Galore

(kirsty maccoll/mark e.nevin)

When i was just a child
My folks would drive me wild
They'd spy upon my every move
Until it drove me to despair
They told me what to wear
They told me not to cut my hair
But that's all over now
I had to tell them anyhow

It's my affair
Where i go and what i do
It's my affair oh yeah
It's my affair
It's up to me and not to you
It's my affair

That's the way i want to keep it
I kissed the boy in secret
Thrilled me to the very core
I couldn't stop i wanted more and
I didn't hear the door and
They caught me on the floor
With my affair

And when we first got wed
We used to stay in bed
All day and night all night and day
We bedded half our lives away
But that's all over now
We move in higher circles
Chomping through the upper crust
I couldn't see you for the dust
And then you met that girl
Who left you with your money spent
And now it's no concern of yours
If i sleep with the president

It's my affair
And if i don't come home tonight
It's my affair alright
It's my affair
Who i see is up to me
It's my affair

That's how i want to keep it
I kiss the boys in secret
Hiding in the parking lot
Is just as far as i have got but
If the phone should ring and
There's no one there
Then it's my affair

Eso es asunto de ella
Donde va y lo que hace

Well it's all over now
You've seen the last of me
And i don't have to put up with you
Giving me the third degree
So you go on your way
And don't come sneaking round the back door
Trying to get yourself back in
Where you're not wanted anymore
It's my affair
Shoodoloowapbob
Shoodoloowap
It's my affair oh yeah
It's my affair
Who i see is up to me
It's my affair

That's how i want to keep it
I kiss the boys in secret
Making eyes at perfect strangers
I know that it could be dangerous
So if the phone should ring and
There's no one there then it's my affair

Donde va y lo que hace

Si yo vivo mi vida
Feliz y contenta
A nadie eso le importa

Donde va y lo que hace

Si mi queda afuera toda la noche
Es asunto mio

Donde va y lo que hace

Es que sufr

Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me

I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you believe me
And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me

Days i'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then i knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now i'm not frightened of this world believe me

I wish today could be tomorrow
The night is long
It just brings sorrow let it wait

Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
I'm thinking of the days
I won't forget a single day believe me

Days i'll remember all my life
Days when you can't see wrong from right
You took my life
But then i knew that very soon you'd leave me
But it's alright
Now i'm not frightened of this world believe me

Days, thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me

And though you're gone
You're with me every single day believe me

Days

(kirsty maccoll)

You've been around for such a long time now
Or maybe i could leave you but i don't know how
And why should i be lonely every night
When i can be with you, oh yes you make it right

And i don't listen to the guys who say
That you're bad for me and i should turn you away
Cause they don't know about us
And they've never heard of love

I get a feeling when i look at you
Wherever you go now i wanna be there too
They say we're crazy but i just don't care
And if they keep on talkin' still they get nowhere

So i don't mind if they don't understand
When i look at you and you hold my hand
Cause they don't know about us
And they've never heard of love

Why should it matter to us if they don't approve
We should just take our chances while we've got nothing to lose

Baby
There's no need for living in the past
Now i found good loving gonna make it last
I tell the others don't bother me
Cause when they look at you they don't see what i see

No i don't listen to their wasted lines
Got my eyes wide open and i see the signs
But they don't know about us
And they've never heard of love

No i don't listen to their wasted lines
Got my eyes wide open and i see the signs
But they don't know about us
And they've never heard of love

(kirsty maccoll/pete glenister)
It wouldn't take a long time
To explain what lies between us
And it wouldn't take a genius
To work out what the scene is
It might just take a pilot
To give you a natural high
But you're sending off those bottletops
For your 'free piece of mind!'
And are you just waving or drowning?
It's so hard to tell when you're so far away

Oh innocence has passed you by
A long long time ago
I was the fly upon your wall
And i saw what you know
Your pornographic priestess left you for another guy
You frighten little children and you always wonder why
Always wonder why

The mercury is rising
And it's not all that surprising
In the land of milk and honey
Where you make 'big money'
And it always keeps the rain off
And it always keeps you dry
But back home the people hate you
And you never did know why
But i think i'm going to tell you
Just give me fifty thousand lire for my thoughts

Oh innocence has passed you by
A long long time ago
I was the fly upon your wall
And i saw what you know
The supermarket checkout girl
Once smacked you in the eye
When you eat no one else does
But you always wonder why
Always wonder why

It would take a gunshot
Just to clear your head awhile
And after all this time
How can you stand there
Look at me and smile?

Now are you just waving or drowning?
It's so hard to tell when you're so far away

Oh innocence has passed you by
A long long time ago
I was the fly upon your wall
And i saw what you know
Degeneration suits you, now i'm going home to cry
You won't be seeing me again
But you'll always wonder why
Always wonder why

(kirsty maccoll/mark e. nevin)

I just know
Though i can't see
But i can feel his hands all over me
His hot breath on me
I can't resist
His rope, my wrists
I never knew there might be days like this

Dream on he says
Dream on he says
Will i be saved
From these titanic days

A violent frenzy
In a none too cheap hotel
He says it's hazy
But i remember it so well
His arms, his face
The way my words got twisted out of place

Dream on he says
Dream on he always says
It's sink or swim
In these titanic days

So hot so hungry
So faretheewell goodbye
I got so angry
Now i sit here and sigh
My love, always
We should rejoice in these titanic days

Dream on he says
Dream on he says
Will i be saved
Will i be saved
Dream on he says
Dream on he says
Do you ever get that sinking feeling?

