Mystery Jets Album

I've been running around, running around
Don't make a sound, don't wanna get found
I've been hiding behind the blinds
But in my mind I don't wanna be that kind of guy

Running around, running around
Don't make a sound, don't wanna get found
I've been hiding behind the blinds
But in my mind I don't wanna be that kind of guy

Undercover lover, took a record off the stack
Undercover lover, left his parker on the rack
Undercover lover, left the tarmac on the track
Undercover lover, took a feather from my hat
Undercover lover, cut a key to the flat
Undercover lover, twist the knife in my back
Undercover lover, maybe doesn't know that
Undercover lover, left a rubber in the sack

Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway

Darling, we've got to talk
I feel like a hawk, taking the back door
Things have got to change
I don't want to blacken my name or be to blame

Darling, we've got to talk
I feel like a hawk, taking the back door
Things have got to change
I don't want to blacken my name or be to blame

Undercover lover's been playing my 45s
Undercover lover's been at my cherry pie
Undercover lover's been grooming my pride
Undercover lover's got you batting both sides
Undercover lover's gonna put me inside
Undercover lover's got it right between the eyes
Undercover lover is in for a surprise
Undercover lover left a rubber in my ride

Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway

Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway
Hideaway, hideaway, hideaway, hideaway

If I only knew your name
I'd go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets
For the place that I once saw

If I only knew your name
I'd go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the girl
I've met just once before

One Night of Love
Nothing more nothing less
One Night of Love
To put my head in a mess
Is that you on the bus?
Is that you on the train?
You wrote your number on my hand
And it came off in the rain

One Night of Love
Nothing more nothing less
One Night of Love
Has put my bed in a mess
Is that you on the bus?
Is that you on the train?
You wrote your number on my hand
And it came off in the rain

If I only knew your name
I'd go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets
For the place that I once saw

If I only knew your name
I'd go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the girl
I've met just once before

Woah-Oh

Young Love
Never seems to last
Far too young
Until they have a past
Playing games
People move so fast
You don't need eyes to see
If someones got a heart of glass

Young Love
Never seems to last
Far too young
Until they have a past
One night of love
Nothing more nothing less
One night of love
Has left my heart in a mess

If I only knew your name
I'd go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets
For the place that I once saw

If I only knew your name
I'd go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the boy
I've met just once before

Woah-Oh

Some things are too painful to say out loud
Well, they live behind a veil and see through a shroud
Words fly through his mouth
Like paper butterflies
Well they flutter around and put holes in your side

And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you

I knew that you were thinking of him last night
'Cos I saw the blood seep down to your toes
Yes, hideaway if you must
But how can you put your trust
In a man who always sleeps in his clothes?

And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you

And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you

You're the sweet scent on an envelope
Or the photo in its book
But if you pin your hopes to his ???
I'm afraid the bubble will burst
I'm afraid that the bubble just might burst

The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst
The bubble will burst

And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you

And he's half in love with Elizabeth
And he's half in love with you

This song
Is one I never thought that I'd play
But if you want me gone
There are kinder ways to say
So long than spitting in my face

They don’t teach these things in school
They just lay down the rules which are there for you to break
Which are there for you to break

If I’m wrong
Then dust me off and put me in my place, but
Drop a bomb
Shall you blow me away without even a trace?
I’ll be gone and I won’t give chase

‘Cause when you’re in pieces, you pick up the bits, and nothing fits, and the wind blows
You away
Oh, the wind blows you away
Oh, the wind blows you away
Oh, the wind blows you away

[vocalization]

I pray
There will come a time when I think of you and I smile
These days
Everything seems to last only a while
Remember the names
For the day when we’d have a child

But the trouble with dreams, they’re not what they seem, ‘cause when you awake, they fall through your fingers
In flakes
They fall through your fingers in flakes
They fall through your fingers in flakes
They fall through your fingers in flakes

[vocalization]

It's in Estonia
It's up the creaky stairway
Deciding that we could share
You know the one we used to share
And it's just the kind of thing that we don't talk about anymore

Remember when your sister was young
She wore a ring in her tongue
Got shown the door by your mum
And now she has a 5 year old son
And it's just the kind of thing that she won't talk about anymore

I'll bet you wouldn't believe me
If I whispered in your ears and said
I can see a pink elephant
and it's standing on the corner of the bed
You'll just smile and roll your eyes to the back of your head

You were a girl, you weren't sure
You cared for your family anymore
Looked for the mother you had before
And it shook them all to the core
And it's just the kind of thing that you don't talk about anymore

