2.He's On The Phone

He's on the phone, / and she wants to go home;
Shoes in hand, / don't make a sound, / it's time to go.

(ooh-ooh)
Someday (someday), someday.

He's on the phone, / doesn't want to go home.
The hotel life - / forget your wife, / you're on your own.
Academia girl;
Her life's a gas, / she loves the trash / inside his world.
Can't find his way there,
Got the cash, / feeling flash / in leicester square.

(ooh-ooh)
Yes.
She never meant to call, / she did anyway,
And now he's trying to find / the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday.)
Yes.
She never meant to call, / she did anyway,
And now he's trying to find / the words to say
Someday (someday), someday.

It's five to twelve / and she's nervous as hell,
With nothing to lose, / it's hard to choose / it's hard to tell.
[the remix has this additional couplet:
And her's is lilac and gold;
The things she has, / she's feeling sad, / she's feeling old.]
Skin is dewdrop and warm;
The lipstick kiss, / reminisce, / awake 'til dawn.

(ooh-ooh)
Yes.
She never meant to call, / she did anyway,
And now he's trying to find / the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday.)
Yes. / (ooh-ooh)
She never meant to call, / she did anyway,
And now he's trying to find / the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday.)

Et c'est alors que supposement blesse par le commun des mortels,
[the remix contains the middle section:
Qu'en habit pourpre et net, / de mes cendres fictions,
Pour l'encore inconnu(e), attendu(e); / ]
Je reserecte encore et encore.
Je reserecte / encore / et encore.

He's on the phone / and she wants to go home,
Shoes in hand, / don't make a sound, / it's time to go

Ooh-ooh
Yes.
She never meant to call, / she did anyway,
And now he's trying to find / the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday.)
Yes. / (ooh-ooh)
She never meant to call, / she did anyway,
And now he's trying to find / the words to say
Someday (someday), someday (someday), someday.


3.Former Lover

Thanks to ravi baskaran for a correction!

Milan, / when i was a kitten,
We'd sit and sing old songs.

We'd sit and sing old songs.

In my head, / listening to windchimes;
Married a fool / i know.

Why on earth / didn't i wait for you?
Now look and see who's paying.

Those days / on radio one,
Set in the east: / who cares?

Set in the east: / who cares?

Close all / of the doors, maisie,
Make sure he knows i'm gone.

Make sure he knows i'm gone.

Close down / over the ocean.
Open the doors, / fresh air.
Close down / over the ocean.
Open the doors, / fresh air.


4.I Buy American Records

Transcribed by nicola

She's an auburn-haired girl / from a town of spanish sand,
And she wades through junior high / with a radio in her hand,
And she never talks to the country kids,
She just moves with the times like her mother did,

And when / she comes in the spring,
Her touch can do everything,
'cause she wears my ring.
Oo-ooh, / american records.

She never looks at her watch, / 'cause time's the clock of her
heart.
Her eyes are a million years, / she sighs like a movie star,
And under the boardwalk by the sea,
With my baby is where i'll be,

And when / she comes in the spring,
Her touch can do everything,
'cause she wears my ring.
Oo-ooh, / american records.

And under the boardwalk by the sea,
With my baby is where i'll be,

And when / she comes in the spring,
Her touch can do everything,
'cause she wears my ring.
Oo-ooh, / american records.
'cause she wears my ring.
Oo-ooh, / american records.
Oo-ooh, / american records.
Oo-ooh, / american records.
American records.
American records.

Transcribed by mark dorset

Ooh, / what are you thinking of?
Boy, / what are you dreaming of? / (anyway,)
I run around the streets to find you,
Shout your name, i want to hold you, / (what are you thinking

I run around the streets to find you,
Shout your name, i want to hold you.

I'll be there / to run into your arms.
I'll be there. / won't you hug my soul?

Ooh, / what are you thinking of?

You're walking through my dreams at night,
Losing all my appetite, oh no, / (what are you thinking of?)

6.Like A Motorway

Transcribed by mark dorset

He's gone, / he's gone.

She wears sad jeans / torn at the waistband.
Her pretty face / is stained with tears.
And in her right hand / she clasps a letter;
I know this means / that he has gone.

