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
I'm not so manic now
I'm not so manic now
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
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
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 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, got to rise
To the top, to the top 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 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
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
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'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
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 (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 |
