Cinerama

I did get your message.
I just can't believe you're doing this.
What is wrong with you?
I told you, it's over. i am not coming back.
More importantly, i just don't love you any more.
Can't you get that into your head?


And when i made that stupid oath
About how i was going to
Pay for someone to kill you both
It was just my way of showing you

That i wasn't playing
Oh yeah, you're right, i sounded like a maniac
But that's just what i am saying
You'll only see how much i've changed, if you come back

And when i threw out all your books
You know that wasn't planned
I know how terrible it looks
But you got to understand

It's just that they'd remind me
Of sleepy days and sleepless nights i spent with you
I tried to put it all behind me
I didn't realise how much i'm still in love with you

Oh please can't you drop this stance
And maybe give me one more chance
Just say what you want from me

Because, oh, i'd do anything to bring you back home
Oh yeah, anything, just pick up the 'phone

Everyone thinks that i look thin
Oh but i don't mind them
But these insects crawling on my skin
Why can i never find them?

The thought of you two screwing
Has turned me into some kind of a maniac
I really don't know what i'm doing
You'll only see how much i've changed, if you come back

Oh please can't you drop this stance
And maybe give me one more chance
Just say what you want from me

Because, oh, i'd do anything to bring you back home
Oh yeah, anything, just pick up the 'phone
I'd do anything to bring you back home
Oh yeah, anything, just pick up the 'phone

You know that I've had my suspicions all along
Well would you be here now,
if something wasn't wrong?
Your heart broke, and you still joke
Because you're such a comedienne
But that creep made you weep
Don't laugh it off again

Oh just forget the things he said
And get into bed
...

He never loved you
and deep down you know I'm right
If you don't want to go back home just stay the night
Oh I'm not joking
Because you're the comedienne
No I mean it, I've seen it
And now I want to see you smile again

Oh just forget the things he said
And get into bed
...

You want to leave him and you're looking for excuses
That's why you're here,
I guess us old friends have our uses
But we could, oh we should
Lie down here, you won't regret it
Stay near me, do you hear me?
Oh, I'm sincere, now come and get it

Oh just forget the things he said
And get into bed

I'm glad you agree
you've got so many things to say sorry for
But listen to me because I'm not going to
take it all anymore

There was a time, don't ask me when,
it made sense, somehow
But, darling I'm just so glad
that I can see clearly now

Because I hate your lies
and the guys you call friends
In fact just everything's telling me this is
where the love affair ends

I should say good bye but I don't think I will,
it might slow you down
Oh you'll get by, just start a new life,
in some other town

Oh please don't cling, take whatever you want,
oh yeah, I'll agree
To anything that keeps you a long way away from me

Because I hate your style and your smile,
and I regret
That almost everything about you makes me
wish that we'd never met

We are just so wrong for each other
That it's hard for me to understand
How I ever wanted you for a lover
I hate your country, your continent and

I hate your lies and the guys you call friends
In fact just everything is telling me
this is where the love affair ends
I hate your style and your smile, and I regret
That almost everything about you makes me
wish that we'd never met

Well at least can't you
Look at me when i'm speaking to you?
Because there are things i've got to say
Well what was he sneaking to you
When you thought i'd looked away?

I get it, i get it
Now i understand just what you're playing
I get it, i get it
I guess there isn't any point delaying

You would rather that i wasn't here
You don't have to say a word, it's crystal clear

You bought him presents with my money
That makes me feel just great, although
I've got to say that it is kind of funny
That you could think i'd never know

I get it, i get it
It was just another way of saying
I get it, i get it
That you really didn't want me staying

Oh i bet you just wish that i'd disappear
You don't have to say a word, it's crystal clear

Lying in my bed
You remember when
It was you who said
That we'd never be apart again
But now the longer that i hang around
The more anxious that you get
Oh it looks like romeo has found
A nervous juliet

Because you would rather that i wasn't here
You don't have to say a word, it's crystal clear
Oh i bet you just wish that i'd disappear
You don't have to say a word, it's crystal clea

That smile on your face as you awake
Oh, it just makes my heart ache
Let's lie all day here in the dark
And watch "Barefoot in the Park"

And it's because you're so sublime
That I think about you all the time
Don't ask me if it's true
Because how could anybody not love you?

