1. _ Wood Cabin
Transcribed by kevin hung
A redwood tree
The radio
They moved them down the hall
A beauty queen from idaho
Was broken in the fall
Never write a love song
Never write a trip hop
Never write a ballad
Got to get a grip now
Cause nothing ever matters
If you hide away from it all
In twenty years this place will be
Just like la today
Never write a love song
Never write a trip hop
Never write a ballad
Got to get a grip now
Cause nothing ever matters
If you hide away from it all
Never write a love song...

2. _ Postman
Transcribed by kevin hung
On a fog bound morning
With my frozen tiger feet
All done so i clocked off early
Walked down our street
Oh no oh no
Do i really deserve this
Silhouette at the window
It's so hard to believe this
Silhouette at the window
I was only lonely
Only thinking of you
I suspected nothing
Put all my trust in you
Now my pride is in a thousand pieces
World slides from view
Oh no oh no
Do i really deserve this
Silhouette at the window
It's so hard to believe this
Silhouette at the window
I was only lonely
Only thinking of you

3. _ Madeleine
Transcribed by mun-hou lo
I've never been to rome
But i don't need to go
I don't need to go to know
Life would be sweet and slow
The traffic sign; the washing line
Down holloway road she goes, wasting time
Just a little sleep
I need some dreams to keep
To keep my mind from running through
The stupid things i do
The shopping's done; the kettle's on
And if he calls today i may come undone
Madeleine, could you explain?
Madeleine, did she mention my name?
Somewhere in the east
A caravan rolled on
The waters flowed on through the town
The rain fell on everyone
Madeleine, could you explain?
Madeleine, did she mention my name?
Madeleine, could you explain?
Madeleine, did she mention my name?
Do-do-do-do-do...

4. _ Mr. Donut
Transcribed by kevin hung
Checked-in at the airport half an hour late
Jackie caused a scene when we reached the gate
Sorry mr. pilot but you'll have to wait
Cause paul's still in the duty free
When i'm far from home
You call me on the phone
Tell me everything that's happening in england
When i'm feeling blue
You call me something new
Another stupid name that makes me smile
And in a while
Ooh another coffee yeah
Ooh can you sense it in the air
Feels so good
Like someone really cares
Built my world around certain things you say
I think of nothing else at the close of day
Except for maybe how i ended up this way
Another drink before you go
Mtv is on another dreary song
20 after 2 and i'm at a loss
Cause the hotel bar is closed
I walk across the road
Sound of radio boston makes me smile
And in a while

5. _ Split Screen
Transcribed by kevin hung
Today i got up easy
You know i'm not a morning person
Never said i was leaving
I wasn't sure until this morning
Split screen our apartment
Where you still lie there sleeping
Keep feeling old cafes
He's the one who needs you baby
Will you really miss me
Will you really think about me
Yeah i'd like to think so
But as they say i'm always dreaming
Goodbye to the tower blocks
Last look at the town i'm leaving
Tall buildings and offices
And this all full of memories baby
Now i really don't care
Cause i'm dying to get the sun in my hair
Yeah i really don't care
That i'm here and you're still there
Yeah i really don't care
Cause i'm going to breathe the country air
Yeah i really don't care
But it's ok
I've been driving for ages
Your tapes are starting to bore me
Well i think i should stop now
I'm not sure if i should call you
Split screen our apartment
Where you have seen my letters
Well i know its not venus
But the scenery's getting better baby

6. _ Zipcode
Transcribed by kevin hung
The comic from the usa
Dream ticket for a saturday
Saw an add for a day-glo skeleton
Hey dad had a go about getting them
You never there when i needed you
You never lent me a hand or 2
And when you did you weren't much use
You didn't even know what a zipcode was
I never really saw the apes
Just said i did to save my face
Not impressed with my watch radio
Weights a tonne and it ain't stereo
I never cried when elvis died
Told you i did but hey i lied
Bought into x ray vision
Then music, sex, religion
You never there when i needed you
You never lent me a hand or 2
And when you did you weren't much use
You didn't even know what a zipcode was
You didn't even know what a zipcode was
You didn't even know what a zipcode was

8. _ Dutch Tv
Transcribed by kevin hung
One night in never land
Checking out the amsterdam scene
Got a room from some old guy
Outside the rocking machine
Don't know who you are
But you can't come in
Turn the tv down
Kick the tv in
All pictures scattered round
All soaked in alcohol
Next thing the lights go out
I heard a bang on the wall
Don't know who you are
But you can't come in
Turn the tv down
Kick the tv in
Turn the tv down
Kick the tv in

9. _ Lose That Girl
Transcribed by kevin hung
She walked out on you last saturday
Under the wheels
Of a crowd on main street usa
Know how it feels
She said cancel everything
And like a fool
You never see what's happening
She dropped out school
Get away let her go
Let her go now
Hey in your brain
Yeah you know
Let her go now
I should have told you
To lose that girl
I should have told you
That's not your world
On her radio she turned the disco down
Disco down
She thought she looked good in purple jeans
From santa fe
And she overdosed on magazines
Just fade to grey