(kirsty maccoll)
She called me up the other day

And left a message on my machine
She called me up the other day
She called to say you broke her heart
And left a message on my machine
And she wondered if i'd seen you
She called to say you broke her heart
I didnt know what to do i never called her back
And she'd wondered if i'd seen you
Oh how could i break the news like that
I didn't know what to do, i never called her back

Oh how can i break the news like that
Now i dont want to see Caroline

Don't want to see her face
Now i don't want to see caroline
When she finds out you're mine
Don't want to see her face when she finds out you're mine
Can't look in her eyes and say she'll be fine
Can't look in her eyes and tell her love is blind
No i don't want to see Caroline
Now i don't want to see caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see caroline


How can i want you so bad
How can i want you so bad
She has to lose again
She has to lose again
How could you walk out on her
How could you walk out on her
And turn to her best friend
And turn to her best friend
It was wrong from the start
It was wrong from the start
I wish i turned you away
I wish i'd turned you away
But my head said go
And my head said go, but my heart, my heart said stay
But my heart

My heart said stay
And now i don't want to see caroline

Don't want to see her cry when she knows you're mine
And now i don't want to see Caroline
Can't look in those eyes and tell her she'll be fine
Don't want to see her cry when she finds out you're mine
Now i don't want to see caroline
Can't look in those eyes and tell her love is blind
I don't want to see caroline
Now i don't want to see Caroline

I don't want to see Caroline
I'm so ashamed of myself that i still want you

What a terrible thing for a friend to do
I'm so ashamed of myself

But i still want you
I think i've gone too far this time
What a terrible thing for a friend to do
I leapt across that thin blue line
I think i've gone to far this time
God help this selfish heart of mine
I've leapt acress that thin blue line
Now i don't want to see caroline
God help this selfish heart of mine
I can never face caroline
No i don't want to see Caroline

I don't want to see Caroline
Now i lie here with you, can't get her out my head

Do you think she knows that you share my bed
Though i lie her with you
Well i don't want to see caroline
Can't get her out my head
Don't want to see her face when she finds out you're mine
Do you think she knows that you share my bed
How could a friend be so unkind

Well i don't want to see caroline
Well i don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see caroline
Don't want to see her cry when she finds out your mine
I don't want to see caroline
Can't look in her eyes and tell her love is blind
I don't want to see caroline
No i don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline
I don't want to see Caroline

(kirsty maccoll/gavin povey)

He was just a friend of mine
I'd run in to from time to time
And long before he moved away
We used to share a taste for wine
Still i never knew that he was sad back then
He said, the time had come for him to take a holiday

And he says it's brilliant there
There's something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He's on the beach
I know he's changed somehow
He sends us postcards now
I'm not sure where he is, but he is out of reach

When he called me up one day
And said that he was going away
I thought he meant a week in france
And not 12,000 miles to sydney bay
Still he had to take his chances
He said, the time had come, for him, to make a move away

And he says it's brilliant there
There's something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He's on the beach
I know he's changed somehow
He writes us postcards now
He's on his own again
And he is out of reach (i bet he gets it on the beach)
And i don't blame him
Leaving was the best thing he could do
He longed for changes
I just hope he's happy when he does the things he thinks he has to do
And he tries, and he tries, yes he tries
But he's a little bit hard on himself
So now he's trying to be someone else

And he says, he says, he says it's brilliant there
There's something in the air
And sunshine everywhere, he's on the beach
I know he's changed somehow
It's in his postcards now
He's on his own again, so far out of reach
And he says it's brilliant there
There's something in the air
And sunshine everywhere, he's on the beach
I know he's changed somehow
It's in his postcards now
He's in australia
So far out of reach
And he says it's brilliant there.

Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts
Can make you feel nothing at all
They'll never remember and they'll never mind
If you're counting the cracks in the wall
They're quick and they're greedy
They never feel guilty
They don't know the meaning of hurt
The boots just go back on
The socks that had stayed on
The next time they see you
They treat you like dirt
The next time they treat you like dirt

Now don't come the cowboy with me sonny jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me

Don't be too rough on my cold, cold heart
It's all i've got left to me now
I fell out of favour with heaven somewhere
And i'm here for the hell of it now
Some girls play cowboys
And some boys play harder to get
But they're got just the same
They smile and say cheese
They're so eager to please
But they'll never remember your name
The names and the places all change

But don't come the cowboy with me sonny jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me

Did somebody tell you i'm lonely as hell?
I didn't expect you to know me so well
If i learned a lesson it's how to bounce back again
Sometimes i bounce off the wall
And sometimes my head hits the floor

So don't come the cowboy with me sonny jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy, oh
Don't come the cowboy with me sonny jim
I know lots of those and you're not one of them
There's a light in your eyes tells me somebody's in
And you won't come the cowboy with me

(kirsty maccoll/philip rambow)

Oh darling why d'you talk so fast
Another evening just flew past tonight
And now the daybreak's coming in
And i can't win and it ain't right
You tell me all you've done and seen
And all the places you have been without me
Well i don't really want to know
But i'll stay quiet and then i'll go
And you won't have no cause to think about me

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
But he's a liar and i'm not sure about you

Oh darling you're so popular
You were the best thing new in hicksville
With your mohair suits and foreign shoes
Lou says you changed your pickup for a seville
And now i'm lying here alone
'cause you're out there on the phone to some star in new york
I can hear you laughing now
And i can't help feeling that somehow
You don't mean anything you say at all

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
But he's a liar and i'm not sure about you

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
Just like you swore to me that you'd be true
There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis
But he's a liar and i'm not sure about you
I said he's a liar and i'm not sure about you
I said he's a liar and i'm not sure about you
I said he's a liar and i'm not sure about you
