Cinerama

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?

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 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

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"

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'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

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

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

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

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

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

You've just walked in this room but things have changed forever now
Because you're the only thing in view
And when my girlfriend asks you: "please could you tell me how
You get them all to stare at you? "

You smile and say it's not your fault
Meanwhile the world's come to a halt


And once you've caught our gaze you'll never let it go again
But, oh, we'd never want you to
Because we're your puppets, yeah, women just as much as men
No one can take their eyes off you

You smile and say it's not your fault
Meanwhile the world's come to a halt

The radio's on, it's some jazzy 60s song
She makes him laugh out loud by trying to sing along
But how many years has it been since she was seventeen?
Still, she is flattered that someone so young's so keen

And so she won't refuse, well, what's she got to lose,
when she sees him glancing?
This kind of evening could be life enhancing
And so they talk all night until it's almost light
and then it's back to his place
Then she sees the uneasy look on his face

A gentle breeze shakes the petals from the trees
She says "Do what you like"
because boys aren't hard to please
It's over fast, although he tries to make it last
And then they lie and watch the sky turn overcast

It didn't mean a thing, it's not embarrassing,
it was just disappointing
She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing
And in a sixties song she'd go and prove them wrong
but this is too confusing
She gets what she wants but still ends up losing

She thought she'd turn a boy into a man
But in real life some things don't go to plan
...

And so she won't refuse, well, what's she got to lose,
when she sees him glancing?
This kind of evening could be life enhancing
And so they talk all night until it's almost light
and then it's back to his place
Then she sees the uneasy look on his face

It didn't mean a thing, it's not embarrassing,
it was just disappointing
She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing
And in a sixties song she'd go and prove them wrong
but this is too confusing
She gets what she wants but still ends up losing

Oh I wish you wouldn't let
Me read the letters that you get
Well, yeah, he's just a fool
But that doesn't make it any less cruel
But I can't look away
Especially when you say
You haven't read them yet
Cos there's someone else that you've already met

He says he misses you
But thinks you've been untrue
But he won't intervene
With your master plan whatever that might mean
But he can't understand
Why you got so offhand
You crushed him with your heels
And I know exactly how he feels

And I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
And I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored

You need a paramour
Someone to pluck your eyebrows for
And if no-one wants to play
Well, you'll probably stay in bed all day
But have you ever paused
To calculate the pain you've caused?
You say you want to live
But one day, something's got to give

I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
And I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored

I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored

You shake, I sweat, it stings
I ache, you're wet, I cling
Your thighs, your breasts, my cheek
Your eyes, undress, don't speak

Since when, on time, you smiled
Since then, oh I'm, beguiled
So pure, your skin, tiptoe
I'm sure, you win, don't go


Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"
Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"

I stare, for too long, and you woke


Your hair, a song, I stroke
I'm glad, this breeze, so still


You're sad, but please, I will

Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"
Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"

Superman
by Cinerama


I think I'm going to just tear you apart
Because this time you've been playing havoc with my heart
But it's already over, even if I'm the last to know

At least there's something on which we're both agreed
Oh yeah, we both know exactly what you need
Someone to satisfy you, someone who'll follow where you go

And that sounds just like a job for Superman
Not the lazy slob that you think I am
Because nothing I could do
Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

It's not as if you can say I haven't tried
But you want something that I just can't provide
I'm not a super hero; I just can't find a cloak and change

That sounds more like a job for Superman
Not the lazy slob that you think I am
Because nothing I could do
Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

Oh I know what this is all about
The wine goes in and the truth comes out
Don't give me that "unsuited" stuff
You just don't think I'm good enough

Because that's a job for Superman
Not the lazy slob that you think I am
Nothing I could do
Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

I don't see how you can carry on
I don't mean just now, I mean with anyone
I just wanted a romance
But little did I know I never stood a chance

And you know this is just like a children's fantasy
It's like a scene from "The Singing Ringing Tree"
But I can tell by your face that you're plagued with doubt
We can hold hands because nobody's about

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes
It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

You don't have to whisper every time you speak
And you don't have to jump at every single creak
So you changed your mind, you think it isn't right
At what point did you think of him last night?

