Saint Etienne Album

Who am i? /
I'm just a girl / who only wants /
To try / to do what's right; /
I'll never make / you cry, /
But you're no good for me, and /
Who do you think you are? /
You tried to push me a bit too far, /
And every day sees another scar. /
Oh tell me, who do you think you are? /
If you want me there, / you gotta care! /
Oh tell me, /

Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care. /
Who do you really think that you are? (who) /

Where are we? (oh where are we? ) /
We're at the cross roads and /
I just / can't see (just can't see) /
Which way to take / to keep you
Here / with me (here with me). /
The lights are changing, baby, /
Who do you think you are? /
You tried to push me a bit too far, /
And every day sees another scar. /
Oh tell me, who do you think you are? /
If you want me there, / you gotta care! /
Oh tell me, /

Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care. /
Who do you really think that you are? (who) /

If you want me there, / you gotta care! /
Oh tell me, /

Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care. /
Who do you really think that you are? (who)/

Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care...

[intro sample on you're in a bad way version:]
You asked me to make a record of my voice. Well here it is. What you want me to say is I love you. Here's the truth. I hate you, you little slut. You make me sick!

When you told me your dream (when you told me your dream)
I wanted to cry.
You almost looked happy (you almost looked happy)
Please don't tell me it's true.
All our neighbours are old (all our neighbours are old)
Street-lamp buzzes all night.
There are some nice parts of London, (there are some nice parts of London)
You can see them from here (you can see them from here, you can see them from here.)

You're not going to change,
We're not moving away.
Were staying here, (staying here.)
Were staying here, (staying here.)

We both work âЂ?til late,
Catch the fifty-eight.
Usually asleep by eleven, (asleep by eleven)
But somehow it didn't seem right
When you turned and said (when you turned and said)
Let's go mad tonight.
So we drank and danced; (so we drank and danced)
For once I felt close to you (for once I felt close to you, for once I felt close to you.)

You're not going to change.
We're not moving away.
We're staying here, (staying here.)
We're staying here, (staying here.)
We're staying here, (staying here.)
We're staying here, (staying here.)
We're staying here, (staying here.)
We're staying here, (staying here.)
We're staying here, (staying here...)

Sing your sing so soft and lonely
Your song so sharp
Softly, slowly, sing so softly

My pillow so soft and lovely
Memory just floats away
Gently, faintly, kiss my lips

Pull back the blinds
Catch the falling snow
21st of June
It’s Christmas in my soul

Sing so softly, softly singing
Softly, slowly, softly, slowly

(I think you’re gorgeous
Let your wings uncurl)

Without beforehand thinking,
Sometimes I say things.
I could never hate you.
I could never hate you.

I do not mean one
Word of what I say.
I don't hate you.
I don't, I do not.

Let's kiss and make up,
Let's kiss and make up.
Let's you and i
Kiss and make up.
Let's kiss and make up,
Let's kiss and make up.
Let's you and i
Kiss and make up.

Without beforehand thinking,
Sometimes I say things.
I could never hate you.
I could never hate you.

I do not mean one
Word of what I say.
I don't hate you.
I love you.

Let's kiss and make up,
Let's kiss and make up.
Let's you and i
Kiss and make up.
Let's kiss and make up,
Let's kiss and make up.
Let's you and i
Kiss and make up.

Let's kiss and make up,
Let's kiss and make up.
Let's you and i
Kiss and make up.
Let's kiss and make up,
Let's kiss and make up.
Let's you and i
Kiss and make up.

[intro sample on You're In A Bad Way version:]
Where is your respirator?
Nicked.
Hm?
Captain - kiss tell.
WHAT?


[The song is an instrumental]

[outro sample on You're In A Bad Way version:]
Each year at this time, five-and-twenty past two, I'm peculiarly partial to a drop of traditional spong-bake. Purchase or hire thirty-eight ripe spongs. Wheel them home, and shoot them. Then simply bake them, and eat them once. The end.

Hello? / [laughs] / hello?

