Moonriver
Wider than a mile
I'll be crossing you in style
Someday

Oh, dreammaker
You heartbreaker
Wherever you're going
I'm going your way


Two drifters
Off to see the world
I'm not so sure the world
Deserves us


We're after
The same rainbow's end
How come it's just around the bend ?
It's always just around the bend ?

Oh !

Time is like a dream
And now, for a time, you are mine
Let's hold fast to the dream
That tastes and sparkles like wine

Who knows (who knows)
If it's real
Or just something we're both dreaming of
What seems like an interlude now
Could be the beginning of love


Loving you
Is a world that's strange
So much more than my heart can hold
Loving you
Makes the whole world change
Loving you, i could not grow old


No, nobody knows
When love will end
So till then, sweet friend ...

Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They cannot
They cannot
They cannot do what you want them to do
Oh ...

Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They do not
They do not
They do not see what you want them to
Oh ...


Let the right one in
Let the old things fade
Put the tricks and schemes (for good) away


Ah ... i will advise
Ah ... until my mouth dries
Ah ... i will advise you to ...


Ah ... let the right one slip in
Slip in
Slip in


And when at last it does
I'd say you were within your rights to bite
The right one and say, "what kept you so long ?"
"what kept you so long ?"
Oh ...

Once i was complete and
Safe within your heart
Me - with a preference for
Making things worse

So, now i am a was
Now i am a was
I started at the top
And i worked my way down


Once i was so smugly
Foremost in your thoughts
Me - with a talent for
Making you cry


So, now i am a was
Now i am a was
I started at the top
And i worked my way down
So, now i am a was


So, now i am a was
I am a was
So, now i am a was
I am a, i am a, i am a, i am a,
I am a, i am a, i am a, i am a ...

Phlegm lapels for the last time
Corn beef legs for the last time
Oh, we're so glad
That you've finally decided

But then you see someone new
And you want someone new
So you have someone new
I don't blame you
We would all do the same as you
If ever we had the nerve to


Chips with cream for the last time
The people's friend for the last time
Oh, we're so glad
That you've finally decided


Tiny striped socks for the last time
Pokes and prods for the last time
And the doctor said
"don't nod your head until june !"


But then you see someone new
And you want someone new
So you have someone new
I don't blame you
We would all do the same as you
If ever we had the chance to


Sick at noon for the last time
And who is going to clean up ?
Would you be so kind ?
Oh, everybody's staring
At the strange clothes that you're wearing


Bad advice for the last time
And people being nice for the very first time
Oh, we're so glad
That you have finally decided !

David, the wind blows
The wind blows ...
Bits of your life away
Your friends all say ...
"where is our boy ? aah, we've lost our boy"
But they should know
Where you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You're going to ...

Oh, that you're going to ...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
England for the english !
England for the english !


David, the winds blow
The winds blow ...
All of my dreams away
And i still say :
"where is our boy ? ah, i've lost our boy"
But i should know
Where you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to the ...


National, oh ...
To the national ..
There's a country; you don't live there
But one day you would like to
And if you show them what you're made of ...


David, we wonder
We wonder if the thunder
Is ever really gonna begin
Oh, begin, oh, begin
Your mom says :
"i've lost my boy"
But she should know
Where you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to the :


National
To the national
To the national ... ah ...
Because you want the day to come sooner
You want the day to come sooner
You want the day to come sooner


Oh ...


We might release that as a single ... do you think it would be a hit ?
Crowd answer : no!
Er ... what ?

Police car with a screaming siren
Pneumatic drill on ripped-up concrete
Baby wails, a stray dog howling
Brakes screech as lamp light blinking

That's entertainment
That's entertainment


Smash of glass and a rumble of boots
Electric train and a ripped up phone booth
A hot day and a sticky black tarmac
A hot day and i'm wishing i was far away


That's entertainment
That's entertainment
La, la, la
La, la, la


Days of speed and a slow time mondays
Wake up at 6 am and think about your holidays
Open window and breathe in petrol
Cold flat with damp on the walls


Yes, that's entertainment
That's entertainment
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la


Two lovers kissing over screams of midnight
Two lovers miss the tranquility of solitude
Read grafitti of slash-seat affairs
Splattered walls and a kick in the balls


Is all that you get - in the name of entertainment
La, la, la
La, la, la ...

Things you have cherished
Now making you squirm
Ya ...
You've had her
And it's all over now

Why you were pining
You haven't a clue
Ya ...
You've had her
And it's all over now


It's all over now - for you
It's all only started - for her
Ah ...


