This Is Ivy League Album

Out in the country where the air is fine,
We spent our last five dollars on a bottle of wine
We listened to some records on the patio
We had the must loud, the lights turned low

Oh, we've been working, we've been paying our dues
We've got dirt on our hands, and holes in our shoes
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Don't let the tiniest of troubles bring you down, my friend
Don't let the slightest complications drive you mad
Although we haven't got much money, we must admit it's pretty funny
How they think we are the richest kids in town

Don't get so crazy, it was only a joke
Put your shoes back on and we'll go have a smoke
We'll talk about the funny things we did this year,
Tell each other what we want to hear

You're a pretty one; you're really a gem,
So don't get bent out of shape by them
They never mean to hurt you but they always do, its true

Don't let the tiniest of troubles bring you down, my friend
Don't let the slightest complications drive you mad
Although we haven't got much money, we must admit it's pretty funny
How they think we are the richest kids in town

The richest kids in town

Last night, I was awoken
You were talking in your sleep
And you said, ever so softly, lying next to me

You said
Love, love is impossible
Love, love is impossible

We ran to the station, a rainstorm had begun
She said, 'As soon as you are gone, I'm gonna find another one'

'Cause love, love is impossible
Anyone can see that love, love is impossible
Impossible for me

On the road, every mile takes us farther from our homes
When the new horizon shows, when the moon is still high
We are all alone; getting closer to a place that is unknown
When we get there, we'll be ready to sing, ready to play, we will celebrate

Please, could you tell me, tell me the reason why
You say that love is so impossible without giving it a try?

On the road, every mile takes us farther from our homes
When the new horizon shows, when the moon is still high
We are all alone; getting closer to a place that is unknown
When we get there, we'll be ready to sing, ready to play, we will celebrate

Love, love is impossible

One, two, three, four

Listen to the lovely sounds of London Radio,
Surround sound stereo, with me
You can feel the rhythm in your bones

Can you hear the lovely sounds of London Radio,
Surround sound stereo, with me?
Keep with you everywhere you go

Never again, never again
I'll never feel this way again
Never again, never again
I will not break my vow again
Never again, never again
I can't comprehend me without you...

Hang around for one more song
The night is younger, yes, the night is younger than we are
I will lift you up when you fall down

Times like this I reminisce on London Radio
Surround sound stereo, with you

Never again, never again
I'll never feel this way again
Never again, never again
I will not break my vow again
Never again, never again
I can't comprehend me without you...

London bridges falling down
Again

Standing on the stage, she looked at me
Or maybe it could never be
She wouldn't look at me unless she knew the way that I need her
I really need her

Viola, Viola, Viola,
oh oh oh
I really need you

Viola, Viola, Viola,
oh oh oh
I really love you

See the way her stockings match her eyes
Hear the way she sings and cries
A lovely ballad or perhaps an upbeat folk tune, or an original
I am so pitiful

Viola, Viola, Viola,
oh oh oh
I really need you

Viola, Viola, Viola,
oh oh oh
I really love you

Do you have a lover?
Do you love him tenderly?
Maybe he's backstage, sipping whiskey patiently
When you are away, do you miss him horribly?
And if not...could it be me?

Another week is ending and you know we've been pretending that we live for the daily grind
Sandy's looking fancy, Gigi's getting pretty antsy, and Leigh's about to lose her mind

When we get together,
Feels like all my worries disappear
It puts me in another state of mind
It puts me in a better state of mind

I can see you looking lonely, staring at the floor
Pick your head up, pick your feet up, don't be such a bore

When we get together,
Feels like all my worries disappear
It puts me in another state of mind
It puts me in a better state of mind

I lost my only friend today
What a shame
Oh, isn't it a shame?
I had it coming, all along

Let's have a celebration in the middle of the week
If these four walls could speak, they'd tell us never to go

[No lyrics]

Have I told you I like your look?
Have I told you I like the way you move?
But this fall fashion won't last you through the year
Until the day comes when you find the boy you're looking for
In between his sheets could there be anymore?
Put another notch in your belt