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes
It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

You say you've got to telephone him once at least
Well how come your feelings for him just increased?
Look he's never ever going to find out where you've been
So wait until tomorrow before you start feeling mean

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes
It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

Your Charms
by Cinerama


You always seem to laugh
For every photograph
If I didn't know you better
I'd say you were flirting with the males
Because, oh, it never fails
To make them stare, etc.

But the ploys of womankind could not be
Further from your mind
That's never your intention
So I'm always amused
Whenever you are left confused
At being centre of attention

And darling, I just can't think clearly
It happens when I'm in your arms
And my heart is pounding
How pathetic is this sounding?
I'm unquestionably
Captivated by your charms
And the way you thrill me
I think I always will be

Now you're tossing back your hair
And you're completely unaware
Of how they're drooling over you
And it is no coincidence
Yes, it's your very innocence
That makes them act the way they do

And darling, I just can't think clearly
It happens when I'm in your arms
And my heart is pounding
How pathetic is this sounding?
I'm unquestionably
Captivated by your charms
And the way you thrill me
I think I always will be

I just can't think clearly
It happens when I'm in your arms
And my heart is pounding
How pathetic is this sounding?
I'm unquestionably
Captivated by your charms
And the way you thrill me
I think I always will be

I've given everything I have to give but it's not enough
And this might sound a little negative but I'm not that tough

And well, yeah, that's the difference there between us, you're so naïve
When they promise you the world, oh they don't really mean it, it's just make believe

Yeah, I've heard it all before
No, I don't care any…

More things to do but no time left to do them, so why persevere?
More goals but no opportunity to pursue them, so why am I here?

Yeah, I've heard it all before
No, I don't care any more

Maybe I need to try again
But I don't know how
You say you've got the answer
Well your time starts now
I need to try again
I don't know how
You say you've got the answer
Your time starts now

Yeah, I've heard it all before
No, I don't care any more

"It's 7X" and that's all that they'll say about Coke
And you're just as circumspect and I didn't mean that as a joke

Because I know everybody's got a secret deep inside
But you, oh you must be quite unique, the things you hide

You told me that you wanted to escape, so I stayed
Right here on my own, and thought about those vows we made

But now, I'm feeling totally perplexed, what did I do wrong?
Well how do I work out what comes next, do I play along?

When you say you hardly know me
And all that kind of stuff
You say that you don't owe me
But you're not telling me enough
And I don't want to seem unreasonable but I'd just like to know when
You are going to speak to me again

If you won't talk, how am I supposed to understand?
Say anything at all, I'd just like to know what you've got planned

Because now, I'm feeling totally perplexed, what did I do wrong?
Well how do I work out what comes next, do I play along?

When you say you hardly know me
And all that kind of stuff
You say that you don't owe me
But you're not telling me enough
And I don't want to seem unreasonable but I'd just like to know when
You are going to speak to me again

When you say you hardly know me
And all that kind of stuff
You say that you don't owe me
But you're not telling me enough
And I don't want to seem unreasonable but I'd just like to know when
You are going to speak to me again

He fell in love with the au pair
When she ran her fingers through his hair
And said: "It's silky"
He knew, of course, that he ought to be feeling guilty
But, no, he didn't care at all

He hadn't felt this great in years
Meanwhile, his wife's upstairs, in tears
Well, it's so corny
Her world's turned upside down because he felt horny
So tell me, how can it be fair?

