JOANNA

This is a fight song
But without the violence
Dance it off so we can

Get off, watching
Each and every move
(It's so cold ?) and sad and cheap

Joanne is working
her charm with the concierge

She looks, damn good
makes me wish we were the only ones in the room

I'm walking
Two steps behind you
And you're waiting
For the quiet ride that never comes

Do I have to remind you
My choice of words will be (?)

With William to my right side
Singing Soco Amaretto Lime

This is a fight song
But without the violence
Dance it off so we can

Get off, watching
Each and every move
(It's so cold ?) and sad and cheap

Joanne is working
her charm with the concierge

Light spotlights on her flaws
(As you ?) wished you were the only ones in the room

I'm walking
Two steps behind you
And you're waiting
For the quiet ride that never comes

Do I have to remind you?
'Cos if I have to remind you
My choice of words will be (?)

I'll ask him, to ask her
And he'll say
Ask her yourself

But I want her, to ask me
To ask me, ask me, ask me

I thought we were so close
Well I was wrong

MIGHTIEST MONSTER MIGHTIEST MELODRAMA OF THEM ALL

I've been inside for a week now
And i've got nothing left to do
Because I'm so bored
and I'm so tired
and Its so silent in here

I said i'd kill for rock and roll

I gotta get out tonight, out tonight
I gotta get out tonight, out tonight
Get out tonight, out tonight
Get out tonight, out tonight

Because I'm not sitting in
Another friday night alone
If we plan to meet at eight
Will you be ready?
Because I'm sick of waiting on you
To call me up
Or ask me round
Because I'm sick of waiting on you
To call me up
Or ask me round

I'm dressing up
You better watch me close
Because you know how I can be
Turn on the charm
You can't stop me dancing
You won't be leaving here with me

I gotta get out tonight, out tonight
I gotta get out tonight, out tonight
Get out tonight, out tonight
Get out tonight, out tonight

Because I'm sick of waiting on you
To call me up
Or ask me round

I said I'm sick of waiting on you
To call me up
Or ask me round

MOUSE MOVES

I am the water
providing you with a lift
keeping you afloat
That's the same water
seeping though your clothes
and filling every hole

You're talking to me quietly
so no-one else can hear us
let's imagine that no-one else is here

Ask me why the sky is black at night
and I'll tell you
the stars they're moving faster than the light
so we won't catch it up
When it stops expecting
well then we'll all start moving
and then what will fill this gas right?

Well I know
if we recover from this
Well I know
it'll be so different

Well I know and I know
that it's right for me
and I know and I know
that it's what she wants
and I know and I know
that I'm happy here
and I know and I know
that we're not quite there

I'm not one to wait on the sidelines
with the captain screaming orders
I'm one for breaking off the game
let's go

Well I know
if we recover from this
Well I know
it'll be so different

Well I know and I know
that it's right for me
and I know and I know
that it's what she wants
and I know and I know
that I'm happy here
and I know and I know
that we're not quite there

Well I know
if we recover from this
Well I know
it'll be so different

Well I know and I know
that it's right for me
and I know and I know
that it's what she wants
and I know and I know
that I'm happy here
and I know and I know
that we're not quite there

SAY SCIENTIST

So this is not my house and these are not my friends
We're from a different scene but of the same streets
As far as parties go I guess it could be worse
So I just sit outside under the porch light
Watch my breath and frozen words

I pointed at satellites
which orbit right above me
If I could I'd drag them from the sky
Watch their descent light up the night

It's 2am and they're all onto their cheap wine
But I live with a difference
And no desire to leave this step or head inside

So I pointed at satellites
Which orbit right above me
If I could I'd drag them from the sky
Watch their descent light up the night

And you pool out of your houses
Heads thrown back in wonder
And I'd say, "This I have achieved
but I won't ever take it back
no, no, no, no!"

So don't you say
Oh don't you say
Oh don't you say
What I should or shouldn't do

So don't you say
don't you say
don't you say
What I should or shouldn't do

(?)
What you should or shouldn't do

It always seems to feel that life is somewhere else
I missed the boat somewhere and now I pay the cost
My only weapon is I have an option here
Of peeling back this masquerade
and bleeding on their pure white floors

I pointed at satellites
which orbit right above me
If I could I'd drag them from the sky
Watch their descent light up the night

And you pool out of your houses
Heads thrown back in wonder
And I'd say, "This I have achieved
but I won't ever take it back
no, no, no, no!"

TEMPERATE LIVES

When I first set out to write a record
My outlook was positive
I'd sing about my summer
And the people that I spent it with

But the last four months have shown me
There's a trade-off to be made
Now I'm not so fucking chipper
Like this is never gonna be the same

But hey, we take it on the chin when they say
That we don't, we don't, we don't deserve
Anything from anyone

See, if I'm writing to affect your temperate lives
Then I guess I'm sacrificing mine
I watch the planes that change the skyline
And hope that death found those who believed it was right

Hey, we take it on the chin when they say
That we don't, we don't, we don't deserve
Anything from anyone

Hey, we take it on the chin when they say
That we don't, we don't, we don't deserve
Anything from anyone

Well, it's you who's affecting I
And I'll still sing about my summer
But it's you who's affecting I
So I'll still sing about it
But it's you who's affecting I
So I'll still sing about my summer
And it's you who's affecting I
And I'll still sing about it

But hey, we take it on the chin when they say
That we don't, we don't, we don't deserve
Anything from anyone

THE CITY IS UNDER MARTIAL LAW UNTIL WE HAVE ANNIHILATED THEM

Faint as my head hits the ground
and watch the colour of your clothes
Slowly fade to black
As this motion picture ends
Its sharpening to the senses
Through your eyes glorified in this last scene
In this last scene

Your ageing years make this town beautiful come summertime
Your ageing years make it so hard to prove you're right
Come this saturday night
Leaves your life in my hands
Because theres nothing they can do for you now
This saturday night leaves your life in my hands

I said it best with those words I kept from you. x2

Your ageing years make this town beautiful come summertime
Your ageing years make it so hard to prove you're right
Come this saturday night
Leaves your life in my hands
Because theres nothing they can do for you now
This saturday night leaves your life in my hands

Faint as my head hits the ground
and watch the colour of your clothes
Slowly fade to black
As this motion picture ends

YOU CAN'T PUT TWO HOTELS ON MAYFAIR

well theres inspiration everywhere
to think i said i hate it here, well i was wrong
got seven hours left to drive
swapped seats so i could rest my eyes
well i still think of that night,
with both fond and bitter memories that we both can leave behind,
if you'll just shut up and listen to me
and i still think of that night,
with both fond and bitter memories that we both can leave behind,
if you'll just shut up and listen to me
your mobile phone is killing off the brain cells in your head,
punching holes in your memory, i know your mothers worried but please
hang up before they trace the call and find out where we're staying
because that would end our fun real fucking quick
she said my brother is the only lawyer in this town
and you don't stand a chance
with your charge
guess he's a lying scheming bastard
and i still think of that night,
with both fond and bitter memories that we both can leave behind
if you'll just shut up and listen to me
and i still think of that night,
with both fond and bitter memories that we both can leave behind
if you'll just shut up and listen to me
to me
to me
your mobile phone is killing off the brain cells in your head,
punching holes in your memory, i know your mothers worried but please
hang up before they trace the call and find out where we're staying
because that would end our fun real fucking quick
and i kiss you from where im sat,
i'd rather be at home than here but i can't help that,
so just grow up, i know you won't be happy for the first few days,
at least its only saturday, so just be patient.
your mobile phone is killing off the brain cells in your head,