You open my lips with your thumb
You know I will succumb
When you shave my skin I don't feel pain
And I just can't explain

How it's because you're so sublime
That I think about you all the time
Don't ask me if it's true
Because how could anybody not love you?

And the world before I met you
I can't remember now, what was that like?
Because you, you're so beautiful
...

Just hold your body close to mine

Oh that feels so divine
You're every single dream I've had come true
I'm so glad I found you

Yes it's because you're just sublime
That I think about you all the time
Don't ask me if it's true
Because how could anybody not love you?

And the world before I met you
I can't remember now, what was that like?
Because you, you're so beautiful
There is no part of you that I dislike
Oh what would I do without you?

I saw you staring, i pretended not to care
You left your hirsute presence hanging in the air
I didn't want to fall in love but now i think you've changed my mind

Yeah, there was someone, but that was years ago
She was positively charming but i had to let her go
She needed to be adored and i didn't feel inclined

There's no way, since then that i've ever wanted anyone
To stay again, oh, but you just really turn me on

And i can't take my eyes off you tonight
And if you asked me to make love to you, i might
Because nobody's ever made me feel like this before

It's disconcerting, it's becoming quite surreal
There is no point in asking because i don't know how i feel
But i'm sure that this is something too good to ignore

There's no way, since then that i've ever wanted anyone
To stay again, but now suddenly those thoughts have gone

There's no way, since then that i've ever wanted anyone
To stay again, oh, but you just really turn me on

There's no way, since then that i've ever wanted anyone
To stay again, but now suddenly those thoughts have gone

his

Gone as far as i can go with this crap
I've not come here just to
Watch him lie
With his head in your lap
Well, at least not there, oh must you?

I've gone as far as
I can go with this crap
I've not come here just to
Watch him lie
With his head in your lap
Well, at least not there

When you started to screw, i knew
I should have run away
Because i could hear it all through the wall
But i just had to stay
Every laugh, every cry, every sigh
Oh i can't face
The way i've behaved, but i just craved
To be in his place

I told him when we met
I told him i was afraid
That you'd just play with him
But i won't forget
Those sounds that you made
Behind that door with him

I told him when we met i
Told him i was afraid
That you'd just play with him
But i won't forget
Those sounds that you made
Behind that door

When you started to screw,
I knew i should have run away
Because i could hear it all through the wall
But i just had to stay
Every laugh, every cry, every sigh
Oh i can't face
The way i've behaved, but i just craved
To be in his place

(hers)
But this is all your fault
We made a solemn promise
You said: "let's be adult"
"there's no point running from it"

But this is all your fault
We made a solemn promise
You said: "let's be adult"
"there's no point running from it"

I was too scared to phone
In case you weren't alone
So I called up your best friend instead
Because I had to know

Oh, and when I asked her
If you two were
Still living together, she said:
"I don't think so"

And please don't think that
I'm suggesting you're over-sexed
But if he's really gone

Oh please, can I be the next?
Let me be the next

And if you really knew
How much I'd worshipped you
Right from the first time we spoke
Would you have relented?

But all those looks we'd share
When he wasn't there
Do you think that was all just a joke?
Oh well I meant it

And please don't think that I'm suggesting you're over-sexed
But if he's really gone

Oh please, can I be the next?
Let me be the next
...

Please, can I be the next?
Let me be the next
Please, can I be the next?
Let me be the next

And guess what I found
It's a letter that I started writing
When you walked out
It says that I won't miss you
Because I've met someone who's more exciting
But that wasn't true
So how did I lose you?
The last thing you ever wanted to do was to hurt me
But I'd still accuse you
And I couldn't know
I'd never feel the same way with another
So I let you go
Yeah, I've got a girlfriend
She's beautiful, considerate and yes, I do love her
But I'm not going to pretend
That she's ever going to be the one
Because now I know that it was you all the time
How could I ever think it wasn't true?
Now I've stopped trying to tell myself that I've
Grown out of being in love with you
...
And deep in the night
I lie awake and think about you
Of course it's not right
But what can I do?
I can't sleep in this bed without you
If you only knew
Yeah, I've got a girlfriend
She's beautiful, considerate and yes, I do love her
But I'm not going to pretend
That she's ever going to be the one
Because now I know that it was you all the time
How could I ever think it wasn't true?
So now I've stopped trying to tell myself that I've
Grown out of being in love with you
Now I know that it was you all the time
How could I ever think it wasn't true?
Now I've stopped trying to tell myself that I've
Grown out of being in love with you