But as they drive away she wonders just how long
It'll take for him to realise how much he's wrong

And when he comes home in disgrace
She'll slam the door right in his face
Well it's so sleazy
(Her: I wish you could see me in a white dress, looking divine)
He won't find coming back here quite as easy
(Her: I wish you could hear me sing like I did, my hymns and rhymes)
As he found going away

But as they disappear she hopes it won't be long
Before he ends up realising that he's wrong

You can't start a sentence like that and not end it
You can't write a letter like that and not send it
If you look away again I
Might ask you to explain why

You haven't really told me anything
The silence when you hold me is deafening

You can't get a 'phone call like that and not tell me
You can't lie with him in our bed and not smell me
If you look away again I
Might ask you to explain why

You haven't really told me anything
The silence when you hold me is deafening

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

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"

You swing your hips and then you wave me over
Your eyes are so blue
I stroke your lips, you call me Casanova
Oh honey you

Star in this film every single night and every single matinee
You should be here to bring it all to life
Oh I’m just a phone call away

We lie and listen to the raindrops falling
That's all we do
But the phone rings, and you laugh because it’s your husband calling
Oh darling you

Star in this film every single night and every single matinee
You should be here to bring it all to life
Oh I’m just a phone call away

And then you could be who you want to be
As long as you are near
What are you waiting for?
Everything you need is here
Just come and sleep with me
You must know what I mean
You've seen this film before
This is the final scene

Star in this film every single night and every single matinee
You should be here to bring it all to life
Oh I’m just a phone call away

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

Smoke
Lingers 'round your fingers
Train
Heave on - to Euston
Do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?
You left
Your tired family grieving
And you think they're sad because you're leaving
But didn't you see the Jealousy in the eyes
Of the ones who had to stay behind ?
And do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?
You left
Your girlfriend on the platform
With this really ragged notion that you'll return
But she knows
That when he goes
He really goes
So do you think you've made
The right decision this time ?

J'aime l'odeur de ta peau le matin.
Elle m'excite et je veux avoir mal.
Lit chaud. air froid.
Ton regard affam me brûle, et j'ai besoin de sentir plus.
Le sang sur tes ongles me fait peur, mais malgr tout je veux que tu restes.
Je suis meurtrie et corche, et je devrais souffrir, mais tu me retiens et
Tout me paraît bien.
Je t'en prie, crois-moi quand je te dis "ne me quitte plus."
Tout ce que je veux faire c'est tre couche tes côts, ici dans ce lit.

(his)
I love your flirting
And i love your fingers
And i love your boots
And i love your sigh

I love your murmur
And i love your freckles
And i love the way
You say "goodbye"

I love the smell of your skin, in the morning
It excites me, and i want to feel sore
Warm bed, cold air, your hungry stare
Delights me, and now i need some more

I love your scratches
And i love your teasing
And i love your sweat
And i love your voice

I love your riddles
And i love your shivers
And i love your curl
And i love your toys

And seeing blood on your nails just never fails
To appal me, but i still want you to stay
I'm bruised, i'm cut, it ought to hurt, but
You enthral me, and that makes it okay

And please, just believe me, when i say "don't ever leave me"
Because lying here beside you, is all i want to do

The smell of your skin, in the morning
Excites me, and i want to feel sore
Warm bed, cold air, your hungry stare
Delights me, and now i need some more

Blood on your nails just never fails
To appal me, but i still want you to stay
I'm bruised i'm cut, it ought to hurt, but
You enthral me, and that makes it okay

(hers)
I love your stubble
I love your navel
I love your frown
I love your heels

I love your lipstick
I love your biting
I love your tongue
And the way it feels

I love your letters
I love your phone calls
I love your hips
Your naked wrists

I love your stories
I love your sisters
I love your tears
I love your breasts

I love your whispers
I love your dancing
I love your thirst
I love your lies

I love your tantrums
I love your perfume
I love your teeth
Your big surprise

I love your bleeding
I love your mischief
I love your eyes
Those things you said

I love your temper
I love your trembling
I love to lie
Here in your bed

I love your stubble
I love your navel
I love your frown
I love your heels

I love your lipstick
I love your biting
I love your tongue
And the way it feels

I love your letters
I love your phone calls
I love your hips
Your naked wrists

I love your stories
I love your sisters
I love your tears
I love your breasts

I love your whispers
I love your dancing
I love your thirst
I love your lies

I love your tantrums
I love your perfume
I love your teeth
Your big surprise

I love your bleeding
I love your mischief
I love your eyes
Those things you said

I love your temper
I love your trembling
I love to lie
Here in your bed

I cant help staring when you're hardly wearing a thing
Your lascivious mouth is full of smiles
Your laughter echoes off the bathroom tiles
With your pretty hands folded sweetly in your lap
You make such a tantalising trap

