1. _ Mario's Cafe
Transcribed by gerry
[introduction sample:]
Cigarette, a cup of tea, a bun.
Ooh... /
Button up your sheepskin carraway, / rainy cafe, kentish town, tuesday. /
Barry's looking through the racing post, / orders coffee, another round of toast. /
Lucy writes a letter, / she'd like to spend an evening with prince b. /
[when they perform the song live, the verse is often extended to:
Lucy writes a letter, / and harvey throws his arms around vanessa /
??? spoke with pm dawn ??? / she'd like to spend an evening with prince b.]
When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. /
When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. /
Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for, /
Joking around, still digging that sound. /
Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for. /
Squeezy bottles under pepsi signs, / joe and johnny chew the bacon rind. /
Jackie wants to meet the glitter band, / dilworth is a strange and lovely man, /
And eubank wins the fight, / and did you see the klf last night? /
[when they perform the song live, the verse is often extended:
Robbie wants to be the heavy [?] / ??? /]
When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. /
When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. /
Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for, /
Joking around, still digging that sound. /
Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for. /
Rainy cafe, kentish town, tuesday, /
Joking around, still digging that sound. /
Everyone's dreaming of all they've got to live for. /

When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. /
When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. (ten a.m.) /
When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. /
When we meet for a while, / tuesday morning ten a.m. (ten a.m.)/
When we meet for a while (meet for a while, / meet for a while, meet for a while.) /

You can look at the stars, / look at the ocean; /
The answer's somewhere, / here's what i reckon: /

5. _ No Rainbows For Me
I've thought of asking you / for so long, /
Afraid of what / your answer would be. /
But there's no other way, / so here i stay, /
You know, i believe in your lies / so easily. /
Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /
I'm going for myself, / (so i tell myself) /
But there's no pot of gold, / just shades of blue. /
You think my heart's a toy; / like a little boy, /
You pick it up, / and play with it, / and break it when you're through. /
Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /
Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /
Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /
Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /
Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /
Stop hurting me, baby, / i may lose my mind. /
Stop hurting me, baby, / or i'll ??? you. /
I'll ??? / no rainbows for me...
[outro sample:]
Yes, well, that last one didn't sound too furious!

9. _ Archway People
[intro sample on you're in a bad way version:]
You asked me to make a record of my voice. well here it is. what you want me to say is "i love you." here's the truth. i hate you, you little slut. you make me sick!
When you told me your dream (when you told me your dream) /
I / wanted to cry. /
You almost looked happy (you almost looked happy) /
Please don't tell me / it's true. /
All our neighbours are old (all our neighbours are old) /
Street-lamp buzzes all night. /
There are some nice parts of london, (there are some nice parts of london) /
You can see them from here (you can see them from here, you can see them from here.) /
You're / not going to change, /
We're / not moving away. /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We both work `til late, /
Catch / the fifty-eight. /
Usually asleep by eleven, (asleep by eleven) /
But somehow it didn't seem right /
When you turned and said (when you turned and said) /
"let's / go mad tonight." /
So we drank and danced; (so we drank and danced) /
For once i felt close to you (for once i felt close to you, for once i felt close to you.) /
You're / not going to change. /
We're / not moving away. /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /
We're staying here, (staying here.) /

10. _ Hobart Paving
[intro sample (on the album):]
Do you think a girl should go to bed with a feller, if she doesn't love him?
No. [pause] unless it's me.
I heard she drove the silvery sports-car /
Along the empty streets last night. /
Hanging around / with hair-dos like mine. /
No, i haven't seen the kids for some time. /
Picked up her shoes from the red-brick stairway, /
Just like a harpsichordist she moved. /
And back upstairs / at half past two, /
With a paper folded, outside the loo. /
Rain falls / like elvis tears. /
Oh no, / no sugar tonight. /
Out on the high street, / dim all the lights and /
Cry coloured tears again. /
And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Hobart paving, don't you think that's it's time, /
On this platform with the drizzle in my eyes? /
And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Hobart paving, don't you think that's it's time? /
The ticket's in my hand, the train pulls down the line. /
Rain falls / like elvis tears. /
Oh no, / no sugar. /
Out on the high street, / dim all the lights and /
Cry coloured tears. /
And baby, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Oh no, no sugar tonight, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Oh no, no sugar tonight, / (don't forget to catch me.) /
No no, no sugar tonight. / (don't forget to catch me.) /
Don't forget to catch me...