And in this town / of mis-guided tourists,
She never thought / she'd fall in love.
It was a few days / after her birthday,
The thrill hostess / gave her first kiss.

He said her skin / smelled just like petals,
Said stupid things / he knew she'd like.
She said her life / was like a motorway:
Dull, grey, and long / 'til he came along.

He's gone, / he's gone.

I said 'how could / he ever leave you?
You two were good, / you were so right.'
She said 'i wish / that he just left me;
He'd be alive, / alive tonight.'

He's gone, / he's gone.
He's gone, / he's gone.
He's gone, / he's gone.


7.Groveley Road

George, he called to say that he'd be late;
There's something on the tv around eight.

If you could see me, / and if you could see me, ooh,
And if you could see me, ooh.

Talk to you at night when you're asleep.
I say i deserve / better than this.

If you could see me, / and if you could see me, ooh,
And if you could see me, ooh.

Spring-time came, george didn't care at all.
No-one's broke my heart like this before.

If you could see me, / and if you could see me, ooh,
And if you could see me, ooh.

It's spring-time.


8.On The Shore

[this song has vocals, but not many real lyrics as such. a
couple of phrases are distinguishable.]

Floating higher, / floating, floating, floating...


9.Pale Movie

Transcribed by mark dorset

Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala,
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala.

All of his friends have been wondering
Why he spent so long with her;
He's so dark and moody,
She is his sunshine girl.

Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala,
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala.

In the bed where they make love
She's in a film on the sheets.
He shows dreams like a movie,
She's the softness of cinema seats.

Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala,
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala.

He sees all of the girls
Like demi moore as she sighs.
Dreams come true as he holds her,
'til the x's come up in her eyes.

Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala,
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala.

Like roses grow in a churchyard,
Her skin as white as the milk,
Just like a sherpa tensing
Under a manilla silk.

Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala,
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala.
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala,
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala.
Lalala lalalala, / lalalala lalalalala...


10.Hate Your Drug

Like four paper-dolls / all heavy with sleep,
They hold you like a baby, / your body so weak.
They lay you on a white bed, / almost dead at nineteen,
Like four paper dolls / all heavy with sleep.

And with your blonde hair / all over my dress,
Your heart had stopped beating, / your head on my chest,
And i told you for the last time / that i loved you best.
And with your blonde hair / all over my dress.


11.Marble Lions

I'll meet you / past the great divide, yeah,
Setting sail 'cross darkened dawn.
Everybody wants / something,
And i want it all.

Stars are calling, / goodnight, darling.
Don't say good-bye.
Stars are calling, / take the slow train.
Don't say good-bye.

Marble lions / at the gates of eden
Screaming songs to lull the rage.
Let's raise a flag / that has no colours,
Release the sun into the empty cathedral, yeah.

Stars are calling, / goodnight, darling.
Don't say good-bye.
Stars are calling, / take the slow train.
Don't say good-bye.

Don't say good-bye, darling, / don't say good-bye.
Stars are calling, / goodnight, darling.
Stars are calling, / take the slow train.
Stars are calling, / goodnight, darling.
Stars are calling, / goodnight, darling.
Goodnight, darling.


12.Cool Kids Of Death


13.Western Wind

[this songs is in two separate parts, with the song tankerville
segued between them.]

Western wind, / when will thou blow?
Let the snow rain down, may(?) rain.
Oh that my love / were in my arms / and i in my bed / again.


Western wind, / when will thou blow?
Snow rain down, hey, rain.
Oh that my love / were in my arms.

Western wind, / when will thou blow?
Snow rain down, hey, rain.
Oh that my love / were in my arms.

Western wind, / when will thou blow?
Snow rain down, hey, rain.
Christ, that my love / were in my arms

15.The Boy Scouts Of America

Like a birthday card / from a previous year,
The weather in chayco / is sparkling and clear.
The girl lies in bed, / the boy sits in the yard.
He wants to talk sleep / but he has to keep guard.

She stirs from her sleep / and she calls for a beer;
He knows there are none / and pretends not to hear.
She hears his breath / like she's heard it before.
She cuddles her sheets / as he slips out the door.

God had derailed / the lonestar train
That can take her away / from sadness and pain.
He acts like a saint / but the strain really shows;
The boy scouts of america / taught him all that he knows.