And the one thing on your mind
Is : where is the next in line ?
As the words to all the love songs
Start making sense
To the girl
So
Far
Away

How sad are we ?
And how sad have we been ?
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
Oh, but only if - you're really interested

You wonder how
We've stayed alive 'till now
We'll - we'll let you know
We'll let you know
Ah, but only if - you're really interested


We're all smiles
Then, honest, i swear, it's the turnstiles
That make us hostile
Over there ...
Over there, over there
Over there ...
Over there ...


We will descend
On anyone unable to defend
Themselves
Over there ...
Over there, over there
Over there
Over there


And the songs we sing
They're not supposed to mean a thing
La, la, la, la ...
Over there


Oh ...
You're lonely
Oh ... you're lonely
Oh ...


Your arsenal !


We may seem cold, or
We may even be
The most depressing people you've ever known
At heart, what's left, of course we know
That we are the last truly british people you'll ever know
We are the last truly british people that you wouldn't want to know


Oh, so ...

Looking up at the sign
It said: "please keep away"
And so in i ran
You see ...

I'll never learn
Oh, i'll never learn
I'll never learn


Chapter one again
Here i go again
I found a fountain of youth
And i fell in
How could i ever win ?


I'll never learn


I'll never learn
I'll never learn
Why should i mind ?
Why should i care ?
I'll never learn
I'll never learn

A small boy, big ideas
You must please remember
A long road, with no turn-off
Oh, you must remember

Caught in your headlights
Like a frightened animal
You must remember


Someone cries twice nightly
Of course, i do remember
Someone cries and you think quite rightly so
But you refuse to remember


Caught in your headlights
Like a frightened animal
Oh, you must remember


Oh ...
Remember, remember
Oh ...
Remember, remember


Low-lights and long nights
I try hard to not remember
And you - too beautiful
I can't look


I've done so very many stupid things
It's too late (remember)


Oh ...
Oh ...
Remember, remember
Oh ...
Remember, remember
Oh ...
Oh, remember
Oh ...
Remember, oh ...
Oh ...
Oh, remember
Oh ...
Remember, oh
Oh ...
Oh, remember, oh
Oh ...
Remember, oh
Oh ...
Oh, remember, oh
Oh ...
Remember, oh

Staring in the window of the shop that never opens
Planning my selection from all the treats inside
Should i take as i desire - oh shall i, oh shall i ?
Or should i hang around to be enticed inside ?

I'm trying to explain to myself
I can have both
I'm trying to explain to the voice inside
I can have both
I can have both
There's nobody around to say no
Who've brain-washed the small shy boy inside
He doesn't know he can have both


Smiling through the window to the one who never serves you
I've not been feeling myself tonight
Should i take as i feel like it - well shall i, oh shall i ?
Or should i wait and hope to be dragged inside ?
Oh ...


I'm trying to explain to myself
I can have both
I'm trying to explain to the voice inside
I can have both
I can have both
There's nobody around to say no
Who've brain-washed the small shy boy inside
He doesn't know he can have both


I can have both
There's no need to choose
Because
I can have both
There's no need to choose
I can have both
There's no need to choose
Because
I can have both
There's no need to choose
I can have both
There's no need to choose

Oh, you silly old man
You silly old man
You're making a fool of yourself
So get off the stage

You silly old man
In your misguided trousers
With your mascara and your fender guitar
And you think you can arouse us ?


But the song that you just sang
It sounds exactly like the last one
And the next one
I bet you it will sound
Like this one


Downstage, and offstage
Don't you feel all run in ?
And do you wonder when they will take it away ?
This is your final fling


But then applause ran high
But for the patience of the ones behind you
As a verse drags on like a month drags on
It's very short, but it seems very long


And the song that you just sang
It sounds exactly like the last one
And the next one
I bet you it will sound
Like this one


So, get off the stage
Oh, get off the stage
And when we get down off of the stage
Please stay off the stage - all day !


Get off the stage
Oh, get off the stage
And when we've had our money back
Then i'd like your back in plaster


Oh, i know that you say
How age has no meaning
Oh, but here is your audience now
And they're screaming :


"get off the stage"
Oh, get off the stage
Because i've given you enough of my time
And the money that wasn't even mine
Have you seen yourself recently ?


Oh, get off the stage
Oh, get off the stage
For whom, oh ...
For whom, oh ...
For whom, oh ...
For whom, oh ...


Get off the stage
Get off the stage
Get off the stage


For whom the bell tolls

Please help the cause against loneliness
Would you like to note my home address ?
Please help the cause against loneliness
Would you kindly note my inside leg ?

