No More Talk

Talking is Useless

When your cards have all been shown

I'll make you feel bitter

And I never use the phone

'Cause I'm not the kind of person

Soft enough to cry

I'm not the kind of person

To hide when I can fight, so

Breakout now, let the feelings out

And take the blame away

And leave the past for another day

Please no more talk today

'Cause I'm not the kind of person

Who likes to hang around

And I'm not the kind of person

To sympathize with self indulgence

Talking is stupid

Now my interest has flown

I'll make you feel useless

If you call me on the phone

Not Once, Not Ever

Hello my dear friend

Your reputation's quite true

These are thoughts I've held on

And saved inside for you

'Cause I remember...

Couldn't trust you once, not ever

Maybe it's been two years, it could be three

You know it's hard to recall

I was younger, I thought it was me

Maybe you were someone else then too

'Cause I remember...

Couldn't trust you once, not ever

I remember...

Couldn't trust you once, not ever

It's the same old thing

You know I said it from the start

That living together is something you do

Married is something you are

Now...

And even after all this I writing to you now

To be reminded of it all

Darling can you hear me do you understand

Our best decisions so often were unplanned

Not So Manic Now

The wind's whistling

My mind's twisting

I was making myself the usual cup of tea

When the doorbell strangely rang

Because I've been up here for a while

I'm starting to feel tha monotony of a tower block

I'm not so manic now

I can uphold the weight of those neighbours

And she's lifting and throwing to the wall

The post-natal harmonies of youth

When this younger man - 25

Advantageously took away her pride

I staggered shaking slowly to the door

Through the frosted panel I can see you

Your intentions as a salesman truly cush

You endeavoured as a psycho just to push

And whilst lifting and throwing to the wall

My puny structure of an ageing OAP

No reason why you chose my flat

Breathing deeply in a trance

I'm not so manic now

Polestar

You and I

Northern lights

You were wrong

I saw the polestar

And knew that

England

I thought you were right

Walking me home in the icy cold night

You and I

Worlds alright

You were wrong

I saw the polestar

And knew that

England

I thought you were right

Walking me home in the icy cold night

England

I thought you were right

Hiding from smog in the Newcastle light

I was wrong

Popdorian

Dorian puts on a smile and he's out tonight

Dorian always forgetting what's out of sight

Every other weekend he's around in there

Old enough to know that he could die but too young to care

Dorian puts on a smile and says "I'm O'k"

Dorian felt alright but I couldn't say

Collectively we give our trust so foolishly

I never even bothered who was around before me

Dorian puts on a smile for my sister now

There's no hate in me for that but I don't know how

Collectively we give our trust so foolishly

I never even bothered who was around before me

Dorian puts on a smile on his old face now

Dorian realising he's had it now...

Poupée De Cire Poupée De Son

Je suis une poupée de cire
Une poupée de son
Mon coeur est gravé dans mes chansons
Poupée de cire poupée de son

Suis-je meilleure suis-je pire
Qu'une poupée de salon
Je vois la vie en rose bonbon
Poupée de cire poupée de son

Mes disques sont un miroir
Dans lequel chacun peut me voir
Je suis partout а la fois
Brisée en mille éclats de voix

Autour de moi j'entends rire
Les poupées de chiffon
Celles qui dansent sur mes chansons
Poupée de cire poupée de son

Elles se laissent séduire
Pour un oui pour un nom
L'amour n'est pas que dans les chansons
Poupée de cire poupée de son

Mes disques ont un miroir
Dans lequel chacun peut me voir
Je suis partout а la fois
Brisée en mille éclats de voix

Seule parfois je soupire
Je me dis а quoi bon
Chanter ainsi l'amour sans raison
Sans rien connaоtre des garзons

Je n'suis qu'une poupée de cire
Qu'une poupée de son
Sous le soleil de mes cheveux blonds
Poupée de cire poupée de son

Mais un jour je vivrai mes chansons
Poupée de cire poupée de son
Sans craindre la chaleur des garçons
Poupée de cire poupée de son

Redirected Mail

Every day they're waiting

Distant points ask us for me

This is redirected mail

Redirected mail

A Valentine above there

Lost words of love from me

This is redirected mail (I'm sorry)

Redirected mail (I left you)

Redirected mail (I'm sorry)

Redirected

I can't bother men

Ends me seeing them

Sends me back to them

Turns me holding them

This is redirected mail (I'm sorry)

Redirected mail (I left you)

Redirected mail (I'm sorry)

Redirected mail

And every day you're waiting

Every day remind us <...>

I can't open you

Ends me knowing you

Brings me back to you

Keeps me loving you

I'm sorry

I left you

Rise To The Top

Day to day your eyes are cold
Living turned to rot
Make your way through everything
With never time to stop

And with the way you look at every day
You know that things are gonna get worse
And the thoughts that lead to everything
Are the only way you know to cope

But but

You’ve got to rise, got to rise
To the top, to the top

You’ve got to rise, you've got to rise
To the to the to the top

And tonight your talk is high
Dreams are turned to life
Drink your way through everyone
With never time to fly

But with the way you look at every day
You know that things are gonna get worse
And the thoughts that lead to everything
Are the only way you know to cope