I recall your friend back home
She brought up a kid on her own
But he died before he had grown
So she gave you all the clothes that she'd sold
And it's just the kind of thing that she don't talk about anymore

I'll bet you wouldn't believe me
If I whispered in your ear and said
I can see a pink elephant
and it's standing on the corner of the bed
I'll bet you wouldn't believe me
If I whispered in your ear and said
I can see a pink elephant
and it's standing on the corner of the bed
You'll just smile and roll your eyes to the back of your head

You'll just smile and roll your eyes to the back of your head
Yeah, you'll just smile and roll your eyes to the back of your head
Yeah, you'll just smile and roll your eyes to the back of your

I think I'm in love,
With the girl next door
It's driving me crazy
I can't take it anymore
I hear her playing the drums late at night
The neighbours complain but thats the kind of girl I like

And maybe I should call her up
And buy her a round
Maybe I should move to another town
But when I hear those drums late at night
I know I'm in love
With a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love

She and her friends sit at the back of the bus
But I'm always to shy to work the courage up
I hear that she likes to dance around the room
To a worn out 12" of Marquee Moon

And maybe I should say "What's up?"
And buy her a round
Or take her for a spin around the town
Cos when I hear those drums late at night
I know I'm in love
With a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives

And maybe I should call her up
And buy her a round
And one day we could move to another town
Cos when I hear those drums late at night
I know I'm in love
In love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
Two Doors Down
I think I'm in love
I think I'm in love with a girl who lives
Two Doors Down

I think I'm in love with a girl who lives

I think I'm in love with a girl who lives

Don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone

We share a joke in the
Well fine, know how to make you laugh
No hang ups between us
Not like the other girls and love
You're different, confident
Our secret's safe with me
Red lipstick on my cheek
Your love was last all week, girl

I can't tell, can't tell, can't tell anyone
(What we've got going on)
Don't tell, don't tell, don't tell anyone
(What we've got going on)
Hold hands, got plans
(What we've got going on)
Can't tell, can't tell, can't tell anyone

Don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone

Our love is what others could never come to understand
But we like clothes, your heart beats slow
And I can hear with with my hand
We , your father
Ever caught your legs wrapped around me
Tear you from out my arms
And we'd be history, girl

Can't tell, can't tell, can't tell anyone
(What we've got going on)
Don't tell, don't tell, don't tell anyone
(What we've got going on)
Hold hands, got plans, don't tell anyone
(What we've got going on)
Can't tell, can't tell, don't tell anyone

Don't let them see us holding hands
Our love's one thing they'll never understand

Don't let them see us holding hands
Cos our love's one thing they'll never understand

Can't tell, can't tell, can't tell anyone
(What we've got going on)
Don't tell, don't tell, don't tell anyone
(What we've got going on)
Hold hands, got plans, don't tell anyone
(What we've got going on)
Can't tell, can't tell, can't tell anyone

Don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone

They say if you leave a horse alone it dies
Nestles into the hay and shuts its eyes
Well I’ve dreamt of being that horse a hundred times
And I end up a pile of bones and a cloud of flies
And when you’re nine years old you don’t care
If your on your own or one of a pair
And when you get salt in your eyes, sand in your hair
Call for mom or daddy they’ll be there

Please don’t turn me into a man
Cos I don’t want to see my skin fold
Oh please wont you keep me as I am
Oh people look so lonely when they’re old, when they’re old

When you come of age it’s not the same
No umbrella over your head when it rains
And your friends would rather get high than play a game
Oh it’s such a shame the way they change
And Emily’s hung over, bill feels rough
Thinks his girlfriend might be up the duff...again
She threw up twice last night on the bus
And I never thought growing old could be so tough

Oh please don’t turn me into a man
Cos I don’t want to see my skin fold
Oh please wont you keep me as I am
Oh people look so lonely when they’re old, when they’re old

You get high cos you've got low self esteem
You toy with the boy on the football team
Seen you all over and just like a rush
Come home in bruises but always take him back

Do you love me?