But who deserves your perfect curves and wiles?
Well, I can tell you now that it won't be me
Because my girlfriend's waiting patiently
And I have noticed that you're inclined to tease
So don't make this any harder for me please

Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?

You kissed me once and you got a response, and I know
After a kiss like that some men would leave their wife
But I don't want to destroy my life
Just because you look at me that way
It doesn't mean that I'm about to stay

But I can hardly believe
That I'm about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home


Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?

Of course I want to share your bed with you
But if I stay tonight I can never go home

But I can hardly believe
That I'm about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home

Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?

Oh I can hardly believe
That I'm about to just leave
Because some weird chromosome
Somewhere deep inside is calling me home

Oh please don't look so confused
I guess you're seldom refused
You must think I'm insane
Walking out knowing I won't get this chance again?

I'll come back somehow
Because I love it when the sky is stormy
But I've got to leave right now
Before she comes round here looking for me

(Her: What are you scared of now?)

OK, I'll show you what she'll do if she finds out that I've been underhand
Kiss kiss bang bang

You don't need to call
Because I know that you don't really love me
Oh I don't mind at all
You're just the female version of me

(Her: What are you scared of now?)

OK, I'll show you what she'll do if she finds out that I've been underhand
Kiss kiss bang bang

OK, I'll show you what she'll do if she finds out that I've been underhand
Kiss kiss bang bang

And what she gets she doesn't want
And what she gets she doesn't want


We swam across the bay
A single plane flew across the sky
Then we lay on our backs and made pictures with the clouds
I tasted the ocean when i kissed her fingers


And what she gets she doesn't want
And what she gets she doesn't want


A warm breeze carried her scent to me
She said: i know i've hurt you
She took my hand and sighed
but in the middle of the night you will think of me

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

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

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

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 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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

You've just walked in this room but things have changed forever now
Because you're the only thing in view
And when my girlfriend asks you: "please could you tell me how
You get them all to stare at you? "

You smile and say it's not your fault
Meanwhile the world's come to a halt


And once you've caught our gaze you'll never let it go again
But, oh, we'd never want you to
Because we're your puppets, yeah, women just as much as men
No one can take their eyes off you

You smile and say it's not your fault
Meanwhile the world's come to a halt

The radio's on, it's some jazzy 60s song
She makes him laugh out loud by trying to sing along
But how many years has it been since she was seventeen?
Still, she is flattered that someone so young's so keen

And so she won't refuse, well, what's she got to lose,
when she sees him glancing?
This kind of evening could be life enhancing
And so they talk all night until it's almost light
and then it's back to his place
Then she sees the uneasy look on his face

A gentle breeze shakes the petals from the trees
She says "Do what you like"
because boys aren't hard to please
It's over fast, although he tries to make it last
And then they lie and watch the sky turn overcast

It didn't mean a thing, it's not embarrassing,
it was just disappointing
She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing
And in a sixties song she'd go and prove them wrong
but this is too confusing
She gets what she wants but still ends up losing

She thought she'd turn a boy into a man
But in real life some things don't go to plan
...

