Stop making the eyes at me I'll stop making the eyes at you What it is that surprises me is that I don't really you to And your shoulders are frozen (as cold as the night) Oh, but you're an explosion but you're dynamite Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand Lightning the fuse might in a bang with a bang-go
I said I bet that you look good on the dance floor I don't know if you're looking for romance or what Don't know what you're looking for Well I bet that you look good on the dance floor Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984 from 1984
I wish you'd stop ignoring me because you're sending me to despair Without a sound yeh you're calling me and I don't think it's very fair That your shoulders are frozen (as cold as the night) Oh, but 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 with a bang-go
I said I bet that you look good on the dancefloor I don't know if you're looking for romance or what I don't know what you're looking for I said I bet that you look good on the dance floor Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984 From 1984
Oh there ain't no love no Montagues and Capulets We just banging tunes 'n' DJ sets 'n' Dirty dancefloors and dreams of naughtyness
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 top 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 you smile Those that claim that they're not showing off are drowning in denial They're not half as bad as me say anything and I'll agree When it comes to acting up, I'm sure I could write the book
And now that you're more than a part in the play It's slightly easier to think what to say You had us all, standing on our heads Doing our best tricks
Never again, will there be another one that's as desirable as you
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 you look beautiful But I'm struggling, I can't see through your fake tan And you know it for a fact that everybody's eating out of your hands
What do you know? you know nothing But I'll still take you home
Fancy seeing you in here, you're all tarted up and you don't look the same I haven't seen you since last year and surprisingly you have forgot my name But you know it and you knew it all along Oh you say you have forgotten, but you're fibbing go on tell me I'm wrong I fancy you 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
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 there ain't no romance around there And there's the truth that they can't see They'd probably like to throw a punch at me And if you could only see them then you would agree Agree that there ain't no romance around there You know oh it's a funny thing you know We'll tell 'em if you like We'll tell 'em all tonight They'll never listen Cause their minds are made up And course it's all okay to carry on that way And over there there's broken bones There's only music so that there's new ringtones And it don't take no Sherlock Holmes To see it's a little different around here Don't get me wrong oh there's boys in bands 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 Don't you know oh it's a funny thing you know We'll tell em if you like We'll tell em all tonight They'll never listen Cause their minds are made up And course it's all okay to carry on that way But I said no Oh no Well you won't get me to go Not anywhere not anywhere No I won't go Oh no no
Well over there there's friends of mine What can I say I've known 'em for a long long time And they might overstep the line But I just cannot get angry in the same way Not in the same way Not in the same way Oh no oh no no
If you were there, beware the serpent soul pinchers Three hundred and fifty 'no thank you's' 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 innocence
If you were there, beware the serpent soul pinchers Can't you 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 be the good grace of a sweetheart Out to the point she'll comply
Why leave her on her own? If I'd have known then I wouldn't have said it I wouldn't have said it if I would have known
Why leave her on her own? If I predicted tears then I wouldn't have said it I wouldn't have said it if I would have known
There's a circle of witches, ambitiously vicious they are Our attempts to remind them of reason won't get us that far I don't know what it is that they want I don't know what it is that they want But I haven't got it to give She hasn't got it to give
Library pictures of the quickening canoe The first of it's kind to get to the moon Trust some ellipses to chase you round the room Through curly straws and metaphors and goo Been watching all the neon blossom flickering You look as if you've all forgotten where you've been Going riding through the thunder suckle fuzz canyon 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 3, 2, 1 Library pictures of the quickening canoe The first of it's kind to get to the moon Give me an eenie meenie miney mo Or an ip dip dog shit rock n roll
Break a mirror, roll the dice Run with scissors through a chip pan fire fight go into business with a grizzly bear but just don't sit down cause I've moved your chair
find a well known hardmanand start a fight wear your shell suit on bonfire night
Fit a circular hole with a peg that's square but just don't sit down cause I've moved your chair
(Ohhhh Yeah Yeah Yeah) (Ohhhh Yeah Yeah Yeah)
bite the lighting and tell me how it tastes kung-fu fighting on your rollerskates do the macarena in the devil's lair but just don't sit down cause I've moved your chair
Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm She flicks a red-hot revelation off the tip of her tongue It does a dozen somersaults and it leaves you supercharged Makes me wanna blow her candles out just to see if you glow in the dark Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet booby-trap I took the batteries out my mysticism and put 'em in my thinking cap She's got a telescopic hallelujah hanging up on the wall For when it gets too complicated in the eye of the storm Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Oh... And in a hellcat spangled cavern When your judgement's on the run And you're acting like a stranger Cause you thought it looked like fun Well did you ever get the feeling Did you think she set the fall Her steady hands may well have done the devil's pedicure What you waiting for? To sing another fuckin' Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala

