Lyrics

She said “I’m Rosie”
I said “I thought you were Lucy”
She said “No Rosie, I told you so”
Was here with your sister
But she’s going out the back
I wanna dance and have fun y’know
Of all the shitty little places I meet you it’s here
And I’m freaking out
I heard you got a brand new name
Selling E’s in the dark
But hey it’s nothing to shout about

Don’t just say yes to tease me
Do your up most to please me
I don’t mean to be sleazy
Being you can’t be easy

When you’re creepin’ up the backstairs
Mother’s nightmares
Falling in the front door
My my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed, let’s go
Take your brother’s car keys
Bye bye

Well I see your yellow fingers
And your crucifix bones
All covered in cellophane
Was there when your best friend said
“Sweetheart, I’m just here to get drunk again”
I wouldn’t move if I was you
I wouldn’t wanna caught when the lights go out
She said “You think you’re so special”
I said “Sunshine I’m just just bored I’m just checkin’ out”

Don’t just say yes to tease me
Do your up most to please me
I don’t mean to be sleazy
Being you can’t be easy

When you’re creepin’ up the backstairs
Mother’s nightmares
Falling in the front door
My my
Climbing in your window
Get dressed, let’s go
Take your brother’s car keys
Bye bye

Don’t just say yes to tease me
Do your up most to please me
I don’t mean to be sleazy
Being you can’t be easy

When you’re creepin’ up the backstairs
Mother’s nightmares
Falling in the front door
My my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed let’s go
Take your brother’s car keys
Bye bye
When you’re creepin’ up the backstairs
Mother’s nightmares
Falling in the front door
My my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed let’s go
Take your brother’s car keys
Bye bye

Lyrics

Henrietta we got no flowers for you
Just these three miserable cunts
Sitting on the back seat
Banging on the off beat
We know you love us and you probably do
Although you’re husband may cut us
He’s such an animal
Though everything is possible

Give us a kiss
And maybe we can go out
It’s hard to miss you
When you follow us about
Buy us some shoes
And maybe take us for cola
We’ll get you there
In some filthy big gondola

Clean out the bank
And bump off your daddy, you can
Come live with us
Amongst the has-beens and the addicts, these are
Crazy times down at
Costello music, you can
Answer the phone and talk anyway you choose it, come on

Oh, come on
Oh, come on

Dear Henrietta we’re just three lonely boys
Though the girls love us, we’re so
Into you incredibly
We’d love to see you terribly
We’d love to hate you
But we don‘t have no choice
Come be our wa-ha-ha-ha
Honey, honey three four one time once more

Give us a kiss
And maybe we can go out
It’s hard to miss you
When you follow us about
Buy us some shoes
And maybe take us for cola
We’ll get you there
In some filthy big gondola

Clean out the bank
And bump off your daddy, you can
Come live with us
Amongst the has-beens and the addicts, these are
Crazy times down at
Costello music, you can
Answer the phone and talk anyway you choose it, come on

Wa-wa-wa-wow
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wow
Wa-wa-wa-wow
Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wow

Clean out the bank
And bump off your daddy, you can
Come live with us
Amongst the has-beens and the addicts, these are
Crazy times down at
Costello music, you can
Answer the phone and talk anyway you choose it, come on

Clean out the bank
And bump off your daddy, you can
Come live with us
Amongst the has-beens and the addicts, these are
Crazy times down at
Costello music, you can
Answer the phone and talk anyway you choose it, come on

Woah, come on
Oh, come on
Woah, come on
Oh, come on
Woah, come on
Oh, come on

Lyrics

Well just because she feeds me well
And she made me talk dirty in a pink hotel
Doesn’t mean she’s got eyes for me
She might just want my bones you see

Hey, flathead, don’t you get mean
She’s the second best killer that I ever have seen
They don’t come much more sick than you
I could go on if you want me to

It’s just so wrong, so very nice
I told you once and you killed me twice
I saw you one time at the back of the club
Chewing on glass and a ticket stub

I heard they kicked the boy till he bled
Then stood and said, “Oh, my god”
’till she said,
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da

Everybody knows you’re the one to call
When the girls get ugly at the back of the wall
Josephine says you got a bleedin’ nose
So taking it with her wherever she goes

Hey, flathead, don’t check me in
Well, hers is a tonic and mine is a gin
They don’t come much more slick than you
I’d drive your car if you asked me to

Said the boy’s not right in the head
And he stood and got a kickin’ instead
’till she said,
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da

Do-do-dododo

She said, “The boy’s not right in the head”
And he stood and said, “Oh, my god”
’till she said,

Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da
Bada ba bada da da da

Lyrics

This old man I’ve talked about
Broke his own heart,
Poured it in the ground.
Big red tree grew up and out,
Throws up its leaves,
Spins round and round.
I know all this and more.

So take your hat off
When you’re talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.

This little squirrel I used to be
Slammed her bike down the stairs.
They put silver where her teeth had been.
Baby silvertooth,she grins and grins.
I know all this and more.

So take your hat off boy
When you’re talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.

Take your hat off boy
When you’re talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.

This old man I used to be
Spins around, around, around the tree.
Silver baby come to me.
I’ll only hurt you in my dreams.

I know all this and…
I know all this and…
I know all this and more.

So take your hat off boy
When you’re talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.

Take your hat off
When you’re talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree.