12. _ Calico
[the "calico" bits are sarah and the rest is q-tee.]
Dreamin' / that you are in my world, /
Wishin' / like a little girl. /
Watchin', / closely, / you suddenly appear. /
Like a dream, / you're gone, then you're here. /
You take to emotion / like a bird to flight. /
You drop an invitation, / maybe i just might /
Be your lover / or better / a friendly / aquaintance. /
Truly as i duly pay my love to you like maintenance. /
Calico, / calico, / calico, / calico. /
Calico, / calico, / calico, / calico. /
You're realistic, / your face conceal. /
Accentuate the passion. / i will reveal. /
You're like an angel that delights with the day. /
I'm pleadin' / don't ever go away, /
Story's reaching peak / the outlook is bleak. /
Please talk, say that you'll speak. / you're strong and i am weak. /
I need / the fortune at the end of the rainbow. /
I see you like a lantern - / you have a certain glow. / calico. /
Your smile is warm soft, / forever / appealing. /
Whenever you are present like a letter i am sealing. /
My love / like a dove / that blesses from above. /
The shower in an hour / won't you let me be your towel? / calico. /
Affection / affects you like a weapon. /
You're extreme and supreme / and nothing that you seem. /
A fateful chance / with a twist of hope. /
I'll be with you all the way / down the magical slope.
Calico, / calico, / calico, / calico. /
Calico, / calico, / calico, / calico. /
Calico, / calico, / calico, / calico. /
Babe, don't be afraid, / i'm wit' you everywhere. /
Gliding through enchanted waters / to you i swear. /
Expression is the key, / it's good enough for me. /
Cali can't you see, / forever yours? /
There's a feeling / of warmth, / a serious / sensation. /
It's true, / you have that / good vibration.
Your charm is overwhelming, you have reaches that i seldom see, /
Calico just let me be the one! /
Calico, / calico, / calico, / calico. /
Calico, / calico, / calico, / calico. /
Calico, / calico, / calico, / calico. /
Calico, / calico, / calico, / calico. /
Calico. / i see / that we were meant to be. /
Goin' in ???
[outro samples:]
I never take of my hat except when i'm out of doors!
She made a prize from jenkins' ear, / and washed it down with a bottle of beer.

15. _ Leafhound
[intro sample:]
I wish they wouldn't laugh.
I've been driving for some time / and the towns look the same. /
This town feels very different, / as though i've been here before. /
This looks like the old school-yard where we both used to play. /
And the kids in that building, / they look just like our friends. /
Something about / this place / makes me lose a grip on time and space. /
I haven't seen you for years, / but i feel you could be here right now. /
And i know it's strange, / yes i know it's strange, / that you could be here with me now. /
Days spent staring at highways, / strange effects on the brain. /
I can tell i'm not dreaming, / i know i'm wide awake! /
I'm sure i saw the theatre / that burnt down in `83 - /
And i followed the harley / that had your number-plate. /
Something about this place / makes me lose a grip on time and space. /
I haven't seen you for years, / but i feel you could be here right now. /
And i know it's strange, / yes i know it's strange, / that you could be here with me now. /
[whispers:] there's something about this place...

16. _ Who Do You Think You Are?
Transcribed by mark dorset
Who am i? /
I'm just a girl / who only wants /
To try / to do what's right; /
I'll never make / you cry, /
But you're no good for me, and /
Who do you think you are? /
You tried to push me a bit too far, /
And every day sees another scar. /
Oh tell me, who do you think you are? /
If you want me there, / you gotta care! /
Oh tell me, /
Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care. /
Who do you really think that you are? (who) /
Where are we? (oh where are we?) /
We're at the cross roads and /
I just / can't see (just can't see) /
Which way to take / to keep you
Here / with me (here with me). /
The lights are changing, baby, /
Who do you think you are? /
You tried to push me a bit too far, /
And every day sees another scar. /
Oh tell me, who do you think you are? /
If you want me there, / you gotta care! /
Oh tell me, /
Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care. /
Who do you really think that you are? (who) /
If you want me there, / you gotta care! /
Oh tell me, /
Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care. /
Who do you really think that you are? (who)/
Who do you think you are (who) /
Taking advantage of me this way? /
Tell me, who do you think you are (who), /
Hurting me more with the things you say? /
It's not fair, / you don't care...

17. _ You're In A Bad Way
[intro sample (on album):]
Of course london's a big place.
It's a very big place, mr shadrack. a man could lose himself in london. lose himself. lose himself. lose himself in london!
Toast is burned, / and your coffee's cold, /
And you leave all the post `cause it's nothing but bills again. /
Home from work, / put the tv on. /
Get your kicks watching bruce on the old generation game /
Just dial my number, / i've got some plans for you. /
You're in a bad way / and i can help you through. /
You're in a bad way, / every day is just the same. /
Just dial my number / or call my name. /
Jeans are old / and your hair's all wrong /
Don't you know that crew-cuts and trainers are out again? /
Going out / you're feeling low /
Running for cover, it looks like it's going to rain. / (what a shame.) /
Just dial my number, / i've got some plans for you. /
You're in a bad way / and i can help you through. /
You're in a bad way, / every day seems just the same. /
Just dial my number / or call my name. /
Just dial my number, / i've got some plans for you. /
You're in a bad way / and i can help you through. /
You're in a bad way, / every day seems just the same. /
Just dial my number / or call my name. /
You're in a bad way, / (you're in a bad way.) /
You're in a bad way, / (you're in a bad way.) /
You're in a bad way, / (you're in a bad way.) /
You're in a bad way, / (you're in a bad way.) /
