. . .


I've been away, I've been working
But now I'm back I need to know if you're still there
And I need to know if you still care
Of course you do, of course you do
You were made for me, and I was made for you

Some things change, but the majority stands still
And I need to know if you want to
And I need to know if you will
Of course you do, of course you do
But I was made for this place, and I was made for you

I don't know if you would welcome me back with
open arms through the door
I don't expect anything but please know that I love you for sure.
Please be sure

I miss your eyelashes and the streets where I grew tall
I miss getting piss wet through
Getting to yours and getting warm
I miss stopping over and borrowing someone else's clothes
It's so nice to be home, you'd never have known that
I'd even been away

I miss the city I love but I've been having an affair
With L.A and New York, Dundee
And Doncaster if I may dare
Of course I do, of course I do
But I was meant for this place, and I was meant for you

I miss the city I love but I've been having an affair
With L.A and New York, Dundee and Doncaster if you
should care. Of course you do, of course you do

But I was made for this place and I was made for you
My heart is here, here to stay

. . .


I looked into her eyes and I swore
I've never written a cliche before
And I'll probably never do so
She was beautiful though

I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world

I'm only a paperboy from the North West
But I can scrub up well in my Sunday best
How could I ever do for you?
Because I'm true and I'm real and this is how I feel

I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world

A glossy magazine on the coffee table
And you've held court with half of the culprits in
there who seem unstable
But you don't look at them like you do at me

Those eyes are only mine, what a wonderful time
When your eyes are mine, and mine are yours
I turn over in bed and you're not there

Nowhere to be seen
All I can do is flip the Mac and gently touch the screen

I think it's time for me and you to take over the world
I think it's time for me and you to take over the world

Take over the world
Take over the world

I heard you (heard you)
Coming in from town,
stilettos scrape the ground,
I saw you (say you)
In your overcoat a random on your throat,
I know you (know you)
this is not the girl,
that I used to whirl...
Round me
what's happening to you?
what's happening to you?

I love it, I shoot it like a tommy gun,
But you will carry on until the day you are done.
You never know when to stop,
You'll carry on until you're dead and you drop,
you will carry on until you're dead and you drop.

You over did it doll,
You over did it doll,
You over did it doll,
You over did it doll.

Your change (?) is starting to go,
five nights a week is starting to show.
Dark rims around your eyes,
are fashionable until somebody dies.
This pace a little too fast,
you're a space cadet dressed in fibreglass.
You're gonna shatter, it's not too late to undo,
put the fiddle down, the taming of the shrew.

I love it, I shoot it like a tommy gun,
but you will carry on until the day you are done.
You never know when to stop,
you'll carry on until you're dead and you drop,
you will carry on until you're dead and you drop.

You over did it doll,
you over did it doll,
you over did it doll,
you over did it doll.
You over did it doll,
you over did it doll,
you over did it doll,
you over did it doll.

You will never know when to stop,
you'll carry on until you're dead and you drop,
you will carry on until your're dead and you drop.

I love it, I shoot it like a tommy gun,
but you will carry on until the day you are done,
you will carry on until the day you are done.

You over did it doll,
you over did it doll,
you over did it doll,
you over did it doll.
You over did it doll,
you over did it doll,
you over did it doll,
you over did it doll

. . .

You walked over still hungover from the night before
Those idiot girls were looking over
I don't know what for

That vintage Chanel dress that you wore
Just accentuated the fact that your heart was sore
Like a dying rose in the cold you froze
I'm holding the thorns on the floor

The Night & Day holds memories
BUt when I think of it now all I see
Is you at the back and you're starting to cry
I wish I could have sung you a lullaby

But I can't because I'm a mess, I'm too proud
I'm stubborn and I'm selfish and you know that I'm loud
I'm a fool who thinks he's strong like Cassius Clay
I never ever listen to what anyone says

If I see your mother, tell her I still love her
But that letter was wrong, ill informed and I warned you
Please do not get the families involved
This world is me around me I revolve

The Night & Day holds memories
BUt when I think of it now all I see
Is you at the back and you're starting to cry
I wish I could have sung you a lullaby

I'm with my friends, I'm on my own
I'm in a crowded bar, I'm on my own
I'm with everyone else, I'm on my own
Its nobody's fault but my own

I wish I could have sung you a lullaby

. . .