But but

Say The Worst Thing First

Say the worst thing first

You could swear you wouldn't change

But my words had lips that chose to tip

The balance just the same

I believe that some things can work

Better in the dark

But my one regret's we didn't get

A torch before the start

And now we'll never speak again

My face says everything

And now we'll never speak again

My face says everything

Say the worst thing first

You said you couldn't, better wait

But my words were knives that broke our lives

I did it just the same

I deceive, I try to be

A bigger cheat than you

But I know too late it's not so great

To hide away the truth

And now we'll never speak again

My face says everything

One my time for all times

I should've shut my mouth and

Closed my eyes

To cross my legs

To save these words

This face says everything

And now we'll never speak again

My face says everything

And now we'll never speak again

My face says everything

And now we'll never speak again

My face says everything

One my time for all times

I should've shut my mouth

And now we'll never speak again

Secrets

You've been reading my diary

You have taken my heart away

Now you know me inside out

You know my secrets

That was my sanctuary

That was my secret

I need to hide things from you

And now you know

You've been reading my diary

You have taken my heart away

Now you know me inside out

You know my secrets

So now I'm lying open

Brought to my knees by my own knees

What I write has really hurt you

So show it around

Show it around

You've been reading my diary

So show it around

You've been reading my diary

Show it around

You've been reading my diary

You have taken my heart away

Now you know me inside out

You know my secrets

So what do you thinking

That you got one upon me

Is that what really matters?

Is that the most?

You've been reading my diary

You have taken my heart away

Now you know me inside out

You know my secrets

You've been reading my diary

You have taken my heart away

Now you know me inside out

You know my secrets

You know my secrets (and now you know)

You know my secrets (and now you know)...

She's Still Sad

Please let it be like before again,
Please let me feel like before again,
Spinning fast on tiptoe in a field of sun
The freshness gave me real strength inside to go on

Please let it be like before again
Cut these cruel strings let me soar again
Past the grainy houses full of tiny minds
Perhaps I'm too proud but I must leave this life behind

Please let it be like before again...

Song No. 9

I came to this town
A weekend with my boyfriend
His final year away

This time

Remember how

We sneaked around the last time
Then without a sound

We knew that

New Year's just around the corner somehow
I should be somebody's partner, but we know:

He's working late
A barman at the Union
And left me in the house
You were there
Remember your

Alarm clock on his bedside
And thinking we'd be heard
No-one came

Christmas seems so far behind me, we know:
New Year couldn't be the same

You can't face me
I'm just your flatmate's girlfriend
On Monday I'll be gone
Till then

I won't touch you I won't smile, I won't try
You will laugh and be the same, I won't cry
New Year's going to be the same...

Starfish

Our eyes meet over many keema nans

And a bottle of low cal fizz

The waiter seems to know you, you understand

The menu and what to choose

Korma man with trousers down

Children...

I know how I'm supposed to be confused

By your preference for Starfish films

Korma man with trousers down

Children...

Korma man with trousers down

Children with wraps of brown

Stars

Is it asking too much to be given time
To know these songs and to sing them
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile
And my laugh and lies that bring them

But as the stars are going out
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life my God I'm singing

We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out

We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out

Is it asking too much of my favourite friends
To take these songs for real
Is it asking too much of my partner's hands
to take these songs for real

Is it asking too much

I'll watch the stars go out
Is it asking too much...

Stay

I got you
And I’m willing to prove
If you want it right now
I’ll be ready to go
‘Cause I’m no one
And I’ve nothing to move
I’ll just let you right in
And pay my world when you lose

Lay here in the Sun
Let Sarah make it better
Your life has just begun
And Sarah makes it better

(Stay) I’ll make you better
(Stay) I’ll see you right
(Stay) I’ll be your father
(Stay) I’ll take it tight

I got you
And I’m willing to prove
If you need me right now
I’m the one that you knew
‘Cause I’m no one
With the great side moves
I can move it with you
And fill your world like you knew

So lay here in the Sun

Let Daddy make you better
Your life has just begun
And Sarah makes it better

So lay here in the Sun

Lay here in the Sun

So lay here in the Sun

Sarah makes it bet-bet-bet…

(Stay) I’ll make you better
(Stay) I’ll see you right

St. Swithin's Day

Thinking back now
I suppose you were just stating your views
What was it all for?
for the weather or the battle of agincourt

And the times that we all hoped would last
Like a train they have gone by so fast
And though we stood together by the edge of the platform
We were not moved by them...

With my own hands
When I make love to your memory
It's not the same
I miss the thunder, I miss the rain

And the fact that you don't understand
Casts a shadow over this land
But the sun still shines

From behind it...

Thanks all the same
But I cannot bring myself to answer your letters
It's not your fault
But your honesty touches me like a fire

The polaroids that keep us together
Will surely fade away
Like the love that we spoke of forever

On Saint Swithin's day

...on Saint Swithin's day...

Swansong

I’m a liar
You’re a cheat
I’m tired
You’re asleep

Times change
And so, so must we
Old arrangements
Too old to keep

So let us dance to the songs
Dance to the songs
Those were the days

Those were the days

Dance to the songs
Decisions were wrong
Those were the days, my friend

You are homeless
I’m inside
You’re so bitter
I have my pride

Days are long
When your heart is void
Swansong
We can’t avoid

So let us dance to the songs
Dance to the songs
Those were the days
Getting your way
Dance to the songs
Decisions were wrong
Those were the days, my friend

Dance to the songs

Dance to the songs
Those were the days
Those were the days

Dance to the songs

Dance to the songs
Those were the days
Those were the days