Lately I've been seeing things Belly button piercings In the sky at night When we're side by side And I don't mean to rain On anybody cabriolet One of those games You're gonna lose But you wanna play it Just in case
Now it's getting dark And the sky looks sticky More like black treacle than tar Black treacle Somebody told the stars You're not coming out tonight And so they found a place to hide
Does it help you stay up late Does it help you concentrate Does it tune you in When you chew your chin Am I ruining your fun
And you talk the talk alright But do you walk the walk Or catch the train You wanted it, you got it But you don't want it now
Now it's getting dark And the sky looks sticky More like black treacle than tar Black treacle Somebody told the stars You're not coming out tonight And so they found a place to hide
Now I'm out of place And I'm not getting any wiser I feel like The Sundance Kid Behind the synthesizer And I tried last night To pack away the laugh Like a key under the mat But it never seems to be there When you want it
She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms
I've been feeling foolish You should try it She came unsubstituted the peace and quiet For acrobatic blood flow concertina Cheating heartbeat, rapid fire
She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms
Here is your host Sounds as if she's pulling close When the heat starts growing horns She's thunderstorms
She's been loop-the-looping around my mind Her motorcycle boots give me this kind of Acrobatic blood concertina Cheating heartbeat, rapid fire
She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms
In an unusual place When you're feeling far away She does what the night does to the day
She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms
Break a mirror, roll the dice Run with scissors through a chip pan fire fight go into business with a grizzly bear but just don't sit down cause I've moved your chair
find a well known hardmanand start a fight wear your shell suit on bonfire night
Fit a circular hole with a peg that's square but just don't sit down cause I've moved your chair

I’m going back to 505, if it’s a 7 hour flight or 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 you look at me like that my darling, What did you expect, I’ll probably still adore you with your hands around my neck, Or I did last time I checked
Not shy of a spark, The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark, Frightened by the bite though its no harsher than the bark, The middle of adventure is such a perfect place to start
I’m going back to 505, if it’s a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive, In my imagination you’re waiting, lying on your side, With your hands between your thighs.
But I crumble completely when you cry, It seems like once again you’ve had to greet me with goodbye I’m always just about to go and spoil the surprise Take my hands off of your eyes too soon
I’m going back to 505, if it’s a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive, In my imagination you’re waiting, lying on your side, With your hands between your thighs, and a smile
Old yellow bricks, Love's a risk, Quite the little Escapoligist Looked so miffed, When you wished, For a thousand places better than this,
You are the fugitive, But you dont know what you're runnin from, You cant kid us, And you couldnt trick anyone, Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from,
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?
She was enraged by the way, That the emperor put traps in the cage, And the days she being dull, Lead to nights readin beer bottles,
You're such a fugitive, But you dont know what you're runnin from, You cant kid us, And you couldn't trick anyone, Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from,
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up? Blinded by nostalgia, Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
You're at a loss, Just because, It wasnt all that you thought it was,
You are a fugitive but you dont know what you're runnin away from,
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
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 or try to attack me, Hes not the jealous type, And I ony 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 forward 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,
Oh im stood at the bar and somebody's partner's talkin to me, But I dont know that is what she isnt she murmors things to confirm That the tragedy is true, And I knew 'how could she could have anyone she wants, And im strugglin to think of an immediate response,
Like I dont mind, Be a big mistake, For you to wait, And let me waste your time, Really love its fine, Really love its fine,
And then the first time it occured that there was something to destroy,
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy, Oh but she carried on suggestin, a struggle to refuse, She said "its the red wine this time, but that is no excuse"
I etched the face of a stopwatch On the back of a raindrop And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass. I heard the nun happy ending it sort of sounds like you’re leaving I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.
You look like you’ve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel Inside of a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose. Your waitress was miserable and so was your food. If you’re gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes.
Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer but the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes. I heard the news that you’re trying to shoot me out of a cannon. I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end
Looking for trouble and there's lovers to be had Those ones next to us are such lovely lads Scaling the corridors for maidens in the maze And the anomaly is slipping into familiar ways And we're forever unfulfilled Can't think why Like a search for murder clues In dead man's eyes Forever unfulfilled And can't think why Like a search for murder clues In dead man's eyes
The more you open your mouth The more you're forcing performance All the attention is leading me to feel important (completely obnoxious) Now that we're here, we may as well go too far
Wriggling around just so that you won't forget There's certainly some venom in the looks that you collect Aimlessly gazing at the blazers in the queue Struggling with the notion that it's life not film

Well the morning was complete. There was tears on the steering wheel dripping on the seat, Several hours or 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 you 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 cried, and I watched and I waited, 'Till she was inside, forcing a smile and waving goodbye.
Curiousity becomes a heavy load, Too heavy to hold, too heavy to hold. Curiousity becomes a heavy load, Too heavy to hold, will force you to be cold.
And do me a favour, and ask if you need some help! She said, do me a favour and stop flattering yourself! How to tear apart the ties that bind, perhaps fuck off, might be too kind, Perhaps fuck off, might be too kind.
In a foreign place, the saving grace was the feeling, That it was a heart 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 you the place you wanted,
Well I'm sure you 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 by 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 you the place you wanted, Well I sure you could have made it that bit better on your own, You are the only ones who know
You used to get it in your fishnets Now you 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 you ever had The best you ever had Is just a memory and those dreams Not as daft as they seem Not as daft as they seem My love when you 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 I'm guessing that she'd rather just forget i Clinging to not getting sentimental Said she wasn't going but she went still Likes her gentlemen to not be gentle Was it a Mecca Dobber or a betting pencil?
Oh that boy's a slag The best you ever had The best you ever had Is just a memory and those dreams Weren't as daft as they seem Not as daft as they seem My love when you dream them up Oh, where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go? Woah.
Falling about You took a left off Last Laugh Lane You just sounded it out You're not coming back again.