Lyrics

Come on, can I dream for one day?
There’s nothing that can’t be done
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone

Cuz I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feelin’ like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?

Now I’ve lived through my share of misfortune
And I’ve worked in the blazing sun
But how long should it take somebody
Before they can be someone

Cuz I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feelin’ like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?

I’m the typical
I’m the typical
Can I break the spell of the typical?

Because it’s draggin’ me down
Oh, I’d like to know about when
When does it all turn around?

Yeah I know there’s got to be another level
Somewhere closer to the other side
And I’m feelin’ like it’s now or never
Can I break the spell of the typical?

Break the spell (of the typical)
Break the spell (of the typical)
Can I break the spell of the typical?

Lyrics

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I’ll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

God knows you put your life in two a times
And it’s both cradled you and crushed
But now it’s time to make your own demands
Whoa

All these years later and it’s killing me
Your broken records and words
Ten thousand craters where it all should be
Whoa

No need to put your words into my mouth
Don’t need convincing at all
I love this place enough to have no doubt
Whoa

It’s a mess
It’s a start
It’s a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing ‘til you drop
Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

Tell me you never wanted more from this
And I will stop talking now
One perfect partner, one eternal kiss
Whoa

Take back the city for yourself tonight
Or I’ll take back the city for me
Take back the city for yourself tonight
Whoa

It’s a mess
It’s a start
It’s a flawed work of art
Your city, your call
Every crack, every wall
Pick a side, pick a fight
Get your epitaph right
You can sing ‘til you drop
Cause the fun just never stops

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
It bears it’s teeth like a light
And spits me out after days
But we’re all gluttons for it
We know what’s wrong and it’s right
For every time it’s been hit
Take back the city tonight

I love this city tonight
I love this city always
I love this city tonight
I love this city always

Lyrics

Oh you know I did it
It’s over and I feel fine
Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
Waiting and I wait at the longest night
Nothing like the taste to sweet decline

I was down, I fell, I fell so fast
Dropping like the grains in an hourglass
Never say forever cause nothing last
Dancing with the thorns of my buried past

Nevermind there’s nothing I can do
Bet your life there’s something killing you

It’s a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

What a way to go, they have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

Finished, I’m getting you off my chest
Made you come clean in a dirty dress
A promise is a promise you kept in check
Heart across a heart that beats it’s best

Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Then the pleasure ’bout the pleasure’s
been mine, all mine

Nevermind there’s nothing I can do
Bet your life there’s something killing you

It’s a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

What a way to go, they have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

Ain’t no way, DOA
Ain’t no way, DOA

Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Then the pleasure ’bout the pleasure’s
been mine, all mine

Nevermind there’s nothing I can do
Bet your life there’s something killing you

It’s a shame we have to die my dear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

What a way to go, they have no fear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time

It’s a shame we have to disappear
No ones getting out of here, alive
This time
This time
This time

Lyrics

I am a one way motorway
I’m the one that drives away
then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I’m a wild light blinding bright
burning off alone

it’s times like these you learn to live again
it’s times like these you give and give again
it’s times like these you learn to love again
it’s times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky
to hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
do I stay or run away
and leave it all behind?

it’s times like these you learn to live again
it’s times like these you give and give again
it’s times like these you learn to love again
it’s times like these time and time again

Lyrics

visiting is pretty
visiting is good
seems that all they ever wanted was a brother
this can be a secret
we can keep it good
even all the ever wanting had a problem

this is a call to all my
past resignations
it’s been too long

fingernails are pretty
fingernails are good
seems that all they ever wanted was a marking

them balloons are pretty
big and say they should
ever fall to ground
call the magic marker

this is a call to all my
past resignations
this is a call to all
this is a call to all my
past resignations
it’s been too long

minicyn is pretty
minicyn is good
seems that all the cysts and mollusks tend to barter

ritalin is easy
ritalin is good
even all the ones
who watered down the daughter

Lyrics

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah

It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open
I guess that changed my mind
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
Cause they calling me by my name
And the zipping white light beams
Disregards the bombs and satellites

That was the turning point
That was one lonely nigh

The song maker says, “It ain’t so bad”
The dream maker’s going make you mad
The spaceman says, “Everybody look down
Its all in your mind”

Well now I’m back at home, and
I’m looking forward to this life I live
You know its gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give
You think you might cross over
You’re caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that leap

And you know I’m fine
But I hear those voices at night sometimes
They justify my claim
And the public don’t dwell my transmission
Cause it wasn’t televised

But, it was the turning point
Oh what a lonely night

The song maker says, “It ain’t so bad”
The dream maker’s going make you mad
The spaceman says, “Everybody look down
Its all in your mind”

The song maker says, “It ain’t so bad”
The dream maker’s going make you mad
The spaceman says, “Everybody look down
Its all in your mind”

My global position systems are vocally addressed
They say the Nile used to run from east to west
They say the Nile used to run from east to west

And you know I’m fine
But I hear those voices at night
Sometimes

The song maker says, “It ain’t so bad”
The dream maker’s going make you mad
The spaceman says, “Everybody look down
Its all in your mind”
The song maker says, “It ain’t so bad”
The dream maker’s going make you mad
The spaceman says, “Everybody look down
Its all in your mind”

It’s all in my mind
It’s all in my mind
It’s all in my mind
It’s all in my mind
It’s all in my mind

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oooah