And so she won't refuse, well, what's she got to lose,
when she sees him glancing?
This kind of evening could be life enhancing
And so they talk all night until it's almost light
and then it's back to his place
Then she sees the uneasy look on his face

It didn't mean a thing, it's not embarrassing,
it was just disappointing
She goes back to work and all her friends are pointing
And in a sixties song she'd go and prove them wrong
but this is too confusing
She gets what she wants but still ends up losing

And with so many people in the room above
That was the weirdest place that I've ever made love
I was so sure you were trying to impress
That my heart stopped dead when you slipped out…

Slipped right out of your dress
I knew that you would say yes
Yeah, what if we'd been caught?
I never gave it a thought!

Everybody wants to know
How every party seems to become my show
They ask me why my life is never dull
I just say: "Because…"

"Because I'm beautiful…"
Oh I'm sure there's no man you can't pull
But that was just a joke!
I saw his face when you spoke

And when the conversation turns to sex
You always say something no one expects

And that's exactly why I love you
That's why I can't get enough of you
You're unconventional but it's not intentional and that's the greatest thing about you
You're a premium bohemian and I couldn't live one day without you

So beautiful!
I'm sure there's no girl you can't pull
But that was just a joke!
Well I saw her face when you spoke

And when the conversation turns to sex
You always say something no one expects

And that's exactly why I love you
That's why I can't get enough of you
You're unconventional but it's not intentional and that's the greatest thing about you
You're a premium bohemian and I couldn't live one day without you

And that's exactly why I love you
That's why I can't get enough of you
You're unconventional but it's not intentional and that's the greatest thing about you
You're a premium bohemian and I couldn't live one day without you

Oh I wish you wouldn't let
Me read the letters that you get
Well, yeah, he's just a fool
But that doesn't make it any less cruel
But I can't look away
Especially when you say
You haven't read them yet
Cos there's someone else that you've already met

He says he misses you
But thinks you've been untrue
But he won't intervene
With your master plan whatever that might mean
But he can't understand
Why you got so offhand
You crushed him with your heels
And I know exactly how he feels

And I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
And I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored

You need a paramour
Someone to pluck your eyebrows for
And if no-one wants to play
Well, you'll probably stay in bed all day
But have you ever paused
To calculate the pain you've caused?
You say you want to live
But one day, something's got to give

I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
And I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored

I don't really care
That you've found another lover
Because I know he'll be gone
The moment that you get bored
I know I shouldn't stare
When you kiss him like you kissed the others
He's just another one
Who thinks you should be adored

And it might seem unorthodox
But I am trying to remove all traces of your personality
So I'm sending you a box
Full of stuff you left when you decided that you'd had enough of me

So here are your things starting with a pair of earrings
And I just bet this is your Corrs cassette

It might sound a little lame
But we had something so good that I don't want to remember any more
Because whatever it became
It started out as something that I've never quite experienced before

I put this in because it looked feminine
I'm not quite sure if it was mine or yours

Can we pretend we never met?
Pretend there's nothing to forget
Can we pretend we weren't in love?
Let's pretend we've no-body to be reminded of

And now that I've begun I'm finding things everywhere
When I think that I am done, I'll find some underwear

Can we pretend we never met?
Pretend there's nothing to forget
Can we pretend we weren't in love?
Let's pretend we've no-body to be reminded of

You shake, I sweat, it stings
I ache, you're wet, I cling
Your thighs, your breasts, my cheek
Your eyes, undress, don't speak

Since when, on time, you smiled
Since then, oh I'm, beguiled
So pure, your skin, tiptoe
I'm sure, you win, don't go


Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"
Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"

I stare, for too long, and you woke


Your hair, a song, I stroke
I'm glad, this breeze, so still


You're sad, but please, I will

Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"
Like Gina Lollobrigida in "Belles de Nuit"

Superman
by Cinerama


I think I'm going to just tear you apart
Because this time you've been playing havoc with my heart
But it's already over, even if I'm the last to know

At least there's something on which we're both agreed
Oh yeah, we both know exactly what you need
Someone to satisfy you, someone who'll follow where you go

And that sounds just like a job for Superman
Not the lazy slob that you think I am
Because nothing I could do
Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