Well I'm in Manchester and you're in London town
I'm having the time of my life
But I'm dying to go down

I don't know if I should come see you, for you I am falling
I'm still young, I need life for more than I need a wife
The good times are calling me

The good times are calling me
You can come with me, you should come with me
The good times are calling me

Do you remember the days when you dropped all your weight?
They were the days when we stayed up for three straight
All the boys looking sharp, top of the class
All the girls singing Blondie with their heart of glass

I don't know if I should come see you, for you I am falling
I'm still young, I need life for more than I need a wife
The good times are calling me

The good times are calling me
You can come with me, you should come with me
The good times are calling me

I don't know if I should come see you, for you I am falling
I'm still young, I need life for more than I need a wife
The good times are calling me

Mark was there, he was chasing tail, the urban genie
on the door got offered the manners test and failed
That girl who said she was your friend but you really hated
her was there in her element as two chunky thick set
skinheads gyrated her

I was sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar
This time you've gone too far
I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS
cash machine, don't sniff keep it clean

What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home

I tried to paint you my feelings through this verse
Just like Neil Young did in the back of his hearse
But you won't hear much of that though in here though
It's full of cheerful chaps who whistle and leer and live on their own

I was sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar
This time you've gone too far
I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS
cash machine, don't sniff keep it clean

What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home

The Deansgate fireflies they blink and wink at me
I haven't felt this alone since my art GCSE
And don't bother with the tears tomorrow
You're always doing it, you're always doing it
You're always bloody doing it

I was sulking by the cigarette machine by the back bar
This time you've gone too far
I'll be minding your drink as you go to the RBS
cash machine, don't sniff keep it clean

What should I do now I am all alone?
The rest of the world has gone home

. . .


I'll never dance with a sycohpant
I'd rather entertain distain
From someone who I love
At least you know where you stand
You'll never understand

Keep your eyes on your own work son
Do your homework son
We will never be undone
We're like a father and a son
We will never be undone

I'll ask you..

Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less, cos we are us not you.

You think you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend

The proof's in the pudding, and the gigs
You've not even been to Woolworths to buy your mix
You flirt with the weather, a kneeling knave
Billy Shakespeare would be spinning in his grave

Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
I could not give one cos we are us not you.

You think you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend

Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can what you want cos it's what we like
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less cos we are us not you

Are my clothes alright?
Is my hair alright?
You can say what you want, thank you and goodnight
We are judged on every single thing we do
We could not care less cos we are us not you

You think you're clued up
I think you're glued up
You're seen everywhere in town
But you're never with a friend
You know everybody's name
You're the king of pretend

You love to dance, you're a sycophant
How do you sleep? how do you get up? Get fucked

. . .


With your mother's cameo brooch
Sat at the foot of her bed taking notes

You watched her since you were small
You are the new belle of the ball

With your father's bruise on your arm
Telling me it's no cause for alarm
Stop pushing people away
You can't live your life this way

I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to

WIth your sister's love for her dad
You tell her it's the piano teacher that has been bad
You said you hadn't learnt your scales
She said you were going off the rails

But that was nothing to what you are now
And I'm not picking holes and I don't want to now

But people are getting scared
We can see your bones, and we were unprepared

I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to

I will always be there for you
Whenever you need me, someone to talk to

I will always be there for you
Wenever you need me, someone to talk to

. . .


Six thousand miles away, the first thing on my mind
I've not been to bed, my thoughts are racing
My heart is lagging behind

Desperate times call for double measures
The drinks ae going down alleviating the pressure
Just to see you for a second now, if only I could
Just to breathe the same air, then you know that I would

A needle in the heart from a silhouette
She could've been you but for the cigarette

When back, will you dig your heels in?
Dig your heels into my back?
Scratch your name upon my lips
Take the belt from off your hips

A needle in the heart from a silhouette
She could've been you but for the cigarette

A needle in the heart from a silhouette
She could've been you but for the cigarette

When will I see you again? When will I see you again?
When will I see you again? When will I see you again?

When will I see you again? When will I see you again?
When will I see you again? When will I see you again?

Scratch your name upon my lips
Scratch your name upon my lips
Scratch your name upon my lips
Scratch your name upon my lips

. . .


You are the last of the ladies
You are the only one who can save me
You are, you are, you are

You are the one to grow old with
To live, to laugh, and to lie with
You are, you are, you are

Sometimes I may not see you for a week
Don't think of this as a burden
Just a grander hide and seek
And when you find me I'll be happy to be out
Your words are one thing I can't believe that I've ever lived without

You are the last of the ladies
You are the only one who can save me
You are, you are, you are

You are the one to grow old with
To live, to laugh, and to lie with
You are, you are, you are

Sometimes is easy then it's not worth the reward
Like remembering the list of bands that I wrote on
the chalk board
I'm not saying you're New Order but I think you
know what I mean
And I'm into the way that you're into me
Like a scene from the silver screen

You are the last of the ladies
You are the one who can save me
You are, you are, you are

. . .


A bicycle shop at the end of the road
A Chinese chippy to ease the load
The lights are low, and life's not fair
What I have is yours to share

Victoria Park, after dark
Kissing on the wall trying not to fall
Into your heart, and into your head
Take me somewhere else, take me to your bed

Naive, young, and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?

Like two students in love, waltzing along
I have been both, but not for very long
Like two drunk dancers, juvenile chancers
One sets the other one off

Naive, young, and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?

Angel as you go down, I'll let you know tomorrow
Change your plea to guilty and another day we'll borrow

A bicycle shop at the end of the road
A Chinese chippy to ease the load
The lights are low, and life's not fair
What I have is yours to share

Naive, young, and not too clever
Will it be this way forever?

We don't need money, let's get under the covers
Just as long as we've got each other