I thought that we could just lie here,
but yes I know how you love dancing in that dress
And yes, I love to watch
You soothe away my troubles
But now slide those freshly shaven legs into
The clean cold sheets I've put on just for you
With every single touch
My love for you just doubles

But of course none of this has happened at all, yet
We've not even spoken, but I'll bet
Once you're through my door
You'll want to stay for ever more
Because I will hold you so tight, I'll make you see how
You are the right woman for me now
Just give me a glance
To show me that I've got a chance

All this cavorting is designed to tease
And girl your dancing drives me wild so please
Do it one more time
But make it last forever

Oh how come none of this has happened at all, yet
We've not even spoken, but I'll bet
Once you're through my door
You'll want to stay for ever more
Because I will hold you so tight, I'll make you see how
You are the right woman for me now
Just give me a glance
To show me that I've got a chance

Oh dance, girl, dance

None of this has happened at all, yet
We¹ve not even spoken, but I'll bet
Once you through my door
You¹ll want to stay for ever more
Because I will hold you so tight, I'll make you see how
You are the right woman for me now
Just give me a glance
To show me that I've got a chance

Oh I'm sick of hearing you say
That you can't 'phone because he'll hear you calling
But don't you think the way
That you're treating us both is quite appalling?

Oh, sure, you nearly told him everything
But nearly doesn't mean a thing

I know you don't want to row
Oh but you think you're just so clever
Well, I'm waiting now
But I won't be waiting here forever

Oh, sure, you nearly told him everything
But nearly doesn't mean a thing

And you know full well I'm right
And if you won't say a word, I might
Because you've had thousands of chances
To tell him his romance is
Not exactly what he'd call true
I know the strain that you're under
But I've started to wonder
If one lover is sufficient for you

Oh, sure, you nearly told him everything
But nearly doesn't mean a thing

If you don't talk to him until I force you to, I will
Because you know full well I'm right
And if you won't say a word, I might

Because you've had thousands of chances
To tell him his romance is
Not exactly what he'd call true
I know the strain that you're under
But I've started to wonder
If one lover is sufficient for you

I'm not denying that I was trying to appear nonchalant
You're not my wife; it's your own life and you can kiss who you want
But that kiss lasted slightly longer than strictly was right
You say you tried to break off but he was stronger
Well maybe you might
Not be quite as blame free as your expression suggests
If he's only an old buddy why does he stare at your breasts?
And is he always quite so zealous about keeping in touch?
I don't usually get this jealous, but that was too much
Please don't tease
Just stay away from him from today
I mean it, I've seen it
You say it's all just for fun, but look what you've done
Listen, babe, he was already trying to get his hand down your shirt!
From what you're saying (well, unless you're lying!) he's going to get hurt
Please don't tease
Just stay away from him from today
I mean it, I've seen it
You say it's all just for fun, but look what you've done

You are perfection personified
While, frankly, she's undignified
Trust me, she disgusts me, she dares me, she scares me
She bites me, excites me, annoys me, destroys me
And if I say you're beautiful and kind
I can hear her laughing in my mind
Because she mocks me, she shocks me, she sours me, devours me
She chokes me, provokes me, she hates me, she devastates me
I didn't plan on falling for two girls at the same time
I didn't plan on lying to you
Listen darling, I'm really trying to ignore her but she just slips into my head
Don't you think I'm feeling guilty? Well that's not what you said
And you're right, she wears disgusting clothes
And she chews her hair in ways I loathe
But she charms me, she harms me, she fights me, delights me
She breaks me, she takes me, she eats me, she defeats me
I didn't plan on falling for two girls at the same time
I didn't plan on lying to you
Listen darling, I'm really trying to ignore her but she just slips into my head
But don't you think I'm feeling guilty? Well that's not what you said