It's not as if you can say I haven't tried
But you want something that I just can't provide
I'm not a super hero; I just can't find a cloak and change

That sounds more like a job for Superman
Not the lazy slob that you think I am
Because nothing I could do
Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

Oh I know what this is all about
The wine goes in and the truth comes out
Don't give me that "unsuited" stuff
You just don't think I'm good enough

Because that's a job for Superman
Not the lazy slob that you think I am
Nothing I could do
Is ever going to be quite good enough for you

I don't see how you can carry on
I don't mean just now, I mean with anyone
I just wanted a romance
But little did I know I never stood a chance

And you know this is just like a children's fantasy
It's like a scene from "The Singing Ringing Tree"
But I can tell by your face that you're plagued with doubt
We can hold hands because nobody's about

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes
It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

You don't have to whisper every time you speak
And you don't have to jump at every single creak
So you changed your mind, you think it isn't right
At what point did you think of him last night?

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes
It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

You say you've got to telephone him once at least
Well how come your feelings for him just increased?
Look he's never ever going to find out where you've been
So wait until tomorrow before you start feeling mean

Just unzip your inhibitions but, honey, leave on those shoes
It's completely your decision, but what have you got to lose?

You've avoided questions that could've easily spoilt the mood
Like where does my girlfriend work, what's her favourite food?
I think I know someone who could give me an alibi
So, yes, I think I've just proved that I'm prepared to lie


But there is nothing quite like a secret rendezvous
I think I know already what I'm going to do
Outside the air is cold and your arm slips into mine
When you invite me in, you know I won't decline


But I don't want to stay forever
I don't want to leave my girlfriend but, wow!
This isn't happening the way I'd planned
I'm not going to say never
But I don't want to fall in love right now
Well, just as long as we both understand


As you lead me up the stairs, I'm leering at your thighs
You're revealing parts of me I just don't recognise
You leave behind a scent that lingers in the air
It draws me up the steps, but I should not be there


But I don't want to stay forever
I don't want to leave my girlfriend but, wow!
This isn't happening the way I'd planned
I'm not going to say never
But I don't want to fall in love right now
Well, just as long as we both understand


You're telling me, almost compelling me to stay
But don't close the door, because I'm still not sure
OK

Your Charms
by Cinerama


You always seem to laugh
For every photograph
If I didn't know you better
I'd say you were flirting with the males
Because, oh, it never fails
To make them stare, etc.

But the ploys of womankind could not be
Further from your mind
That's never your intention
So I'm always amused
Whenever you are left confused
At being centre of attention

And darling, I just can't think clearly
It happens when I'm in your arms
And my heart is pounding
How pathetic is this sounding?
I'm unquestionably
Captivated by your charms
And the way you thrill me
I think I always will be

Now you're tossing back your hair
And you're completely unaware
Of how they're drooling over you
And it is no coincidence
Yes, it's your very innocence
That makes them act the way they do

And darling, I just can't think clearly
It happens when I'm in your arms
And my heart is pounding
How pathetic is this sounding?
I'm unquestionably
Captivated by your charms
And the way you thrill me
I think I always will be

I just can't think clearly
It happens when I'm in your arms
And my heart is pounding
How pathetic is this sounding?
I'm unquestionably
Captivated by your charms
And the way you thrill me
I think I always will be

I've given everything I have to give but it's not enough
And this might sound a little negative but I'm not that tough

And well, yeah, that's the difference there between us, you're so naïve
When they promise you the world, oh they don't really mean it, it's just make believe

Yeah, I've heard it all before
No, I don't care any…

More things to do but no time left to do them, so why persevere?
More goals but no opportunity to pursue them, so why am I here?

Yeah, I've heard it all before
No, I don't care any more

Maybe I need to try again
But I don't know how
You say you've got the answer
Well your time starts now
I need to try again
I don't know how
You say you've got the answer
Your time starts now

Yeah, I've heard it all before
No, I don't care any more