You fooled us all,
You really pulled the wool over our eyes
And now we're blind to all the faces that you make
To let us know you don't feel anything for anyone
It melted away in the morning sun
I will always stand by your side

Sunshine, never felt so cold upon my face
Till you up and left me in this place, left me alone

Sunshine, never left a chill upon my face
Till you up and left me in this place, left me for good and for all

Did she tell you she likes your hair?
Did she tell you she likes your vintage boots?
In her eyes you can tell she is thinking of way to bring you home
So she can tell all her friends who she's become;
A well-read, guarded party girl
I hope you're happy this way

In a year you'll see,
In a year or two we think you'll understand
Your philosophy was built to fall apart
To make anew and start from scratch
You never know, this one might last
No, you can't lose now

Sunshine, never felt so cold upon my face,
Till you up and left me in this place, left me alone

Sunshine, never left a chill upon my face
'Til you up and left me in this place,
Left me for good and for all

The time of our lives we would like to forget
The constant reminders, the constant regret
Driving in circles all night long
Could you turn up the volume? It's my favorite song

Watch your step, careful what you say
They're bound to be talking by the end of the day
We see your true colors, pink, yellow, white
The old folks they love it, losing their sight

We've been here far too long to understand the Modern World
Let's break away

These homes are all broken, kids haven't a clue
If you were as wasted, neither would you
We tried to outrun you, fast as we can
If you are a lion, I am a lamb

A bitter remark, a slap in the face
Here comes your mother, falling from grace
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
The one thing you hated
Don't you know that we…

We've been here far too long to understand the Modern World
Let's break away

We've been here far too long to understand the Modern World
Let's break away

I made a river from my front door to yours
I built myself a raft with my living room doors
But when I set sail to find you
I never reached your shore

I gave you my new sweater, so you would be warm
To protect you from the winds of the mighty winter storm
And though I was nearly freezing
I didn't really mind

And even though she'll never need me
I will save my love for her
Til the day when she discovers that my love won't fade away
Til the day

I gave you flowers, so everyone would see
That the light behind your eyes, is the light that shines on me
But you never gave them water
So they withered to the ground

I am so tired, I don't know what to do
Should I curse the dreaded day in which I fell in love with you?
No, I think its worth the loneliness
Just to see your face

And even though she'll never need me
I will save my love for her
Til the day when she discovers that my love won't fade away
Til the day

Early this morning, before I got out of bed
Visions of Tokyo drifted into my head
I think of the night we were wandering in the street
Smiling at all of the beautiful girls we meet

But don't you listen to what they say to you
About the dirty things we do
Even if they're mostly true
I hope that you won't believe them
'Cause honey, I believe in you

Feels like forever since we had a little fun
I'm sick of laying around, hiding from the sun
I want some action, yeah, I want a little noise
Girls can be trouble and we will always be boys

But don't you listen to what they say to you
About the dirty things we do
Even if they're mostly true
I hope that you won't believe them
'Cause honey, I believe in you

Remember the city, remember the neon lights?
We sampled the local cuisine and we saw the sights
We bought magazines and we took funny photographs
We stayed up til sunrise and everyone had a laugh

I believe in you
Please, believe in me
Oh, I believe in you

Please, please, please,
Don't waste your love on me
You know I would, only if I could
But don't waste your love on me

Please, don't wear your velvet dress tonight
Because if you do I think I might break down on the dance floor

Life would be so free, if you could spend the day with me
In a summer breeze
I know that it sounds nice, but I could never pay that price
Oh, say goodnight

Goodnight, sadness
No more heartache
Goodbye, summertime girl

You, you, you, you've got that look upon your face
The one that breaks me into millions of pieces
You, you know I'll follow you around
I'll even go downtown, though I wasn't invited

You know I hate this place, last time they hit me in the face
And I went back home
Come and take my hand, some people just don't understand
And they never will, no they never will, no they never will
No, they're never gonna get it

You always used to be a shy one
'Till we moved out west
Now you're pulling all the same old tricks
That you pulled on all the rest

Now we're saying

Goodnight, sadness
No more heartache
Goodbye, summertime girl