The wind has died and your tears have dried
But you're still not angry with me
Estrella please, don't just forgive me
I wish you weren't so understanding
when I've told you lies
Why do you still believe these alibis?
Because you must know by now,
something is wrong, somehow
And I thought by being sleazy
That I could, well, just make this easy
So why does your voice still sound so trusting when you ask me why
Why don't you doubt me when I say I'll try?
Because believe me, you should leave me
You're making it too hard
How can you disregard
What I'm doing, what I'm pursuing?
I don't know what you want to do
But I am not the man for you
You've never found out if I sleep around
But that's because you haven't even tried to
You don't even know when you're being lied to
I can't believe you don't suspect some slight adultery
You must see that you're much too good for me
Because believe me, you should leave me
You're making it too hard
How can you disregard
What I'm doing, who I'm pursuing?
I don't know what you want to do
But I am not the man for you
Oh, yes believe me, yes, you should leave me
You're making it too hard
How can you disregard
What I'm doing, who I've been screwing?
I don't know what you want to do
But I am not the man for you

I could hardly believe I was hearing your voice at first
It's been such a long time;
I was starting to fear the worst
And in your last letter you talked about meeting
some strange new men
I began to think I might never see you again
So now I feel so much better
I have missed you so much
I don't think a single day's gone by
When I've not thought about you
...

And how we spent those winter nights
just sat by the fire, you in your 'cat girl' tights
And we talked forever about the things
you were going to do
And I was so sure that,
when all your dreams came true, we'd still be together
You moved away; I didn't mind
because I'm not one of the things
that you've left behind
Tell me it's true
...

I have missed you so much
I don't think a single day's gone by
When I've not thought about you
You moved away; I didn't mind
because I'm not one of the things
that you've left behind
Tell me it's true

And I was watching you from the observation deck
Until your plane became a shiny speck
And if I wanted to sentimentalise
I'd say the planes drew kisses across the sky
So now, you're airborne
But I could have sworn
That you'd be here forever
That wasn't so clever
The vapour trail's dissipating fast
I guess some things aren't made to last
And I might be feeling quite morose
But now I'm wondering if we ever got close
Your plane keeps shrinking
I stand here thinking
Just how did I get this far
Without guessing what you are?
You just packed up all your stuff
And said that you'd had enough
But, really, you just flew away
the moment things here got tough
And all the problems we had
Didn't really make you that sad
You just never worked out
how to take the good with the bad

It's almost unfair that someone should be quite so stunning
When they said that you'd called for me I came running
Your perfect hands
Those few loose strands of hair that are out of place, falling across your face
Your fingertips, your eyes, your lips
The minute I closed the door you caressed me
Then pulled me down to the floor and undressed me
You tied my hands and whispered commands
Then my whole body shook as you began to suck
I cried your name and then I came
You own me, you own me, and I'll do anything
You own me, you own me, and I'm not arguing
Anything that you want to do, I'll do it
I'm completely enslaved by you; I'll do it
Anything that you want to do, I'll do it
I'm completely enslaved by you; I'll do it
You own me, you own me, and I'll do anything
You own me, you own me, and I'm not arguing
You own me, you own me, and I'll do anything
You own me, you own me, and I'm not arguing

And by the way, I'm sorry for calling you loose
Oh, well, but look who you chose to seduce
OK, well, none of those things I said were true
Now I regret, continuing with the pretence
Because it just doesn't make any sense
Because I'd still like to be, well, friends with you
So please don't ignore me, that'd be really the end
I just lost a lover; I don't want to lose a friend
That would be careless
That would be careless
But I'm not still in love with you
No, I'm not still in love with you
And I'm sure that together we can make this work
As long as I stop being a jerk
As long as you stop indulging his every whim
Because I know I could put up with all of this mess
Just to see you wearing that dress
You know I'll be here when you're through with him
No please don't ignore me, that'd be really the end
I just lost a lover; I don't want to lose a friend
That would be careless
That would be careless
But I'm not still in love with you
No, I'm not still in love with you
That would be careless
That would be careless
But I'm not still in love with you
No, I'm not still in love with you

