unknown

Punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet ?

When in this charming car
This charming man


Why pamper life's complexities
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat ?


I would go out tonight
But i haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "it's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"


Ah ! a jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things


I would go out tonight
But i haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "it's gruesome
That someone so handsome should care"
La, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...
Oh, la-la, la-la, la-la, this charming man ...


Ah ! a jumped-up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things

Jeane
The low-life has lost its appeal
And i'm tired of walking these streets
To a room with its cupboards bare

Jeane
I'm not sure what happiness means
But i look in your eyes
And i know
Oh ...
That it isn't there


Oh, we tried, and we failed
Oh, we tried, and we failed
We tried and we failed
We tried and we failed
We tried


Oh, jeane
There's ice on the sink where we bathe
So how can you call this a home
When you know it's a grave ?


Yet you still have that greedy grace
As you tidy the place
But it will never be clean
Jeane


We tried and we failed
We tried, and we failed
We tried and we failed
We tried and we failed
And we tried


Oh ...
Cash on the nail
It's just a fairytale
Oh ...
And i don't believe in magic anymore
Jeane


But i think you know
I really think you know
Oh ...
Oh yes, i think you know the truth
Jeane


Oh ...


No heavenly choirs
Not for me and not for you
Because i think you know
I really think you know
Oh ...
I think you know the truth
Oh, jeane


We tried, and we failed
We tried, and we failed
We tried and we failed
We tried and we failed
We tried

Bought on stolen wine
A nod was the first step
You knew very well
What was coming next

Bought on stolen wine
A nod was the first step
You knew very well
What was coming next


Did i really walk all this way
Just to hear you say :
"i don't want to go out tonight" ?
"oh, i don't want to go out tonight"

But you will
For you must


I don't owe you anything at all
But you owe me something
So repay me now


You should never go to them
Let them come to you
Just like i do
Just like i do


You should not go to them
Let them come to you
Just like i do, oh
Just like i do


Did i really walk all this way
Just to hear you say :
"i don't want to go out tonight" ?
"no i don't want to go out tonight"

But you will
For you must


I don't owe you anything at all
But you owe me something
Repay me now


Too freely on your lips
Words prematurely sad
Oh, but i know what will make you smile tonight


Life is never kind
Life is never kind
Oh, but i know what will make you smile tonight

Over the moor, take me to the moor
Dig a shallow grave
And i'll lay me down

Over the moor, take me to the moor
Dig a shallow grave
And i'll lay me down


Lesley-anne, with your pretty white beads
Oh john, you'll never be a man
You'll never see your home again
Oh manchester, so much to answer for


Edward, see those alluring lights ?
Tonight will be your very last night


A woman said : "i know my son is dead
I'll never rest my hands on his sacred head"


Hindley wakes and hindley says :
Hindley wakes, hindley wakes, hindley wakes, and says :
"oh, wherever he has gone, i have gone"


But fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death
But fresh lilaced moorland fields
Cannot hide the stolid stench of death


Hindley wakes and says :
Hindley wakes, hindley wakes, hindley wakes, and says :
"oh, whatever he has done, i have done"


But this is no easy ride
For a child cries :


"find me ... find me, nothing more
We are on a sullen misty moor
We may be dead and we may be gone
But we will be, we will be, we will be, right by your side
Until the day you die
This is no easy ride
We will haunt you when you laugh
Yes, you could say we're a team
You might sleep
You might sleep
You might sleep
But you will never dream !
Oh, you might sleep
But you will never dream !
You might sleep
But you will never dream !

Oh manchester, so much to answer for
Oh manchester, so much to answer for

Oh, find me, find me !
Find me !
I'll haunt you when you laugh
Oh, i'll haunt you when you laugh
You might sleep
But you will ...
Oh ...


Over the moors, i'm on the moors
Oh, over the moors
Oh, the child is on the moors

Here her head, she lay
Until she'd rise and say :
"i'm starved of mirth;
Let's go and trip a dwarf"

Oh, what to be done with her ?
Oh, what to be done with her ?
Oh ...


Ice water for blood
With neither heart or spine
And then just
To pass time; let us go and rob the blind


What to be done with her ?
I ask myself :
What to be said of her ?
Oh ...


But when she calls me, i do not walk, i run
Oh, when she calls, i do not walk, i run
Oh ...
Oh ...


Oh ...

"um ... this song was written by ... erm, erm ..."
What would you sell ?
Loose glasses and suit
Heart and soul
Won't wear out


That's not enough !
I wonder what's inside
Fish fillet knife
Can cut
Right through my eye ...


I'm looking for some words
To call my own
Worn-out phrases
And a hand-me-down


They'll knock me
Under where i stand
Sad on his back
In a corned beef pan


Going under
You can feel them pulling me down
To the rust inside ...


This is the way ...
Franken-star is born


Bits and pieces
Others have worn
All held together by a management glue
Too much glue
Watch the stars turn blue
Turn blue
Turn blue
Turn blue
Turn blue


I'm going under
You can feel them pulling me down
To the halls of rust
Eeh ...


I, i, i, i, i ...


Thankyou ...

Oh, the nights are too long
When the questions are long
I tried, but i will never understand
What do you see in him ?
What do you see in him ?
Oh ...

She's the lifeblood of me
As you walk hand in hand
And i try, and i try, and i try
But i will never understand
Oh, what do you see in him ?
I ask myself :-
What do you see in him ?
Oh ...


But she will plague you and i will be glad
Yes, she will plague you and i will be glad
Oh ...
Oh ...

I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am human and i need to be loved
Just like everybody else does


I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Oh, of nothing in particular


You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am human and i need to be loved
Just like everybody else does


Oh ...
Oh ...


There's a club, if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go, and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home, and you cry
And you want to die


When you say it's gonna happen "now"
Well, when exactly do you mean ?
See, i've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone


Oh ...
Oh ...


You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way ?
I am human and i need to be loved
Just like everybody else does


Ok ?
