Don't Take Me Home

Pick a flower from her garden, she plays on my heart,
Like a cannon in the hands of a child my love.
She turned my head with a kiss that she blew on the wind,
Took her heart from her handbag and taught me to sing.
We'll make our names,
Oh one fine day,
Take me away,
My love we're free, we can do as we please,
Don't take me home.
I wanna talk, I want to be adored, she's bold,
Charmed the flowers from the rain with a pocket of gold.
She turned my head with a kiss that she blew on the wind,
Took her heart from her handbag and taught me to sing.
We'll make our names,
Oh one fine day,
Take me away,
My love we're free, we can do as we please,
Don't take me home.

Treat You Right

Well my friend, let's talk about life
Behind two beers, well 20 years could pass us by
And still we won't mind.
So you talk about the world and you tell me not to waste my time.
Well I know this charming girl,
I dream a lot, she takes it off and we lie in the dark.
Won't you please make it real?
'Cos I love the way you talk and I love the way you make me feel.
And I know I've gotta treat you right,
But I'm so in love with everyone else, I lose myself.
And I know I've gotta treat you right,
But I'm so in love with everyone else, I lose myself.

I'll Sleep Tonight
03:00
|

Suspended in the air are the words we sing in the space between us.
There's always a board she writes on, it turns the light on in my head.
In the day you'll find the sun still shines even in closed eyes,
Rub out your pencil smile 'cos it's alright if you want to cry.
When I get home late from work I will politely go back to bed.
I'll sleep tonight
I'll sleep tonight
All the time I spent on you,
All the time you spent on a fool.
I'l sleep tonight
I'll sleep tonight
I'll sleep tonight
I'll sleep tonight

Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
My girl has a dream - she's a hot pin-up queen, but her dreams are just never enough,
'Cos she wants to be everything that she's seen in the films that she watched growing up,
But I tell her:
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Now, she loves a romance, but we only slow dance in my bedroom to the tune of a hum.
I'd give my girl both the moon and the world if it hadn't already been done.
She wants to have it all,
She wants to have it all,
She wants to have it all,
But I tell her, I say:
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
She's got it all planned - her house and her Mustang - My girl's got expensive taste,
Now life's not a movie but she could have fooled me, my girl will never change.
She wants to have it all, but I tell her I say:
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.
Life is just not like the movies,
Not like the movies they say.

The Good Old Days
02:38

I miss all of those parties that we had,
A hundred sexy girls to every lad,
But none of us could pull for shit, we'd never take one home
We'd drink ourselves to death then share a smoke.
We must've fell in love like once a week,
With every pretty girl that we would see,
I'd think "take me now I'm yours my love, take me as I am",
But we'd be sicking in the toilet, shitting on what chance we had.
We were clowns in the good old days my love,
I miss the brave, bold good old days, my love,
The streets were paved with gold and dreams,
The greatest days we'll ever see,
Oh no.
I miss the endless nights in my front room,
Shit guitars and cartons of home brew,
I'd do it all again my friends, let's do it all again,
Why'd we let the good old days end?
We were clowns in the good old days my love,
I miss the brave, bold good old days, my love,
The streets were paved with gold and dreams,
The greatest days we'll ever see,
Oh no.

Only For Now
02:15
|

Oh darkness falls thick with stars and things along those lines,
Romance is dead, rest in piece, yes romance is dead.
I play the songs, you sing along ad get the words wrong.
So here I stand and here I stare into the night sky,
A thousand dreams, including this one, flutter on by,
I'd like to stay, I truly would, but I always awake to rainy day.
Take me where the sun shines, before I open my eyes,
Take me far from here, where the grass is greener.
So won't you take me down, take me down, take me down,
This heart of stone pleases no-one.
We fall on to a cloud, and you give it me all only for now,
Only for now,
Only for now.

See the world through borrowed eyes
Once again yesterday has passed you by
Nobody offers a pound for your thoughts
The world doesn't pay you at all
Maureen, sing a song for me
Maureen, na na na na na
Maureen, sing a song for me
Maureen, na na na na na
Society won't set you free
It's a swollen heart of tyranny
They sit in the sky with their puppeteer wives
Playing with your life
Maureen, sing a song for me
Maureen, na na na na na
Maureen, sing a song for me
Maureen, na na na na na
Maureen, sing a song for me
Maureen, na na na na na
Maureen, sing a song for me
Maureen, na na na na na

Tomorrow Again
05:11

It's so hard to dream
And stay in touch with the world,
Workers to the slaves relax,
Talk tonight and forget it all.
It's so hard to dream
And keep control of your mind,
Day by day we read a different book
And we're breathing in rules all the time.
So here I lie,
Knowingly sleeping,
I watch the sky,
Knowingly sleeping,
There is always tomorrow
There is always tomorrow
There is always tomorrow
Tomorrow again.
It's so hard to dream
And keep control of your mind,
Day by day we read a different book
And we're breathing in rules all the time.
So here I lie,
Knowingly sleeping,
I watch the sky,
Knowingly sleeping,
There is always tomorrow
There is always tomorrow
There is always tomorrow
Tomorrow again.
There is always tomorrow
There is always tomorrow
There is always tomorrow
Tomorrow again.
Tomorrow again,
Tomorrow again,
Tomorrow again.