And so exactly what went on between you two?
The night was hot; I was away from you
It's time to confess; did you wear your red dress?
Oh, I knew!
You're forgiven now, but I still need to know
Just tell me how and tell me slow
Did he undo your bra; did he make it that far,
yes or no?
Again, oh please just tell me again
And this time don't fail to give me every last detail
I'm sincere, I really do want to hear
What was in your head
when you had a stranger in our bed
And did he touch you there and did it feel like bliss?
And did he stroke your hair; tell me about every kiss
And when he made you come,
was it more thrilling doing something like this?
Again, oh please just tell me again
And this time don't fail to give me every last detail
I'm sincere, I really do want to hear
What was in your head
when you had a stranger in our bed

Starry Eyed
by Cinerama

Why have you locked the bathroom door?
It's not as if I haven't seen you piss a thousand times before
And why can't you look me in the face?
Is it because somebody else has already moved into my place?
But I shouldn't put any questions to you
That I don't really want the answers to
Why didn't you return my call?
Well tell me is there any point in my being here at all?
Why can't you just tell me what's wrong?
Have I been totally nai"ve in trusting you all along?
But I shouldn't put any questions to you
That I don't really want the answers to

When, finally,
I wake up you're removing last night's makeup
You turn your head and then crawl back into bed
There's an element of danger sleeping
with a complete stranger
But I confess, I'm so glad that you said yes
Because the moment I saw you I knew,
and I swore you'd be mine
Because you looked divine
And I can't help myself yawning;
we didn't sleep 'til five this morning
Is this for keeps? Well at least 'til your mobile beeps
You take an age to read it and then immediately delete it
I didn't see the text but I know what's coming next
"I've got to change these sheets before he returns and learns that I've been doing this
I'm sorry I've ruined it, but, God, I just couldn't stop!"
I'm so glad you didn't
Until you got that call you didn't mention him at all
And I'm so glad you didn't
OK, it wasn't right but it was such a perfect night
...

So I help you hide my presence;
it reminds me of my adolescence
But this isn't fun; it feels like your boyfriend's won
But why are you so remorseful?
Look, it just happened and of course you will feel low, because you didn't say no
And I'm so glad you didn't
Until you got that call you didn't mention him at all
And I'm so glad you didn't
OK, it wasn't right but it was such a perfect night
I'm so glad you didn't
Until you got that call you didn't mention him at all
And I'm so glad you didn't
OK, it wasn't right but it was such a perfect night

I heard exactly what you said but I know that he slept in our bed
You should really take more care because all it took was a single hair
How would you, how could you not think that I'd realise?!
You must know you're just so terrible at telling lies
And did you really think I might not find out where you were last night?
Believe me, darling, it wasn't hard, when you paid for the meal on your credit card!
No don't flip, here's a tip: all it needs is a little thought
This will surprise you, but I don't want you to get caught
That's a price that I'll pay to stop you going away
Keep telling your lies, I won't criticise if it means you will stay
And you should probably tell him not to phone unless you're sure that you are going to be alone
This hanging up without him saying a word was maybe fine just once, but it's becoming absurd!
No don't flip, here's a tip: all it needs is a little thought
This will surprise you, but I don't want you to get caught
That's a price that I'll pay to stop you going away
Keep telling your lies, I won't criticise if it means you will stay
That's a price that I'll pay to stop you going away
Keep telling your lies, I won't criticise if it means you will stay
That's a price that I'll pay to stop you going away
Keep telling your lies, I won't criticise if it means you will stay

And we ate peaches in this very place
The juice was running down your face
I poured coffee from a flask; it tasted funny
And then we tried to make love by this lake
I remember you began to shake
And I was far too scared to ask if you were coming
We bought 'H & E' because we thought it was dirty
It's strange just how innocent it all looks today
We tried to imagine ourselves naked at thirty
But that always seemed such a long way away
...

We looked for mountaintops to climb
Just because we needed things to fill our time
We were young and free, and boy, did we abuse it
But everything was so clear-cut
And this is such a cliche but
You don't appreciate the joy until you lose it
I was jealous and mean you were fragrant and flirty
It's strange just how innocent it all looks today
We tried to imagine being together at thirty
But that always seemed such a long way away
