
Tuesday morning ten a.m.
When we meet for a while,
Tuesday morning ten a.m.
Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for,
joking around, still digging that sound.

[intro sample (on the album):]
Do you think a girl should go to bed with a feller, if she doesn't love him?
No. [pause] unless it's me.


I heard she drove the silvery sports-car /
Along the empty streets last night. /
Hanging around / with hair-dos like mine. /
No, I haven't seen the kids for some time. /


Picked up her shoes from the red-brick stairway, /
Just like a harpsichordist she moved. /
And back upstairs / at half past two, /
With a paper folded, outside the loo. /


Rain falls / like elvis tears. /
Oh no, / no sugar tonight. /
Out on the high street, / dim all the lights and /
Cry coloured tears again. /


And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) /


Hobart paving, don't you think that's it's time, /
On this platform with the drizzle in my eyes? /
And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Hobart paving, don't you think that's it's time? /
The ticket's in my hand, the train pulls down the line. /


Rain falls / like elvis tears. /
Oh no, / no sugar. /
Out on the high street, / dim all the lights and /
Cry coloured tears. /


And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Oh no, no sugar tonight, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Oh no, no sugar tonight, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
No no, no sugar tonight. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me...

Ooh, what are you thinking of?
Boy, what are you dreaming of? (Anyway,)
I run around the streets to find you,
shout your name, I want to hold you, (what are you thinking of?)
I run around the streets to find you,
shout your name, I want to hold you.


I'll be there to run into your arms.
I'll be there. Won't you hug my soul?


Ooh, what are you thinking of?
Boy, you're thinking about my love. (Anyway,)
You're walking through my dreams at night,
losing all my appetite, oh no, (what are you thinking of?)
You're walking through my dreams at night,
Losing all my appetite, oh no,


I'll be there to run into your arms.
I'll be there. Won't you hug my soul?

I'll be there. Baby, we're alright (alright, alright.)


I'll be there to run into your arms.

He's on the phone, / and she wants to go home; /
shoes in hand, / don't make a sound, / it's time to go.

(Ooh-ooh) /
Someday (someday), someday. /

He's on the phone, / doesn't want to go home. /
The hotel life - / forget your wife, / you're on your own.

It's five to twelve / and she's nervous as hell, /
with nothing to lose, / it's hard to choose / it's hard to tell. /
(The remix has this additional couplet:
And her's is lilac and gold; /
the things she has, / she's feeling sad, / she's feeling old.) /
Skin is dewdrop and warm; /

(The remix contains the middle section:
Qu'en habit pourpre et net, / de mes cendres fictions, /
pour l'encore inconnu(e), attendu(e); / )
Je resurrecte encore et encore. /
Je resurrecte / encore / et encore. /

He's on the phone / and she wants to go home, /

A simple / good morning /
Or hello would have done /
The silence / 10 am /
Not my idea of fun /
The papers / the photos /
Things were found in the fire /


Chorus:
Something that you said /
The look upon your face /
Something in the way you hold me /
I know what they say /
I know what this means /
I know that you never told me /


A change of hair colour /
Clairol Baby-Blond /
I'm not quite used to it /
It never takes too long /
No makeup / No earrings /
Nothing to identify me /


Chorus


Repeat chorus several times...

Seventeen, high-school queen,
Yeah you're pretty cute, I can see.
Well you've come a long way since September,
But, Sylvie, you oughtta remember,
You know he's mine.
You know he's mine.
You know he's mine.
Sylvie, girl, I'm a very patient person,
But I'll have to shut you down,
If you don't give up your flirting.
Leave him alone, 'cos I know he loves me.
Leave him alone, 'cos he tells me he loves me.
Over and over and over and over again.
Over and over and over and over again.
Seventeen, high-school queen,
Yeah you're pretty cute, I can see.
Well you've come a long way since September,
But, Sylvie, you oughtta remember,
You know he's mine.
You know he's mine.
You know he's mine.
Sylvie, girl, although you're my little sister,
Well you're not without your charms,
I'm not sure that he'll resist you.
Give it all up, for we see you crying.
Give it all up, 'cos I know you've been trying.
Over and over and over and over again.
Over and over and over and over again.
Over and over and over and over again.
(repeat to fade, with backing vocals of 'Oh, Sylvie girl, oh Sylvie girl.'

She walked out on you last Saturday
Under the wheels
Of a crowd on main street USA
Know how it feels

She said cancel everything
And like a fool
You never see what's happening
She dropped out school

Get away let her go
Let her go now
Hey in your brain
Yeah you know
Let her go now

I should have told you
To lose that girl
I should have told you
That's not your world

On her radio she'd turn the disco down
Disco down

She thought she looked good in purple jeans
From Santa Fe
And she overdosed on magazines

Just fade to grey

A rose scented June
A rose he pulled in June
They're full upon the lawn
The doctor came at dawn

An old daily care
And Suzie Banana Stand
Through frosted windowpane
Your father's middle name
>From a train
And everywhere the snow falls
Sail away (x4)

A veil (pale(?)) faded blue
A Ruben's old curfew(?)
One windy Winter's day
A Windsor market day
People say
Everywhere the snow falls
Sail away (x8)

She's moving down the seaside
'Cause that's where he comes from
He gave away all of her records
Is that where she belongs?