Rhyming as Im coming to the top, / with my back-pack of rhymes I wont stop. /
Every lyric / flying high like a dove / as the lord / sprinkles his love /
On me. / his assigned destiny, / teaching, preaching, cmon / question me! /
I have the answer to the master-plan. / if you cant, / then I can. /

Jumping the chitz(? ) as I speak out, / wondering what its all about, /
Wishing I was only a dream / and I wasnt so extreme. /
Gonna make you see Im not faking it / like all the others that be making it. /
Ecstatic, and stating the facts; / take heed to my extracts. /

Following the paths of me, / eat til you fill your greed. /
Feeding on my knowledge like a cake, / the smell of truth as I bake. /
Some goals / you will achieve; / no loss or debt to believe; /
Believe me, I wouldnt lie, / for my question / I need your reply. /

Whatever / you take from me, /
Whatever / you say, /
I try / to make you see /
Things / my way. /
Touch me, / take my hand. /
Hold on tight. / as tight as you can. /
Ill be with you / all the way. /
Im asking you / wont you stay? /
Its your reality. /

Durbba durbba duhr, /
Badurbba durbba duhr, /
Badurbba durbba duhr, /
Badurbba durbba duhr. /

Earning respect from the crowd / as expression of my meaning comes loud, /
Bringing it all across / so as you know whos boss. /
This is not a media hype - / maybe Im just not that type. /
My rhymes thatll lift you like a drug, / like a mat, Ill be your rug. /

Whatever / that you say, /
Ill never / turn you away. /
You dont know me / as you are, /
My mind is / what you have caught. /
Touch me, / take my hand. /
Hold on tight, / as tight as you can, /
Ill be with you / all the way. /
Im asking you / wont you stay? /
Its your reality. /

Durbba durbba duhr, /
Badurbba durbba duhr, /
Badurbba durbba duhr, /
Badurbba durbba duhr.

Here she comes
She's running over the hill
With her friend in tow
I know how it feels
When there's no one else on Earth
Oh, heavenly days
You and me

Oh, only love can mend a broken heart

There's a place
That I've seen in my dreams
I'd like to live there
By a golden sea
The only sound
That I ever want to hear
Is the sound of her voice

Here she comes
She's running over the hill
With her friend in tow

Oh, only love can mend a broken heart

Get on the floor and look real sexy!

Saw you,
And when I saw you
I thought this is real,
This is real!
Kissed you,
And when I kissed you,
I whispered forever,
Forever!

I love the way,
I love the way you move
I love the way,
I love the way you move
Just lose yourself,
Lose yourself in circles of sound.

People get real,
People get real,
People get real!

Knowing
The way the way we are feeling
You told me that we'd turn clean,
? ? ? we turned clean.
Talking,
Taking advantage.
The other side of your dreams
Of your dreams.

Don't tell me
This is precious!
Don't tell me
This is soulful!
Well you have to be,
Have to be kidding me on!

People get real,
People get real,
People get real!

So don't stop,
Don't stop believing,
No and don't stop,
Don't stop believing,
Just keep on, keep on, keep on believing it's here.

People get real,
People get real,
People get real!

You can tell me a thousand times or more
It's all in the past
Your words just won't convince me
I'm smarter than that

And any fool can see
That even though you're here with me
Your mind, your mind, your mind
Is some place else
Your mind, your mind, your mind
Is some place else

I know the place, I was there once
But I don't think I'll ever see it again
Your mind, your mind, your mind
Is some place else
Your mind, your mind, your mind
Is some place else

Since the first time I heard her name I knew
We'd never be the same
I don't need to hear you say it to know
It's started again

And any fool can see
That you have given up on me
Your mind, your mind, your mind's
On someone else
Your mind, your mind, your mind's
On someone else

I know the girl who's in my place
And I know I can never face her again
Your mind, your mind, your mind's
On someone else
Your mind, your mind, your mind's
On someone else

(The vocals for this song are some lovely over-the-top male soulful pose singing. There are a few real words:)


Oh / yeah!


Didn't know / the reason why, / yeah, / yeah.


(The remixes also contain some Spanish lyrics:)

Yo te quiero / Me haca falta tu amor /
te necesito / te adoro /
lo unico que yo quiero que tu hagas es a conocerme /
??? / ??? /
tu seras para mi / yo sere para ti /
lo unico que yo quiero que tu hagas es a conocerme /


(English translation: I love you, I need your love, I need you, I adore you, the only thing I want you to do is know me... you will belong yo me, I will belong to you, the only thing I want you to do is know me.)