Oh, i don't mind what time you come round
If it's the daytime then i might be in bed - oh
I'm so very young
I am so really, really young ... oh, oh


Please help the cause against loneliness
Would you like a list of my dislikes ?
There are people with problems
I know this ... i've know this for years
There are paupers and peers
Who have problems, oh


I don't mind what time you come round
If it's the weekend then i have to be dead, oh
I'm so very young
I'm so really, really young ... oh, oh
I'm so young - really, really (yeah yeah yeah)
I am so young
I am so young
I am so really, really young
I am so young
So young

The first day with the jar
You find
Everyone lies
The first day with the jar
You find
Everyone lies, nobody minds

Everyone lies
Where is the man you respect ?
And where is the woman you love ?
Where's the woman you love ?


The third week with the jar
You find
Everything dies
We won't vote conservative
Because we never have


Everyone lies, everyone lies
Where is the man you respect ?
And where is the woman you love ?
Where's the woman you love ?


I used to dream, and i used to vow
I wouldn't dream of it now
We look to los angeles
For the language we use
London is dead, london is dead
London is dead, london is dead
London is dead, london is dead
I'm still too much in love
Oh, i'm too much in love


I'm more in love

I am a poor freezingly cold soul
So far from where
I intended to go
Scavenging through life's very constant lulls
So far from where i'm determined to go

Wish i knew the way to reach the one i love
There is no way ...
I wish i had the charm to attract the one i love
But you see, i've got no charm
Oh ...


Tonight i've consumed much more than i can hold
Oh, this is very clear to you
And you can tell i have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, i sleep all day


And all of my life no-one gave me anything
No-one has ever given me anything, ah ...
My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye
You must be such a fool
To pass me by

I take the cue from
Certain people i know
I use the cue
And then i
Hand it on to you

And when i swing it
So, it catches his eye ... ah, ooh ...
(ah, weren't you there ?
- you'd have died !)


I trust the views of
Certain people i know
They look at danger
And they
Laugh their heads off


Their clothes are imitation
George the 23rd ah, ooh ...
(don't you find life absurd ?)


I'd hate to be like
Certain people i know
They break their necks
And can't afford to
Get them fixed
Aho, aho


Ah, and they'd sacrifice all
Of their principles for
Ah, anything cashable
I ... i do believe, waah ... it's terrible


Oh, wo, wo
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, wo, wo
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, wo, wo
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Sleep on and dream of love
Because it's the closest you will
Get to love, oh ah ...
The poor twisted child
So ugly, so ugly
The poor twisted child
Oh hug me, oh hug me
One november
Spawned a monster
In the shape of this child
Who later cried :

"but jesus made me, so
Jesus save me from
Pity, sympathy
And people discussing me"
This frame of useless limbs
What can make good
All the bad that's been done ?


And if the lights were out
Could you even bear
To kiss her full on the mouth
(or anywhere ?)
No, no, no, oh, no, no, no, no


The poor twisted child
So ugly, so ugly
The poor twisted child
Oh hug me, oh hug me
One november
Spawned a monster
In the shape of this child
Who must remain
A hostage to kindness
And the wheels underneath her
A hostage to kindness
And the wheels underneath her


A symbol of where mad, mad lovers
Must pause and draw the line.


Oh ...


So sleep and dream of love
Because it's the closest
You will get to love
Oh, no, no, no ... oh, no ... oh, no


Oh ...
Oh ...
Oh ...
Oh ...
Oh ...
Oh ...


One fine day
Let it be soon
She won't be rich or beautiful
But she'll be walking your streets
In the clothes that she went out
And chose for herself.


Thankyou ...

We hate it when our friends become successful
We hate it when our friends become successful
Oh, look at those clothes
Now look at that face, it's so old
And such a video !
Well, it's really laughable
Ha, ha, ha ...

We hate it when our friends become successful
And if they're northern, that makes it even worse
And if we can destroy them
You bet your life we will
Destroy them
If we can hurt them
Well, we may as well ...
It's really laughable
Ha, ha, ha ...


You see, it should've been me
It could've been me
Everybody knows
Everybody says so
They say :


"ah, you have loads of songs
So many songs
Oh, songs - and they can stand
Verse
Chorus
And middle eighth
Break a fade
Just listen ..."
La, la-la, la-la
Oh ...
La la la la la la la la


Thankyou, i love you. goodbye.

With the world's fate
Resting on your shoulder
You're gonna need
Someone on your side

You cannot do it by yourself
Any longer
You're gonna need
Someone on your side
Someone kindly told me
That you collected, oh
Very sharp bread knives


Oh, give yourself a break
Before you break down
You're gonna need someone on your side


And here i am
And here i am
Oh, well, you don't need
To look so pleased !


Day or night,
Oh, there is no difference
You're gonna need someone on your side


Day or night,
There is no difference
You're gonna need someone soon


And here i am
And here i am
Oh well, you don't need
To look so clean !