Better think it through
Remember who
Is there something new?
Or is it you again?

Sail away (x12)

So take your red gown
And go down to the dam
To do as you please
On the streets of your town

The whistling kind
Shake it out of your mind
It could be the day
When you finally say
Sail away (x6)
On and on (x7)

Sarah speaks (2 lines missing):
Up the riverbank, land that dried up
The causeway full of nice cars
The sand a distant dream
_____________ (?) ______________
_____________ (?) ______________
Across the riverbank
Cross the riverbank, don't look back

Background sings:
To sail away
And on and on

Sarah sings:
I sail, you sail
I sail, you sail
Do you remember how? (x4)
Do you remember how we used to live? (x3)

Took a trip down Anita Way
Had to go on the 1st of May
Didn't have much to celebrate
Heart failed in the back of a taxi
Heart failed in the back of a taxi
doot do do
doot do do

Get yer kicks all around the world
Give a tip to a geisha girl
Fit your bit with a piece of pearl
Heart failed in the back of a taxi
Heart failed in the back of a taxi
doot do do
doot do do

Sold the ground to a PLC
Moved the club out to Newbury
Sod the fans and their families
Heart failed in the back of a taxi
Heart failed in the back of a taxi

Picture-house built in '23
It's a place out of history
Pulled it down for your cash money
Heart failed in the back of a taxi
Heart failed in the back of a taxi
doot do do
doot do do

Have you ever been
To a harvester before?

Drift along
Drift along
Gonna find them
Drift along
Gonna find them

Drift along
Drift along
Drift along

Need to make it special
Need to make it new
Looking for the action
Something more to do

Underneath the pavement
Towers in the clouds
Gotta find the action
Need it soon, right now

Drift along
Drift along
Drift along

'Cause I've been searching for
All the people I used to turn to and
All the people who knew the answer
Let's get the feeling again

'Cause I've been searching for
All the people I used to turn to and
All the people who knew the answer
Let's get the feeling again

Back in sweet suburbia
Middle of the road
Looking for the action
Everywhere I go

Need to make it special
Need to make it new
Looking for the action
Something more to do

Drift along
Drift along
Drift along

'Cause I've been searching for
All the people I used to turn to and
All the people who knew the answer
Let's get the feeling again

'Cause I've been searching for
All the people I used to turn to and
All the people who knew the answer
Let's get the feeling again

'Cause I've been searching for
All the people I used to turn to and
All the people who knew the answer
Let's get the feeling again

'Cause I've been searching for
All the people I used to turn to and
All the people who knew the answer
Let's get the feeling again

At a desk across the hall
She makes another call
Didn't mean to hear you shout
What's that all about?

She said she always stays up late
She never looked so great
But she's moving Saturday to a flat in Maida Vale

Fascination, you talk so much about her
Fascination, it's clear you love to say her name
You love to say her name

So you all went to the bar
To celebrate the news
But she couldn't stay for long
'cause she had some things to do

Fascination, you talk too much about her
Fascination, it's clear you love to say her name
Fascination, I know too much about her
Lately it's clear
Lying with the evening sun
Warm against your cheek
You are working out, what she'll be doing
What you are going to say to her next week

Fascination, you talk too much about her
Fascination, it's clear you love to say her name
Fascination, I know too much about her
Fascination, it's clear you love to say her name.

Natwest, Barclays, Midlands, Lloyds.
Use a bank? I'd rather die.


I loved to draw when I was a little girl
It helped me see the world as I wanted it to be
Sometimes I walk home through a network of car parks
Just because i can
I love the feeling of being slightly lost
To find new spaces, new routes, new areas
I love the lack of logic
I love the feeling of being slightly lost

I belive that music in the long run can straighten out most things
There are too many bands that act lame
Sound tame
I believe In Electrelane
Over here it's new, it's now, it's you, it's clean
The beard and lipstick scene
So look beyond Big brother, gossip culture,
So bored of stupidity
The myth of common sense
I believe in Donovan over Dylan
In love over cynicism
Oh, ??????????

Finisterre, to tear it down and start again (x3)
Think about the love back in Finisterre

Five miles north is a town
of silver birches
Twenty-seven chuches
A look of horror if you drop a H
Around here its hoods up and heads down
Got it the wrong way around
When things get turned around
I slow down
Dream about the notion of the perfect city
Imagine the 19th century never happened
Just a straight run from Beau Brummell to Bauhaus
Dreams never end
This house believes in skyscrapers

Chorus (x5):
Finisterre, to tear it down and start again
Think about the love back in Finisterre

I want to know the whole of the city with you


You see McGee was into deals, Barrett was into moves.