Maybe you do, maybe you don't
Maybe you will but maybe you won't
Do you love me?
Maybe you do, maybe you don't
Maybe you do

Your heart is like a hand me down
Some thing to pass around and around
Your heart is like a hand me down
Some thing to pass around and around

Is it cos your daddy was never around
And he's the closest thing to him that you've found?
Tell me if this is too close to the bone
But things hurt the most when they're nearest to home

Do you love me?
Maybe you do, maybe you don't
Maybe you will but maybe you won't
Do you love me?
Maybe you do, maybe you don't
Maybe you do

Your heart is like a hand me down
Some thing to passed around and around
Your heart is like a hand me down
Some thing to passed around and around
Your heart is like a hand me down
Some thing to passed around and around
Your heart is like a hand me down
Some thing to passed around and around

Maybe you do, maybe you don't
Maybe you will, maybe you won't
Maybe you do, maybe you don't
Maybe you will, maybe you won't
Maybe you do, maybe you don't
Maybe you will, maybe you won't
Maybe you do, maybe you don't
Maybe you will, maybe you won't

Your heart is like a hand me down
Some thing to pass around and around
Your heart is like a hand me down
Some thing to pass around and around
Your heart is like a hand me down
Some thing to pass around and around
Your heart is like a hand me down
Some thing to pass around and around

Your heart is like a hand me down
Your heart is like a hand me down

There are people I know
They don't seem to mind or if they do it don't show
But I can't sleep at night
Unless I know it's your talk talk time

I know I'm so paranoid
But I've been that way since I was a boy
Knee high, stage fright
Even if you're alright
I've got to be

The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know

I know it was a long time ago
You left on your own
You kerb crawled home
And I still kick myself now
Should have never allowed
You out of my sight

And I cross my heart and hope to die
If anything happens to you
When you're out of my sight
Wouldn't be the guy who steps in the way
When you're in harm's way
I wanna be

The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know

And if you want some space just squeeze my hand, girl
I understand
You don't have to lie around the same side, girl

I don't wanna be a ball and chain
But I'm just afraid of change
And I'm not the same
But if you think I wanna hold you back
You should know me better than that

I just wanna be the first the know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know
The first to know

Did I strangle you with my love?
Think I saw it wrapped around your throat
The last time I saw you, you looked so pale
And white just like a ghost

It was fun for about 5 little minutes
And then you cleared your throat
My eyes swelled up, I curled my toes
And you said I almost choked
And you said I almost choked

But honey why did you go
Behind the bunhouse?
Didn't you know how much I had to give?
You knocked me over the head
With a rolling pin
And then you got down and you kicked me in the ribs

The penny dropped even before I clocked
Just where your hands had been
It's like you'd done your hair for somebody else
Scared that you might have been seen

I slipped down a flight of stairs
And my face must have looked so long
Cos even the tosser with the saxophone
Was asking me what's wrong
He said 'buddy, what is wrong?'

Honey why did you go
Behind the bunhouse?
Didn't you know how much I had to give?
You knocked me over the head
With a rolling pin
And then you got down and you kicked me in the ribs

Please won't you spare me the details
Before I get up and I go
You wanted to stab me in the back
What do you think I ought not to know?

You see the way I was before we met
I was curled up in a shell
And if I'm not counting planes up in the sky
Then I'm falling down a well
I'm at the bottom of a well

Honey why did you go
Behind the bunhouse?
Didn't you know how much I had to give?
You knocked me over the head
With a rolling pin
And then you got down and you kicked me in the ribs

The boy who cried wolf couldn't take it anymore
They all tried to help but he'd heard it all before
Now he sits in a room with a lock on the door
Holding pictures in his arms and staring at the floor

Oh boy, you don't look a day over twenty one
But you already feel like half your life has gone
And you're close to the edge but you're hanging on
Do yourself a favour, don't do yourself any harm

And you want to tell your story but you don't know where to start
Well, your mother's pretty lonely but she don't have a heart
And you met the rich and famous and they're screwed up the same
Even "love will tear us apart" don't ease the pain

You can wipe the blood from your shoes and the tear from your eye
But the scars on your arms, well, they're harder to hide
Drawing on a cigarette, hoping your head will clear
Is like rubbing on a lamp untill a genie appears

The last time you counted you were twenty three
But you still don't know who you want to be
All of your heroes took their own lives
Do yourself a favour and take my advice

And you want to tell your story but you don't know where to start
Well, your mother's pretty lonely but she don't have a heart
And you met the rich and famous and they're screwed up the same
Even "love will tear us apart" don't ease the pain

Oh boy, you don't look a day over twenty one
But you already feel like half your life has gone
And you're close to the edge but you're hanging on
Do yourself a favour, don't do yourself any harm

And you want to tell your story but you don't know where to start
Well, your mother's pretty lonely but she don't have a heart
And you met the rich and famous and they're screwed up the same
Even "love will tear us apart" don't ease the pain