11. _ Been So Long
Transcribed by kevin hung
I knew when you
Came around here to see me
You'd stay here till the morning
Can't stop myself from falling
In love with you
You know we'll never be the same
Been so long
It's been so long
I'm tired of being alone
There's a way to go
Honey i know now i'm calling you on the phone
Pretending nothing has changed here
But strangely familiar tracks are falling
You came without a warning
I'm glad you're here
To take these lonely tears away
Been so long
It's been so long
I'm tired of being alone
There's a way to go
Honey i know now i'm calling you on the phone
On the phone
Been so long
It's been so long
I'm tired of being alone
There's a way to go
Honey i know now i'm calling you on the phone
On the phone
On the phone

13. _ Afraid To Go Home
Transcribed by kevin hung
Hearing tunes in other rooms
They stay, they stay like morning rays
Summer in sound tumbling down
The sun around my face
Leaves are green like tambourines
A walk, a walk in morning dew
Soul in the breeze
Places like theses
The times i shared with you
Can we slow it down, slow it down
I'm afraid to go home
I'm afraid to go home
Can we slow it down, slow it down
Scared of being alone
Scared to answer the phone
I'm afraid to go home
Ocean view is drowned in blue
The waves, the waves against the shore
Say i don't care but knowing he's there
I'll pour a couple more
Can we slow it down, slow it down
I'm afraid to go home
I'm afraid to go home
Can we slow it down, slow it down
I'm afraid to go home
I'm afraid to go home

14. _ Goodnight Jack
Transcribed by kevin hung
We hadn't had our tea for long
When you said there's something wrong
Can i take this once again
You know i'd like to be a friend
Behind the wheel of my capri
It seems it like no-ones noticed me
And now you're coming out from work
And deep inside i feel so hurt
I saw the people crowding round
You didn't move or make a sound
Sky so overcast and grey
And something happened here today
She's got to run
Run away from home
You know she's gotta run
Run away from home
She's got to run
You know she's gotta run
Run away from home

15. _ Erica America
Transcribed by kevin hung
Hair in curls
Not quite as tall as the other girls
I'd ran away from the laughter upstairs
Wear high heels and i cut my hair
Try to conceal so tired of their small town games
Whistle a tune of a horse with no name
Hang around by the stadium
Drinking a wine like a bowery bum
Erica let's go out tonight
Staying out till the morning light
Erica let's go out tonight
Everything's gonna be alright
Diamond joe
He took my watch and my stereo
I wished i hadn't got a permanent wave
Can't show my face at the town arcade
Can't stand that place anyway
Tired of their small town games
Whistle a tune of i gotta see jane yeah
Read the stars of an aries girl
Wear the crown in another world

Transcribed by smiley
Seventeen, high-school queen,
Yeah you're pretty cute, i can see.
Well you've come a long way since september,
But, sylvie, you oughtta remember,
You know he's mine.
You know he's mine.
You know he's mine.
Sylvie, girl, i'm a very patient person,
But i'll have to shut you down,
If you don't give up your flirting.
Leave him alone, 'cos i know he loves me.
Leave him alone, 'cos he tells me he loves me.
Over and over and over and over again.
Over and over and over and over again.
Seventeen, high-school queen,
Yeah you're pretty cute, i can see.
Well you've come a long way since september,
But, sylvie, you oughtta remember,
You know he's mine.
You know he's mine.
You know he's mine.
Sylvie, girl, although you're my little sister,
Well you're not without your charms,
I'm not sure that he'll resist you.
Give it all up, for we see you crying.
Give it all up, 'cos i know you've been trying.
Over and over and over and over again.
Over and over and over and over again.
Over and over and over and over again.
(repeat to fade, with backing vocals of 'oh, sylvie girl, oh sylvie girl.'

20. _ 4:35 In The Morning
Transcribed by mark dorset
Hey baby
I've been up all night
Trying to make sense of my life
Day's breaking
Things are getting bright
After all this time
And any fool could see
That you're the best thing
That's happened to me
4:35 in the morning
Everything is clear
4:35 in the morning
I wish that you were here
So lately
I've been coming home
Sleepy, all alone
Don't hate me
Left here on my own
Staring at the phone
And any fool could see
That you're the best thing
That's happened to me
4:35 in the morning
Everything is clear
4:35 in the morning
I wish that you were here
4:35 in the morning
Everything is clear
I hear the phone
It's ringing loud
I'm coming alive
4:35
4:35
Yeah any fool could see
That you're the best thing
That's happenened to me
4:35 in the morning
Everything is clear
4:35 in the morning
Everything is clear
4:35 in the morning
4:35 in the morning

21. _ The Bad Photographer
Transcribed by kevin hung
Last thursday
5 30
A shoot in ladbroke grove
Hours later
Hey waiter
Could you pour some more of those
All for you
And when i'm all alone
I'm by the microphone
I see your photograph
Don't even want to laugh
Some secret
Must keep it
Hey i wouldn't know who to tell
Next morning
Fair warning
Ooh you have you got something to sell
Wide awake
The cold cold light of day
Realise my taste
My taste just slips away
I say my taste just slips away
Days later
Saw the paper
How did i fall for you
All for you...

22. _ Clark Country Record Fair
Transcribed by jens keller
Rain on the window pane
Thinking of you again
Had to phone
To check you're still on your own
Just when i'd thought you'd gone
I'm catching a train back home
Five to three
Playing a tape you made me
Chorus:
What you're looking for at the record fair?
What you're looking for?
Could you find me there?
Let me apologize
You know that i miss your eyes
Make me laugh
You know you make me laugh
Chorus
??? with me
Do you fancy some ginger tea?
Hearing your favourite band
You're holding both of my hands
Chorus
